The Founding Fathers' Reasoning And Perspective With Respect To Firearms Rights 14.12.2023

The recent mass shooting in Lewiston, Maine, has again sparked the debate over not only the "assault" rifle issue, but also the broader gun rights discussion. Whether it's the mainstream media, an elected official or your brother-in-law, the motivations, goals and historic perspective of the Founding Fathers are rarely, if ever, addressed by those who wish to disarm law-abiding American citizens o...

California's Homelessness Crisis and Political Theater 14.12.2023

While California's homeless population continues to destroy its cities, Gavin Newsom remains focused only on his image and political aspirations.

Dangerous Bedfellows 14.12.2023

Some call it inconsistency, others say it's political schizophrenia. I call it straight up dishonesty and an insatiable thirst for control and power by the so-called elite class. What am I referring to? The left is engaging in an all-out effort to usurp the Constitution and the Supreme Court regarding the Second Amendment. The radical mainstream media is concert with rogue elected officials who wi...

Is California A Model State For The Country? 14.12.2023

Is California A Model State For The Country? Gavin Newsom wants to convince you that it is. He wants to do to the Untied States what he's done to California. Yes, we all know he has "endorsed" Joe Biden for president, but I don't trust him. Newsom is hell bent on becoming president, and is just waiting for the right opening to throw his hat in the ring.

Over recent years, we have watched as San Francisco has become so crime ridden that productive citizens are fleeing in droves, tourism continues to contract, and prominent companies are closing their doors with no plans to return.

A Tale of Two Cities with Special Guest: Marcelo Arrue 14.12.2023
