At the 55th Annual Governor’s Buffalo Roundup in Custer State Park in South Dakota, the bison aren’t the only draw this year. Governor Kristi Noem, with an ever-rising profile in the Republican Party, joined cowboys and cowgirls on horseback for the September 25th festivities.

Oklahoma State University is using its wireless network to track students, promising to delete all information from the system after seven days. Students at Oakland University in suburban Detroit are asked to wear the BioButton, a quarter-sized...

I will say this over and over for as long as the riots are engulfing our major cities, if you are driving and come across a roadway blocked by Black Lives Matter and ANITFA domestic terrorists, do not stop.

Since Trump has vowed to nominate a woman to the Supreme Court, his shortlist of candidates has been reduced to just a few highly female judges. Signs were initially pointing to Amy Coney Barrett, but a new candidate has emerged from the shadows as a front-runner for the coveted nomination: Tedina Cruzette. "I had never heard of this Tedina before," said Trump. "But she is very, very female, which is important, so important. She doesn't have much of a judicial track record, but she seems like a really smart cookie. Loves America. Loves our veterans and law enforcement. And she's...

I have shaped these thoughts like a tree. The trunk is the pursuit of truth. What flowers above includes recognition that war is so often horrific folly. I think both Donald Trump and an earlier America knew that. Is leftist PC mob rule the modern equivalent of Ahab?

OKLAHOMA CITY - Oklahoma is now one of 34 states to be selected for a new federal grant to aid sex trafficking survivors. Over the next three years, $500,000 will be designated to help find temporary housing, work programs, and other needs for those who have been bought and sold in the metro. The unsettling reality is, for every criminal caught, there are even more victims trying to escape the dangers of this hidden crisis. There are also many misconceptions about where the true danger lies. Fifteen years ago, human trafficking was often mistaken for street-level prostitution, in 2020 that’s...

Bloomberg News, which is published in the Washington Post, put out an amazingly shoddy article on why the vast majority of Venezuelan-Americans are planning to vote for Donald Trump. It was little more than talking points to boost Joe Biden. Which pretty much left the Venezuelans out of it. All that was left was an ad for Joe Biden's socialism. The Bloomberg article ran the Washington Post headline of: Florida’s Venezuelan Diaspora Sees Trump as Best, Flawed Hope Flawed. Oh really? Right there you know there are going to be a lot of wet noodles. Yet that doesn't explain the...
