Here, the very excellent Liberty Classroom undresses the revisionist history books that promote the folly that Teddy, FDR, and Truman are individuals whom our kids should admire. LC tells readers that Teddy Roosevelt issued 1,006 executive orders. When Teddy couldn’t get a treaty through the Senate, he dubbed it an executive agreement and enacted it […]
“Like a War Zone” in Jackson, MS, Part II
You think Jackson, Mississippi Councilman Kenneth Stokes wants the City Council to take a stand against crime? No, against the police.

What Thatcher’s Fall Can Teach the GOP About Change
Is the GOP ready for a big time change? I think so, but this from Peggy Noonan is sticking with me this morning.
