It is definitely misleading to call the moderation of what books are appropriate to be in schools "book banning." People upset about this are the same people who fought to have Dr. Seuss books removed from publication - which is actually a book ban!

There is a disconnect in some people who think this problem could be solved by spending more money. The Atlas Society

Rural hospitals are critical to North Carolina, & access to care is non-negotiable. But hospital funding is complex—govt covers building costs, hospitals enjoy tax exemptions, & they receive insurance payments, Medicare, Medicaid, & patient fees. Yet, we still see high bills for

The narrative is way out of focus on this issue. Not counting the districts' local contributions, the state is sending over $250,000 per classroom of 20 students. This money gets filtered out from the top down, leaving a pittance for the real work being done by our teachers. This

This illustrates our divide. We're all paying for government programs and projects one way or another—whether it's through our federal taxes, state taxes, local taxes, or even inflation, which makes our money worth less over time. Let me give you an example: Think about the

This trope should be called out at every turn. It's a lie. The recent bill passed into law has plenty of flaws, but cutting taxes for billionaires is not in it. This bill maintains the status quo on most taxes, but limits on taxes on tips & on some overtime pay, not billionaires.

Government departments and offices often work at cross-purposes. One pushes aggressive development to drive economic growth, while another grapples with soaring housing costs that displace communities. Some protect farmlands to shorten food supply chains and reduce reliance on

This is just another example of the ignorance some people have of the science of economics: Businesses rely on customers for revenue, with debt or equity as mere liquidity schemes. In Duke’s monopoly, speculation looms—if a $2.5B (e.g., 1,000 MW) project overruns 102% (as seen

In the eyes of an authoritarian, anything they don't control needs their vision of order. I guess we can't expect much from a govt that still thinks it should monopolize the alcohol market. I thought we learned our lesson from the failures of Prohibition. 🤷🏼‍♂️

BREAKING: Qualified immunity has been DENIED for Gastonia Police cops Maurice Taylor III and Cierra Brooks. Shortly after we released the video footage of Taylor and Brooks assaulting and wrongfully arresting veteran Joshua Rohrer, and tasing his PTSD service dog Sunshine (who later died

The Trump Economy grew by 1.2%, with inflation shrinking by .7%. The Milei Economy grew by 6.4%, with inflation decreasing by 80%. Trump 2.0 has added to the debt of the US. Milei has decreased the debt in Argentina. Javier Milei’s libertarianism beats Trump populism.

Communism is not a new idea. It is the oldest. It is the primitive doctrine of the tribe. The belief that the individual exists to serve the group, that wealth belongs to all, and that need is a moral claim. It is the system of the witch doctor and the warlord, of forced labor,

A glaring fact about coal ash is that CP&L had requested to relocate this material when they decommissioned the Dan River Steam Station coal ash site. The political machine of then-governor Bev Perdue, which was maintained by Gerrymander techniques far worse than today's district

America when?

Harsh Truth. The State doesn’t need your consent, only your cooperation.

Thomas Jefferson wanted the official motto of the US to be "Rebellion to tyrants is obedience to God." When it was rejected, he appropriated it for his own seal.

"Politely asked?" It was a straight up violation of the first amendment under threat of imprisonment – including surfers in the ocean. Next, you'll call the Boston Massacre a gentle request to disarm! Remember what 1776 was all about! Happy 250, y'all!

250 years ago todav Adam Smith gave the world a fantastic insight That order, cooperation and prosperity are not ordered from above by priests or chiefs but emerge from the social interactions of ordinary people. t's the most revolutionary and benign idea ever proposed.
