Empowering Ordinary Citizens to Make an Extraordinary Difference
The Obama trifecta of scandals including Benghazi, IRS targeting, and AP phone records is now joined by another potential scandal. The EPA is accused of ongoing “Sue and Settle” practices, which means that they work with left-leaning environmental groups who file suits against a federal agency and then the attorneys work out settlements … [Read more...]
Most Americans have no ideas it is coming. But it is just around the corner. It’s one of those technical changes that only wonks pay attention to, so few people realize how big this will be. In fact, it’s a serious crisis in the making. And unlike the Y2K scare in 1999, this crisis is a sure thing. The crisis is this: In January, many … [Read more...]
Years ago, Paul Harvey shared a commentary on contemporary America titled "If I were the Devil.” It was an inspiring way of illustrating the accelerating decline of societal morals and mores. With a tip of the hat to Paul Harvey, I’d like to shine a similar light on the decline of freedom in our time. If I wanted to destroy liberty in … [Read more...]
I'm excited for my new book, LeaderShift, and I think it’s incredibly important. As my co-author, business leader Orrin Woodward, put it: “Washington D.C. isn’t going to fix its problems anytime soon, so things are going to get worse in our politics and the economy until real leadership is found outside of government.” In short, … [Read more...]
Two weeks from now we’ll know. Once and for all, we’ll see where the nation is headed for the next four years. It may seem like a little thing, but it isn’t. If Congress caves in to the White House in the next two weeks, or to its perception of what the voters really want, we’re in for a marathon of decline. If not, if Congress … [Read more...]
Many Americans now feel that Washington is broken, that there is some unidentified, underlying problem with our nation that can't be fixed by elections. Voters put Democrats in power, then Republicans, but still the problems grow and Washington becomes more and more dysfunctional. We know something is wrong, but we aren't sure what to … [Read more...]
By Oliver DeMille In all the commentaries about the president’s 2013 State of the Union address and the responses by Marco Rubio and Rand Paul, one really stood out.[i] Democratic thought-leader Van Jones said it outright: “Marco Rubio is dangerous for Democrats.”[ii] Why? Because he gets emotional about the issues, and, as Jones … [Read more...]
Conservatives keep saying two things in the aftermath of losing the 2012 presidential election to Barack Obama. First, they talk a lot about the 2016 election, but there is no real front runner to be the Republican candidate. In fact, the few people who are mentioned as possible nominees aren’t drumming up much excitement. But the second … [Read more...]
The working middle class dreams of an actual meritocracy, where performance is rewarded regardless of race, creed, or color. The American ideals were birthed as a level playing field, rewarding people based upon their contributions, not their social status or credentials. The American Dream promised: Do a little, receive a little; do a lot, … [Read more...]
The future of America depends on the House of Representatives. If it goes along with the Obama Administration’s plans, we’ll see major changes in the next four years, and the move toward socialistic policies will be as momentous as the swing to the right under Ronald Reagan. The White House and Senate are committed to this course, and … [Read more...]
