It is a new year, but some things never change. The sun will rise in the east and set in the west. We’ll all die one day. And Dennis Prager will create completely false narratives to promote Donald Trump and his own grifter business ventures, like Prager U.  Dennis Prager is very sad about the […]

Oren Cass wrote one of the worst op-ed’s the New York Times has ever published. That is no small feat. His premise is that we spend too much money (and time) preparing college-bound students and do too little for vocational education in our public schools. I argue that his thesis illustrates how deeply conservatives misunderstand […]

Something notable happened this week that did not involve another Donald Trump scandal or twitter absurdity (those happened too). The first-ever charter school teachers strike took place in Chicago. The teachers at Acero (who is Chicago’s largest charter school system and runs 16 schools) are demanding higher pay, increased diversity among teaching staff int heir […]

I like Crooked Media. A lot. I listen to a lot of their pods several times a week– especially Pod Save America, Pod Save the World, and With Friends Like These.

Like […]

The disappearance and suspected murder of Saudi dissident and Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi might be the spark that finally lights the Saudi powderkeg the United States has been sitting on for decades. If you don’t know the story, check out the New York Times wonderful reporting on it. The ascension of Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed […]

Holding incompatible beliefs should give people pause. In American politics, it rarely does. Most people save this for the big picture issues– like being pro-life and pro-death penalty– but Dennis Prager isn’t most people. He’s a real-life troll. Prager, loyal hack that he is, sprang to the defense of Brett Kavanaugh with his usual combination […]

Today’s post is going to be a little different than my norm. Nothing historical or political. Instead, I wanted to write about something very personal. My home. I’ve been too busy to write much recently. My company is in a mad dash to finish as many projects for our client as possible before our contract […]
