Poor Facebook. America’s adjudicator of public dialogue is unpopular with just about everyone these days. For those on the left, it was Frances Haugen’s leak about Facebook’s apparent lack of speech controls for Third World users.

My neighborhood near Front Royal, Virginia is home to several deer, nearly all of them does.

There is little doubt that Glenn Youngkin would have lost the Virginia gubernatorial race if he had not attacked Critical Race Theory and rejected the mindset that says boys must be treated as girls if they identify as female.

Germany is adding MORE RISK to its playgrounds. Some of its climbing structures are now three stories high. And who is requesting this? Insurance companies! They want kids to grow up “risk competent.” Ironically, “safety” culture is stunting kids’ risk assessing abilities. “This is fantastic progress in understanding childhood as the right time for children
