Sandy Cortez’s squad has had some attrition issues lately. Ironically, they fell off Team Marx via the same tactic Cotezz had tried to get them there in the first place.

Will Local Media Resolve to Be More Balanced in 2025?

Tue, 2024-12-31 17:00 +0000
If you read my 8 AM post this morning, you’ll know I don’t make resolutions at New Year’s because the idea behind them is part of my everyday. That does not diminish the opportunity to use the cultural paradigm of a calendar flip to leverage improvements among bad actors, be it misfeasance or malfeasance. I’m ... Read more

A New Year And Another Day

Tue, 2024-12-31 13:00 +0000
New Year’s Eve is the premier alcoholic consumption holiday on the planet (even where it is banned or prohibited).

Unity at a Barber Shop

Mon, 2024-12-30 17:00 +0000

Freedom Is the Only Way to Beat Authoritarianism

Mon, 2024-12-30 15:00 +0000
Andy Kessler writes in his latest Wall Street Journal column that the U.S. “is strong precisely because we don’t all think the same way.

My headline quotes Nicolas Barry. He’s America First Legal Senior Counsel, and he points out the problem the Trump administration will need to wrestle with if it intends to ‘Shatter the left-wing censorship machine.’ You can fire public employees (it is not always easy, but it can be done), investigate them for suppressing protected speech, ...
