Tax Day - the Left’s Favorite Holiday
The left’s favorite day of the year is finally here. April 15. Tax Day. The day the government legally gets to steal the money of hard-working Americans. And for what? To fund fraud? To protect fraudsters and punish those exposing it? Funding public schools, which are full of left-wing indoctrination? Wealthy universities endowments to push socialist agendas? Public housing for those who haven’t earned it? Cell phones, new sneakers, and healthcare for illegal aliens? The list is endless. Who pays for all this? You do. Government programs have ballooned since 1776, and that’s not a good thing. Ronald Reagan once said, “Government programs, once launched, never disappear.” He also said of government programs that they are “the closest thing to eternal life that we’ll ever see on this earth.” He was right on both counts.
Real Dignity Would Be Getting Rid of the “Dignidad” Act
Hard to believe, but right now, in the currently Republican held House of Representatives, there is a bill making the rounds introduced by Florida Congresswoman (and anchor baby) Maria Salazar, which would give blanket amnesty to ten million illegal immigrants. It’s called the “Dignidad” Act (which stands for Dignity for Immigrants while Guarding our Nation to Ignite and Deliver the American Dream Act), and it is a treasonous betrayal of American interests. Trump’s second election signified the desire for illegals to be deported. The country cannot handle them. Many actual citizens are working multiple jobs, housing is not affordable, and the reason is because demand for these things is unnecessarily high. American citizens owe these people who are here rejecting our laws absolutely nothing.
Salazar claims this bill would not provide a path to citizenship, give no voting rights, and give no access to federal programs. It would just allow them to work and contribute to the economy, according to her. “Dignidad” means dignity, and the name is designed to make it sound like a positive thing. Who can be against dignity? She’s doing what politicians have done for years in the naming – making it sound better to get people on board.

Trust Trump, Just Not His Endorsements
When it comes to President Trump, he’s absolutely been a net positive for this country. The America First initiatives, closing of the border, deportation of illegal aliens, revitalization of our military (taking the woke out of it and record recruiting), and protection of the homeland from our enemies have all been spot on. However, the man isn’t perfect, and unlike the left, who have no diversity of thought (some might call that a cult), we here on the right know how to call a spade a spade. It isn’t unhealthy to have debate within our own party, quite the opposite in fact. One area in which the president has left something to be desired is in his endorsements.
Yesterday, President Trump wrote the following on Truth Social: “Senator Lindsey Graham is doing a fantastic job. He is running against a LUNATIC named Mark Lynch, who supports perhaps the worst Congressman in the history of our country, Thomas Massie, of the great commonwealth of Kentucky. I don’t have to go into great detail, but needless to say, Mark Lynch would be a DISASTER for the Republican Party, and Lindsey Graham just, GETS THE JOB DONE. VOTE FOR LINDSEY ALL THE WAY. MAGA! President DONALD J. TRUMP”
So much to dissect there. First of all, President Trump does not know Mark Lynch. They never met. Mark Lynch is a principled conservative, a family man, a man of God, and the exact right fit for the people of South Carolina, whose citizens (not necessarily their representation) are quite conservative. Lindsey Graham can make none of those same claims. His conservative voting record is 57% lifetime. Barely over the line from being a Democrat. He supports war, amnesty, USAID, and stabs Trump in the back regularly. (For more on this, see “Fake Republicans and Their Support of Lindsey Graham” from 4/8/26.) Lindsey Graham has no family. He is not a man of God by any means. Recently, he took a trip to Disney World, where he was seen holding a magic wand. Real beta stuff. Many are wondering if he has the dress to match the wand. Does he have nothing better to do during a government shutdown?
Fake Republicans and Their Support of Lindsey Graham
The South Carolina so-called “Republican” shills keep outing themselves. These establishment types, who do not care about regular people, think that if they glom on to politicians, they hold some kind of moral high ground. It is quite the opposite. Even worse, they talk down to others, especially those who call them out for what they are. They know politicians, so they know more than you. “I know people, you don’t.” They are the ones with an ear to the inside, you are not. That type of attitude is rampant among these people, and it makes grass roots patriots like myself sick.
Putting this into context, I have been very vocal in my aversion to Lindsey Graham and my desire to see him thrown out of the Senate, a desire shared by an increasingly larger number of South Carolinians. In 2023, while President Trump was on the campaign trail in Pickens County, Lindsey was booed off the stage. He spoke for six minutes, but chants of “traitor” drowned him out. It was glorious, as the people were telling us it is time for a change, and the best part is that Pickens is Graham’s home county. Now, since 2026 is an election year for him, he has conveniently attached himself to President Trump and his agenda once again.
