RNC Stop the Madness

When will Republicans stop walking into ambushes during political debates? The RNC should impose a two-year ban on CBS and ABC from hosting debates because of the moderators' conduct in the last two debates. 

The 'United' Nations?

Russa, a UN member, invades Ukraine, another UN member, and the UN does nothing.

Iran, a UN, member attacks Israel, another UN member, and the UN does nothing.

Time for the US to pull out of the UN.

MFR’s First Sports-Related Post

Nick Sirianni, coach of the Philadelphia Eagles, expressed pride in his team's "resilience", emphasizing the importance of a “purpose mindset” over a “victim mindset.” After hearing these remarks, I felt the need to share my thoughts.

First, coaches who rely on inspirational platitudes without a deep understanding of the game—think Ted Lasso—only succeed in fictional settings.

Second, the “adversity” they faced stemmed from their own poor performance, not from real challenges like a recovering from a natural disaster or beating cancer. They dealt with issues like interceptions, fumbles, missed tackles, and questionable play calling.

Third, these players earn significant salaries to play a game that many enjoy for fun. If you’re being paid millions, you better find a way to overcome self-inflicted adversity!

Lastly, any coach who uses the word “awesome” should be immediately fired.

Are Sanctuary Cities Guilty of Accessary After the Fact?

18 U.S.C. § 3 - Accessory After the Fact:

“Whoever, knowing that an offense against the United States has been committed, receives, relieves, comforts or assists the offender in order to hinder or prevent his apprehension, trial or punishment, is an accessory after the fact.

Except as otherwise expressly provided by any Act of Congress, an accessory after the fact shall be imprisoned not more than one-half the maximum term of imprisonment or (notwithstanding section 3571) fined not more than one-half the maximum fine prescribed for the punishment of the principal, or both; or if the principal is punishable by life imprisonment or death, the accessory shall be imprisoned not more than 15 years.”

If you or I were harboring and feeding someone we knew had committed a crime and didn't report them to the proper authorities, we would be imprisoned.

Why are sanctuary cities, which house individuals in jails, provide them with food, and then release them without notifying immigration authorities for trial and punishment, not considered in violation of this federal law?

Price Gouging is a Dangerous Claim in the Hands of the Democrats

Kamala Harris is blaming corporations for rising prices to divert attention from the real issue: inflation driven by the spending policies of the Biden/Harris administration. This tactic goes beyond mere political maneuvering. The Democrats have a history of repurposing laws originally intended for good into tools for advancing their own political agendas.

There are existing laws against price gouging, which aim to prevent excessive pricing during emergencies or significant market disruptions. However, the current inflation is largely a result of policies from the Biden/Harris administration, not an actual emergency or market disruption.

Moreover, there is no clear, universal standard for what constitutes price gouging, allowing the government to selectively target businesses. Most certainly, only those corporations that don’t kowtow to the government will be targeted. If this practice becomes standard, it could be used by future administrations—Republicans included—to pursue their own agendas. Even the mere threat of government action will coerce businesses into doing the government’s bidding.

Additionally, this approach could be a precursor to implementing price controls, which would undermine free-market capitalism as we know it, all because the current administration mishandled public funds.

Butter Carving et al.

Let’s examine how the liberal media is covering Tim Walz, the man interviewing for the country’s (and arguably the world’s) second most important job. Here’s a brief overview: “a straight, white guy from the Midwest”; “Coach Walz”; “wholesome, happy warrior persona”; “aggressively ‘normal’”; “America’s dad, football coach, and teacher who’s cool without trying”; “pretty bald”; “Midwestern Democrat who enjoys joking around”; “Fun Midwestern Dad”; “He ice fishes, hunts, and does butter carving.”

The media’s primary role in our democracy is to provide the public with the information needed to make informed choices about who leads our country. Yet, this is the kind of reporting we receive.

Imagine you’re hiring a financial advisor and are told to trust someone with your life savings because they’re a former football coach and pheasant hunter. Or consider choosing a surgeon for your child and being told that the surgeon has a charming Midwestern charm.

It’s disheartening that many people vote for politicians based on whether they’d enjoy having a beer with them, a criterion you wouldn’t use to hire a plumber.

Tim Walz's Real National Guard Controversy

Veterans have accused Tim Walz of exaggerating his military career and abandoning his National Guard battalion ahead of his unit’s 2005 deployment to Iraq.

However, I believe the more significant issue is that a person who touts his National Guard service for political purposes disrespected his unit and every other National Guard unit across the country when he called them “19-year-old cooks”.

He should be held accountable for that comment.
