The presidential election and its impact on economic freedom

Four years ago, I was honored to share why I was supporting then-candidate Donald J. Trump on the stage of the 2016 Republican National Convention in Cleveland, Ohio.

Treason

Dear Editor, We are unceasingly deluged with descriptions and images of cities being destroyed piecemeal by organized crowds of sanctioned and protected thugs who, completely unopposed, riot, loot, burn and destroy the property and businesses of hard-working, productive, taxpaying citizens.

BOULDER CITY, Nev. – The National Park Service has issued permits to Las Vegas Scuba, LLC and Scuba Training and Technology Inc., to provide guided technical dives on the World War II B-29 vintage plane.
