Education Freedom Is on Midterm Ballot
On July 4, 2025, President Donald Trump signed the One Big Beautiful Bill/Working Families Tax Cuts Act into law, and it's unfortunate that very few parents know this legislation provides the largest national expansion of K-12 education freedom in our nation's history.

GOP Attempts To Slow Pace of AI and Data Center Overreaction
I'm far from understanding chatbots, chips and AI technology, but I've worked in D.C. long enough to be suspicious when industry giants come begging for government regulations.
In the September 2026 essay "We Must Pace the Frontier," Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei says that AI "could dramatically raise the quality of human life" but that it "...Read more

What Do Black Voters Want?
If Pete Buttigieg is the key to winning more Black votes for Democrats in South Carolina, then Black voters should be very clear about what they really want.
