By almost any definition, democracies are based on the government implementing the will of the people as expressed in elections, but the people have spoken and suddenly, that will must be denied by any means necessary. In the history of American politics, few things were more clear than President Donald Trump’s pledge to conduct mass… Continue reading Democrats against democracy
The media and social media is in an uproar about the government shutdown, handicapping which party will prevail while the parties themselves play the usual blame game even as it is unclear the average person has noticed a thing so far. As the Associated Press characterized it on Friday morning, “Hopes for a quick end… Continue reading If a government shuts down in the forest over healthcare and illegal aliens…

Can firing a bureaucrat in DC cause a plane to crash in Toronto? According to wild new theory being promulgated by progressives and the media, it certainly can.
