I find it quite ironic, that leftist activist social justice warriors are so adamant when it comes to removing statues or memorials of Confederate Generals, or Confederate flags, while Planned Parenthood advocates for straight up genocide with blatant discriminatory racial implications. Margaret Sanger (1879-1966), founded the Birth Control League that was the precursor to […]
Even President Trump’s diehard supporters, are quick to give up and start to lose hope when POTUS does something that they do not agree with or something that appears to go against campaign promises or seems like it will have an adverse effect on the country as a whole. I don’t know why people […]
There are a couple of recent happenings that I would like to highlight here. First of all, the sight of Pelosi and Schumer trying so hard to remain relevant, is amusing to say the least. Pelosi is trying to talk tough, so that her supporters in congress, and more importantly the electorate, do not get […]
Many people take things at face value, and refuse to think outside the box. Conformity provides comfort to those that don’t like to go against the grain, or rock the boat. It is also a comfortable position for many because it creates plausible deniability when dealing with uncomfortable subjects and issues. Ignorance is bliss, but […]
Just a few years ago we saw a push for this Islamic caliphate, as ISIS started to gain control of strategic locations in a handful of Middle Eastern countries. Cities like Mosul were taken over, due to the vast resources that they had to offer. This included manufacturing and natural resources. ISIS was systematically going […]
Control theory is a school of thought that has been used in the field of criminology for the better part of a century. This theory is based on the idea that conformity cannot be taken for granted, thus crime and delinquency that occurs within an area or community, should be expected if social controls […]
Preparing a local community or state for the aftermath of a terror attack is unthinkable and difficult to do when one is cognizant of the enormity of such an event, and how it changes the American way of life in the years following. It is something that no one […]
What does one do when almost half of voting age citizens, condone lawlessness and encourages more of it on a daily basis? This is what is happening in America today. The US Constitution is the supreme law of the land, but we have one of two major political parties that encourages not only […]
Not sure what part of “temporary” or “no judicial review” US District Court Judge Edward Chen doesn’t understand.

Cápsulas Informativas Constitucionales follows the tradition of informing citizens about the country’s founding documents in their native languages. In 1787, one third of Pennsylvania’s residents were German speakers. Accordingly, of the 4500 copies of the proposed Constitution that legislature ordered, 1500 were in German. Everyone understands important ideas best in their native language, and Cápsulas Informativas Constitucionales recognizes the importance of making available America's First Principles to 36,000,000 Americans.
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is just the beginning! Communists rising!
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, also referred to as AOC by some media outlets, has unveiled her Green New Deal and its details. This whole thing is a progressive/socialist nightmare.
