By Timothy Sandefur In a major win for Arizona taxpayers—thanks to the work of the Goldwater Institute—a state appellate court yesterday declaredthat Pima County officials violated the state Constitution when they adopted a multimillion-dollar subsidy for the World View company, a business that’s supposed to take passengers on rides to the stratosphere in specially modified high-altitude […]
By Neland Nobel Not too long ago, The Prickly Pear ran a piece, “Don’t Take the Bait”. It suggested that the press and the Democrats were deliberately baiting conservatives to take action that would result in violence, so it could be to discredit conservatism. It went on to recommend that conservatives swear off any kind […]
By Corinne Murdock Editors’ Note: The following information is appalling. The dark money from multiple PACSs connected to wealthy Democrat globalists and major American corporations committed to destroying any Trump-endorsed candidate should be a wake-up call to Arizona voters. Additionally, the connection of Maricopa County Recorder Stephen Richer (who was elected in 2020 on the […]
By Peachy Keenan Hillary Clinton’s 1996 groomer handbook It Takes a Village made the case that parents can’t do it alone; you need an active and involved community to raise your children for with you. “We all depend on other adults whom we know—from teachers to doctors to neighbors to pastors—and on those whom we […]
By Bruce Bialosky I have read a lot of legislation over the years, but never have I read a piece of legislation quite as cynical as California’s AB257 Fast Food Accountability and Standards Act passed by the Legislature and signed by Gallivanting Governor Newsom. The people who created this legislation obviously think we are all […]
By Debra Heine A staff member of Senator Mark Kelly’s re-election campaign was caught on hidden camera telling a Project Veritas Action (PVA) undercover journalist how she lies to obfuscate his position on policy issues like abortion. In the undercover video, released on Tuesday, Evynn Bronson, Mission for Arizona Field Organizer for the Mark Kelly […]
By Kelsey Bolar In the early Spring I began working on a documentary series for Independent Women’s Forum called “Identity Crisis.” The project tells the stories of four mothers whose daughters fell victim to gender ideology, two detransitioners who now warn of the harms this movement is causing, and one mental health professional who rails […]
By The Editors The Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions (HELP) Committee Minority oversight staff on Thursday released an interim report asserting that the “Senate report details ‘substantial evidence’ supporting the theory that the COVID-19 pandemic originated as the result of a leak from the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV). “Experts have proposed two dominant […]
By Erica Mitchell Editors’ Note: The following article should not and must not give Arizona voters any reason to let up on their intention (and citizen responsibility) to actually vote. Most Arizonans vote by mail. Get your ballots in now!! No one should be submitting mail-in-ballots later than this coming Tuesday, November 1st to be […]
By Neland Nobel The recent debate performance of Senatorial candidate John Fetterman in Pennsylvania was revelatory. The man clearly has serious cognitive issues that would make him unable to serve. Yet President Biden said Fetterman’s wife would make a great Senator. This remark seemed to imply that party officials understand Fetterman is not able to […]
By Thomas C. Patterson Editors’ Note: We think the author is spot on – that our political elites, the media, and the public at large are currently living a delusional life. They simply do not recognize the serious nature of our financial situation. The markets however are starting to see the problem. Not only have […]

Trujillo made the statement in a Sept. 13 report, which stated, “Over $68 million invested in our employees through the payment of retention and vaccine […]
By Neland Nobel We have been hard on our libertarian friends this election cycle. We have made our case that we cannot blow the chance to change the balance of power in the Senate for the satisfaction of a protest vote. The Prickly Pear is not alone in this. That is likely why Senator Rand […]
By Neland Nobel As the election looms just ahead, it seems that inflation is the penultimate”kitchen table” issue that is rising in importance to voters. It began with the Federal Reserve publicly stating they wanted inflation above 2%. This was given academic sanction by the Democrats adopting Modern Monetary Theory, which purports that deficits don’t matter […]
By Jordan Conradson Project Veritas Action Releases Undercover Video Of Mark Kelly Staffer Deceiving Independent Voters By Lying About His Radical Left Views On Gun Control, The Border, And Abortion Blake Masters recently destroyed Democrat Mark Kelly on the issue of our southern border in the US Senate debates, and he is gaining ground on Kelly in […]
By Victor Davis Hanson The Republicans were always going to win big in November, regardless of what biased pundits professed. There was likely never a sudden “blue resurgence” or “red collapse” of late summer. Those fantasies were mostly Democratic Party talking points. They were readily regurgitated by the fusion media and biased pollsters. The ruse […]
By Wolf Richter Big drops in San Diego, Los Angeles, Dallas, Portland, Phoenix, Boston. Prices going down faster than they’d spiked? No way. Oops. This is the first month in this cycle that the S&P CoreLogic Case-Shiller Home Price Index, which lags reality on the ground by 4-6 months, is showing house price declines in all the […]
By John R. Ammon The Prickly Pear recently published an article about Senator Nancy Barto running in Arizona Legislative District 4.
