Some of us started reading at a very early age; for me, it was somewhere around four. When I went to kindergarten, I remember having to go see the principal and read to her, because the teacher wasn't sure how to deal with a kindergartner who already knew how to read, that being the first major hurdle in most of my peers' formal education. I thought I was in trouble. But it all worked out, and while my classmates were learning the ABCs I already knew how to piece together, the teacher, as instructed by the school principal, just let me read.]]>Sat, 17 Oct 2026 15:46:07 -0400<![CDATA[Ward Clark]]>https://redstate.com/wardclark/2026/10/17/winnie-the-pooh-turns-100-still-our-silly-old-bear-n2208270<![CDATA[Every so often the activist media does conservatives a massive solid by publishing a story so brazen about the Left's craven objectives that the appropriate response isn't outrage.

Republican and Democrat candidates alike are burning up shoe leather and issuing talking points with the speed of summer lightning, while activist groups, mostly on the Left (people on the right have jobs) are taking to the streets to agitate, protest, and just generally make a nuisance of themselves.]]>Sat, 17 Oct 2026 14:20:46 -0400<![CDATA[Ward Clark]]>https://redstate.com/wardclark/2026/10/17/no-kings-bans-vote-blue-then-local-groups-push-blue-tsunami-n2208266<![CDATA[The heat is still on Iran. We've been busily documenting Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent's relentless turning of the economic screws against Iran, and all that is working; Iran's currency has collapsed, and the government is broke.

And traditional Italian foods are heavy on the pork. Various traditional Italian pork cuts and ingredients like guanciale, prosciutto, pancetta, and various sausages all add to the glory of traditional Italian foods, and where better to go for great Italian food, than Italy?]]>Sat, 17 Oct 2026 12:35:39 -0400<![CDATA[Ward Clark]]>https://redstate.com/wardclark/2026/10/17/this-is-appeasement-pork-removed-from-italys-school-lunches-n2208262<![CDATA[Since 2022, when Roe v. Wade was overturned through the Supreme Court decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health, a movement known as abortion abolitionists has gained momentum and become progressively louder in the expression of its views. Like Operation Rescue in the late '80s, the individuals who identify with this movement have recently come into the crosshairs of law enforcement and are being arrested and jailed for their peaceful protests. Tyler Newton of Tampa Bay, Florida, is one of those abortion abolitionists, and with the help of Center for American Liberty, he is suing the University of South Florida (USF).]]>Sat, 17 Oct 2026 11:45:00 -0400<![CDATA[Jennifer Oliver O'Connell]]>https://redstate.com/jenniferoo/2026/10/17/abortion-abolitionist-fights-back-against-a-colleges-so-called-free-speech-zones-n2208245<![CDATA[A routine traffic stop in rural Nevada ended with more than 700 pounds of suspected fentanyl and methamphetamine off the streets, an illegal alien facing federal drug trafficking charges, and a sheriff's deputy who probably had no idea what he was about to find when he pulled over a speeding pickup.]]>Sat, 17 Oct 2026 11:36:00 -0400<![CDATA[Ben Smith]]>https://redstate.com/ben-smith/2026/10/17/a-speeding-pickup-700-pounds-of-drugs-and-one-very-good-police-dog-n2208249<![CDATA[It's getting pretty serious with the investigations into Democrat Rep.
