Sometimes we can look at other couples, other families, other lives and wonder why it is all so easy for them while it is so difficult for us.

The Constitution: Every issue, every time. No exceptions, no excuses. Politics is fickle. My guy wins and all is well. Your guy wins and it's the end of the world. It's been that way in the US for over 200 years. The genius of The US Constitution is it provided the structure for states to rally together when necessary but maintain their sovereignty at all times. It was a joy having a conversation with Michael Maharrey, the National Communications Director of The Tenth Amendment Center. Unlike fi...

We discuss Chopin and the history of the Romantic Period of music using Chopin's Piano Sonata No.3 in B minor as the ...
