As with anything, the answer lies in an accurate understanding of our past. The answer lies in anti-Federalism...

There’s good news and bad news. The good news is, we know exactly what is driving us towards insolvency: trust fund programs and interest on the national debt.
Legislate Responsibly
America was built on a foundation of heavy industry. Whether it is the blast furnaces where steel was made to give life to skyscrapers or the railroads which move the goods in our refrigerators, living rooms, and garages, these industries must be able to conduct their operations without the specter of arbitrary regulation. An example of arbitrary legislation comes in the form of S. 576, the Railway Safety Act of 2023, which was introduced by Ohio Sen.
FreedomWorks Applauds Committee Approval of Fiscal Commission Act
“We applaud the House Budget Committee for voting to approve the Fiscal Commission Act in a bipartisan fashion.

The United States of Debt: The Fiscal Future of America Is Increasingly Bleak
There has been talk in Congress recently of the creation of a “fiscal commission,” or “debt commission,” to address the serious fiscal challenges that face the United States.

Offshore - Lonngggg booat ride
Made the decision last minute to change where we dumped the boat due to finalizing the game plan. Launched at Dana at 6am and got bait. Hit the 267 to the 209, ton of paddys and bait on them but otherwise lifeless. From the 209 hit the Mackeral bank for slack tide. Absolutely zero life out there. From the mackeral we ran towards Cat and hit the slide, avalon bank, the 152, to the 277. Again a lot of paddies but very little life. Some radio chatter about dorado on the avalon bank.

House Republican’s CBDC Bans Must Close All Loopholes
After discovering that, for two years, the federal government lied to the American people and imposed countless authoritarian measures based on those lies, you would think that we would be wary of any new calls for centralized power.

House GOP Border Security Package
