What is with the modern mainstream media? Evil? Arrogant? Disdainful of everyone else? Stupid? Or just clueless?
Or perhaps, all of the above? Let me share an example.
Thanks to Freedom Net Daily for sharing this gem (sarcasm, intended!)
“Is US COVID-19 death count inflated?” was published by The Hill and written by the apparently hapless Chris Talgo,

Our society is becoming more and more impersonal. This long-term trend has entered a new phase, with the over-reaction to the Wuhan Pandemic. Masks are a key part of that.

What happens if no clear winner in November? Not just in Trump vs. Biden vs. Jorgensen et al, but in the House races and the Senate races?
Continue readingMost readers know the parable of the wolves and the sheep. Democracy is a vote with two wolves and a sheep on what to have for supper. A republic is when the sheep is armed and ready to defend herself.

… it’s good to be wise about how we approach autumn and this year’s coming national election.

Not (yet) a war of outright violent combat. (Although violence is increasing, initiated by both sides. Daily.)

And how deep the corruption has become. How much more arrogant, grasping, and cruel those who acts as though they were elected to do anything they want.
Today, let us consider that fatal cesspool by Lake Michigan, Chicago. We find the current elected “massa” is actually a mistress: Lori Lightfoot, dictator of the Windy City, is indeed a “worthy successor” to the likes of the Daleys and Raum Emmanuel. And even a spiritual heir of Honest Abe, the crooked railroad and real estate lawyer who more than anyone else in the 19th Century crushed the hope of these United States.
Continue readingMany libertarian (and even a few conservative) writers have pointed out more than once that the novels 1984 and Brave New World seem to be treated more as “how-to” manuals than the dire warnings their authors intended them to be. Constantly we are being told that government “needs to do this” – which just happens to be something Huxley or Orwell described in one of their distopian science fiction novels.

Some thoughts on “A view of war…”
Here are some thoughts on Margaret Figert’s article, which we published yesterday. I believe that it is a timely article, and worth spreading.
She obviously did not write that with the viewpoint that we are engaged in the great struggle now underway. This was in part my response to her original article.
Many people (and I must now admit to being one) now believe that we here in the Fifty States are in the midst of a civil war. Margaret’s discussion in the articles touches on many reasons for that.
