Aside from a Christmas piece written by my dear friend and colleague, Jack Balkwill, which will be published Friday, giving those who can time to act on it, I am taking an extended holiday break. Depending on how things go, I will be back to publishing Intrepid Report again in January but can’t give an exact date right now. With any luck, it will be January 2 or January 9, 2023.

Murphy’s Law has descended again
It turned out to be premature to say Intrepid Report would be back to publishing this week. I will make no prediction this time but I’ll be back as soon as possible. My apologies. Continue reading →
Murphy’s Law has descended again
I am taking the week off to deal with a vehicle that refuses to start, a printer that won’t pint and Hurricane Ian. Three for three, eh? Continue reading →
So far, this is not my year. First, I pulled some muscles in my right leg, making it difficult to walk, never mind driving. Then I had to replace my water tank at the well. Murphy wasn’t done yet. The zone board on my HVAC burned out and, in the wee hours of Saturday, the auxiliary water pump in the house blew a valve Continue reading →
I hurt my leg getting up yesterday morning, making it impossible for me to stand or sit in one position for more than a few minutes. In addition, the painkillers I have been taking cause me to fall asleep. Between the two, it has been impossible to edit and publish articles. Continue reading →
To say I need a break is an understatement. March has turned into a grueling month causing me to put off dealing with personal business, which I can no longer avoid doing, including my federal taxes—April 15 is coming up fast. Continue reading →
Intrepid Report will resume publishing March 7
It’s only fair that I spend time with visiting family. Continue reading →
I am taking a break
May you enjoy this day with friends and family however you celebrate it. Continue reading →
Last week was a grueling week and this one started off no better. Continue reading →
It wasn’t enough for Gov. Greg Abbott to sign a bill banning abortions after six weeks, before women even knew they were pregnant, and giving a green light to anti-abortion vigilantes to file civil suits—with a $10,000 reward if they prevail—against abortion providers and anyone who helps a woman obtain an abortion, on Friday he signed another bill, Senate Bill 4, to make it harder for a woman to obtain an abortion-inducing drug.

Worse than the lies that get us into wars that never should have happened are the liars who know nothing of the history of the countries they are determined to attack. Continue reading →
At last, we are back to publishing Intrepid Report. With any luck, the last six weeks of pain is behind me. Continue reading →
Sometimes there is no winning. This is one of those times. Continue reading →
I am dealing with a sprained Achilles tendon that occurred nearly a week ago. It’s one of the most painful injuries I have ever had. It makes walking difficult and swelling caused my leg to double in size. Continue reading →
Intrepid Report will resume publishing January 4, 2021
We are halfway through the holiday season. Thanksgiving and Chanukah are behind us and Christmas and the New Year are ahead. The biggest celebration will happen on January 20 when Donald J. Trump will be gone from the White House, either voluntarily or forcibly removed. Continue reading →
You know the old saw that says if anything can go wrong, it will. There’s nothing like seeing “no Internet connection” the first thing in the morning when you boot up the computer. Continue reading →
Yes, another interruption. That’s how my life has been going this year. Continue reading →
Unexpectedly, this has turned into a year of interruptions for me, which means that once again I have to take time off to deal with personal matters Continue reading →
I am taking a break to spend time with visiting COVID-19-free family. Continue reading →
A funny thing happened three Sundays ago (Feb. 9). . . Okay, not funny ha-ha. My cat’s overexuberant love bite had infected, doubling the size of my left hand. So it was off to an urgent care facility, where the doc took one look at my hand and said, “TO THE ER. NOW!” That if I didn’t go, I would be in a coma by morning and hauled off in an ambulance and sepsis could kill me. Who’s to argue about that? Continue reading →
Intrepid Report will resume publishing Jan. 1
It’s been another trying year for progressives but whatever you celebrate at this time of year—Chanukah, Christmas, Festivus—you need to take a break from the madness to renew yourselves for what is ahead in 2020. Continue reading →
Tomorrow is GivingTuesday but let’s make December GivingNewsdays to raise the crucial funds that keep Intrepid Report publishing, along with all the other news sites that value independence and freedom, that don’t take advertising, don’t have paywalls and don’t receive funding from foundations or corporations. Continue reading →
Will I be forced to register as a Russian agent?
Posted on January 31, 2022 by Bev Conover
Over the years, as a journalist and newspaper editor, I have been accused of a variety of things, received death threats and even had a National Park Service historian threaten to kill me right in front of my mother (while I shrugged his threat off, she wasn’t amused). Continue reading →
