[For Kells, and my buddy, Bill: both of whom have tried to make this stiff-necked individual a better person — in spite of himself. Kells, Bill, I hope this reads the way it sounds in my head.] I want to apologize to the readers of the RNL, and more so, to Utah. The exchange between…
Local governmental units are doing exactly what private business was condemned for: When Regal Entertainment Group (RGC) in April blamed ObamaCare for the fact that it was cutting some of its workers’ hours, backers of the law mounted a furious backlash against the theater chain, among other things filling its Facebook page with boycott threats. “Greed and…
The US government, under the control of “progressives” has consciously divided the citizens of America into three distinct economies over the past 150 years.
