Socialism is a Nightmare
Larry Elder discusses the growing preference among Democrats for a socialist president by 2028, expressing shock at the apparent lack of understanding regarding the history and consequences of socialism.

Why Isn't The Education Freedom Tax Credit Nationwide?
Governor Glenn Youngkin announced the launch of Empowering America's Parents, a 501(c)(4) organization that advocates for nationwide adoption of the education freedom tax credit.
