Opinion: Do We Really Need City Managers?

Thu, 2025-05-29 18:00 +0000
The idea of having a city manager might sound like common sense – someone to handle the day-to-day work of running the city, keeping things organized and professional.

Cardello: The Left Is Making It Difficult To Coexist

Thu, 2025-05-29 10:00 +0000
The Left loves everybody. The Left is for 100% inclusion, so everyone has an equal outcome in this game of life. The only problem is that the Left despises anyone on the Right. We are pariahs who have become cult members and love the color red and the numbers 45 and 47. So, this becomes ... Read more

MacDonald: Democrat Racists

Wed, 2025-05-28 20:00 +0000
Sometimes the ideas line up in good order and, one by one, arrive at the front of the line to find themselves explored as 600 (ish) word recon ops on these pages.
