What This Election Means for Illegal Immigration
Remember the little diddy of a chant from the anti-war protesters who would shout “one, two, three, four, what the heck are we fighting for?” Well, a week ago, what the heck were the American people voting for? Seriously, now that it has been a week, let’s take a serious reflective look and ask that critical question. I believe that more people went to the polls last week to vote against something, rather than for something . . . at least some did. One of the critical ramifications, consequen...

How to Combat Socialism
I had an incredible Veterans Day weekend between being in Knoxville, Tennessee and Chardon, Ohio. However, the entire weekend was summed up in a conversation with a woman who was traveling back to Dallas on the same flight as I from Cleveland. She recognized me as I sat there awaiting the flight, and we struck up an interesting dialogue. She was concerned about the direction in which this country is heading. The reason why? She was from Romania and came to America in 1983. If you know your hi...

The Last Full Measure of Devotion
Greetings, everyone, from Knoxville, Tennessee!
Last night I attended the University of Tennessee Army ROTC Hall of Fame induction dinner and reunion. Today we are heading over to the alumni tailgate and the Tennessee vs Kentucky football game.
It is a great weekend to celebrate being around my fellow Volunteer Army brothers and sisters who have served long and distinguished careers in the service of our country. Even as we are witnessing the worst about our democracy, voter fraud — and yes,...

More Consequences of the 2018 Election
One of the aspects that very few are talking about when it comes to the results of the 2018 midterm elections are the ramifications on foreign policy. Trade agreements are ratified through the US Senate. But what will be the focus of the new leadership of the House Foreign Affairs Committee (potential new Chairman Eliot Engel, D-NY), or even the House Armed Services Committee (potential new Chairman Adam Smith, D-WA)? I think we all know what potential new Chairman of the House Permanent Sele...
Voter Fraud in Florida
First of all, I am humbled by all the mentions on social media, as this situation plays out in Florida. Many of you remember what happened to me, in my Congressional race, in 2012, and I am deeply appreciative of your remembrance and support.
Allegations of voter fraud and election irregularities in South Florida? Nothing new there, as I know all about it — from St. Lucie to Palm Beach to Broward counties.
Supervisors of election Gertrude Walker, Susan Bucher, and Brenda Snipes. Six years ago...
Tired of Louis Farrakhan? Raise Your Hand
Okay, needless to say, you can ascertain the subject of this missive, and I would expect lots of hands to be going up across the land. Those hands that are not going up, well, I have words that cannot be repeated here. There has to come a day when we have the courage to delineate between free speech, and sedition, as well as treason. I am still befuddled as to why John Kerry has not been brought up on charges under the Logan Act. Now, I must ask, what will it take for this nation to finally s...

Singing ‘Rocky Top’
If you know anything about me, you know I love my Tennessee Vols! Someone gifted me with this, so I can sing ol’ “Rocky Top” whenever the mood strikes! Click the player below and sing along with me!
The post Singing ‘Rocky Top’ appeared first on The Old School Patriot.
Solving America’s Health Care Problem
The midterm elections are over and we are getting feedback from exit polls. It appears that the number one issue, according to those who responded, was health care, followed by the economy, and illegal immigration.
If there is one thing you have to credit the progressive socialists for, it’s being able to message. Of course, it doesn’t hurt to have the liberal progressive media espousing your talking points. Not only does the liberal progressive media regurgitate the left’s talking points, bu...

Post Midterm Points of Hypocrisy
Good morning!
I had a restful five hours of sleep. As I awoke, feeling a tad more lucid, I had some interesting thoughts. I listened to Nancy Pelosi’s speech from last night, and her words about transparency and integrity garnered my attention. Needless to say, she has her own internal fight on her hands to become the next Speaker, and those newbie socialist members of Congress may not sit quietly.
But, consider these points of hypocrisy from yesterday:
In New Jersey, a paper there told the v...
My Assessment of the 2018 Midterm Elections
As I write this, it is 12:36 am here in Dallas, Texas, just having arrived after doing election night coverage for local CBS-11 Dallas-Ft. Worth.
As I asserted yesterday, the US House of Representatives went to the Democrats. They needed 23 seats to gain the majority, and it is believed they will attain 35 seats. The GOP retained the US Senate, and gained seats. However, at the time of this writing, the results are not in for Montana, Arizona, and Nevada.
What was impressive was that this was...
