Every American Has Troubles

Everybody has troubles. If you don’t believe it then ask any American living in the year 2020. Most of us are accustomed to having troubles occasionally. Some have more than others. Some people think that “some people” never have a problem. All people on some level have troubles.

People in obscurity have troubles. Today, 2020 in almost every inch of the United States and with…

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. My Dad, a U.S. Army veteran and small business owner, was proudly in attendance. Speaking before those at the convention and on television, I described my family’s history as small business owners.

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. As outrageous as that is, the same closely directed mobs are defacing and destroying public buildings, blocking highways and tearing down monuments. These cowardly wannabe warriors are bravely attacking innocent, inoffensive and frail elderly people on the streets. If these sorts of activities were being committed against our citizens and our country by uniformed foreign troops, it would rightly be…
