President Trump correctly identified the issues at bar in 2020 as the American dream versus the socialist nightmare. Democrats are already helping President Trump put their socialism on trial by embracing socialist candidates,  and by ratcheting-up the socialist rhetoric. It is up to us conservatives to make sure Trump obtains the conviction.

Inflation-adjusted disposable income rose 4.2 percent, last quarter, and America’s working families are seeing a continued gain in their disposable income, and thus a continued improvement in their quality of life. This is not only good news for America’s working families, it is good political news for President Trump, which is probably why it was buried by the establishment news media.

Our friend David Franke shares President Donald Trump's report card for a class in Political Performance 101—an elective in both the theater/performance art department and the political science department of Franke University. Understood in this way, Prof. Franke gave President Trump a grade of A+.

The American workers Donald Trump promised to fight for are the real winners of the Trump economic boom. Good news for Americans is death to the Democrat Party, and that is why in their coverage of President Trump’s State of the Union message most of the establishment media could not get beyond the shenanigans of the white-clad Democratic congresswomen.

Why would a poor, already welfare-dependent city want to import more poor, welfare-dependent immigrants from foreign countries? It will come as no surprise that joining the City of Baltimore in the suit is Democracy Forward, a Soros aligned organization that has sued the Trump administration on multiple occasions.

About 56 percent of households headed by foreign refugees who arrived in the U.S. between 2011 and 2015 are using taxpayer-funded food stamps. President Trump’s administration has historically reduced the annual inflow of foreign refugees. Under Trump’s “America First” agenda, the U.S. is on pace to accept less than 23,000 refugees for the Fiscal Year 2018. This would be the lowest yearly refugee admission in three decades.

Vast numbers of Sudanese immigrants are on welfare and Sudan is so violent that the U.S. Embassy requires U.S. government personnel in Sudan to use armored vehicles for all travel, yet the country was inexplicably taken off the travel ban list.

Since 2015 federal welfare spending has outpaced defense spending. President Trump’s workfare proposal demonstrates that he is busy doing what is important for Americans. Congress should join him.

Vouchers and zip codes don't pull people out of poverty, income does. Financial success requires attitude, skills, and opportunity. Today, HUD and the administration are in the position to work with Congress to provide all three.

The false narrative being spread to the Catholic faithful that capitalism is wrong is the fault of the leadership of the Catholic Church that has increasingly become a left-leaning ideological mouthpiece instead of fulfilling its role of providing spiritual guidance consistent with the Bible.

Obama rules guiding who can get food stamps favor households with illegal immigrants over all-U.S. citizen homes, according to the detailed report from the Center for Immigration Studies released Monday.

How to be dependent on government is now one of the earliest life lessons America is teaching nearly a supermajority of children.

After a legal battle with several advocacy groups, New Mexico’s Human Servs. Dept. announced that it'd restart the rulemaking process, delaying the reinstatement of the work requirement, originally slated for Nov. 1, by several months.

On everything from subsidies for Obamacare to food stamps to Social Security Disability, the bill keeps getting bigger, but the percentage of Americans willing and able to pay it keeps getting smaller.

Just one month after passage of the farm bill designed to slim food stamp payments, governors in six states have found a way to to keep hundreds of millions of dollars flowing to food stamp recipients, a sum that could total more than $8 billion over the next decade.

Ted Cruz explains why he voted ‘no’ on the so-called ‘Farm Bill,’ which spends $352 billion more than the last Farm Bill: “This bill is not really a Farm Bill, it’s a Food Stamps bill...Instead of locking people into an endless cycle of dependence, we should be focused on making it easier for people to stand on their own feet

Next week you will probably receive an email pitch about their “immigration reform” plan from establishment Republican “leaders,” such as Speaker John Boehner, Majority Leader Eric Cantor, Majority Whip Kevin McCarthy, Budget Chairman Paul Ryan or Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus. It will be a scam. Click here to demand your Congressman sign our "No Amnesty Pledge" today. 

How can you square an increase in government dependence, a shrinking labor force and endemic long term unemployment with an economic “recovery?" You can't unless you look at it in political, not economic terms.

The ongoing expansion of dependency on federal entitlements like SNAP (food stamps) not only makes its victims more likely to vote for politicians promising them more handouts, but also keeps them from looking for work and thereby counting as “unemployed” for purposes of the Bureau of Labor Statistics’ monthly employment reports.

"What kind of perspective must you have to equate 444,000 new Medicaid recipients with success? This is 91.5 million human beings not working. There isn't work for them, and 48 million on food stamps."
