The name of American, which belongs to you in your national capacity, must always exalt the just pride of patriotism more than any […]
— Published with Permission of FreeRangeReport.com — California environmental policy has forced the diversion of water from agricultural lands for years to instream flow, purportedly to help several species of fish, most infamously the Delta Smelt.

In a 2015 Senate Judiciary Committee hearing, one senator noted that “The Federal Register indicates there are over 430 departments, agencies, and sub-agencies in the federal government.” Obama’s presidency produced 81,640 total pages of regulations and rules for 2016 alone, a record.

My letter to the editor, as submitted to Spokesman-Review: In modern American politics, the word “racist” and its synonyms are often used in the same way “communist” was in the 1950s: to smear and destroy political opponents. Last week, we saw it play out in Spokane County. The word strikes fear in the hearts of […]
