Why is it that the politicians keep referring to America as a "democracy"? How many times have we heard that former President Donald Trump is a "threat to democracy"? Well, yes, we are a democracy. We vote in and out of office our politicians. But more importantly, we are a republic. This is ...
At the time of this writing, the outcome of the presidential race is pretty close to being a coin flip. So what I write is not in any way influenced by who will win in November, since that is unknowable. What is a virtual certainty is that on Nov. 6 roughly half the country will be full of joy, ...
We all know that math scores have been scandalously trending downward for many years, but the folks in the government should at least be able to count. We're finding more and more evidence that the statistics the government is releasing to the public are increasingly suspect and unreliable. It ...

Despite hundreds of billions of tax dollars spent on green energy over the past decade, the world and America used more fossil fuels than ever before in history last year. The electric vehicle movement is stalled out, solar and wind ...
