By Bruce Bialosky While watching the election returns in Virginia, the analysts — you know those people with those slick boards which move pictures with the flick of a finger — were talking about what a shock it was that a Republican was favored on the issue of education. At this time in America, why […]
By Neland Nobel Many people on the political Left don’t seem to understand the deep skepticism with which many Conservatives view government health policy. They believe Conservatives are anti-science. In the last few days, we have been provided a very good example of what is wrong with government policy and it is worthwhile reviewing while many […]
By Cole Lauterbach Only eight states in the country have more freedom than Arizona. That’s according to the nonprofit CATO Institute’s annual Freedom in the 50 States report, which compares states based on several different aspects of autonomy and choice in respective states. The CATO Institute is a libertarian public policy think tank that promotes […]
By Joe Bastardi Maybe it is all just a big Coincidence — Covid and Climate. I have 2 chapters in my book on this matter. The book was written in March and April of 2020 so it predates the evolution of what you see (btw it is available here and it is stocking stuffer size, sort of). Keep […]
By Craig J. Cantoni My wife and I shop for groceries and other essentials at four different stores in the City of Tucson, although we live a few miles outside of city limits and there are closer stores, including a Whole Foods, which is too expensive for our frugality. One of the four stores is […]
By Benjamin Yount A former Wisconsin Supreme Court justice who is leading one of the investigations into the state’s 2020 elections says it’s clear to him there is a cover-up going on. Former Justice Mike Gableman told the Assembly’s Committee on Elections on Wednesday that the state’s Elections Commission, its administrator, and the mayors of […]
By George Liebmann The rejection of a “compelling state interest” test will remove abortion from national politics. A simple Baltimore lawyer here tenders a short opinion to dispose of Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, the abortion case from Mississippi in oral arguments before the Supreme Court today. This case presents the question: “Whether all […]
By Ryan McMaken In discussions surrounding the world’s monetary systems today, there is usually one thing almost everyone can agree on: that money should be controlled by the organizations we call “states” or “sovereign states.” Nowadays when we say “the US dollar” we mean the currency issued by the US government. When we say “the British […]
By Rick Moran Senator Joe Manchin announced he would join all 50 Republicans in the Senate in voting for a resolution of disapproval that would roll back the OSHA vaccine mandate. The Congressional Review Act (CRA) allows for a majority of Congress to disapprove of any agency rule. Since the CRA vote is in the […]
By Ralph l. Defalco III When Chinese President Xi Jinping visited Manila, Philippines during a 2018 state visit, he assured all that the two nations had entered a new era of diplomacy that promised to turn the long-disputed areas of the South China Sea into a “sea of peace.” Xi had previously issued an official […]
By Joakim Book The best class I took in all my economics education was called “Cyclical Fluctuation,” taught by Dr. Susan Schroeder at USYD. It was a broad-scope class in the many heterodox ideas that economists have about what causes business cycles, and what makes the output, employment, and financial prosperity fluctuate so wildly around otherwise steady […]
By Craig J. Cantoni A lesson on how a seemingly simple subject is actually quite complex. Statistics don’t lie, but they sure can be cherry-picked. Consider this recent headline from the Arizona Daily Star, the daily newspaper in Tucson: Tucson is still among the best in the West for home affordability Despite surging home prices, […]
By Melanie Israel With the Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization case before the Supreme Court and the ongoing litigation over the Texas heartbeat law, the issue of abortion looms large in our national discourse. Too often, pro-abortion actors make claims that are simply not true, and those claims are repeated without challenge in the media. Therefore, it’s vital that […]
By Neland Nobel It is one thing to describe something. It often is different actually to experience it. In this case we are talking about the Corona virus. I am a 73-year-old, unvaccinated male in generally good health who came down with the Chinese virus almost exactly two weeks ago. It came along just in […]
By David Wojick Spending by federal agencies is governed by the extensive Federal Acquisition Regulations or FAR for short. In response to a Biden executive order, the FAR Council is conducting a silly public inquiry as to how climate change should be factored into federal spending. The Federal Government spends over $6 trillion a year […]

The S&P CoreLogic Case-Schiller Home Price Index from September showed Phoenix home sale prices increased more than 33% from September 2020. Of the 20 major […]
By Tristan Justice Fifteen state financial officers sent a letter to U.S. banks last week noting $600 billion in assets they pledge to take elsewhere if the financial institutions embrace corporate wokeism and prohibit financing to the fossil fuel industry. Led by West Virginia Republican Treasurer Riley Moore, the group promised “collective action” in the […]
By Joe Mueller U.S. District Judge Matthew T. Schelp on Monday ordered a preliminary injunction against the Biden Administration, stopping mandated COVID-19 vaccinations for health care workers in Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) facilities. “Because it is evident CMS significantly understates the burden that its mandate would impose on the ability of healthcare […]
By Clint Bolick Do you support the Constitution? I hope your answer is yes. But an even better response would be to ask: which one? Mention the Constitution and Americans instinctively think of the United States Constitution and its magnificent Bill of Rights. But Americans do not have one constitution. We have 51. And if we […]
