The campaigns of Democrats seeking to challenge President Donald Trump in November 2020 seem to be on a never-ending quest to see which one can implode in the most spectacular fashion. We’ve documented the collapse of Representatives Eric Swalwell and Robert Francis O’Rourke, as well as predicted the demise of …

As attacks continue upon our rights as Americans to keep and bear arms, it looks as if virtually no representatives, save a handful, are willing stand against those attacks and remove from office those doing the attacking. We have a rich history of keeping and bearing arms in this country …
