John Paul Moran talks about OppScore from GOUSA

John Paul Moran, Founder & CEO of GOUSA, talks about OppScore and the OppScore Challenge from GO USA. The media would have you believe that our country is evenly divided, when in fact we’re very united on the issues that matter most to the voters. In fact, 85% of us are aligned on the issues in support of common sense, America-First principles. “GO USA” has shown this through its polls and research – and actually changed minds and moved voters to support America-First candidates, as it did in key swing states and districts in the 2024 elections, and plans to do so to achieve victory in 2025 and 2026!


The Art of the Tariff

Trump is the mastermind of “The Art of the Deal.” Through that lens, his unprecedented use of tariffs is genius. Those in the business of selling panic, aka “Panicans,” claim an “unhinged” Trump is provoking trade wars, economic depression, chaos, and possible actual war. Reality is quite the opposite. 

Trump, a Wharton School of Finance graduate and an experienced student of the “school of life,” has spent the last 4 years contemplating the implementation of his long-talked-about tariffs. His tariffs are what 79 million Americans voted for. The pandemic underscored the vulnerability of an America dependent on adversaries for its PPE, pharmaceuticals, computer chips, rare earth minerals, and steel needed for military equipment. Giving China monopolies over needed goods gives them leverage to hold us hostage. At one point, China toyed with cutting off our medicines. Returning manufacturing to America is a national security necessity.


My January 6 Story: Still Seeking Answers


By Sara Carpenter

I am a lifelong resident of Queens, NY—President Trump’s hometown. I graduated from Christ the King High School and earned a BA in Studio Art from Marymount Manhattan College. In 1992, I began a nine-year career as an NYPD Police Officer, retiring as a 9/11 First Responder. I’m a proud mother to my 21-year-old son and share my home with a beloved German Shepherd.

I’m passionate about art, volunteering to teach classes at a local public school and hosting an annual 9/11 Art Memorial. I’ve also contributed to my community by caring for the elderly, teaching religious education, and tending horses at a local stable.

Politically, I helped unseat Anthony Weiner by volunteering for Congressman Bob Turner’s campaign but stepped back after witnessing local corruption. Before January 6, 2021, I was working on an art project, still in progress.


Abolish the Dept. of Ed?

Pushback Against the Dept. of Ed. Did Not Begin with Trump


By Elena Chin

“Education is the principal responsibility of local school systems, teachers, parents, citizen boards, and state governments.” — Ronald Reagan

Calls to reduce or eliminate the Department of Education predate President Trump by nearly two centuries. The role of the federal government in education has long been a highly debated topic. In fact, the establishment of the original Department of Education under President Andrew Johnson in 1867 sparked immediate controversy, despite the agency’s limited authority, which focused solely on collecting statistics and sharing educational best practices nationwide. By 1868, the department was downgraded to the Office of Education and placed under the Department of the Interior, as many lawmakers and citizens feared government overreach and the erosion of powers reserved for the states.
