Northam, Campaign Deny Approving Race-Baiting Ad; Column Shows Otherwise
Every day that goes by continues to generate more controversy for Ralph Northam, the Democratic candidate for governor of Virginia, regarding a minute-long commercial that attempts to portray Republicans in the Old Dominion as race-baiting, Confederate flag-waving villains. Even though the Latino Victory Fund has pulled the hostile ad, the controversy has reached the point when Northam had to personally go on television and claim that “the commercial did not come from our campaign, and it’s certainly not a commercial that I would have wanted to run.” All the while, American Commitment President Phil Kerpen did some digging and found that, in reality, the Northam campaign was more linked to the infamous ad than they've been letting on. Of course, the news media could have discovered this too, but that's not how the liberal media operates.

NAFTA's Good But Could Be Better
In 1994, NAFTA critics said the U. S. would lose jobs. Post-NAFTA, our economy has added, on average, more than a million jobs annually.

Instead of scrapping the pact, we should build on its success by negotiating an even better win-win-win deal for all three countries.
