In August of 2016 I posted an article titled: I Carry A Handgun Because…  Considering that article since, I have felt the need to address an equally important issue: why women should carry handguns. I hope to speak more directly to the hearts of women than I did in that earlier [Read More]

By: Mike McDaniel    In Testing Tyranny, Part 1,  I focused on how mandatory, high stakes testing is destroying the canon, removing enormous amounts of already scarce classroom time, and leaving little time for not only the classics, but for the kinds of writings and other assignments that actually build [Read More]

Here is a quartet of excellent PragerU videos on such fascinating subjects as healthcare, tyrannical transparency, capitalism’s virtues, and organic foods’ costs.

Keeping The Barbarians Up At Night

June 22, 2017 mcdanielm 0

This is a story that provides a clue to why we will ultimately prevail over the barbarians that wish to drive civilization back to the dark ages.

Seattle: Taxing The Second Amendment And Reason

June 19, 2017 mcdanielm 0

By: Mike McDaniel    Progressivism is, in many ways, a secular religion. While some progressives profess a faith of one kind or another, many do not.
