Send us Fan Mail This week we saw the Left act in the Trump indictment. But how will the Right react? Though the Left never seems to anticipate reactions, they always occur.  We look at governance, education, SCOTUS, Nixon, and even stolen elections to see a distinct pattern.

Send us Fan Mail Those who have the label RINOs can still be conservative. And those throwing around that term, are often not.  So I am using the new term CINO, a conservative in name only.
