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 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 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.
