The only thing that the two mayors have in common is a Spanish surname Tucson, Arizona, and Miami, Florida, are similar in some respects and quite different in others.

U.S District Court Judge Steven Merryday issued a blistering rebuke of the Department of Defense and Marine Corps for refusing to grant religious accommodation requests to service members.

While our gallivanting Governor Gavin has been vacationing in forbidden states and running ads in Texas and Florida touting the excellence of California, he and his party once again have given the short straw to our state’s employers. They completely ignore the mass migration of businesses to other states thinking no matter what they do […]

Warning: This article describes crude adult humor. YouTuber J.P. Sears’ skewering of Covid-19 shamanism seemed a bit dated to those at my table at one of his middle America standup shows this summer.

Yasmeen Abutaleb of the Washington Post described him as the “nation’s preeminent infectious-disease expert who achieved unprecedented fame while enduring withering political attacks.” President Biden joined the chorus, commenting that […]

Editors’ Note: One of the first major book reviews undertaken at the Prickly Pear, was a critical assessment of Modern Monetary Theory, which we found not really modern and hardly a theory.
