Representative Mike Kelly questioned Acting IRS Commisioner Steve Miller today and I thought he did a great job of summing up how many Americans feel about the IRS targeting of conservative groups. Hearing about what some of the groups and individuals went through was shocking. Many excellent questions were asked today, but unfortunately too many [...]

There are a great many issues that concern Americans today. Two in particular require immediate Congressional attention. Please contact your members of Congress about these issues today: 1. Benghazi – We need a full investigation by a special panel. What were the events preceding the attack? What has been done to find the terrorists responsible? [...]
Conservative groups have been the target of IRS investigations for several years. It wasn’t just one group under the scrutiny of the IRS microscope, and it wasn’t just tax information they were seeking. The IRS inappropriately asked for donor lists of the targeted groups. One can only imagine how that information could be used. Alan [...]
Americans have been seeking answers about what happened in Benghazi on September 11th when Ambassador Christopher Stevens, Navy Seals Tyrone Woods and Glen Doherty, and state department employee Sean Smith all lost their lives in the service of their country. Their families and many other Americans want to know important details such as, who was [...]
Many of us were brought up with respect for good old “common sense,” but today common sense takes on a whole new meaning. What is common sense to you may be the complete opposite of what is common sense to someone else. The lack of understanding can no longer be explained as just a generation [...]
Karen Bracken does a great job explaining Common Core in this YouTube video. She addresses many of the questions that people have been asking about the standards.

The Marketplace Fairness Act may sound fair on paper, but is it really fair to small businesses who may not be able to handle the changes in the way taxes are collected? Does it undermine the Commerce Clause? Who would really benefit if the Marketplace Fairness Act passes? There’s a lot to consider and Congress [...]
Many of us wonder why many people seem to reject American exceptionalism. They vote as if America is to blame for all the ills of the world and needs a radical transformation. They believe that everything that has worked well for years needs to be changed to reflect their view of American history. “Educators” who [...]
We have been hearing a lot about Common Core, a educational curriculum which has been adopted by 46 states including New Jersey. Common Core is a K-12 curriculum for both English and Mathematics. It was developed by an organization called Achieve and the National Governors Association, both recipients of funds from the Gates Foundation. What [...]
Our deepest condolences go out to those who lost family members today in Boston and our thoughts and prayers are with them and those who were injured. Once again innocent citizens have been attacked on our shores and our nation grieves.
There is always something new happening in education, and it’s difficult keeping up with what’s going on in our schools.

Children are not property and they are not the responsibility of the collective! Follow the link from Red State and listen carefully to what Professor Melissa Harris-Perry of Tulane says and then compare it to the quote from Margaret Thatcher. What a profound difference. Professor Harris-Perry states that, “We have never invested as much in [...]
Many Americans ignored the Cyprus bank crisis because it didn’t happen here. They also believe that nothing like that could ever happen here. But is that really true? According to Matt Shipley’s, “American’s Cyprus,” something worse happened in 1933 right here in America. We experienced a crisis similar to the Cyprus banking crisis during F.D.R.’s [...]
I’ve often enjoyed reading magazine articles that list the top ten places in the United States to retire, work, vacation, shop etc., but I don’t recall seeing a list that ranks the states on their level of freedom. The Mercatus Center, a university-based research center, ranks the fifty states on a combination of personal and [...]
