Surprisingly, the Rhode Island Senate race could get interesting this year.   Former Senator and Governor Lincoln Chafee has announced that he will “very likely” challenge incumbent Senator Sheldon Whitehouse in the Democratic Primary as he seeks a third term this fall.     Chafee began his career as a Republican, serving as mayor of Warwick , Rhode Island ’s second most populous city.   Chafee’s tenure in the Senate began in 1999, following the death of his father, John Chafee.   Chafee voted against confirming Sam Alito to the Supreme Court, the only Senate Republican to do so.   Whitehouse unseated Chafee in 2006, pulling off a narrow victory by racking up a huge margin in Providence .   Had Chafee won, he almost certainly would have pulled a Jim Jeffords and switched his party affiliation to Independent; which would have altered the balance of power in the Senate.   Republicans lost a total of six seats in the 2006 midterm elections, bri...

For years, the left has peddled the narrative that the Republican Party exists to serve the interests of old, rich, white, straight, cisgender Christian men while the “diverse” Democratic Party represents the interests of the working class, in addition to marginalized and oppressed groups.   Needless to say, anyone who challenges this agenda poses an enormous threat to the Democrats.   The left has found a formidable foe in Candace Owens, also known as Red Pill Black, a popular You Tube personality who works as Director of Urban Engagement for Turning Point USA .     While speaking at UCLA last week, Owens criticized African-Americans who fall into the victim mentality, suggesting that they should not use the legacy of slavery as an excuse to remain “government-dependent.”   Those hating on Owens after she made those statements included Tom Arnold, Shaun King, and Perez Hilton.   Owens has found an unlikely defender in rapper Kanye West, who ju...

I know I speak for many when I say I’m glad I’m not in school anymore.   As much as I enjoyed spending 13 years of my life working 6 ½ hour days and enjoying two months off every year, it’s nice to know that I now have the complete freedom to advance conservatism without fear of receiving lower grades than my liberal peers, even if that means working 365 days a year.   For a very long time, conservatives have recognized that a left-wing bias plagues Academia, which has a more enormous influence on the lives of children than ever before as the intact, grounded nuclear family continues to become the exception rather than the rule.   Liberals have spent the past half-century working diligently to remove all references to God from public school.   Apparently fearing that the legislative branch would not graciously pass their anti-God agenda into law, liberals ran to the Courts.   The Warren Court , arguably the most progressive Supreme Court in United States...

Four years ago, billionaire Tim Draper first floated the idea of splitting California , the most populous state in the union, and the third largest in terms of area, into six separate states .   He failed to get enough signatures for his proposal in time to secure a place on the ballot for the 2014 election.   The Six States would have included West California, consisting of Los Angeles, Santa Barbara and vicinity; Jefferson, consisting of counties in Northern California that have long fantasized about seceding from the rest of the state; North California, consisting of “Wine Country” and Sacramento; Central California, consisting of Bakersfield, Fresno and vicinity; South California, consisting of the coastal counties south of Los Angeles and the counties known as the “inland empire,” and Silicon Valley, consisting of the counties in the San Francisco Bay Area populated by hippies, tech heads, and a rapidly increasing population of homeless people who like to use the ...
