Every single day, the mainstream media bombards us with subtle messages that make it clear what is “appropriate” and what is “inappropriate,” and most Americans quietly fall in line with this unwritten speech code. But just because it is not written down somewhere does not mean that it isn’t real. In fact, this speech code becomes more restrictive and more suffocating with each passing year.

It is ironic that politicians think our country will be kept safe by collecting phone records while illegal immigrants are crossing our border every day, and the government plans to let in 10,000 potential terrorists in a foolish refugee program. Imagine if instead of invading our privacy, our government simply secured our border, and ended insane refugee programs that could bring terrorists to U.S. soil.

In recent years, the world has put a lot of emphasis on things like Santa Claus, elves, and the latest and greatest toys. While there’s nothing wrong with these things, that’s not what Christmas is really about.

Evidence shows that they both committed to “jihad” and “martyrdom” at least two years ago. Somehow our government didn’t discover this, and Malik was admitted into the U.S. and later given a green card. In observation of these facts, the vetting and admission process for immigrants is obviously broken.

With the current hostile political climate of the world, and with ISIS declaring war on the U.S. in 2012, and with terrorists invading countries posing as refugees, is admitting […]

It will not do to merely oppose the other side when you have the reins of government. Republicans must put forward practical policies if they are sincere in their desire to improve our government and secure our future.

If climate change were to exist, “What should the government do?” As law-abiding Americans who care about the rule of law, we should first look to our nation’s highest law, the U.S. Constitution, to see what government should do about it.

The federal government has far overstepped the limitations set for it in the Constitution.  As always, Washington claims that if it has more power, it will fix our problems.  But if Washington has not fixed, but only grown these problems when they claim more unconstitutional power, how would the cycle change if we gave Congress, or the President more power?

Last week around midnight, a new “spending bill” passed the House, increasing the national debt by billions. This was John Boehner’s final act as Speaker of the House.
