The 2018 election aftermath is a flat, dry wasteland with the sun-bleached skulls of of the defeated dotting the desolate landscape. At least, that's how it seems to be portrayed on Twitter. Predictions: Correct! My predictions from election day—which were really nothing more than the conventional wisdom—turned out to be correct. With a handful of […]
Today is Election Day 2018, unless you're a Democrat, in which case it's tomorrow. The nice thing about running your own site, is that that old, lame joke doesn't get you banned.

From 5 p.m. to 6 p.m., we'll talk to Craig DeLuz of the Firearms Policy Coalition about California gun laws, lawsuits against those […]
Yesterday I went on the Dave Congalton show on 920 KVEC to discuss Donald Trump's First 100 Days in office. As is the usual, I always enjoy talking with Dave and often the callers give me good reason to laugh—sometimes in agreement and sometimes…well, you know.
