Florida Gubernatorial Election: Swamp Monster Cage Match

Thomas Knapp: On August 23, Democratic primary voters in Florida picked their champion for the November attempt to unseat incumbent Republican governor Ron DeSantis.

Student Loan Forgiveness: Politics, Not Problem-Solving

Thomas Knapp: On August 24, the Biden administration finally announced what pretty much everyone (including me) had been predicting for months:  A new round of “student loan forgiveness” and an extension to the COVID-19-justified “payment pause.” Quick details of the current plan: More than 40 million borrowers will receive some relief. About 20 million will have their … Continue reading Student Loan Forgiveness: Politics, Not Problem-Solving → - by Thomas L. Knapp

Thomas Knapp: In early August, a Nebraska prosecutor charged  a mother and daughter with violating the state’s ban on abortion after 20 weeks.
