“For our family, learning didn’t follow the traditional school calendar, and the results look nothing like traditional school outcomes. Years ago, when I started homeschooling our three kids, I made the rookie mistake of trying to replicate the traditional school system. Up early, hours of instruction, correcting pages of work, and the outcome was inevitable. I soon discovered that not only was this time consuming and exhausting; it was also unnecessary. I was fortunate to have a veteran homeschooler guiding me when we started. She gently nudged me to consider what a more bespoke education could look like. We intentionally chose a family-centric calendar over an institutional one, and before long, we were schooling a couple of hours a day while holding space for interests, hobbies, and relationships.” (05/01/26)

“I was kind of disappointed to see that more hadn’t changed in the past 12 years in libertarian-land. On the one hand, there was open acknowledgement that the far-right was a salient problem. On the other hand, that problem was blamed on Russian interference, antifa, and the far left rather than low social mobility, status loss, or inequality. On the one hand, they’ll talk about how it takes five years to open a standard-issue coffee shop in Madrid. On the other hand, they won’t mention the lobbyists the transnational coffee and retail corporations hire to write these rules. For some reason. At the same time, I was super impressed with what Students For Liberty has been able to accomplish in terms of their chapters.” (05/01/26)

“A southern California woman is facing an additional charge of involuntary manslaughter after an 81-year-old man died from his injuries after being struck by the woman’s teen son while he was riding an e-motorcycle, prosecutors said on Friday. On 16 April, Tommi Jo Mejer’s 14-year-old son was riding a Surron e-motorcycle and doing wheelies when he hit Ed Ashman, according to prosecutors. … ‘This mother essentially handed her 14-year-old son a deadly weapon, and despite multiple warnings of the dangers, continued to let him illegally ride an e-motorcycle until he finally killed someone,’ the Orange county district attorney, Todd Spitzer, said in a statement.” (05/02/26)

“David Morens, a former top advisor to COVID Czar Tony Fauci was indicted this week and ‘charged with conspiracy against the United States; destruction, alteration, or falsification of records in federal investigations; concealment, removal, or mutilation of records; and aiding and abetting,’ according to the Justice Department press release. Morens allegedly helped top federal health officials cover up the potential role of federal grants in spurring the COVID pandemic. … Fauci doesn’t need to worry about getting indicted since President Joe Biden, on his last morning in office, pardoned any crimes that Fauci might have committed in the previous decade.” (05/01/26)

“‘We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.’ — Declaration of Independence … No, our Founders were not totally consistent with the above principle, and frankly, America never has been. But to understand their failings in the matter, we must comprehend the age in which they lived, the ‘zeitgeist’ they grew up in. Very, very few Americans today understand it, and the hypocritical Left condemns our Founders for it. This column aims to show the current utter hypocrisy of today’s Democratic Party, and please be patient, reader, we will arrive there by and by.” (05/02/26)

“Taiwan’s President Lai Ching-te has arrived in Eswatini, days after his government said a trip had been cancelled due to China pressuring African countries to stop him flying over their territories. His visit to Eswatini – Taiwan’s only diplomatic ally in Africa — followed ‘days of careful arrangements by the diplomatic and national security teams,’ he said, without giving further details on how he reached the country. China described the visit as a ‘stowaway-style escape farce.’ China [pretends Taiwan is] part of its territory with no right to state-to-state relations. Images showed Lai being welcomed by Eswatini Prime Minister Russell Dlamini as he walked past a guard of honour. Taiwan’s delegation also included Foreign Minister Lin Chia-lung and National Security Council Adviser Alex Huang, according to its presidential office.” (05/02/26)
