Congress Has No Regulatory Authority

Mandeville, LA - Exclusive Transcript - The Congress’s power is to make commerce regular, 18th Century speak: to make it free. No tariffs, taxes or impost and duties in between the several states, which did exist under the Articles of Confederation. Folks, all this is a matter of perspective here.

Solution To Big Government: Do What We Must Do, Not What We Should Do

Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – People usually say: We need to do what can be done. No, maybe we ought to do what must be done. What must be done is much of this must stop.

Scale Matters If You Want To Be Represented In Congress

Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript –If we had one representative for every 30,000 souls, which was the vision of the framers and was honored all the way up until the 1910 census, if you have one representative for every 30,000 souls in the United States, you would have approximately, I believe the number is around 8,700 members of the House of Representin’.

Rep. Steve King’s Illegal Immigration Comments – Insensitive Or Honest?

Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – I don’t understand what the big deal is here.

He may […]

Caller Jo Gets History Lesson on The Purpose of the United States Senate

Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – Now we’re talking about things that really shouldn’t matter.

Catholic University Presidents Should Listen To John F. Kennedy And Keep Religion Out Of Politics

Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – This is one of the great speeches ever recorded. This is how Kennedy dealt with this. Not only do I think he gets it right, he quotes James Madison, he knows the story about how the Baptists were persecuted in the State of Virginia back in the 1780s that caused Madison and Jefferson to write the Virginia Statute on Religious Freedom. It’s just a […]

Defense Spending, Appropriations Bills, And Surveillance State Create A Leviathan-Sized Accounting Labyrinth

Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – I am dealing with a decimal percentage five zeroes to the right of the decimal point of what the Congress or Senate is dealing with on just one of these appropriations bills.
