Why Trump’s massive victory gives me hope for the future and renewed pride in the American experiment

The people have spoken and they have shouted:  We will not be told what to do, what to think, what to believe, how to act, how to live, and how to vote in record numbers.  At the risk of sounding like Michelle Obama, I have never been more proud of my country than last Tuesday… Continue reading Why Trump’s massive victory gives me hope for the future and renewed pride in the American experiment

Reminder: Democrats lead an unprecedented assault on freedom and democracy during the pandemic
