Far-left Democrats have taken over party

I am looking at and listening at what’s going on in the greatest country in the world, I can’t believe what I am seeing and hearing. The Republicans are trying everything they can to straighten out our country, but the Democrat’s two-party system is doing everything they can to destroy America. Does the Schumer shut down ring a bell? 43 days holding the U.S. hostage by the Democrats for nothing. I grew up in a Democratic household in the 50s, 60s and 70s. My parents were moderate Democrats their whole lives. There are millions of moderate Democrats across the U.S. like my ...

Lawmakers should stop Qatar base in US

I am writing to express my profound alarm over the proposal to let Qatar build and operate an air force base on American soil. This isn’t a simple diplomatic arrangement; it’s an unprecedented erosion of our national sovereignty and security. Permitting a foreign nation to establish its own military installation on our soil is a radical departure from policy. An independent foreign base is a sovereign foothold, not a joint training facility under U.S. command. It raises critical questions of legal authority and creates an unacceptable risk to American military technology and ...

GOP needs to care about suffering

Everyone wants what’s best for themselves and their families. We try to elect candidates who will work to make our lives better. That’s why it’s so hard to understand the greed and cruelty of Trump and elected Republicans focused only on their own self-interests while causing tremendous suffering for so many Americans. The Republican “Big Beautiful Bill” extends another huge tax break for Trump and his fellow billionaires, ballooning our national debt by trillions. It causes children to go hungry withholding SNAP food assistance and closes rural hospitals. ACA health ...

It’s OK not to be OK with this

I am a proud American who has watched a number of happenings since January 2025. I have been surprised and appalled. Abrupt firing of federal employees, and the elimination of important departments. Withholding funds to states when the monies have already been allocated. Republicans in the House not showing up for work for over six weeks and still getting paid. Withholding food benefits from Americans when there are contingent funds available. Not paying Federal workers, expecting them to show up for work for over six weeks. Tearing down a part of our White House without proper ...

Who is the real threat to democracy?

U.S. citizens voted Trump in as our 47th President, but the Democrats constantly say that the citizens don’t want Trump and the Republican agenda. They have fought Trump by hook or crook for over 10 years, starting with the Hillary Clinton influenced “Russian Collusion” hoax with the help of the DOJ, FBI, CIA and the main media that ran with it. We had the FBI and the 50+ signatures who claimed that Hunter Biden’s laptop was Russian disinformation. During Biden’s reign, his administration had the Epstein files and did nothing with them. If there was any Trump dirt in them, ...

US leads in medical bankruptcies

Another first for America First: We lead the world in medical bankruptcies, with 66.5 % of our population being affected. Way behind, at 19% is Canada, followed by Australia at 10% and the United Kingdom at a mere 8.2%. Thanks to MAGA’s One Big Beautiful Bill, look for this country’s lead to grow exponentially, which means “in a way that becomes quicker and quicker as something that increases becomes larger.” Jack Troy Huntingdon
