Please Follow us on Gab, Minds, Telegram, Rumble, Gettr, Truth Social, TwitterFirefighters represent the very best in government, risking injury and death for the communities they serve. When someone calls 911 — whether for a heart attack, car accident, or fire — the fire department just shows up. One would think their union would fight as hard for them. Unfortunately, the International Association of Fire Fighters (IAFF) has been marred by controversies and alleged corruption.
FRANK RICCI: Fire Fighters’ Union Betraying Its Members

1 month ago | dailycaller.com | Frank Ricci

Unions were designed to protect the middle class. Unfortunately, like most bureaucracies, the larger they become, the more their intended mission morphs into self-interest and the preservation of the bureaucracy itself. Firefighters risk injury and their lives daily to protect our communities, charging into infernos to save lives and property. They should not also have to battle their own union’s leadership, which appears more focused on personal gain than on safeguarding its members’ interests.

America Has A Robed Politician Problem

Injunctions are hard-fought and not often won — unless, it seems, you’re trying to handcuff the Trump administration from fulfilling its constitutional duty under Article II. Sen. Chuck Grassley’s bill — the Judicial Relief Clarification Act — aims to quell the flames. He writes that these injunctions “have become a favorite tool for those seeking to obstruct Mr. Trump’s agenda,” and the numbers prove it: over two-thirds of all universal injunctions in the last 25 years targeted Trump’s first term.

Eliminating the Education Department is the key to restoring American culture

Mar 14, 2025 | thespectator.com | Teresa Mull |John MacArthur |Matt Purple |Frank Ricci

Since the US Department of Education’s inception in 1980, the agency has proven itself to be incompetent at its principal task: teaching American children. Adding insult to injury, the agency has also earned a big, fat F when it comes to fiscal responsibility. Despite this reality, headlines announcing the Trump administration’s newly streamlined Department of Education cast a somber tone. Layoffs “gutted” the Education Department, reports the AP.
