Sue Ann Hamm, now ex-wife of oil tycoon Harold Hamm, has been awarded about one billion dollars in a recent divorce settlement. And she is appealing the award “on grounds that it grossly undervalues the marital wealth she is entitled to.” On first glance, her appeal sounds ridiculous. Let’s say that she lives another forty […]

She actually let her child play outside. Without direct adult supervision! Call CPS immediately! A very thoughtful and kindly neighbor saw the negligent parent’s boy playing a few feet from his […]

There are few organizations in America (other than possibly government schools or Planned Parenthood) whose works are so contrary to their purported mission or whose followers are more deluded.
