On his way out the door, President* Biden keeps issuing executive orders. One of the most controversial is the recent order that ‘permanently’ prohibits exploring or drilling for oil along most of the US coastline. This is being reported as something that will be difficult or impossible for Trump to reverse, because doing so would … Read more
The Soros-funded social-justice experiment of recruiting progressive prosecutors who function more as a second phalanx of defense attorneys has crashed in flames. California’s Proposal 36 was supported by more than 70% of voters and reversed these ill-considered policies to correct course for public safety. Such strong support in such a blue state reveals the profound … Read more
The media has blown it for the last decade. They have destroyed their credibility to the point that pay cuts or layoffs have replaced deadlines for these information hacks. They bought in on the Russian dossier and the January 6 assault on the Capital. Yet, they missed the border fiasco, the Afghanistan retreat, the cocaine … Read more
The two sides of this latest American disaster are amazing when taken separately, and that is difficult to do with such devastation. California is such a beautiful state and probably the most diverse and rich in natural offerings, including the ocean, mountains, rich agricultural regions, and vineyards. Still, when mother nature or man-made error occurs, … Read more
It took me a few years to get my school district (SAU73) to figure out that Agents of Government (elected and bureaucratic officials) cannot abrogate a person’s First Amendment Free Speech rights. Frankly, it got frustrating at times, but the school board finally acknowledged the error of their ways (to avoid the threat of another … Read more
Ann Kuster heads out the door of the US Capitol (for the last time as a member of Congress) with what shall be, in our opinion, the defining moment of her tenure. Her lasting legacy. Context? ‘Annie’ voted not to deport illegal alien sex offenders. And I’m betting that Anne Kuster would be very happy … Read more
There were a lot of surprises on the morning of November 6th, 2024. The Democrats lost the US House, the US Senate, and the Oval Office, and the abortion issue was unable to overshadow the problems plaguing regular Americans. If Democrats can’t win with abortion, what are they going to do? It didn’t work in … Read more
In the book Crisis and Leviathan, libertarian thinker Robert Higgs pointed out that the state uses crises to ratchet up its power and control over citizens. With each new “crisis” – often directly or indirectly caused by the state itself – government grows and our freedom shrinks. The root cause of the September 11, 2001 … Read more
The Medal of Freedom is the highest award given to civilians for the best and brightest of our country. These medals are for contributions that contribute to the betterment of America. The people who receive the Medal of Freedom deserve a thank you from every American. Joe Biden has destroyed the spirit and value of … Read more
If their duty, their honor, and their oaths will not bind them, let us not put into their hands our liberty and all our other great interests.” These are the powerful words of Gouverneur Morris, the “Penman of the Constitution” and author of its preamble. Morris did not mince words during the Philadelphia Convention of … Read more
And ideological ones as well. I would think that Lloyd Alter, a former architect, entrepreneur, and professor at Toronto Metropolitan University, would better grasp small and large numbers and how they interplay for setting Contexts. Yes, with a capital “C” as he, along with many other Eco-Socialists, continuously try to use “small number anecdotes” to … Read more
This government “will swallow the liberties of the people, without giving them previous notice.” That’s one of many stark warnings Patrick Henry gave us in 1788. In a series of fiery speeches during the Virginia Ratifying Convention, he laid out some of the most powerful anti-Federalist arguments against the Constitution. He predicted all kinds of abuses … Read more
At this point, President Joe Biden — the absent president, the ghost president — could only salvage a snippet of his legacy if he awarded John Daly with the Presidential Medal of Freedom and decreed that henceforth, every summer will be “White Boy Summer.” Biden, instead, is handing out participation trophies for some of the … Read more
Then it Became Condescending and Orwellian So “Bard” was one of the names for Google’s earlier Artificial Intelligence forays, and I decided, given what others were doing then, to “test” it a bit. The common complaint, back in its early days (otherwise called January 2024), was that it would not answer direct questions asked by … Read more
From my perch and particular time in life, there has been this continuing growth of a fundamental absence, an essence that was practically universal during our Founding. More concerning is that this missing link has become ingrained within portions of our elected leaders. Specifically, what’s missing is a basic love of country, which entails the … Read more
In the most significant act of Vice President Harris’s term, she declared Donald J. Trump the victor of the November election and the 47th President of the United States. Trump is the man who rose from political death, overcame a legal assault by Joe Biden’s Justice Department, and an all-out assault by a biased media … Read more
I wandered over to a different Grok, X’s AI, and found this headline. META Ditches Fact-Checkers for Community Notes. Who doesn’t click on that? Here’s what it said. Multiple Media reports confirm this as accurate. As many of our readers have been banned, thrown in Facebook Jail, and throttled by Meta, we look forward to … Read more
The tragedy in New Orleans and the car explosion outside the Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas were horrific events in themselves. Still, the reaction and cover-up by authorities are as horrific and insulting. The people charged with keeping us safe by preventing incidents like the ones we experienced on New Year’s Eve are racing … Read more
President-elect Donald Trump has a big job ahead of him in restoring common sense and sanity to federal energy policy when he takes office on January 20. The last four years in this realm can more accurately be characterized as a series of ill-considered, irrational scams than as any sort of coherent, productive set of … Read more
On January 3, New York Judge Juan Merchan rejected President-Elect Donald Trump’s request that his “hush money” convictions be vacated based on the US Supreme Court’s presidential immunity decision in Trump v. United States. Merchan has scheduled a “sentencing” of Donald Trump for January 10, in which no incarceration will be imposed. What’s the point? Sensationalist … Read more
