More information coming in about the Uvalde shooting. Something's amiss. Police officers with rifles instead stood and waited in a school hallway for nearly an hour while the gunman carried out the M...

I think the mistrust that exists now is the greatest predictor of a coming National Divorce. While politicians have always been relatively untrustworthy, it has historically been the media that could...

I can understand the fear of censoring as it would create a bad precedent. However, historically, the West has valued truth over falsity, and freedom to make decisions based upon true information. W...

That's one of the big issues if America broke up and formed multiple nations. Since the media still crosses borders, the people in "Trumplandia" (as we'll call it) would still be exposed to leftist n...

Notice how they phrase it: he should be charged "with a crime", but they don't specify what. People are generally ill-informed about the law. If you ask the public if hate speech is against the law,...

Unless you're talking about antique guns, my guess is you're investing in some of those based on scarcity in case of a zombie-apocalypse-like event, which case their value would skyrocket. However, t...

What do you think of the argument that because those in the military must be trained first, they are in a decidedly different situation than civilian 18-year-olds? And therefore more trustworthy with...

I have come up with an idea which I think deserves some exploration. It's safe to say that some of the people most inclined to engage in political radicalism are the youth, particularly those in thei...

So in other words, looks like the U.S. is getting its own digital currency.

So I think it's clear he's keeping the price of gas high in order to push the Green New Deal through in an extra-legislative, round-about way. The Russia-Ukraine War provided the pretext for the rise...
