The Trump Revolution has clearly now spread to the Democrats. People do not understand that the Trump Revolution is NOT about a particular philosophy. It is about just throwing those in power out. The year 1933 was the same thing. That year saw the extreme-right elect Hitler, the left elect Franklin Roosevelt, and the extreme-left put Mao and […]

The proposal is being submitted by State Senator Bob Smith D-Middlesex. Of course, Smith is trying to say it’s not actually a tax and calling it a “user […]
