Kamala Harris’ New Wealth Redistribution Plan

Well, it’s the third Saturday in October, and if you know anything about SEC football, that means one thing: Tennessee Volunteers vs Alabama Crimson Tide. I am still in amazement at the Vols win at Auburn last week. However, the #1 Crimson Tide is rolling into Knoxville, and the odds are not in our favor. I’m only hoping that we can potentially be competitive through three quarters, and not get taken to the woodshed in the first half. Now, some of you may say that ain’t hope, it’s fools gold,...

If I Were Secretary of State

I spent two-and-a-half years in Afghanistan as an adviser/mentor to the Afghanistan National Army. I shall never forget the unilateral declaration of Barack Obama that “combat operations had ceased” in that war-torn, troubled nation. Combat operations only cease when you either win, or you lose. No competent leader would just say we aren’t playing any more, and leave your enemy on the battlefield. And, yes, the Taliban, ISIS, Haqqani Network, and any Islamic jihadist group are our enemies. We...

Training the Leaders of Tomorrow

Once again, thanks so very much for an awesome opening debut for my second book, “Hold Texas, Hold the Nation: Victory or Death.” For those of you who have your copy of the book, you know that I do a comparative analysis of Texas and California when it comes to economic policies.

There can be no doubt that California is getting it all wrong when it comes to tax, regulatory, and overall economic policies that encourage economic growth, prosperity, and success.

Along with that, there is a defin...

New Assault on Free Speech

Greetings, everyone, from Carlsbad, California I have had a full day between Sacramento and San Diego here, in the so-called “Golden State,” discussing policy issues with major conservative donors. Yes, there are major conservative donors to the cause in California.

First, I just want to thank y’all for making my second book, Hold Texas, Hold the Nation: Victory or Death #1 on Amazon yesterday, in its category. Only in America can a fella like me, born and raised in the inner city of Atlanta,...

The ‘Know-Nothing’ Party

Yep, I went there, and it is a pretty valid assertion. Back in the late 1840’s and early 1850’s there was a political party that had that moniker. They were also called the Native American, and American Party.

Now there are those who will say that the “Know-Nothing” Party was more associated with right-wing than leftist but that is not my premise. The moniker “Know-Nothing” explicitly fits today’s Democrat [Socialist] mob who have no policy platform other than forcing compliance by way of thr...

Statement on Facebook and Twitter Purges

I know y’all have heard about these recent Facebook and Twitter purges, but my Facebook page (the only page I have ever had, or have ever been affiliated with on Facebook), and Twitter account, @AllenWest, with the blue verified check mark on each platform, weren’t part of it.

Neither account has ever been banned or purged. You are hearing it from me, directly, and I’d appreciate your help in letting others know when you see this false information online.

This misinformation has circulated en...
