A friend from Terre Haute assures me there is a headstone in town with the inscription “Here lies a Democrat, a father, and an honest man.” His question was why they put three people in the same grave?
A friend in Louisiana used to say voters there didn’t expect their politicians to be corrupt, they demanded it.

If there is a single foundational principle that most clearly separates America from other nations, it is freedom of speech. No right is more fundamental to our way of life.
Yet that right is directly under attack. Journalists, politicians, corporate, and civic leaders openly advocate censorship by government and corporate interests. Political correctness, groupthink, and intolerance have sparked a new era of speech suppression that marginalizes those with diverse views, promotes intolerance, and advocates retribution against those with whom they disagree.

This week we begin sharing a series of essays, on Flyover-Patriots.com, on what we must do to end the assault on freedom and restore the foundation of our constitutional republic. These are the issues that will determine whether the kind of American we know and love becomes a footnote in history.

If you are a constitutional conservative – or just a patriot who places a high value on freedom – you already know 2021 is not off to a great start. It is not surprising that Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are governing as extreme leftists. That is what they promised to do, notwithstanding the pearl clutching and admonitions that “Lunch Bucket Joe” is really a moderate. We should have taken the hint when Biden and Bernie Sanders, who is an avowed socialist, were able to come up together on a party platform they both support.

How much support do you think a presidential candidate would gain if they made the following pledge? “On day one of my Administration, I will sign executive orders to increase the price of gasoline, instantly destroy tens of thousands of jobs, increase our dependence on foreign energy, and devastate the economies of at least a dozen states.”
Right. No one would say that. If he told his advisors he wanted to make such an announcement, they would pull him off the campaign trail (or, in the case of Joe Biden, leave him in his basement but lock the doors) and advise him to shut up and get some sleep.

One of the oldest sayings regarding politics is this: If you have any respect for sausage, or the law, you should never watch either being made.
That comes to mind in the wake legislation providing Covid “relief” to the American people. If you can watch this fecal festival without screaming or throwing things against the wall, you’re bereft of standards or simply just don’t care.
To paraphrase William F. Buckley, I would rather be governed by the first 535 names in the Terre Haute, Indiana, phone book than by the U. S. Congress. It would be a step up.

The discussion about 2020 vote fraud mirrors, in many ways, the status quo on public affairs more broadly. And that isn’t a good thing.
If you are reading these words, you are more than likely a very well-informed citizen. That isn’t a compliment to us. It’s a compliment to you. And not because our site is special. But if you have found your way here, in a maze of thousands of options, you must be fairly interested in the health of our nation. It also means you must not take much of what you see on tv or read in the papers at face value. Again, good for you. Our intention here is to raise questions, invite scrutiny, and offer opinions with which you may or may not agree. We are all about free speech, even as one of our major political parties no longer champions it.

Unity is a word that is thrown around pretty casually. But it is is hard to come up with a real definition of what unity means today.
In practice, the way the left uses the term, unity means surrender. It’s a lot like the term compromise. We are urged to compromise, which means agreeing with them. Democrats ran on a platform that supports bigger government, higher taxes, less freedom, and more control of your medical care, job, cost and sources of energy, and even the kind of car you drive. The 2020 Democratic Platform advocated a greater increase in governmental power, and a concomitant reduction in American freedom, than any such treatise in our history. We are urged to unify by accepting some or all of those positions. No thanks.

Over the last few years, we’ve become a big fan of Wayne Allen Root. If you haven’t had a chance to listen to him, do yourself a favor and check him out. Root, like me, lives in Las Vegas, with his national show originating from KBET 790 and carried nationally on the USA Radio Network.
We had the pleasure of speaking with Root at the Las Vegas Donald Trump, Jr., event last Sunday. Root is, among other things, an entrepreneur, columnist, public speaker, and world-class odds maker. He is a huge Trump fan and boldly predicted his 2016 win. His newest book, Trump Rules, is released tomorrow. Check it out and thank us later!

As we predicted, the 2020 election will make history. At this point, no winner is certified, although some media outlets have called Biden the winner. Although much of this story remains to be written, let’s offer a few observations as of today.
First, there was no blue wave. Whatever happens to the presidential contest, those who repeatedly predicted a Democratic landslide were wrong. Notably, many of those who were wrong on this point are former Republicans, RINOs, previously relevant prognosticators like Bill Kristol, or failed national candidates like Mitt Romney. Most of these anti-Trumpers predicted Trump would crash and burn and bring the entire GOP slate with it. They could not have been more wrong.
