Last week, we saw the face of another Judas betraying the American people as Paul Ryan not only passed a $1 trillion omnibus bill fully funding Barack Obama’s illegal Muslim immigration plans. Paul Ryan stated, “The job of U.S. lawmakers is to put yourself in shoes of foreign citizens.”

Today, South Dakota Secretary of State Shantel Krebs announced that South Dakota has seen a large increase in conceal carry weapon permits for 2015. “In the month of December alone we have seen the number of permits issued double from 1,423 in 2014 to 2,968 in 2015.

As has always been the case for Americans, the new year is a time for setting new goals, seeking restoration and renewal, shedding harmful habits, and resolving to do better in the future. Here are some resolutions that our nation would do well to adopt for 2016.

Chief among them, and dog-paddling neck-deep in crocodile tears, was Hillary Clinton.

By Grant Carson Last week, a terrorist couple slaughtered fourteen people and injured twenty-one others in San Bernardino, California. Shooter Tashfeen Malik, a Pakistani citizen and the wife of the other shooter Syed Farook, entered the United States with a K-1 visa which had an inaccurate address.
