Education is a mess, and funding it is a mess. Costs are high, learning is low, and there are many ideas about what to do that don’t even begin to address the purpose of public education or its problems. Back in January, Ian and Jody Underwood joined me to talk about all things education, and … Read more
H.461—An act expanding employee access to unpaid leave passed both the House and Senate, its fate now in the hands of Governor Scott. Having failed to pass a taxpayer-funded paid family leave program, lawmakers pivoted to this new mandate on Vermont businesses that they provide up to twelve weeks of unpaid leave to care for themselves … Read more
You’ll have by now learned that the FDA no longer recommends boosters for the Chinese Virus to anyone under 64 or younger unless they fit an immunocompromised profile. Or that before it can begin to consider that injection for anyone else, manufacturers will have to prove a clinical benefit. You can’t just say it’s safe … Read more
Virginia Allen – The Daily Signal Troops chanted “U.S.A.” at the largest U.S. military base in the Middle East as President Donald Trump took the podium before them on Thursday.

No one complains as much if their vehicle insurance rates are higher because they bought a car thieves love more than others. You can complain if you didn’t know that, but then that’s no one else’s job but yours. Before you buy a car, it makes sense to do some research. Vehicles with higher rates … Read more
During President Biden’s tenure, the USDA conditioned the receipt of disaster relief funds for farmers based on race. Some white farmers sued, alleging this was unconstitutional racial discrimination, leading several federal courts to implement nationwide preliminary injunctions against the practice. Congress repealed the offending provisions, and the farmers were vindicated for this blatant racial bias. … Read more
I’m not sure how many men do the majority of the grocery shopping, but in my house, it is me. Even before my office left me and I started working from home, my office job made it convenient to stop at any number of destinations to pick up groceries or household items. I’d be a … Read more
I wonder if former FBI director James Comey’s wife’s first name is Eve? In the Bible story, Eve, after being persuaded by the serpent to eat the forbidden apple from the Tree of Good and Evil in the Garden of Eden, persuades Adam to eat the apple as well. Because of their transgression, God expells … Read more
To Marxists, everything is inherent and inevitable. Human beings are inherently constrained to act as they do by their prevailing material conditions, leading inevitably to class conflicts.

The recent matter of white South African refugees waving American flags upon their arrival in the United States has more triggers than a gun store. Lefties are losing what passes for their hive mind. And I can’t help but wonder if Mr. Trump and his crew did not orchestrate this process to allow Dems to … Read more
Don’t expect them to admit that you were right. About what? Raising the minimum wage for tipped employees would result in lost hours, fewer jobs, higher prices, and restaurant closings. If you are reading this, assuming you are not some progressive troll, you knew that. The real minimum wage is zero, which is where more … Read more
Seeking signatures for an important MAHA letter A battle for our health currently centers on the use of pesticides and other chemicals in American farming.

Last week, Moody’s Ratings lowered the United States credit rating. Fitch Ratings and S&P Global Ratings had already lowered the US rating. This new downgrade was driven by Congress’s failure to make any efforts to reduce the almost 37 trillion dollars national debt. When Moody’s made its announcement, the House Budget Committee was scrambling to … Read more

It’s no wonder that the approval ratings for the Democrat Party remain at record lows. Party leaders can’t seem to come up with an agenda that isn’t devious, deceptive, and self-serving. More often than not, their political strategies are just plain bizarre. Who can forget their “defund the police” fiasco? During the 2020 presidential election, … Read more
Late in the last century, theater goers were jolted when a character in the X-Files movie declared that the Federal Emergency Management Agency can allow “the White House to suspend constitutional government upon declaration of a national emergency.” If the same line was used before thoughtful movie audiences nowadays, the response might be bitter cat … Read more
Real Clear Wire The Secret Service may try to force former FBI Director James Comey to answer pointed questions into a social media post he issued depicting an image of “8647,” but a U.S. attorney whom President Trump appointed will determine whether to prosecute Comey over the post.

RealClear Wire It’s no secret that the Republican’s “Big Beautiful Bill” plans to axe large swaths of mandates and billions of dollars in subsidies directed at achieving a so-called “energy transition.” If that budget axe falls, it will be the proverbial third strike that puts to rest the idea that the U.S., never mind the … Read more
