Congressman Mark Green is stepping down and the political class is already making calls. The donors are circling. The insiders are picking a successor behind closed doors—because that’s how the game is played. They think you’ll just go along with it. But here’s the truth:.I.

A new party might shake the system. But it won’t fix it. The problem isn’t red versus blue—or green, or gold, or even “America First.”.The problem is the belief that we need any party to tell us what to think, who to vote for, or how to serve the people. Leadership isn’t.

By a factor of 2 to 1, you want a new political party and you shall have it!. When it comes to bankrupting our country with waste & graft, we live in a one-party system, not a democracy. Today, the America Party is formed to give you back your freedom.

Just got a fresh batch of these shirts in and there’s only one way to get one:. Be part of the team. We’re gearing up to gather signatures for ballot access, and we need boots on the ground. If you’re tired of politics as usual and ready to put accountability back in Congress,

The storm is coming. Now that the "Big Beautiful" omnibus bill has passed—thanks to Republicans—watch what happens next:. “You're going to get Democrats elected!”. “You're spoiling the election!”. “We have to vote Red to save the country!”. Spare us. Elon Musk floated starting.

On July 4, of all days, we’re reminded what this country was built on—self-government. Trump’s claim that he “holds all the levers” over New York City isn’t strength. It’s a rejection of the very spirit of '76. You don’t have to agree with Mamdani to defend the right of New

To be clear—I didn’t endorse Jody Barrett, but you already knew that. And that hasn’t stopped John Rich from twisting a moment of decency into a cheap political jab. This is exactly what’s broken in our system. We can’t even acknowledge someone’s good qualities without it being.

The One Big Beautiful Bill is about to get passed and it got me thinking about deficits. Here's a novel idea. How about we spend less than we make unless an emergency is declared or we're under attack?

The “One Big Beautiful Bill” is on the verge of passing. Here’s what that means:. For the campaign: the clock is ticking. I'm told Green's last day will be July 20. Presumably, around this time the governor will issue a writ of elections. Once that happens, candidates will have.

The “Big Beautiful Bill” is stalled—and the usual suspects are already playing their favorite game:. 👉 Find one popular item buried inside.👉 Guilt-trip anyone voting no.👉 Pretend it's a stand-alone issue. It’s dishonest. It’s manipulative. And it’s how we got $37 trillion in.

I had to fly out for work today—like a lot of folks do. Mark Green’s about to make his retirement official, and I’m out of state just trying to keep the lights on at home. How in the world are working people supposed to be active in politics?. I was planning to do an impromptu.

Mark Green just showed up and voted yes. He cast one more vote for a bill that bloats our budget, deepens our debt, and betrays everything he claimed to stand for. Now he’s heading for the exit. After reconciliation. After the damage is done. This is what politics-as-usual.

Hear me out @elonmusk:. Instead of chasing new parties with new platforms to toe, how about supporting principled independents who answer to people, not party bosses?. George Washington warned us about factions for a reason. Maybe it’s time we finally listened. Starting a new.

If this insane spending bill passes, the America Party will be formed the next day. Our country needs an alternative to the Democrat-Republican uniparty so that the people actually have a VOICE.

Ever wonder why regular folks don’t run for Congress?. I just learned the average House campaign now costs $2.6 million. Presidential races? Over $16 billion in 2024. Not to govern. Just to get elected. Talk about wasteful spending!. I’ve got a job, a mortgage, and two young.

This post is dead right. The math isn’t partisan. It’s terminal. DC won’t touch this issue. They’d rather bankrupt our country and destroy our kids' future than risk losing a primary. They don’t fear collapse. They fear losing power. I’ll say what they won’t:.If we don’t.

this is clearly going to be the emerging line of debate on "entitlements.". the simple fact is that when you tax something, you get less of it. when you subsidize it, you get more. we can argue about priorities and who paid what, but the none of this changes a basic fact:. the

Elon’s announcement is incredible—and terrifying. A car just drove itself from factory to customer with no driver, no operator, no fallback. A milestone in tech history. But here’s the question:.If AI can do this in 2025, where does that leave millions of American workers in.

No doubt America’s military is unmatched—we spend more than the next nine countries combined. But this isn’t a competition of who can build the most toys. It’s not a scoreboard. It’s supposed to be about national defense, not empire maintenance or chest-thumping. As a veteran,.

I’ve got two young boys at home—7 and almost 5. And like most parents, I worry about the world we’re handing them. That’s why I stepped into this race. Not to join a team. Not to chase power. But because party politics has turned neighbors into enemies—and I refuse to play that.

America was built on radical ideas—dangerous ideas, in their time. The Founders didn’t plead for permission from kings. They debated, dissented, and risked their lives for a system that welcomed opposing views. Ogles' letter isn’t about national security. It’s about fear. He.

Zohran "little muhammad" Mamdani is an antisemitic, socialist, communist who will destroy the great City of New York. He needs to be DEPORTED. Which is why I am calling for him to be subject to denaturalization proceedings. Attached is my letter to @AGPamBondi.
