From the attempted silencing of Tucker Carlson and others to attacks on our way of life - socially, economically, politically and more - it's a fair question and one that any American ignores at their own peril and at that of everyone or everything for which they care.

  • Doubling Down on Double Standards?
    Political Pursuits' Lou Ann Anderson and Planet Logic’s Lynn Woolley review the week’s news with an eye on the hypocrisy and karmic implications that loom.

    From newly-minted House of Representatives Speaker Kevin McCarthy to Joe Biden’s ever-growing classified document drama, they cover it all. Even a seemingly rigged (unless you are Fox News!) Brazilian presidential election and months of citizen protests (Fox News doesn't tell you about that!!) culminating in what’s being termed a J6-style “insurrection.” And indeed there are similarities -- provocateurs and a federal government playing its own nefarious role.

    Just two weeks in to 2023, we’re off to a dizzying pace. Join Lynn and Lou Ann to hear more.

  • Temple ISD Campaign Shows Tricks and Truths of Bond Elections
    Bond elections are interesting animals. Local governments generally embark upon a best-foot-forward approach in convincing voters to take on new debt (i.e., higher taxes) ostensibly "for the good" of the community. But is that always the case? Lou Ann, Lynn Woolley and Stuart Speidel provide analysis of just how local governments work to sell taxpayers on increased bond liability. With school districts being the entity type that borrows more than any other local government category, Temple ISD's current campaign serves as a great example in discussing the tricks and truths of bond elections.
