[Originally published in April 2025. It seems like a good time to remind people of this.] Every summer, kids are out of school for about 80 days, almost 3 months. So, what do parents do with their kids during that time? It’s not like their jobs end. It’s not like they can take 3 months … Read more

That’s when James Otis Jr delivered a fiery 5-hour speech railing against the writs of … Read more

The public school system is a jobs program for progressives. A local “franchise” of the Big Government expansion machine. The one that creates problems so it can grow itself and use your money to pay them to help progressives stay in power. The war on poverty, the war on drugs, every moral call to war … Read more

Tim Walz should have stayed in the shadows. You heard very little about Tim during his 6 terms in the House of Representatives, primarily because of his lack of effectiveness. He sponsored one significant bill involving better care and suicide prevention for veterans, which was signed into law by Barack Obama in 2015. He became … Read more
The words “Body positivity” is a lot like “climate change.” The climate is always changing, and at certain times in Earth’s four-billion-ish history, it was more or less hostile to life, including ours. These days are no different. I woke up to a sunny forecast and mild temps with no rain predicted, only to find … Read more
