For fifty years in Washington, we have always heard these simple words from Joe Biden, “My word as a Biden.” We knew it was a matter of time before Joe Biden went back on his promise to Americans and pardoned his troubled son and cash cow, Hunter. The day came on Sunday, and the President … Read more
Heritage Foundation president Kevin Roberts is featured in the most recent edition of Hillsdale College’s Imprimis. The topic is “Populist Conservatism and Constitutional Order.” He opens with this. The top-down, elitist brand of politics that has dominated the United States since the end of the Cold War—under Republican and Democratic administrations alike—has failed. Yes, we … Read more
The transition of Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. from Democrat to Independent to (gasp!) Republican was a popcorn-grabbing sideshow of the 2024 election season — until it became the main event. The defection of Bobby Kennedy to Team Trump was a seismic shift in an already bizarre presidential election, but it also formed a more perfect … Read more
I’m not sure when the trend started, but at some point in the arc of pop culture, T-shirts began to emerge with the message: “I went to [insert name of place], and all I got was this stupid T-shirt.” This sprung a number of variations on the theme: “I went there, did that, but all … Read more
Walter Block asks us to consider the following case: Suppose someone is shooting at you. He has two babies strapped in front of his body. He is clearly an aggressor and, of course, you have the legal right to shoot back in self-defense. The moral and ethical considerations as to whether you ought to shoot … Read more
Everyone has heard about Joe Biden’s Sunday blanket pardon of his son Hunter. Forgive me, Father, for I have sinned. Yes, my son, you have, but I am the president. You are forgiven for all real or imagined crimes from January 2014 until today. Amen. Most of the focus has been on how Creepy Joe … Read more
Back in August, I noted that NH Republicans had pulled to a practical parity with the Democrats in voter registration this past year: Interesting. I was actually scurrying around the NH Secretary of State site looking for something else (dang if I can remember now) when I thought this was what I wanted. It wasn’t … Read more
I tuned in to MSNBC on Saturday morning to see what was on its agenda and because I heard they needed viewers. Since the election, only friends and family have tuned in to MSNBC and CNN. Things are so bad that Rachel Maddow had to take a pay cut to $25 million for her one-day-a-week … Read more
In a Report dated December 4th, 2024, the Congressional Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic dropped a 520-page report on its investigation into the pandemic and the response. One of the first topics it addressed was whether the virus was zoonotic or engineered. Keep in mind that there are things in this report that the … Read more
The U.S. Supreme Court is sending a chilling message to gun owners when it comes to encounters with police: comply or die. In refusing to hear an appeal in Argueta v. Jaradi, the Supreme Court is allowing a lower court ruling to stand, which threatens to erode Fourth Amendment protections against unreasonable use of force by … Read more
“If a nation expects to be ignorant and free,” wrote Thomas Jefferson, “it expects what never was and never will be.” That’s why the TAC focuses on educating people about the original meaning of the Constitution, the foundational principles of liberty, and the American Revolution. Nothing fuels our mission more than the faith and financial support of … Read more
Words from years ago yet with an impact. Sorrowfully, they are needed as we, as an American Society, are hanging over that precipice of the proverbial tipping point: “Who is serving who?” We CALL them elected Representatives, but who do they really serve? Emphasis mine: “Mr. Speaker, I was sent here not to make Government … Read more

It could have been dark and gloomy, just like the last four years, but alas, the lights are bright, and people are happy and smiling once again. There is a bounce in people’s steps, and fears about the premature end of the great experiment called the United States have been assuaged. The stars were aligned, … Read more
I doubt anyone believed Joe Biden when he said he’d respect the legal process and let the jury decide Hunter Biden’s fate. “I’m extremely proud of my son, Hunter. He has overcome an addiction. He’s one of the brightest, most decent men I know,” Biden said in June. “And I am satisfied that I’m not … Read more
The following video features Sal Khan, creator of Kahn Academy, talking about his vision for the future of education. It’s six minutes long and worth watching. As mentioned in the video, Khan started an organization called SchoolHouse.world that has free online tutoring and supports group learning. His vision is to support the kind of interactive online teaching that … Read more
Democrats are afraid of ideas with which they disagree. It is better to censor them to protect the people than assume “the people” can use their judgment. Trump Derangement Syndrome has similar side effects. It is better to run away from the potential for prosperity than allow it to improve people’s lives – they might … Read more
Democratic strategist James Carville warned Wednesday that the Democratic Party’s reputation has been profoundly damaged by massive spending during the 2024 presidential campaign. Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign and the Democratic Party reportedly spent almost $1.5 billion during her brief presidential campaign, which began on July 21. Carville, on “Politics War Room,” predicted future fundraising struggles and urged the Democratic National Committee … Read more
I’d like to give a hat tip to Tom Woods for the idea and the headline. Tom used it as a lead to offer his email list a Black Friday deal on his Liberty classroom. I’m hijacking it to ask you to consider the question and nothing else. When was the moment that you realized … Read more
I traveled around the country as an elite swimmer for more than a decade, and I could never have imagined a world where men would be welcomed into the female-only bathrooms and locker rooms I used. I instinctively knew that separate spaces were for my privacy and protection. But as I have shared my own … Read more
