Here’s a breaking story to raise hackles -- or reinforce your ability to turn the other cheek and practice forgiveness. In the midst of all the wildfires in California, some residents are irate that private firefighters saved Kanye and Kim Kardashian West’s home from the Woolsey blaze. Seriously. Shortly after TMZ tweeted about the efforts on Nov. 12, myriad commenters responded with tweets…

The current crop of multitudinous infernos known as the California wildfires are taking many lives and wreaking havoc. In fact, this latest group of fires is reported to be the deadliest in state history. So one isn’t being flip or dismissive when one writes that it is easy to understand how some California residents might get upset when hearing President Trump criticize federal Bureau of Land…

For 35 years, generations of parents in the Washington, D.C. area have been dropping off their toddlers for play-dates at a local gathering spot. The parents like it, and the little ones enjoy it…so, is it any surprise that the government wants to shut it down? Like a fungus, the spores of government nanny-statism are encroaching into every facet of the people's lives, and the D.C. City…

Imagine you’re in a park with a friend. He doesn’t have lunch, but you’ve got two sandwiches, so you hand him one. Charity at its most basic. Person helping person. He might even reciprocate later by giving you something if you’re lacking, like, say, a pair of tickets to see The Damned in concert -- ‘cause, everybody knows that’s a great way to return a favor. Now imagine you’re in Kansas City…

In this series, we strip away the flimsy veneer of contemporary political rhetoric, and offer long-standing principles, facts, and syllogisms to let you carry something with you. Thus far, we have explored the upper layer of the “gun control” issue, that being the rhetoric and supposed “practical” arguments offered as so-called justification to infringe on the individual right to keep and…

In the first part of this series designed to offer deeper, longer-standing intellectual ammunition for visitors to MRCTV, we looked at many of the popular political myths associated with the deceptively euphemistic term “Gun Control”. Now, we study the supposed rulebook for the federal government, the US Constitution, analyze the “constitutional” arguments of those who push gun restrictions,…

Contemporary political issues come at us so rapidly, it’s easy to get lost in the polar, “us versus them” impulse, so we at MRCTV have decided to take certain hot-button issues and peel away the veneer, to expose or derive the long-standing facts, history, and principles beneath the ever-changing winds of political expediency. We begin with the popular euphemism “gun control”, which is a…

The scariest thing some people saw this Halloween wasn’t a new movie, or a charity haunted house, or even the song list for the new Barbara Streisand album. It was political correctness, political correctness that has gotten so out of control it’s led to intelligent adults acting out of fear rather than reason and discourse. A new story from The College Fix highlights the problem, as members of…

One of the best aspects of the insoluble self-destruction of the collectivist pop news monolith is that their over-paid, baby-screaming, cringe-inducing stars are so desperate to push their agenda they seem to neither see their own stunning biases nor recognize their towering hypocrisy. And Paul Bedard, of the Washington Examiner, just shed light on a new study by the generally left-leaning…

  Apologies for being the bearer of bad news, but this information might be valuable to you. Despite what some might have hoped or expected given the overtures of President Trump and the GOP about reducing the economic burden of the federal government, the U.S. debt is, as is usually the case, skyrocketing. Mike Maharrey spells it out in a piece for The Tenth Amendment Center. The…
