Something happened to me not so long ago that caused me to revisit an idea made ubiquitous during the height of the Covid response by the Federal government and the states, severally; “non-essential jobs. I had had some work done on my jeep; new rear wheel bearings. Once I paid the bill, I drove …
The effort to reduce violence of all kinds, including gun violence, needs to be led by the states. Here’s how.
Mike Misses Valentines Day Dinner and his attempt to talk his way out of it by pleading to a “lesser included offense,” somehow backfires.

Officer self-initiated activity is the true basis for all successful policing.
This article is the third in a series about policing and public safety policy. Today, we’ll talk about “Broken Windows Policing.” Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani is widely and properly credited with cleaning up the mess his predecessor, David Dinkins left him.

Being stopped and asked to show an ID is somehow a violation of the Fourth Amendment in the Crazy World of Tom Nichols. Better to let 40 million illegal aliens invade our country than inconvenience Tom Nichols for a few seconds.

As our rental car eased into Gettysburg, past the brick-and-plank storefronts selling tourist trinkets, women’s fashion, artisan tacos, funnel cakes, and free CBD samples, my imagination was running amok.
Margaret Sanger and eugenics.
Last we met, we discussed how President Lyndon Johnson’s War on Poverty, his “Great Society,” had led to the impoverishment of the Black Family and its ultimate dependence on those programs.
