Sending Troops into Chicago: The Argument From the Left – Part 2 of 3

I continue with a recap from my debate with a man I am calling Ferdinand Yocum as we debate whether President Donald Trump is justified in sending in the National Guard into Chicago to try to quell the violence. Ferdinand says no. I say yes. Again, I will designate Ferdinand Yocum with the initials FY […]

Not long ago I was involved in a serious dialogue with a man of the Left. Some would actually call it a debate. So be it. In the interest of full disclosure, the man, (let’s call him, . .

Let’s talk about presidential power. It can cut both ways, and as a loyal American, you should be thinking about this because it directly affects your well-being.

At its core, politics is about how people live together in groups and make collective decisions, especially regarding power, resources, rights, and responsibilities.

In June 2011, in Minneapolis, Minnesota, a man who goes by the name of CeCe McDonald and who insists he is a woman, stabbed Dean Schmitz to death with a knife. In March 2023, in Nashville, Tennessee, a woman who goes by the name of Aiden Hale and who insisted she was a man, walked […]

One of the more interesting social phenomena in recent member involves a new mental disease affecting a significant percentage of the U.S. population. This mental-psychological contagion found its birth on June 16, 2015. What happened on June 16, 2015? That was the date Donald Trump, the New York Real Estate tycoon and star of the […]

So here is what we know at this stage of the game: various luminaries in the Obama Administration, including President Obama himself, appear to have manufactured the Russia-Collusion Hoax in order to try to destroy the candidacy of Donald Trump during the 2016 election, and/or destroy President Donald Trump after he won that election. In […]
