Why is local government so bad?Councils are currently under attack here in at least two areas: their performance in delivering water, and their non-performance in allowing the delivery of housing. There's still argument about their delivery of the former (and long may that argument continue), but their performance in the area of housing could only with great generosity be even called "dysfunctional." (A better term might be "disastrous.") This non-performance is not unique to Enzed. Nor to the particular jobs they're asked to do. It's worldwide, and universal -- which poses the question: how come local governme... read more

As is usual after a general, midterm or, in this case, an off off year spate of elections, the Democrats lose (legitimately, this time) and the usual circular firing squad begins. White "progressives" get out the cat o' nine tails and start flogging black voters for not coming out in sufficient numbers (a non-starter, as that same black voting bloc gave us control of the Senate by sweeping the Senate races in Georgia January 5th).

The out of touch leftist mediaStacy Lennox: Watching the hysteria on MSNBC and CNN as the election returns rolled in last night was almost as fun as election night 2016.

They pull almost as many eyeballs as a moderately successful YouTube commentator. Joe Rogan makes them look like amateurs. ...

'X' Zone Broadcast Network - Greg Lawson and His Roswell Book
Greg Lawson was the guest today. He is a former police officer, former soldier, former airman and former sailor. He has been studying the paranormal for decades, and Greg Lawson has a special interest in the Roswell UFO case. His book, *Roswell: The After Action Report* is different from the other books in that he attacks the question as a police investigator rather than as a UFO researcher. It means that he comes at the case from, well, a different perspective.
