If Men Are Serious About Saving America, They’ll Launch A War On Porn

September 30, 2023 Op-Ed

On September 19, I testified before a House subcommittee on the impacts of Bidenomics – yet it was clear that half the committee members weren’t even listening.

Alderman Dowd Is Out of Touch With His Constituents and the City of Nashua

September 23, 2024September 28, 2023 Julie Smith

While not everyone reading this lives in Nashua, and not every local votes in Ward 2 (which is at Charlotte Ave School, to those who don’t know where they vote), it’s well past time for Alderman Dowd to retire. He is just one vote out of a body of 15, but a serial “problem one” … Read more

September 28, 2023September 28, 2023 Op-Ed

The great H.L. Mencken reportedly said, “No one ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the American public.” While it’s hard to believe he didn’t have the Biden family finances in mind, it still serves as an apt warning for another round of handwringing over the SARS-CoV-2 virus.

“Social Justice” Is Neither Social nor Just

September 25, 2023 Op-Ed

Thomas Sowell has given us a penetrating criticism of the approach to justice taken by many political philosophers, especially John Rawls and his innumerable followers.
