Mr. President, May I Drive the Bulldozer?

In 2002, I became the first (and possibly last) Director of School Choice at the U.S. Department of Education. President George W. Bush had assembled a great team of reformers who sought to empower parents and children through expansion of school choice and a reduction in bureaucratic nonsense. What did I learn in those three and a half years? The agency should be bulldozed. It is a gigantic cesspool of apparatchiks who are sucking up money that should go to the students.

Unmasking the Charlatans

What is best about America? The ability to pursue your dreams is based upon equality of opportunity, not equality of outcomes. Charlatans embrace the latter and, in doing so, have wrought irreparable harm upon our Country.

An American Black Man’s Interpretation of the 14th Amendment

I seek to provide my common sense interpretation of the 14th Amendment. Needless to say, it has once again become the topic du jour in the news since the inauguration of the 47th President.

Leftist Political Exile

It's time for “bombs away” on the ideological agenda of the American progressive socialist left to force them into political exile.

Why the Upcoming Deportations Will Increase American Confidence in Elections

For those of us who work in the field of election integrity, it is our primary goal to ensure that Americans can trust their elections. States are responsible for safeguarding the votes of their own citizen residents and promoting trust that the votes are counted as cast.

The Legacy of Joe Biden…the Fate of the Democrats

Joe Biden departs the Oval Office as an elderly, angry bird. Americans want happy Warriors who will defend our Republic. We don't want zombies, angry birds, or socialists.

The Left’s Deranged Definition of Security

The outgoing Biden-Harris leftist administration has had a deranged definition of what security means. And what happened in New Orleans is an indicator of exactly that.

Who’s in Charge? Ain’t You?

The question for us as a nation, going into 2025, is whether or not we will ever again be caught asking who is in charge and looking around mindlessly pondering, “Ain't you?” It is going to truly be a Happy New Year.

When in Charge, Be in Charge

Fortis Fortuna Adiuvat! It's time for all conservatives, especially those holding elected positions, to be bold and govern according to the mandate delivered by the American people.

Les Miserables

I truly believe that the progressive socialist left in America is looking at a long-term political exile. The progressive socialist leftists in America are indeed Les Miserables, but Americans rejected their adaptation of Victor Hugo's novel.
