RISE stands for Recovery, Independence, Skills, and Employment: A replacement for Welfare

Dave and Sarah had committed the cardinal sin of being responsible adults. They owned a home. They had a car that was paid off. They had $3,200 in a savings account — money they’d been scraping together for years to have SOMETHING in case of emergency. And now the emergency was here, and the government said, “Sorry, you’re too rich for help.”

The Hunter’s Paradox: More Hunters, Fewer Hurdles… But at What Cost?

**The Hunter’s Paradox:** We want more hunters, so we remove barriers. More online classes. More convenience. More participation. But when the tool in your hands is capable of taking a life, is convenience always the right answer? As a Hunter Education instructor and retired Army officer, I believe knowledge can come from a computer—but safe gun handling must be passed from one human being to another. The future of hunting depends on growing our ranks without compromising the traditions and safety that built them.

You in a heap o’ trouble, girl!

There’s a popular internet meme that we used to think a lack of information made people stupid, but nope, it wasn’t that! We have a wealth of information at our fingertips, but stupid people are still stupid. Public school teachers are supposed to be educated, with at least a baccalaureate degree, and frequently an expectation …

From Camp Perry to National Readiness: Why Military Shooting Teams Matter

For more than 120 years, America’s military marksmanship teams have done far more than chase medals. Every summer at Camp Perry’s Small Arms Firing School, they pass generations of hard-earned knowledge to ordinary citizens—teaching safe firearms handling, precision marksmanship, and personal responsibility. It’s a quiet mission rooted in federal law since 1903, built on a simple idea: a nation is stronger when its citizens are capable, disciplined, and prepared. The trophies are impressive, but the real legacy is American readiness.

The Death of Shop Class: America Can Code an App… But Can’t Fix a Lawn Mower

Can America’s newest graduates explain the difference between a two-stroke and a four-stroke engine? Probably not—and that’s the point. Somewhere along the way, we traded shop class for screen time and mechanical know-how for digital convenience. This isn’t really about lawn mowers or chainsaws. It’s about what happens when a society can build apps but struggles to understand the machines that keep the lights on, the food growing, and the country moving. Maybe it’s time to ask whether practical knowledge still deserves a place in a modern education.

The Clash Over Immigration, Part 4: When Shortsighted Policies Collide

The immigration debate has become so politically charged it is difficult to discern the facts through the rhetoric. Competing influence campaigns project an image of tireless and appropriate effort on our behalf. Yet we cannot help but wonder if their efforts are on our behalf or theirs. Since past motivations speak to the veracity of current promises, we must strip away the layers of misleading rhetoric to determine the truth. A clear examination of immigration history is the solvent we need.

Welcome to Kalifornia: “Idiocracy” is their new Curriculum Guide

California insists it’s teaching culture, not replacing standards. Critics aren’t buying it. They argue that schools should be teaching every student the language of college, careers, and civic life—not spending precious classroom time redefining grammar. A common language has long been one of America’s greatest unifying forces. Respect every culture, absolutely—but don’t confuse lowering standards with expanding opportunity. “Idiocracy” was supposed to be a comedy, not a curriculum roadmap.

Abolitionist Republican

The Republican Party was birthed by Abolitionists who refused to compromise on slavery. They left the Northern Whigs who always compromised. Today, career politician Establishment Republicans always compromise or collaborate cheerfully. Their votes and budgets make a lie of their campaigns as “Republicans” and “Conservatives”. Career politicians made those labels utterly meaningless. Conversely, the Democrats …
