🆕 03/21/26 Update: GOOD NEWS! The 2026 legislature is almost complete. We can’t wait to return to our regularly scheduled programming. Thank you to those who have stuck with us during this time and those who have joined our Substack community.

5-Minute Videos from PragerU
We all may not agree with the views, but they’re worth a listen for just five minutes of thought-provoking time.
Who NOT to Vote For. In just 5 minutes, Adam Carolla tells you who NOT to vote for in a time when candidates running for office promise the moon.
How do you spot the candidate that you should run from? (Spoiler alert: It’s the one who says “I’ll fight for you!”)
Don’t just listen to what candidates say or what the opposition or the opposition’s backers say. Get to know your candidates — in person, through town halls, and through their behavior and voting records. The rest is just NOISE and it could destroy our state.
