The following is adapted from a panel presentation on October 9, 2020, in Omaha, Nebraska, at a Hillsdale College Free Market Forum. My goal today is, first, to present the facts about how deadly COVID-19 actually is; second, to present the facts about who is at risk from COVID; third, to present some facts about […]

In today’s understanding of “social justice”, it is axiomatic that differences in populations are attributed to race.

To paraphrase Will Rogers, it ain’t so much what Joe Biden doesn’t know about guns; it’s what he is sure he knows that just isn’t so. Biden considers himself an expert on guns; just ask him. He is completely unaware that he knows nothing, and that what he thinks he knows is just flat wrong. […]

Election Day is less than a week away and that means that if you’re an Arizona voter, you should no longer mail your ballot.

If you have a history of hypertension, diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, breast or prostate cancer, lumbar stenosis, treated grand-mal seizures or any of tens of thousands of conditions in the spectrum of human disease, you have a pre-existing condition.

The Biden/Harris campaign has posted The Biden Plan To End Our Gun Violence Epidemic on their campaign website. To spare you the discomfort of having to read through their proposal to regulate the Second Amendment out of existence, the following are some key features.

A nation that somehow survived the chaos of the 1876 election can survive the expected chaos of the 2020 election. You’re no doubt aware of the predictions of chaos if the presidential election is close, due to several states changing the deadlines for mail-in ballots. If the predictions come true, the nation will survive the […]

Mark Kelly is running for the U.S. Senate in Arizona against incumbent Senator Martha McSally. He tries to portray himself as a “moderate” and often runs television ads without even identifying his Democrat Party affiliation. That is tailor made to appeal to right-of-center and “maverick” Arizona voters. Kelly is doing his best to play down […]
