Over the next few years you’re going to be tested. Socialism — the politics of envy, parasitism, and entitlement — is growing in popularity again. Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren have recently been its elder cheerleaders. Now socialism is being given a fresh makeover.

The death of Mollie Tibbetts is a tragedy, and it’s one that highlights important concerns about this nation’s immigration policy, as well as the intolerable regularity of violence against women.

"I didn't sleep at all last (Monday) night because I was at the courts on the hearing (Monday), and it just brought back more m...
PORTALES — At first glance, the Eastern New Mexico and Missouri S&T football teams don’t seem to be all that similar. Offensively alone, it’s like night and day. The Greyhounds once again return their “Ground Strike” option offense, while the Miners run a high-powered, uptempo spread offense, in which they throw it as well as they run it. However, despite these differences, these football teams may not actually be so different, according to ENMU coach Kelley Lee. “They rem... Full story
