Who is Hoda Muthana? Why should we care? With the reality that Jussie Smollett arranged the well-publicized "hate crime" hoax that had Progressives and the Left in arms, a new victim of choice is needed to push their agenda. Enter Hoda Muthana, who joined ISIS in 2014 but now wants to return to the US. This may well be the next major emotional story to fill airwaves.

With CPAC 2019 quickly approaching, we reached out to a fellow attendee, Melanie Collette. She is the host of MoneyTalk with Melanie, a professor at Rowan University, as well as finding time to be involved in the NJ GOP. We sought her unique and expert opinion on some of the issues of the day (many of which may be topics at CPAC), including: Jusse Smollett, gun control and Red Flags from a woman's view, the Bill Maher outlook of Progressives on the economy, and more.

We could have talked about actor Jusse Smollett, but instead we focus on an example of how Congress is failing the public. Like many in Congress, Rep. Brindisi makes a lot of promises. But how serious can we take the promise based on what he has done. Or rather the only thing he has done. A gift of 7 words - and they aren't even his own.

The unspoken issue hiding in the background of the Green New Deal (GND) is 100% compliance. What if you don't want to comply? What will the Democratic Socialist do to you? What freedom do you have if the Government compels you by force? It's an issue Americans must discuss, so tell us your thoughts.

February 9, 2019 - There is perhaps nothing more frustrating that actually reading a proposed legislation and realizing no one involved asked a simple question. IF you can't use fossil fuels to run a cargo ship, and solar/wind/geothermal won't work, how do you trade with the world? How is climate change responsible for women being paid less than men? How can joining a Union reduce greenhouse gas? Why won't the Government track the number of kids removed from families as a result of Red Flag laws? Just a lot of questions, no other media will ask and no politician will volunteer - thus our rant shared with the public via Facebook Live.

February 7, 2019 - Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is unveiling her $7 trillion Green New Deal, and the details are eye opening. From replacing the electric grid to eliminating gas powered cars, all at the cost of freedom of choice and the US economy. It even stretches to create union jobs, a living wage, Medicare for All, each in the name of climate change and renewable energy. But does it make any sense? Is it even possible? What about China, India, and the 3rd world? Who is Rep. Ocasio-Cortez really trying to help?

We hear about the "evils" of owning a gun in mass media all the time. We are told we need to be more like "civilized" nations like United Kingdom (England). But what does that really mean? Is England more or less violent? With more or less weapons? Featuring interview with Ken McClenton of Exceptional Conservative Show in DC.

In a surprise that wasn't, Gov. Andrew Cuomo revealed on Feb 5, 2019, that New York State had lost $2.3 billion in tax revenues. A culmination of the efforts to enforce the path to a Progressive capital in the nation. While Cuomo tried to deflect the cause, it cannot be denied that bad economic policy coupled with demands that public comply or leave the State is the cause. We highlight the reality that led to this falling domino of consequence, sure to be followed by many more.

We asked, and Chris gave us his thoughts.
