On The Road Again
Millions of Americans are doing just that today “on the road” taking part in the third “No Kings” protest. If you’re paying attention, it’s easy to understand what is driving this exploding protest. They are taking over the country to say “No Kings”.
The public is frustrated by President Donald Trump himself. Even a Fox News poll (Trump’s station of choice) released this week found 47% of those questioned disapprove of Trump’s presidency.
Driving this frustration is inflation, which is driving up prices and raising costs compounded by “Trump’s War” in the Middle East. Polls and stories from many sources show Trump’s judgement is being called into question at home and abroad.
In the past foreign conflicts have helped previous presidents rally the country “around the flag”…but not Trump. His Middle East conflict and inability to be honest with the America public are among the reasons millions are protesting him today.
Trump has put his own interests ahead of his countrymen and in the process has put his own political party in jeopardy with the voters as they head to the polls in November. Those who go to vote will exceed those who are marching & protesting today.
Can’t you just hear Willie Nelson singing “On the Road Again”.

Today we say thank you to the leadership and supporters of No Labels. Much hard work was done to gain ballot access in 21 states. Likely this was possible because polls have been telling us 70% of our fellow citizens prefer a presidential candidate other than...

History Repeats
President Biden will come before Congress tomorrow evening to address the nation. He will stand in front of the least productive Congress in decades. A similar environment faced by President Truman as he prepared to run for President in his own right. Maybe Biden...
Embarrassment
The United States Congress is an embarrassment. It’s time to move the focus from the 2024 presidential campaign to Congress. The news media, whether its TV talk shows, print, think tank pieces, or social media has forgotten Congress. Congress does not and cannot...

Florida Gov. DeSantis received 25,732 votes in two GOP primaries…before suspending his campaign. Based on his PAC spending 160 million dollars…that works out to a mere $6,217 spent for each vote he received. His failed campaign got him 9 delegates to the Republican...
