Right-wing news site TownHall.com was one of the original conservative entertainment complex outlets founded in the late 1990s, long before the left got its digital act together.

Today is the 45th Anniversary of Martin Luther King Jr.’s assassination and this week was the 500th anniversary of Juan Ponce de León’s landing.

The two congressional members toured the runway enhancement/expansion at Fort Lauderdale/Hollywood International Airport on Monday and talked about their support of the progress […]
Today is the 500th Anniversary of Juan Ponce de León’s landing in Florida. The landing is believed to have been near the Fountain of Youth just north of St Augustine, and for historical purposes we will stick with that even though the landing may have been as far south as present day Brevard County. Today […]
Excellent investigative piece from Mother Jones.
Jeb Bush left the Governor’s office over six years ago, yet his influence continues to dominate the legislative agenda of the state GOP. This week’s vote on the “Parent Trigger” bill will be just the latest salvo in a nearly two decade battle to save Florida’s schools from Jeb Bush’s political agenda. The national and […]
Each economic downturn in the U.S. inspires a slew of books about the country’s decline. The current crop has been called, “Declinism’s Fifth Wave,” by author and publisher, Josef Joffe.
