Thanks to Government, Maui’s Lahaina Fire Became a Deadly Conflagration

America isn’t “One Nation” and that Matters

This may seem like semantical nitpicking, but it is an extremely important distinction that impacts how we understand the powers of the general government.

Good Morning, Frank, and Happy Friday!
I was unaware of this current event until I saw you and Ryan on TV yesterday. I definitely support the Prager U class for a variety of reasons. Through much talk with JJ Valera, I assume you are completely familiar with all the content in the Ian Underwood books.
