I Could Be Wrong.

    The Obama Obsession: Why Trump’s "Peace" Record Is a Dangerous Sham Let us cut through the rally chants, the internet memes, and the cable news talking points. Let us talk about cold, hard facts, common sense, and the rule of law. For years now, Donald Trump has aired a constant, bitter grievance: that he was robbed of a Nobel Peace Prize, and that Barack Obama was handed one for "doing nothing." To hear his loyalists tell it, Trump is the greatest anti-interventionist dealmaker in modern history, while the global establishment conspired to keep him from getting his due. It is a neat sales pitch. But when you look at the scoreboard, the "peace president" myth completely implodes. Trump’s diplomatic approach was not peacemaking—it was a volatile mix of personal vanity, unilateral violence, and blatant disregard for international law. From outside-international-law drone strikes blowing up boats in our own hemisphere, to dismantling nuclear guardrai...

  He Has Really Cost Us   We all want America to win. We want solid jobs, wages that actually keep up with groceries, and towns that aren’t hollowed out while Wall Street throws a party.   If you listen to Donald Trump, he fixed it all overnight. The story goes: our country was completely in the toilet; he stepped in, waved a magic wand, and built the "greatest economy in the history of the world." He will tell you that he was the only one who could do this.    It’s a great story, but is it true? If a mechanic tells you your truck is good as new when he just slapped fresh paint over a cracked engine block, you aren’t doing yourself any favors by believing him.   At some point, you must stop listening to the stories and look at the receipts. Not the cable news spin, not the campaign rallies, just the cold, hard numbers from our own government.   Here are just four examples of what really went down. Myth 1: "I Built the Whole Economy from Scrat...

  The Great Betrayal: How the Right Fell in Love with Unchecked Government Power While Violent Predators Walk Free   I like to think that most Americans who believe in law-and-order hold to a few simple, common-sense truths: The Constitution is supreme. If you commit a violent crime against an innocent person, you belong behind bars. The federal government should never have unchecked, arbitrary power to throw people into cages without a real trial. For nearly a century, conservatives warned the nation about the deadly danger of the "Administrative State" —the unelected federal bureaucracy, the "Deep State," the agencies that operate outside the Constitution. Thinkers, talk-radio hosts, and constitutionalists gave fiery speeches warning us: “If you let federal agencies bypass real courts, if you let bureaucrats act as investigator, prosecutor, and judge without a jury of your peers, you are handing Washington the keys t...

  Actions Talk I keep hearing that we should judge Donald Trump by his actions, not his words. For once, I completely agree. In fact, I think that's exactly what every voter should have done before voting for him. What frustrates me is how many people act surprised by what they are seeing today. The chaos. The division. The constant drama. The attacks on institutions. The endless lawsuits. The legal troubles. The loyalty tests. The endless excuses. By many, those were completely ignored. Why are people surprised?   Donald Trump didn't arrive in 2016 as a mystery. He came with decades of public behavior. Americans watched him operate for years. We saw how he treated critics. We saw how he treated women. We saw the accusations of sexual abuse. We saw how he treated minorities. We saw how he handled business disputes. We saw how he responded when things didn't go his way. The warning labels were not hidden. They sat out in the open. The greatest predictor of future behav...

We are being Tracked I’m old enough to remember when freedom felt simple. You lived your life, minded your business, and unless you broke the law, the government didn’t have any reason to follow you around. That was the America we were taught to believe in — the America the Founders fought for, the America generations of us defended, the America we thought we still had. But somewhere along the way, while we were busy arguing about Washington, something else happened. Something quieter. Something bigger. Something the Founders never saw coming. Every time I drive across the Sanibel Causeway or the Cape Coral Bridge, a camera snaps a picture of my license plate. It logs the time, the date, the direction, the frequency. It builds a pattern. And here’s the part that should make every freedom‑loving American stop and think: I’m not being tracked by the government. I’m being tracked by corporations. That’s the shift nobody talks about. That’s the danger nobody wants to admit. That’s the...
