Restrictive Schooling Imperils Our Children1
Last week, my sons’ school went into lockdown. It wasn’t a drill. There was a real threat. Two high school-aged students, a boy and a girl, were discussing an alleged fight on social media when one of them wrote, “I’m shooting up the school at 9.” Thankfully, someone reported this information to the school, and the

Fake Government Statistics1
The Bureau of Labor Statistics recently admitted that 818,000 fewer jobs were added from March 2023 to March 2024 than previously reported.

- September 26, 2024
Matt Walsh has firmly established himself as a professional troll. I don’t use the term in a derogatory way.
