The source of the manufacturers of unwritten cultural mandates is unseen; finalized into laws when the impact of good or bad moral mindsets fills the halls of government. Unfortunately, but necessarily, the nature of free market economies does not limit or force a spirit of righteousness or wickedness upon the people. Public opinion is the … Read more

My full interview with Melissa Blasek will air Monday at 8 pm. In it, she dissects a few of the good, bad, and ugly points in HB2, the trailer bill that functions as a legislative scow, dragging every bit of leftover garbage from the session across the finish line.

The directionless, leaderless Democrat Party has had only one weapon against Donald Trump, which is to tie up every effort to fulfill his promises to America in court.

The Democrats are doing what they do best. Projecting while yesterday’s last-day drop of US Supreme Court decisions had most right-of-center court watchers relieved. Amy Comey Barrett upped her street cred by dissing dopey Judicial “peer’ Ketanji Brown Jackson, and the day couldn’t get much better after that. Schools can’t force kids to participate in … Read more
The Trump administration is mulling policies to make it more difficult and costly for pharmaceutical companies to promote prescription drugs directly to consumers.

Free Speech Coalition v. Paxton has determined that, for now, online purveyors of what we call pornography have an obligation to ensure that those accessing their content are of legal age.

But it’s not their fault. … Read more

HB2, the budget dumpster fire/trailer bill, has a lot of crap in it I like and a lot I don’t. One of the wins was eliminating State motor vehicle inspections for passenger vehicles. The House passed it, the Senate watered it down, but in the end, the original had to land in HB2 or it … Read more
