Larry Arnn, author and president of Hillsdale College, delivered remarks at a reception at the college last November. The speech — or, at least, the adaptation printed in Imprimis — was titled “Today’s Firestorm and the Declaration”. The titular “firestorm” can be seen as resulting from contrary winds, the first being President Donald Trump and […]
“Personnel is policy [and] who a religious organization hires may go to the very character of its religious mission.” — Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals This just happened a few days ago, and it’s definitely worth noting.

“AI mirrors its creator — Grok 4, with its curated data, reflects xAI’s biases, not an objective truth. Its reasoning, while advanced, remains bounded by human design and data, incapable of grasping the totality of existence.” — Grok 3.0 Not sure if I have addressed this in print before, but I have many concerns about […]
The recommended videos below are not, as you probably guessed, TV shows, films, or funny cat videos. (Those are more likely to show up on my “Heroes and Aliens” blog or my Facebook feed.)

I write this post on November 1, the beginning of another round of enrollment into “Obamacare” — i.e., healthcare provided via the deceptively-named Affordable Care Act (ACA), which President Obama signed into law in 2010 (see image). Obama and the Democrats made many promises about the legislation, and Fred Lucas — chief news correspondent and […]
Definition of “The Russian Collusion Hoax”: “The widespread and ultimately unfounded narrative that Donald Trump and his 2016 presidential campaign conspired with Russia to influence the outcome of the election…. The claims originated from a dossier compiled by ex-British intelligence officer Christopher Steele, which was indirectly funded by Hillary Clinton’s campaign and the Democratic National […]
Assuming you have been listening to or reading at least some of the news headlines these past several days, you are aware of the latest budgetary battle in Congress to keep the federal government funded and open for business. One of the things the Democrats are insisting on is that certain Biden-era health care subsidies […]
Let’s review in brief… Many on the Left (and perhaps some anti-Trumpers) have run with the claim that Charlie Kirk’s assassin was actually a far-right nutjob from a rival pro-Trump wing competing with Kirk’s Turning Point USA.
