Real Facts from Our Border

“Chuck and Nancy” are not giving the American public all the facts when it comes to the issue of securing our southern border. It is sad, tragic, that a seven-year-old little girl lost her life — likely due to journey-related causes — but how many American citizens have lost their lives at the hands of illegal immigrants? Why is it that we do not see the same fervor from the liberal progressive media and progressive socialists when American lives are lost? Kate Steinle and Mollie Tibbetts imm...

Confiscate My Firearms? Molon Labe!

As y’all know, I am a Board Member of the National Rifle Association, the nation’s oldest civil rights organization, founded in 1871. I have completed my first three-year term and will be up for re-election in 2019. It has been an honor to serve, and be a voice for law-abiding legal gun owners in my beloved America. I can’t think of a better time to be on the NRA Board as we think about the ascendancy of progressive socialism, and its stated target, our Second Amendment rights. You have heard...

[VIDEO] Article V Convention of States

During a recent Q & A session, I was asked about Article V Convention of States, and my thoughts on the matter. There were a number of follow-up questions, so this is a compilation of those answers. What are your thoughts?

The Locust Effect: Coming to a State Near You?

As you know, I have my second book out, Hold Texas, Hold the Nation: Victory or Death. The premise of the book is easy to understand: businesses, corporations, and individuals are moving into Texas from failed blue states, not fully comprehending why they moved to Texas. The result is that there is a movement to “Turn Texas Blue” — meaning turn it into a failed progressive socialist state. Ya know, kinda like what they moved from in the first place.

This phenomenon has happened in Nevada, Ari...

Dire Lessons the US Must Learn from Europe

It is amazing to me to watch history unfold before our eyes and many do not realize it is happening. I remember when I read a book by Mark Steyn called America Alone. In that book, he articulated the coming demise and downfall of old Europe based upon one very telling factor, demographic shift. Steyn’s literary work examined the falling birth rates in Western European countries and saw that as a “canary in a coal mine.” He did a comparative analysis with those of white Europeans to that of th...

First Amendment Under Fire in the Classroom

Oh boy, here we go again . . . Perhaps you remember the song from Crosby, Stills, and Nash called “Teach the Children Well.” Sadly, today, we are not focusing on teaching or educating our children, but rather indoctrinating them as the elitists of academia and culture demand. I often share with people that the most important elected position in America is not a president, senator, congressman, or governor . . . but, rather, it is a member of the school board.

Here, again, we have evidence as...

The Chicago Way

Just last week I was watching — for the umpteenth time — the movie “The Untouchables” which was about the taking down of Chicago mob boss Al Capone by Prohibition Agent Eliot Ness. Of course, we all know that prohibition was overturned in the end. However, my most favorite moment in the movie — yes, even topping Kevin Costner as Eliot Ness tossing Capone’s enforcer character, Frank Nitti, off the roof of the building — was when Sean Connery’s character explained “The Chicago Way” to Costner....

A Good Woman with a Gun

Last week I shared with you a ruling by Federal Court judges who upheld a New Jersey law that will restrict the number of rounds a person may have in their semi-automatic pistol. I articulated that I found it astonishing that these black-robed judicial activists found it lawful for the government to tell law-abiding citizens how many rounds they are allowed for their own self-defense. With this being the case, you can bet that if the government says you can only have 10 rounds, then why not f...

[VIDEO] On Being an American Black Man

Recently, in a Q&A session, I was referred to as African-American. Here’s what I had to say about that:
