McGuire Can Win the General Election! I am behind on politics but the final decision is not made yet on the GOP candidate in the Seventh – there are several fine candidates running and I am sure any one of the six is better than the incumbent Rep. Abigail Spanberger but I wanted to place […]

Sudden Withdrawal Is Unexpected Considering The Ballot Access Effort I just got this startling press release from a friend of the blog – but it was originally from the Omari Faulkner campaign. He starts with this: Bluemont, VA. — It is with a heavy heart that I come to this decision. In this unprecedented time, with […]

Others should too! I want to make it clear: I am for Rep. Thomas Massie. I am concerned about two articles: First, Breitbart has in effect an editorial/op-ed at least about Massie and the writer (Virgil – obviously a pseudonym) where this writer compares Massie to the sole representative to vote against the declaration of […]

The Decision Only Applies to the GOP Senate Primary, BUT… There was a development almost missed by many with COVID-19 and social distancing BUT it’s important (certainly important to Omari Faulkner) but it is a chink in the armor of our draconian ballot access rules. The GOP primary for United States Senate to run a […]

The Other Members of Congress Should Have Stayed In Town Until Business Was Done! So Stop Whining! Those words were my tweet back to the Congressman from Kentucky Thomas H. Massie.

No, and Neither Should Non-Members of Congress! I am deeply concerned about the allegations that various Members of Congress might have traded on their stock portfolios after meeting with the President about the coronavirus pandemic.

Climate change is NOT the issue – it’s the proposed solutions: World Government. Loss of Liberty!

The General Assembly CAN undo this error!

Gabbard’s anti-war, anti-intervention message is the reason I have said several times at this blog that it is politically unethical to interfere in the other party’s primary to elect the weakest candidate (That means Republicans should stay out and not vote for Bernie Sanders!)
