A lot of the history you learned in school is just flat-out wrong. In this episode of Thoughts from Maharrey Head, I take apart one bad historian on nullification and explain why you need to rethink all of the history you think you know. Don Jeffries calls them “court historians,” – establishment academics and scholars…
Where you live, your day-to-day experience gained through interacting with your physical environment, influences your political viewpoint. The Founders realized this.

PHOENIX, Ariz. (July 11, 2016) – The Arizona State House and Senate leadership soundly rejected the principles of the Founding Fathers during the 2016 legislative session. They protected the Washington D.C. status quo by killing 18 bills that would have blocked the federal enforcement of various unconstitutional programs. To make matters worse, most of the…
In April, the Tenth Amendment Center reported on a Michigan Senate bill that would have removed the state from Common Core standards. As originally written, it contained provisions explicitly banning Common Core from being re-implemented under a new euphemism. However, a proposed substitute version of the bill would allow a re-branded version of Common Core…
