If anyone is looking to help my friend out, do NOT use Facebook. Here's why: Facebook - you're on my mind. You are a LEECH. A SCUM SUCKER. I, a disabled Navy veteran, donated to a classmate, friend, and fellow veterans benefit for his medical care. YOU, FACEBOOK, took a "fee" out of that donation. So, my donation wasn't a donation, it was a money making opportunity for you. I will be calling my financial institution at 12 Noon on 22 / Jan / 2021 (TOMORRROW) and refuting the charge if you do not either reverse the fee, or cancel...

Rep. Peter Meijer (R–Mich.), the Republican successor to the retiring Libertarian Justin Amash, has had quite the week.

Thomas Massie (R–Ky.) and Chip Roy (R–Texas), in objecting to Republican attempts to delay or oppose the certification of Joe Biden as president-elect. ("To unconstitutionally insert Congress into the center of the presidential election process — would amount to stealing power from the people and the states," they wrote.) And on Wednesday? "Definitely didn't expect to...

I am an average veteran who served to protect our nation, supporting and defending the Constitution, for 24 years. Americans have endured a challenging national election. There are now credible indications of voter fraud that may have affected the outcome of our election based on statistically significant data and eyewitness accounts. Should this turn out to be true, it would be devastating to a process that is looked upon by the entire world as a model to imitate, and it would directly threaten our ability to continue living free under the Constitution.

Maxine Waters in California’s 43rd Congressional District, launched a campaign ad Saturday blasting the congresswoman for residing outside the district she represents while her constituents “suffer the consequences” of her policies. “Maxine does not live in her district.

And while she sits here in her mansion, our district is in ruins.” ... Do you know...

#WalkAway: If I had to describe the people who've chosen to #WalkAway from the Democratic Party only one word comes to mind: Americans. Quintessential melting pot. E pluribus unum. Out of many, one. Americans. They are every ethnicity, every color, every religion, every nationality, every age, every gender, every sexuality. Many were born on foreign shores.

There was a moment when the scales fell from each...

Source: Photo Courtesy of Salena ZitoBEDFORD, Pennsylvania -- The first time I saw Ryan Decker a few weeks ago, he was standing on the corner of the Lincoln Highway and South Richard Street holding an oversized homemade sign that read, "BEEF JERKY COSTS TOO MUCH." I thought to myself, "You know, he's not wrong." His next sign was along the berm of U.S. 30, a four-lane highway. It read, "STOP DRIVING SLOW IN THE PASSING LANE." Once again, not wrong, and funny. A few days later, he was standing in front of the local Weiss supermarket with a sign that...
