Someone really needs to ask the media this question.  What do the anti-ICE protesters stand for?  The media covers these protesters and gives airtime to their complaints but no one defines what are the goals or underlying principles these individuals believe.   Let's look at some of the people ICE has arrested.   Hernan Cortes-Valencia is an illegal alien arrested by ICE.  He was convicted of sexual assault against a child, sexual assault-carnal abuse, and four DUIs.  Mr. Cortes-Valencia was ordered removed on December 1, 2016, so he had his due process. Sriudorn Phaivan was convicted of strongarm sodomy of a boy and a girl, nine counts of larceny, four counts of fraud, vehicle theft, two counts of drug possession, possession and receiving of stolen property, burglary and check forgery, and that's just a summary.  He has a final removal order from March 8, 2018. Gabriel Figueroa Gama was removed from the US in 2002 and came back.  After ...

 Previously we talked about how Democrats drive up costs, but what do they do to make things affordable?  Simple, they give away your tax dollars. Obamacare is a classic example.  Democrats rammed through a boondoggle of a program that has lived up to none of its promises, a key one of which was to reduce the cost of health insurance.  As insurance costs rose and rose, Democrats during the Biden Administration passed a law "temporarily" removing any cap on income levels for subsidies.  This meant that people making as much as $600,000 or more could get federal tax dollars to help pay for their Health Insurance purchased through the marketplace.* The temporary law ended this past December.  Democrats are seeking to extend the removal of the cap on subsidies for 10 more years at a cost to taxpayers of billions of dollars over that time.   That doesn't make health insurance more affordable, it just covers up the rising costs with taxpayer dollars....

In New York City, protesters lined up outside the Courthouse calling for the release of former Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, and his wife, and their return to Venezuela.  The outcry over the US arresting Nicolas Maduro in his Palace in Caracas demonstrates that these protesters don't understand (or perhaps don't care) what has really been occurring in Venezuela under Maduro, have been fed false information, and hate Trump so much that even if they had the facts they still wouldn't care about the people of Venezuela and would be calling for Maduro to be released. Being upset with how the Trump Administration sent troops and law enforcement personnel to Venezuela to bring Nicolas Maduro and his wife to the US for trial is understandable.  There are points both sides on this issue are debating and Congress will have its say on the subject as well.  However, calling for the release of Nicolas Maduro and his return to Venezuela would be the ultimate crime perpetrated on...

Democrats are the masters of "projection."  In the language of politics, projection means you take your own characteristic and "project" it onto your opponent.  Remember the kid's game of saying "I know you are, but what am I? when someone criticizes them.  There are so many examples of Democrats doing this but today we'll talk about Democrats and affordability. What are Democrats to do to win back the House and possibly the Senate in 2026?  Simple, apply the tactic of "projection" and blame Republicans and Trump for higher prices and claim they, the Democrats, are the party of "affordability." It's comical because when we evaluate which party made the cost of living less affordable on a national scale, it's the Democrats.  During the years of the Biden Administration, which we'll define as January 2021 to December 2024, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that prices for all items were 15.77% higher, or roughly 5% yea...
