Remember that dusty, totemic, oft-overlooked, supposed “rule book” for the United States government called the U.S. Constitution?
And you know how that Constitution arranges for very limited, enumerated powers granted to the feds, and the rest are left to the states?
And you know how James Madison warned people that one of those specific powers, the so-called “Interstate Commerce” clause (…
I am a graduate of Boston University.
I have never given to the BU Alumni Fund and never will.
Why?
For years, I suspected that BU would use my cash to promote political agendas inimical to the rights of my neighbors.
I was right.
On February 28, I noticed a Tweet from the BU School of Public Health promoting its glorious “work” to “tackle gun violence”, a Tweet that included a still-…
Cognitive Dissonance occurs when a human being simultaneously holds two contradictory thoughts. George Orwell employed a variant of this in "1984" for his “Doublethink”, in which, he said:
Doublethink means the power of holding two contradictory beliefs in one's mind simultaneously, and accepting both of them.
Welcome to Orwell’s world, Americans.
A new Axios Poll shows two strange…
Remember October of 2016, when then-President Barack Obama ham-handedly called for a government “Truthiness Test” for online content we might post? Remember how he did it at the same time a little-known bill was working through DC called the “Portman-Murphy Countering Foreign Propaganda Act”, and his statement conveniently added to the spurious argument that such conservative, libertarian,…
Take a wild guess…
To which of the wonderful political parties do these Hawaii state politicians that don't like the Second Amendment as it stands belong?
Yeah, you got it. They’re all Democrats.
Christian Gomez reports for The New American that five Hawaii state senators have introduced resolutions to call on the US Congress to either repeal the Second Amendment or revise it.
Democratic…
There’s something about the clear prohibition “shall not be infringed” in the Second Amendment that seems monumentally impenetrable to collectivists.
Case in point, the town of Brighton, New York, where the Town Board just passed new conditions on the right to keep and bear arms, and where some of those politicians and bureaucrats have the gall to claim they aren’t infringing on other…
Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders keeps finding ways to make himself look foolish and hypocritical.
Which, admittedly, isn’t difficult, but he’s entering into “cringe-inspiring” territory.
On Monday, February 25, the usually docile and 99% friendly to collectivists Wolf Blitzer made the mistake of asking Bernie about his tax returns, and as The American Mirror’s Victor Skinner writes, this “man of…
The Washington Post’s Laura Meckler reports that Education Secretary Betsy DeVos Thursday began her push in favor of a $5 billion tax credit for contributions to private school scholarships.
And, in doing so, Ms. Meckler offers us a great example of what not to do when writing a supposed “news” piece outside of the editorial section.
She begins thus:
Education Secretary Betsy DeVos sought…
I met PayPal founder Peter Thiel many years ago at a free-market oriented gathering in New York City called the Adam Smith Awards Dinner. He was a terrifically nice guy, and was quite friendly to many principles underlying individual liberty and markets.
As Mr. Thiel explained that night, PayPal was created in order to allow for more freedom, to let people enter into transactions without…
As many of us anticipated, the Democrat-led Congress this week is ready to pass two insulting and poisonous anti-gun-right bills, and this situation deserves a great deal of attention.
Nancy Pelosi and her allies just passed H.R. 8, the “Bipartisan Background Checks Act”on Wednesday (and with a cheesy-comfy name like “Bipartisan”, you know it’s gotta be dangerous). Mandating that nearly every…
