DC politics has gone mad. Americans are now treated to a 24/7 freak show of government dysfunction, charges and countercharges, midnight tweets, and a myriad of other forms of dystopian political theatre. Politics has become toxic. The professional pundits and their assembled panelists profess their disgust at the toxicity — and then gleefully throw another log on the fire. Is there any way for the American people to intervene? Across the country, in inner cities, suburbs, and in rural area

We should have known this hysteria would come after election night. All one needs to do is look at the District of Columbia voting results to understand that President's Trump's campaign promise to Drain The Swamp would rouse every sordid creature from the depths of D.C.. The backbone of the Russian hysteria story has been built exclusively on two sources, both of which have been debunked and characterized as false. The substance of this hysteria has been parroted by the mainstream media (MSM

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AsvVgf63Op4 Video Credit: New York Times Today’s horrific events in Washington D.C., crystalize just how sick the swamp has become. The divisive rhetoric from our media, both social and over-the-air is infiltrating other areas of society. A comedian beheads the president, an off-broadway play depicts a scene where he is fatally stabbed. Violence begets more violence. And the President isn’t helping matters either. His use of twitter, poking fun at the media an

Millions of New Jersey voters were faced with a difficult decision Tuesday: Join a party or don't vote at all. That’s because the first stage of New Jersey’s taxpayer-funded and publicly-administered elections are open to Republicans and Democrats only. So, for a plurality of New Jersey voters who choose not to join either party -- too bad. New Jersey held its 2017 primary election on Tuesday, June 6.  Lt. Governor and Secretary of State Kim Guadagno easily won the Republican nomination for go

US Rep. Tulsi Gabbard continues to fight for marijuana decriminalization. She shared an article from the American Legion Monday, which makes the case for medical marijuana for wounded vets. Gabbard says the American Legion is right and her bill, HR 1227, "would help veterans get the treatment they need." https://twitter.com/TulsiGabbard/status/871760769221894145 Medical marijuana is still illegal in the US, though several states (29 states and DC) have laws on the books that legalize it withi

Some of you have been following the Seth Rich death investigation at arms length. Some call it a crazy conspiracy, some say it could be the most important political story of a generation. Others have no idea what I’m talking about, yet. Here’s the elevator summary: Seth Rich was 27 years old and worked for Bernie Sanders and the Democratic National Committees. On July 10, 2016, Rich was fatally shot about a block from his home in the Bloomingdale neighborhood of Washington, D.C, just days befo

This week host T.J. O’Hara is joined by Scot Faulkner. As the first Chief Administrator of the U.S. House of Representatives, Scot discussed his expertise in applying private sector practices to the federal government in the 1990s, in order to “do more with less." The two discuss D.C.’s corruption during the 90s, the $2.4 trillion in current federal residue funds, the bureaucracy of the federal departments, the failure of diplomatic elite at American Embassies abroad, and more! Scot Faulkner e

Now comes the hard part. The house passing health care repeal and replace legislation is a significant short-term win for President Trump, but it won’t mean anything lest he can wrangle the Senate’s support. And that won’t be easy. Clearly the bill is going to be put through the ringer in the Senate, as it should, and it will likely undergo significant changes and modifications before and if it is enacted into law, but make no mistake, this was an important political step for Washington, D.C.,

Atlanta, Georgia – In three counties just north of Atlanta, voters are heading to the polls for a special election Tuesday. The nationally watched election is getting enormous attention as Democrats are looking for a salve to heal their wounds from the November election. Although no Democrat has taken the 6th Congressional District since 1979 when Newt Gingrich took office for 10 consecutive terms, there is a sense of optimism from the left, as President Donald Trump’s 48% from this district in
