In the years before 1763, the British Empire—although in theory a unified entity—was really a federation. The central government in London controlled foreign affairs and the imperial post office. It also regulated trade with foreign countries and among units of the empire. But otherwise, the 13 future American states were largely self-governing. In each, the ... Read more

Today, on your Morning Update, a private citizen is suing the Associated Press (AP) over stories that harmed his business by portraying it as an illegal activity.

I was talking with a friend who is starting up her podcast again, and she will be focusing on Jewish people returning to the homeland, and there are many more than you would think, as well as young Jews returning to their faith. The first scenario, not so much, but the second is a phenomenon ... Read more

Plenty going on in the world, but not enough time or space to talk about all of it, so here are a few more links from my jarhead friend.

Since 1991, Vermont’s only member of the US House of Representatives has been either a socialist who couldn’t run as one (until now) or a Democrat (same difference). It has one district, the entire State of Vermont. You can’t gerrymander that. And despite its open borders and sanctuary city-like leanings, the state is still 93% ... Read more

“It is in the Interest of Tyrants to reduce the People to Ignorance and Vice.” Samuel Adams warned us – tyranny is built on people who lack knowledge and strong morals. That’s because he knew freedom is built on the opposite foundation. “For they cannot live in any Country where Virtue and Knowledge prevail.” He ... Read more

Gender affirming care is one of those left-wing-isms. Without thought or study, you might say, well, a urologist does that for men, and a gynecologist does that for women. No one reading this thinks that is what they mean, but the word “care” is what truly misleads, and “affirming” is completely out of context. You ... Read more

My first ever order of zinc, as a separate nutritional supplement, was in April 2020. At that time, news sites were overflowing with COVID gloom & doom, much of which made no logical sense at all, so I began serious research, which led me to conclude that we needed to supplement our diets with much ...

Maybe this is just another attack on women. After all, they want men to undress in your daughter’s locker room in high school, and to injure your daughter badly on the basketball or volleyball court. They want your once champion collegiate swimmer, who is poised to win an NCAA individual title, to stand on the ... Read more

Today on the Morning Update, the SPLC interim Grand Poobah had to defend his organization before Congress, and while it’s galling that the SPLC funded hate and profited from that, and put groups like Moms for Liberty on the Hate Map, it’s not what they did, but how they did it. Watch on the ‘Grok ... Read more

In the midst of unprecedented national division, Republicans and Democrats have apparently found something upon which they agree: that US moral values are “poor.” A May 1-17 Gallup survey offered a sobering assessment of Americans’ negative views of their country’s moral trajectory. For Better or Worse Gallup reported a 12-percentage-point increase (to 56%) from last ... Read more

Breaking news. A UK Supermarket chain is racist. Yes. Sainsbury’s, a dominant retail outfit in the UK that runs just under 1,500 locations (plus a few hundred others under different names), is banning brown eggs.
