Want to find real election fraud? Look at the history of Kansas, United States in 1800s
The late Congressman John Lewis, a civil rights warrior in the Martin Luther King Jr. mold, chucked a rock at Kansas during his last year in office when he said there were more UFO sightings in Kansas than allegations of provable voter fraud. Lewis died before seeing the 2020 presidential election’s aftermath. Former President Donald […]

CRT Is Not Ban-ible
John Micek’s June 4, 2021 column in my local newspaper was, “Fight Over Critical Race Theory Hits the Statehouse.” My classical liberalism background tells me this is a form of First Amendment blasphemy. At least it should be. Because journalists are not getting enough constitutional law in their J-schools, those like Micek often step into […]
Illegal Hunting of Mallard
Illegal Cancel Culture Hunting!! They have shot Mallard Fillmore. The cowards. The wonderfully conservative and a funny comic strip by Bruce Tinsley has been shot by the Gannett Newspapers. Cancel cultured. We’re not sure whether Tinsley received a last cigarette before he was blindfolded and stood against the wall. The barbarians. The Gannett’s brass, idiots […]

Most westerns feature the cowboy as the self-reliant loner who comes along in time to save a town from marauding outlaws, like Shane with […]
