We totally condemn the rioting and destruction in DC in the name of politics. The few people responsible do not represent our American ideals or beliefs. It’s time for us to continue moving on. 2020–2024 were probably the worst years in the recent history of the United States. We lost a lot of productivity and ambition, and it’s time for us now to follow President Trump’s lead with his elite cabinet to continue figuring out what we can do together to Make America Great Again and Always. Politically, I believe the Conservative Party is as committed as ever to protecting our country and helping the world when we can, because helping them will help us at the same time. We need to continue working with the President to promote peace while protecting ourselves and the world from bad actors. I think President Trump has done an amazing job as a peacemaker while trying to minimize collateral damage. But sometimes that’s very difficult when human lives are at stake. The tariffs are a great example. Even though we (including the Democrats) and the President had a setback with the Supreme Court, it’s more of a bump in the road. I am a supply-side economist, and I do believe in free trade which to me means **fair** free trade. Trump’s tariffs achieve that and will continue in one form or another. This will benefit the whole world. We are already helping parts of the world move on and upward by following our lead and working together. We need to pull together and have a system that’s going to help us keep Congress and the Senate in 2026. If we can do that, it will minimize the damage that the liberals did. I wish them well as a very former Democrat, and I hope they don’t go too far in their agenda because America does not want socialism and they know it. They want to force it down our throats. They used the pandemic to gain more power and control over us. The pandemic definitely wasn’t handled perfectly, but it was handled as best we could at the time. We have moved on and learned from it. We need to minimize the impact of the far-left liberal agenda, as it’s going to be controlled by so many different unelected people with so many different agendas from other parts of the world. The good news is we can exploit the divisions within that system. I am a former Democrat but a conservative one. I believe in America. I believe in capitalism, but I also believe in an adequate social safety net where we take care of those who can’t take care of themselves. We can help get people off the streets. All of this could be done so easily if we all wanted to do it, but the liberal agenda does not want that to happen. They want to make these people (as well as illegals and minorities) victims so that they can keep racism on the agenda instead of helping fix the problem. If we could just work closer together. Tell me one thing in the big bill that the Democratic worker doesn’t benefit from. If the Democrats have a better plan, why don’t you show or tell us what that is? I think the common-sense Democratic voters are learning why you don’t. That’s why they helped elect President Trump. How do we fix and uplift what we’re doing with a positive attitude? This negative attitude that everything and the other party is bad is never going to help anybody. It’s never going to help our people. It’s not going to help individuals that need our help. It’s certainly not going to help our country. Whether you like Trump or not, he’s doing it without any help from the Democratic politicians and their TDS. Isn’t he the first president to have a psycho-somatic craziness named after him? The Dem leaders may not like how he’s doing it, but he’s doing a hell of a lot. I will guarantee you: think what our economy would be like by taking away the Trump Big Bill total savings that the Democratic leaders voted against. That alone would have raised the average family’s taxes and lowered their income by $5,000 or $8,000. So don’t believe everything you read or think you know. Do some research. That’s what I recommend. I don’t believe everything I hear or read. But more importantly, what are we going to do about it? Are we just going to let it happen, sit back, and watch? That’s not the America I grew up in. Hey, we are the best at who we are. Are we the best in the world at some things? I think we are. Who knows? If we do really well in America, I think we can be the greatest country one of the greatest countries on earth and by doing that, we can help the rest of the world. That’s what I want to see. I want to see us take care of ourselves first, though. It’s like an alcoholic he can’t help other people until he takes care of himself first. And being a recovering alcoholic myself, I understand that very well. I had to take care of myself before I could help others more. I am trying to help others in any way I can. Let’s take a positive attitude. Let’s take the shellacking, stop whining about it, and stop wasting our time with hate and TDS. I do think a lot of things were done wrong. I do think there was a lot of corruption involved and still is but it’s not going to do us any good to dwell on it. Let’s expose it and stop it. We need to move on and see what we can do positively for the future. We would love to hear from you. We would love you to write your own opinions and articles. We will post them whether we like them or not because Unpolitically Correct only means one thing: “Say what you think” with respect and with facts. Don’t send us a bunch of stuff without facts, please. You need to support your thoughts and your opinions, and it really isn’t much of a solution if you don’t have facts behind it. That’s why we believe in true debating so much where people come to the table with the facts. One thing I do know about liberals they are fabulous at one thing… talking about everything with no facts. They’re afraid of facts. Facts scare them to death because they rarely support their theories, and especially their agenda.

LET’S MOVE ON TOGETHER

The Senate's sixty-vote filibuster rule is strangling progress. Right now, Republicans control the chamber with a solid fifty-three to forty-seven majority. But every big bill border security, tax cuts, energy independence hits that sixty-vote wall. Democrats just need forty-one votes to block anything, and they're happy to do it.

We can't wait for moderates to "win" the midterms. History shows the president's party usually loses seats in off-years, and polls already hint Democrats are eyeing a comeback in November. If Republicans don't act fast, between now and then, nothing gets done. The filibuster protects the minority today, that's Democrats but it hurts the majority that's trying to deliver.

Eliminating it is simple: a majority vote changes the rules. No need for sixty votes to end debate. Pass the SAVE Act, fund the wall, cut regulations all by simple majority. Moderates in tough states can still vote their conscience on final passage, but the logjam ends.

The filibuster isn't sacred; it's a Senate rule, not in the Constitution. Democrats threatened to nuke it when they had power. Republicans should do it now while they can. Govern boldly, get results, and let voters decide in November. If we hesitate, we'll regret it when the gavel changes hands.
