This blog launched on February 12, 2006. My first post was the next day. This began as a group blog for the WMU College Republicans. The other contributors to this blog moved on to bigger and better things.
In the early years, we covered the inanities of college life, including from the administration, student government, student newspaper, and campus leftists. I also covered local, state, and national politics. The years 2006-2013 are summarized in articles on the sidebar at right.
2006: The Year at Western
I began covering local and state elections in 2006, and that coverage has continued to this day. The decline of local journalism has made it harder to find good information on local elections. This isn't easy for me, and it must be harder for those without political connections.

I wrote a series of posts trying to explain basic political ideas to my readers.

Specific Political Issues
Some posts were just quick links to other articles with minimal commentary. Others were more substantial, and took more time to write. I archived some of my favorite articles on this blog, which can be seen on the sidebar at right.
The best of The Western Right: 2006
I archived some interesting articles on my old blog Conservative Digest Weekly, and copied the "Political Updates" over here.
Conservative Digest Weekly
Since 2020, I have mainly been writing about the politics of the judiciary, aggregating news articles and doing some data analysis.
Occasionally, I have done a deep dive on a political issue. One example is the 2012 GOP primary in MI-6 between Fred Upton and Jack Hoogendyk.
Fred Upton's Smear Campaign
Perhaps the best work I did was my work on 2020 election conspiracies. I wrote a series of posts on individual topics, and combined them into one comprehensive article.

Many of my posts are also copied to RRH Elections. I won't promise another 20 years, but I will keep spreading truth when I can.
