On Today’s Morning Update, I talked about the failed security footprint at Brown University and gun-free zones. Incompetent or not, the fools dancing around the microphones in the Island of Rhode could have prevented this if someone besides the shooter was armed. It turns out the shooter is alleged to be a former Brown student, ... Read more

As I reported, or perhaps opined, on this week’s edition of GrokTALK!, Democrats are talking about affordability around a mouthful of policy objectives that do the opposite. And as noted here, “A Democrat wouldn’t know affordability if it bit them in the ass. Not one thing they propose, have done, or might do makes life ... Read more

Are you wondering why the Republican Senate has accomplished almost nothing of Trump’s legislative agenda? If not, you should be. And here is why the feckless Republicans again fail the 80 million voters who returned Donald J. Trump to the White House as the 47th President of the United States. Simply put, there is the ...

New Hampshire’s public schools have problems. No matter how much money we pour into them, the results get worse. Money, therefore, mathematically, economically, academically, and scientifically, is not the answer. Money, practically speaking, leads to worse outcomes. This fact aligns two problems in a common solution. Schools are the reason why property taxes are so ... Read more

I have always had a problem with media celebrities who elevate themselves above the event they are covering. This unfortunate occurrence can happen whether it’s a news or a sporting event.

A common myth about American history is the one in which a handful of so-called “founding fathers” in the 1780s declared that America would create a “wall of separation” between religious institutions and government institutions.

A few years into my now nearly eighteen years in the political blogging trenches, the cultural Marxist wingnuts running the Democrat Party (in my state, in this instance) promoted a bathroom bill. It would permit men who think they are women to use the ladies’ room. It failed, but my initial reporting included what I thought ... Read more

There are no redeeming qualities to Representative Al Green (D-TX).
