  • White supremacy replaces Russian collusion

    Pete Riehm, Guest Writer|Aug 15, 2019

    After perpetuating a preposterous hoax for over two years, the corrupt cabal of Federal Bureaucrats, Democrats, and media determined to topple President Trump have found a new grotesque lie. The accusation that Trump colluded with Russia to steal the presidency has been a ridiculous ruse since its inception. Despite the incessant speculative whining of House Democrats, everyone knows Trump never colluded with Russians. The Mueller Report did not end it, but his pathetic Congressional testimony coupled with absurd Democrat antics have finally...

  • Trump ends America's racist caste system

    Pete Riehm, Guest Writer|Aug 8, 2019

    Many Americans are probably unfamiliar with a “caste system.” Some may recall from long forgotten Social Studies courses that south Asian societies particularly Hindus subscribed to and some still do to a caste system. A caste system is the vertical stratification of society where mobility between castes is virtually impossible. It can get quite complicated, but in essence it’s a rigid occupational hereditary society. Whatever your parents’ occupation is, you are mandated to follow. Good for the Brahmins at the top, but pretty miserab...

  • Let Democrats drag that dead horse

    Pete Riehm, Guest Writer|Aug 1, 2019

    After more than two and half years of Russian collusion frenzy, Democrat fervor for this ridiculous hoax is unlikely to fade. But if you understand Democrats, their insane perseverance is predictable. This whole fiasco was never about Russian interference in our elections or Russian collusion to steal the 2016 election. It always was and still is to disrupt, paralyze, and if possible topple the presidency of Donald Trump. ​Democrats, “never Trump“ Republicans, and power mad federal bureaucrats still reject Trump and resent his effective effor...

  • Trojan horsewomen of color

    Pete Riehm, Guest Writer|Jul 25, 2019

    Dubbed “the squad,” four freshmen Democrat Congresswomen have seized the national spotlight and made quite a splash in Congress. Their elections are remarkable firsts. Representatives Ilhan Omar (MN) and Rashida Tlaib (MI) are the first Muslim women to be elected to Congress. Representative Ayanna Pressley (MA) is the first black woman elected to Congress from Massachusetts. And young upstart, Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (NY) won an incredible upset to become the youngest member currently serving in Congress. While these achievement...

  • When did sports become partisan?

    Pete Riehm, Guest Writer|Jul 18, 2019

    In our hyper politicized society, there seems to be no respite from partisan politics anymore; it has invaded every faucet of daily life from the car you drive to the coffee you drink. The news is bluntly liberal and sometimes conservative. Education has been subsumed by political correctness. It’s difficult to just enjoy music because at any concert you will very likely endure a vitriolic political rant. Sports seemed to be the last sanctuary, but now even athletic competition is succumbing to pointed partisanship. Politics has always been s...

  • The census & citizenship

    Pete Riehm, Guest Writer|Jul 11, 2019

    Determining citizenship in a census of the United States of America would seem intuitively appropriate and logical. Most Americans probably assume the census is supposed to count all citizens to determine representation in Congress. In part the answer is yes, but there is more to it than just that. Last included in the 1950 census, the Trump Administration is trying to include the citizenship question again which has precipitated several lawsuits alleging the citizenship question is intended to suppress the count of non-citizens and thereby...

  • Is freedom fading from glory?

    Pete Riehm, Guest Writer|Jul 4, 2019

    The United States of America is 243 years old this Independence Day. For almost two and half centuries, this great nation has guaranteed the freedom Americans enjoy and too often take for granted. We are quick to proclaim and celebrate our freedom. We demand it and claim we will even defend it, but exactly what are we demanding these days? What do modern Americans think freedom is? The concept of freedom is immutable; it never changes. In sheer genius, our founders captured the essence of freedom in the Declaration of Independence in one...

  • California moving to silence clergy

    Pete Riehm, Guest Writer|Jun 27, 2019

    For decades after WWII, the Golden State led the country in innovation, prosperity, and progress toward the good life. California set the pace for everything and everyone wanted to go to California. But sadly affluence and apathy allowed absurdity to overtake the culture. The liberal notion that everything that feels good is good took hold because it seemed there were no consequences for overindulgence or decadent destructive behavior. The glitz and glamour of Hollywood and Silicon Valley hid the ugly truth. With over one fifth of America’s h...

  • Russian collusion supplants American collegiality

    Pete Riehm, Guest Writer|Jun 20, 2019

    Rough and tumble, partisan politics have always been pointed. Cut throat campaigning and bruising elections are common; and passionate philosophical and policy debates are standard fare for American politics. So fierce competition in politics is expected and actually healthy. Political issues should be intensely deliberated, so ideas can be thoroughly vetted before implementation. Thereby our leaders hopefully come to the correct decision. That political intensity has served America well for most of our history because political opponents...

  • Where have all the fathers gone?

    Pete Riehm, Guest Writer|Jun 13, 2019

    Despite technological conveniences and innovations, modern society is bizarrely skidding toward moral chaos and civil collapse. Our prosperity enhances, excuses, and even masks our cultural decay. We may enjoy unparalleled creature comforts and be well fed, but more and more Americans are miserable. Instead of advancing the human experience, we are abandoning traditional timeless family values resulting in increased anxiety, depression, discontentment, and general unhappiness. Broken families and absent fathers are certainly large factors, but...

  • A controversial waste

    Pete Riehm, Guest Writer|Jun 6, 2019

    After almost two years of intense yet insipid national turmoil, the Special Counsel investigating the 2016 Presidential Election finally completed and submitted their report. Due to previous indictments of several Russians, we knew the Special Counsel believed Russians did attempt to interfere in our political process. Hardly an earth shattering revelation, does anyone doubt the Russians are always meddling in our affairs? Or for that matter, the Chinese? The Iranians? Or any of our enemies? But leftists across politics and throughout the...

  • Delusion in journalism's dying ivory towers

    Pete Riehm, Guest Writer|May 30, 2019

    The past few years “Fake News” real and imagined has become so prevalent that almost every news item is treated with distinct suspicion. Various polls show about 60-70% of the public considers the media highly biased or particularly untrustworthy. Some reports like much of the Russia hoax reporting are downright false, but most of the problem is intense bias where so called journalists simply present the facts in misleading context. To illustrate: if President Trump walked across the Potomac River, the mainstream media headlines would be “Tr...

  • Securing our liberty

    Pete Riehm, Guest Writer|May 23, 2019

    Our brilliant Constitution is the foundation of our beloved republic. Its poetic preamble lays out the reasons for our noble purpose. Although this seminal document is integral and vital to our very freedom, we tend to take it for granted and seldom ponder its incredible significance and serious obligations for every citizen. Our politicians are charged to uphold the Constitution, but thankfully our military service members take the charge to protect our Constitution “against all enemies foreign and domestic” as a solemn life or death dut...

  • Tyranny of the tech state

    Pete Riehm, Guest Writer|May 16, 2019

    With constant encroachments on our liberty and privacy for security and persistent prosecutorial misconduct, concerns about a coming police state are quite valid. However, the greater growing threat is the tech state because it’s incremental, stealthy, and it’s already here! High tech has produced many wonderful conveniences and innovations, but totally dominated by a few monopolies high tech has garnered almost unlimited power to place whatever limits it likes on its customers. Amazon, Google, and Facebook have become so dominant in their sph...

  • Mamas don't let your babies grow up to be killed

    Pete Riehm, Guest Writer|May 9, 2019

    Willie Nelson warned Mamas to not let their babies grow to be cowboys because it was a hard lonely life. Alabama Representative John Rogers (D-Birmingham) tells Mama’s to not let their babies grow up at all or more precisely don’t let them even be born because life without nanny state government benefits isn’t worth living. Rogers shocked the nation when he said “kill them now or kill them later!” Rogers made his incredibly callous comments in a floor debate to oppose the current abortion ban bill now passed by the Alabama House and referred...

  • Democrat's race to the bottom

    Pete Riehm, Guest Writer|May 2, 2019

    Already flailing about wildly for months, Democrats are frantically grasping at anything and everything to find a winning message for 2020. The only Democrat common denominator is abject rabid hatred for President Trump. They desperately want to believe destroying Trump is all they need to win the White House, but enough of them have an eerie notion that the media echo chamber cheering them on may not actually be based in reality. Despite relentless smears, ceaseless false accusations, and even attempts to remove him, Trump remains popular and...

  • The flame of faith is flickering

    Pete Riehm, Guest Writer|Apr 25, 2019

    Gazing into a fire can be hypnotic. And so the world was captivated watching the magnificent Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris burning live on TV. It was a surreal spectacle. Built in 1160, Notre Dame has been an architectural marvel and an icon of Christian majesty for almost 900 years. It has always been with us. No one living knows life without it or without the vibrant Christian faith that built western civilization. To see this historic landmark gravely threatened was disturbing and sobering. There is an old adage that no one wants to drink...

  • The TEA party at ten years

    Pete Riehm, Guest Writer|Apr 18, 2019

    It’s been ten years since TEA Parties swept the nation. With the credit bubble burst and the sub-prime mortgage industry collapsing, the federal government was already panicking in 2008. Big government Republicans and Democrats came together to craft a monstrous bailout package. As if on cue, President Obama was elected promising to “fundamentally transform America!” And Obama’s vision for America was socialism, so implementing an almost $1 Trillion stimulus package in his first days was a perfect storm and dream come true for America...

  • An unavoidable truth gets 'unplanned' awakening

    Pete Riehm, Guest Writer|Apr 11, 2019

    Despite the liberal media’s best efforts, the pro-life movie, “Unplanned,” had a surprisingly successful opening weekend coming in #4 behind big budget block buster films. From the team that produced “God’s not dead,” Cary Solomon and Chuck Konzelman wrote and directed this intensely compelling movie about the true story of a Planned Parenthood abortion clinic director who has a gruesome heart wrenching epiphany to become an ardent pro-life activist. This is a powerful movie liberals do NOT want anyone to see. Because if anyone ever actual...

  • Deceivers not dissuaded

    Pete Riehm, Guest Writer|Apr 4, 2019

    Finally! After two long years of high drama, Robert Mueller completed and delivered the Special Counsel’s report on Russian Interference in the 2016 Presidential Election. Starting with his appointment, Democrats and media lectured the nation on his impeccable integrity and sterling reputation – Robert Mueller is the fairest man in the land. But Republicans were wary because Mueller was fired FBI Director James Comey’s pal and he loaded the Special Counsel with Trump hating rabid Democrats. How could Trump possibly get a fair shake?! Surpr...

  • Electoral College is essential to republic

    Pete Riehm, Guest Writer|Mar 28, 2019

    Does anyone think the phony Native American Senator Elizabeth Warren is smarter than our founding fathers? For that matter, does anyone think any politicians living today are smarter or have more integrity than the brilliant minds that drafted our Constitution?! A literal phenomenon, the United States of America is indisputably the most equitable, free, and prosperous nation in all of human history. This great enduring republic is proof of our founders’ genius, so why does anyone give credence to the partisan hacks peddling electoral bedlam? Th...

  • Mourn the innocent; reject radicals

    Pete Riehm, Guest Writer|Mar 21, 2019

    The world was stunned by the savage senseless attacks on two Mosques in Christchurch, New Zealand. With over 50 slaughtered and scores wounded, the cruel carnage shocked average people around the planet who were repulsed by the violence and deeply saddened by the incredible loss of innocent lives. In times of catastrophe, affiliation matters not. The victims were children, the elderly, families; they were human beings cut down by a mad man. This is when our humanity should transcend any differences for God created everyone. We can disagree on p...

  • Israel is not the target

    Pete Riehm, Guest Writer|Mar 14, 2019

    Newly elected freshman Democrats in the House of Representatives are causing substantial consternation for the Democrat Party particularly the leadership. Drifting left for decades, Democrats lurched left under President Obama, but following the lead of an unlikely barmaid from the Bronx, Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, they have dropped all pretenses. The Democrat Party has become a radical hard left movement; they are now unabashed avowed socialists. ​While liberals and particularly millennials believe socialism has finally become f...

  • The seduction of socialism

    Pete Riehm, Guest Writer|Mar 7, 2019

    Democrats, liberals, progressives, or however one characterizes leftists have been flirting if not having a downright love affair with socialism for more than a century. Until recently, socialism was generally considered taboo in America. We are a free nation of fiercely independent people who intensely cherish their liberty. So the thought of dependence on anyone was repulsive. Americans traditionally claimed the absolute right to work and worship as they choose. Perhaps not so much anymore. ​It has been building the past few decades, but s...

  • America is not a racist nation!

    Pete Riehm, Guest Writer|Feb 28, 2019

    Americans are fiercely independent and will fight to preserve our cherished freedoms, but they are also the kindest most generous and genuine people on the planet. We constantly send private and public aid to people of every ethnic and racial background in every corner of the world. Every natural disaster or war, Americans are there to provide comfort, food, or protection. We never pause to wonder who, but only rush to help anyone in need. Racism certainly exists; it always has and always will. America has had dark regrettable chapters in our...
