Maria Biery, writing at The American Conservative examines the issue of liberal indoctrination during school. In my own experience, during my years at a public high school, I had […]
Trump to Gunowners: “I am going to come through for you”
After eight years of open hostility to gun owners from the Obama administration, President Trump is reversing course and using the government’s power to protect the second amendment rights of Americans, not to threaten them.

A Way Forward for Trump

It’s hard to argue with […]

Why Does this Harvard Law Professor Want Trump Impeached?
My friend Gene Healy from the Cato Institute calls Laurence Tribe the “dean of con-law [constitutional law] professors,” but can’t understand Tribe’s fascination with impeaching President Trump.
