Mounting a primary campaign against a sitting President is very challenging even when the incumbent is unpopular. Ronald Reagan made waves in 1976 against Gerald Ford. Four years later, Ted Kennedy had moderate success against Jimmy Carter. Otherwise, no primary candidates in the modern era have had an impact against incumbents.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr is running against Joe Biden for the Democrat nomination for president. Could he do what the 40th President couldn’t do? Can he fair better than his uncle?
Yes.
Let’s put the polls aside, even though they are currently very positive for RFK Jr. Let’s even put aside, for now, the fact that Biden is less popular than Gerald Ford and Jimmy Carter were. The biggest reason I believe RFK Jr can give Biden a run for his money is something he said yesterday.
“I am against people participating in women’s sports who are biologically male,” the Democratic presidential candidate said. “I think women have worked too hard to develop women’s sports over the past 30 years. I watched it happen, and I don’t think that’s fair.”
Ask any random Democrat on the street if they support “transgender women” playing against actual women in sports and the vast majority of them will say the woke thing. “Yes, trans rights matter…” or something like that, they’ll say.
Inject them with sodium thiopental, get them drunk, or otherwise compel them to tell the truth and many if not most of them will acknowledge they’d rather see women playing against women and men playing against men.
You see, Democrats are not as stupid as they act. They are indoctrinated into a political cult that allows cognitive dissonance to rule over them under normal circumstances, but deep down they know the trans-supremacy agenda is wrong. Deep down, they know that all lives matter, not just Black lives. Deep down, they know kids shouldn’t be exposed to adult content whether it’s in their library books or at drag shows.
They virtue signal. They play woke on television. They pretend to be oblivious to the blatant truth in front of them.
Don’t get me wrong. Some are truly brainwashed. I’m hopeful that it’s not most of them. But by being beholden to this radical new variant of the Democrat Party, nearly all of them are part of a political cult that has zero tolerance for disagreement. As a result, they stay in line and flash their woke card when appropriate. It’s safer that way.
Deep down, many Democrats want someone like RFK Jr to bring their party back from the brink of total insanity. And it’s not just the moderates, either. There are far-left progressives who are secretly opposed to trans-supremacy while being all-in for the climate change scam, all-in for wealth redistribution, and all-in for criminal justice reform. RFK Jr is all-in on these priorities as well. He’s an old school progressive who happens to be against trans-supremacy, wars against China or Russia, and the Covid jabs.
I’m cheering for him. I don’t want him in the White House because he’s still a Democrat and would usher in the Green New Deal if given the chance, but I’m hopeful that he can give Biden a run for his money. The deeper into the primaries he can get, the more damage Biden will take before the general election.
If RFK Jr can mount a primary challenge equal to or better than Reagan and his uncle, then he may be able to make history repeat itself. While both Ford and Carter beat their primary opponents, they lost their general elections. Hopefully, RFK Jr can help Biden join that group of single-term presidents.

Safeguarding Your American Dream: Discover the Power of America First Healthcare
In today’s economy, healthcare costs remain one of the biggest threats to financial stability and family security. Americans work hard to build a better life, yet rising medical expenses can quickly erode savings, force tough trade-offs, and even push families toward debt or bankruptcy. Medical bills continue to rank as the leading cause of personal bankruptcy in the United States, with millions facing underinsurance or unexpected out-of-pocket burdens that no one plans for. Many turn to government-run marketplace plans under the Affordable Care Act, hoping for relief, only to discover that what appears affordable on paper often delivers higher long-term costs, limited real protection, and coverage that may not align with personal values or family needs.
America First Healthcare stands out as a private insurance agency dedicated to helping conservatives and families secure better coverage and better rates through customized, values-aligned options. By conducting free insurance reviews, the agency uncovers hidden gaps in existing policies and connects clients with private alternatives that emphasize personal responsibility, small-government principles, and genuine affordability—often delivering up to 20% savings while providing stronger protection for the American Dream.
The allure of marketplace plans is easy to understand: open enrollment periods, premium tax credits for many households, and the promise of “comprehensive” benefits mandated by law. Yet recent data reveals a different reality, especially after the expiration of enhanced premium subsidies at the end of 2025. Enrollment for 2026 dropped by more than one million people compared to the prior year, with many shifting to lower-tier bronze plans to keep monthly premiums manageable.
These plans feature significantly higher deductibles—averaging around $7,500 nationally—and greater cost-sharing requirements. Families who once paid modest amounts after subsidies now face average premium increases of $65 or more per month, even as they accept plans that leave them responsible for thousands in upfront costs before meaningful coverage kicks in.
High deductibles create a dangerous barrier to care. Studies show that people in such plans are less likely to seek timely treatment for chronic conditions, attend preventive screenings, or fill necessary prescriptions. A seemingly minor illness or injury can balloon into major expenses when patients delay care until problems worsen. For a family of four, a single hospitalization, cancer diagnosis, or unexpected surgery can easily exceed the deductible, triggering coinsurance and out-of-pocket maximums that still leave substantial bills. One recent analysis noted that some proposed changes could push family deductibles toward $31,000 in future years, further exposing households to financial risk.
Beyond the numbers, marketplace plans often carry structural limitations. Coverage for certain critical services may include waiting periods or narrower networks that restrict access to preferred doctors and specialists. Preventive care is required to be covered without cost-sharing, but everything else—lab work, imaging, specialist visits, or ongoing treatment—typically waits until the deductible is met. This reactive model contrasts sharply with the proactive, holistic approach many families prefer, especially those focused on wellness, early intervention, and maintaining health to enjoy life rather than merely reacting to illness.
Values alignment represents another growing concern. Government-influenced plans operate within a framework shaped by federal mandates and political priorities that may not reflect conservative principles of limited government, personal freedom, and ethical stewardship. Families who want to direct their healthcare dollars toward providers and benefits that honor traditional values sometimes find marketplace options feel misaligned, forcing a compromise between affordability and conviction.
Private alternatives, by contrast, offer year-round flexibility without the restrictions of open enrollment windows. Independent agents can shop across a wider range of carriers to design plans tailored to specific family needs—whether that means lower deductibles for frequent medical users, broader provider networks, or add-ons that support wellness and preventive services from day one. Clients frequently report more stable premiums that do not automatically escalate each year, along with genuine cost savings once the full picture of deductibles, copays, and coverage depth is considered.
Take the experience of real families who made the switch. Amanda C. shared that her new plan felt “way better” than what she had through the marketplace. Johnny Y. noted his previous coverage kept increasing annually until he found a more stable private option. Sofia S. expressed delight with her plan and began recommending it to others. These stories echo a common theme: when families move beyond one-size-fits-all government marketplaces, they often discover customized protection that better safeguards both health and finances.
Founder Jordan Sarmiento’s own journey underscores the stakes. In 2021, a six-day hospitalization generated a $95,000 bill. Under a well-structured private “Conservative Care Coverage” plan, his out-of-pocket responsibility would have been just $500. That stark difference illustrates how thoughtful planning and private options can prevent a medical event from becoming a financial catastrophe.
Practical steps exist for anyone questioning their current coverage. Start with a no-obligation review of your existing policy to identify gaps—high deductibles, limited critical-care benefits, or escalating premiums. Compare total projected costs (premiums plus potential out-of-pocket expenses) rather than monthly premiums alone. Consider family health history, anticipated needs, and lifestyle priorities. Private agencies can present side-by-side options that include stronger wellness incentives, broader access, and plans built on shared values of self-reliance and freedom.
In an era when healthcare inflation continues to outpace general cost-of-living increases, relying solely on marketplace solutions carries growing risk. Families who proactively explore private alternatives frequently achieve meaningful savings while gaining peace of mind that their coverage truly works when needed most.
America First Healthcare makes this exploration straightforward through its free review process. Families and individuals receive personalized guidance to close coverage holes, reduce unnecessary expenses, and secure plans that align with conservative principles—protecting wallets, health, and the American Dream without government overreach. Many who complete a review discover they can enjoy better benefits for less, often saving up to 20% while gaining the customization and stability that marketplace plans struggle to deliver.
Ultimately, protecting your family’s future requires looking beyond the marketing of “affordable” government options. By understanding the long-term costs hidden in high deductibles, shifting coverage tiers, and values mismatches, Americans can make empowered choices. Private, values-driven insurance offers a smarter path—one that rewards diligence, supports wellness, and delivers real security. For those ready to move beyond the limitations of traditional marketplace plans, a simple review can reveal options designed to serve families, not bureaucracies. The American Dream thrives when individuals and families retain control over their healthcare decisions, and thoughtful private coverage plays a vital role in making that possible.
