Feature Article by , December 29, 2012

Top Stories of 2012: #4 Story #4 is about America’s current foreign policy, but in this article, my goal is not to recap my previous coverage from this year but to complete it by providing an overview of the big picture. The big picture of our foreign policy is that America is following from behind. [...]

Feature Article by , December 28, 2012

Top Stories of 2012: #5 This is the time I traditionally offer my overview of the top five stories of the year as covered in my newsletter. I can’t say “as covered in TIA Daily” or “as covered in The Tracinski Letter,” because the first half of the year was covered in one, the second [...]

The flagship station is WCHV, 107.5 FM, in Charlottesville, but the show is syndicated throughout Central Virginia, from Richmond to Roanoke, and you can find a local station or listen live online at [...]

The Other Side Gets a Vote

Feature Article by , November 7, 2012

Feature Article by , September 26, 2012

My full argument against Obama and for Romney-Ryan is coming soon, but in the meantime, I want to offer some advice [...]

Is This Good Enough?

Feature Article by , August 29, 2012

Editor’s Note: Later today I plan to send out an overview of last night’s speeches at the Republican Convention, but in the meantime, here is a speech I just gave about an hour ago at the Jefferson Area Tea Party’s “Oust Obama” rally in Charlottesville—our way of welcoming President Obama to our town.
