Commentary Two years ago on this day, I posted a piece that was very hard to write. It concerned precisely who was benefiting from the lockdowns, masking, and all that was associated with it, including school and business closures and travel restrictions. As much as we would all prefer for everyone to be concerned about…
The Grassroots Conservative Revolution in South Dakota
Commentary The American Republic was established through the blood of revolutionaries. The preamble of the U.S. Constitution provides the beacon for successive generations of Americans: “We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and…
A Dubious Contribution to Climate Change Alarmism Literature
Commentary On Jan. 30, an article titled “Critical climate thresholds may be nearer than thought: study finds” was posted on Axios.com.

Game-Changer? Tennessee En Route to Reject Federal Education Money
The Associated Press is reporting what well may be an earthquake in the relations between red states and the federal government—specifically, the Department of Education, whose decrees and even its existence are questioned by many conservatives, including former President Donald Trump: “NASHVILLE, Tenn.
