By Cam Edwards Bearing Arms I have no idea if Sen. Nathan Dahm’s legislation will make it to Gov. Kevin Stitt’s desk, but I’d love to see it happen if only for the meltdown it would cause among gun control activists and the state’s biggest teacher’s union. SB 1699 is short and succinct. In fact, […]
ANALYSIS – But why? In 2023, we had retired Lebanese-American porn actress Mia Khalifa, age 31, being dropped by Playboy and losing a podcast deal for “celebrating” the brutal Hamas terrorist massacre in Israel and calling the Israeli war in Gaza “genocide.” Interestingly, Khalif was raised Catholic, not Muslim. Despite losing some business, being publicly […]
Just how woke is Disney these days? Elon Musk claims to have evidence. The issue here is this diversity, equity and inclusion, or DEI. The idea that we include Americans in our representations of America, yes, sure, obviously. Stories about Americans are worthwhile in and of themselves. But where DEI goes wrong is in that […]

Former President Donald Trump is reacting after the U.S. Supreme Court heard oral arguments on Thursday. The court is considering for the first time the meaning and reach of a provision of the 14th Amendment barring former officeholders who “engaged in insurrection” from holding public office again. “I just finished watching Supreme Court, you know, […]
One of my favorite YouTube video series is ReasonTV’s Great Moments in Unintended Consequences. It looks at past and more modern efforts by governments and other large organizations to solve problems, only to create new problems or even make the original problem worse. And these efforts are always taken on “with the best of intentions” without anyone paying heed to warnings […]
The least plausible candidate for the Democratic nomination has decided to withdraw from the race for the White House. Marianne Williamson, a self-help guru, expressed her gratitude to her supporters before announcing her decision to suspend her campaign for president in a video message. Williamson cited her disappointing results in the primaries as the reason […]
THURSDAY PDB – If you must have the Trump trial in the nation’s Capital, take it out of the heart of DC. Instead of fencing off and fortifying the D.C. courthouse, the author argues, it makes more sense (and is less expensive) to move the trial to a more secure location, such as a military base. There is […]

Haley’s Embarrassing Nevada Loss Will Stain Her Political Record

Bush’s run-in with a checkout scanner? John Kerry’s long running water sport issues? The list of gaffes, bugles, and flubs is nearly endless. But there can be upsides to slip-ups. Everyone makes […]
