Top Issues

Environment / Energy Finally, a return to energy independence is fundamental to national security. We must never be held hostage by oil-rich countries that hate us or the climate zealots that want to control us. Education Through critical race theory and Marxist indoctrination, teacher unions educate our children to imbecility. Public schools are failing. And while the US ranks last among developed nations, Washington wants to teach our children at even earlier ages. Government-funded K4 has become K3. Soon, the indoctrination will begin at K0. The Marxist’s agenda is to separate children from parental influence as early as possible while teacher unions have long ignored the wishes of parents. Parents know best how to educate their children, not Washington bureaucrats. We must get the Federal Government out of the teaching business and eliminate the Department of Education. Economy In short, inflation is a factor of increased money supply. The solution is simple: massive spending cuts, end QE, and let the markets set rates. While painful, this is the only solution, or we will see another spike in inflation that will dwarf prior readings. If you’re going to smoke a carton a day, don’t expect the cancer treatments to be fun. We got here after years of fiscal insanity. Getting out won’t happen overnight. Economy My economic plan returns the budget to pre-COVID levels, reduces corporate taxes, makes the Trump tax cuts permanent, and guts the growth-killing regulatory environment. And we cannot bend to the climate zealots. Their agenda is built on lies masquerading as science, not about saving the planet but control and global wealth redistribution. Foreign Policy Our foreign policy is a disaster, and we have a crisis at the border that threatens national security and sovereignty. Our foreign policy must meet three standards – US national security interest, US economic security interest, and advance American ideals. Defense / Veterans Military recruitment continues to decline as their woke agenda divides America and degrades interest in service. We must rebuild our military by investing in advanced weapon systems, not ridiculous climate initiatives. We must reject the social testing programs and return our focus to training war fighters.
