As COVID19 lockdowns began, we noted that such crackdowns would conflict with religious services. We observed that many contemporary “officials” would have arrested and/or fined Christ and His Disciples for breaching “a public health order” restricting numbers or prohibiting attendance -- even though the gathering was in a private building. Well, now, out of the Windbag City and Chicago Sun…

The saying goes that there is always a silver lining to a dark cloud, and, despite the fact that many of the economic hardships Americans suffer in “COVID USA” find their roots not in any measurable danger of the Wuhan Coronavirus, but stem from data-challenged, fear-mongering, and political shutdowns of products and services, there are potentially positive political changes emerging. One of…

More Californians are standing up to collectivist Democrat Governor Gavin Newsom’s authoritarian COVID19 lockdowns. From San Diego to Sacramento, pro-freedom folks are protesting on the beach and at the state capitol walls, and now, one city is defying the chief of the police state, by proclaiming it is a “sanctuary” from his orders, and that people can open for business. As Chris Enloe reports…

He’s at it again. Last month, I reported on a video from His Globalness U.N. Chief António Guterres, in which he called for using the COVID-19 pandemic as a tool for ushering in a world tax and a one-world currency. As a reminder, here is a bit of his blather from his 15-minute, hallucinatory collectivist screed: What is needed is a large-scale, coordinated and comprehensive multilateral…

Remember those happy memories “old” people used to offer? They were those classic “Ahh, the good ol’ days” comments, like, “When I was a kid, we CRAWLED to school, on steaming OBSIDIAN – AND WE LIKED IT!” Well, it appears that the unfounded worries of paternalistic COVID-Crackdown bureaucracies might see us remembering the “Olden Days” by saying, “When I was kid, we used to… step outside without…

Last week, I recorded a video and wrote a piece for MRCTV covering the heroic efforts of a St. Paul barber and a California restaurateur defying state government closure orders, and in the report, I tried to note the key ethical-economic problem for those and all businesses under the thumbs of politicians. That’s the fraudulent “licensing” or “permitting” power claimed by government, an immoral,…

A confrontation outside a Fresno, CA, Waffle Shop last Sunday is becoming the latest sensational lesson in the upside-down ethics of COVID-19 crackdowns, the forced closure of what politicians claim are “non-essential” businesses, and the tyranny of government health and “social distancing” commands. According to The NY Daily News: A California police chief is pleading for 'respect' after an…

Is virtue-signaling a pastime for people who find themselves unable to find something constructive to do? That sure seems to be the case when looking at the San Antonio, Texas, City Council, which passed on May 7 a Resolution showing just how much they “care.” In fact, they “care” so much, they don’t even bother to care about facts, logic, Common Law, the difference between opinion and…

We begin this “wish it were satire” story with that oft-spouted, leftist “rebuttal” to liberty-minded people who oppose taxation: “But, who’ll build the roads?” To which one might ask, “Do you mean, who, other than the coercive, tax-taking, inefficient, glad-handling, parasitic, bureaucratic, dangerous, and nearly-impossible-to-sue government? The gang that doesn’t have to please customers…
