Stated differently, personified in the form of Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris and her running mate Tim Walz, a life-ending threat of America as we know it is real and pote...

Financial markets are tanking, Middle East tensions are escalating and the American political system is in a cycle unlike any other ever seen.

Things like robust competition between candidates, basic consent of the governed regarding rules and process, the opportu...

Look at the madness on college campuses these day with the antisemitic, pro-Hamas protests and ask yourself:  What am I getting in return for my tax dollars that support these left-wing schools?  Then, think about your local schools where the top-heavy administration eats up more of your taxes, and yet so many students cannot read at grade level.  Lou Ann Anderson of Political Pursuits and Lynn Wo...

There’s much to be said for being a happy warrior but after this week, sometimes you just can’t quite get there. Indictments, arrests, nonsensical charges, politically-motivated prosecutions, suspensions of basic Constitutional rights and a multitude of additional assaults to life as we know it visibly looming on the horizon. Political Pursuit’s Lou Ann Anderson and Planet Logic’s Lynn Woolley dis...

America is under indictment! Not just Trump. It’s you, me, our freedoms, our way of life, all we hold dear.

But is that always the case? Lou Ann, Lynn Woolley and Stuart Speidel provide analysis of just how local governments work to sell taxpayers on increased bond liability. With school dist...
