There are many vast parcels of land across North America that originally had been delineated and owned by native Indian tribes, and to which their descendants have valid claims. And one of the states best known for those original tribes and parcels is Massachusetts, a bastion of supposed leftist “inclusion” and acceptance.
But as people struggle under the weight of COVID-19 crackdowns, it seems…
(UPDATE: Late in the afternoon on May 6, FoxNews reports that on the urging of Texas Governor Abbott, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton sent a letter to Dallas County State District Judge Eric Moyé informing him that he abused his discretion when he "unjustly jailed" Ms. Luther, and informing the judge that she immediately should be released from jail.)
It’s enlightening when an “average citizen…
The stories of defiance and free will are rising.
From St. Paul, Minnesota, where a generous barber named Milan Dennie – a man who weeks ago collected thousands of rolls of toilet paper and hand soaps to donate to neighbors – has safely reopened in defiance of Democrat Governor Tim Walz but to the pleasure of his voluntary customers, to two Arizona Sheriffs refusing to enforce Republican…
As the pop media continually prattle about an invisible viral enemy the threat of which is impossible to pin-down because CDC infection numbers have been undercounted, it’s good to recognize a real enemy to one’s livelihood and liberty. And residents of the Big Apple – as well as to anyone watching events there – surely can see a nemeses in New York Mayor, Bill “Big Billy” de Blasio.

As the days of “America Held Hostage” roll on, as many state governors and mayors issue business closure orders – and the economy tanks - the examples of political insanity mount.
And Nashville, Tennessee is one of the perfect examples.
As The Blaze’s Breck Dumas reports, Democrat Nashville Mayor John Cooper just “floated a 31.7 percent property tax increase in his budget proposal this week,…
The pages of the The Atlantic are often full of idiocy, but this clownish outing might take the proverbial cake.
In a stuffy, artery-hardening, brain-fogging piece that could only be sourced from some of the snobbiest “lawyerly” culprits of America’s law school elite, Jack Goldsmith (no relation – I hope) of Harvard Law, and Andrew Keane Woods of the University of Arizona College of Law decided…
Among his many important and timeless observations, one of 19th Century economist and political philosopher Frederic Bastiat’s best is, “The state is that great fiction by which everyone tries to live at the expense of everyone else.”
And nothing typifies that dictum about perpetual predation better than the so-called “Social Security” system -- which isn’t really “social,” since it’s a…
Never underestimate the capacity of collectivists of every stripe to insult people.
After all, they have no problem attacking individual rights, so what’s wrong with a little insult added to the injury?
And please forget that these are the kinds of people who continually virtue-signal about “hate speech” and being “accepting” and “loving”.
Well, it appears that the virtue-signaling, kindly…
One of my first articles on economics and ethics to be published appeared in the Foundation for Economic Education’s magazine, “The Freeman," was about the heroism of Mike Fisher, a liberty-minded guy who defied the state “licensing” mandate after he learned how to do manicures and offered his services to a paying customer – on the lawn of the state licensing board.
Nice move.
Of course, for…
Who among us isn’t familiar with the mob-movie trope of the gangster entering a small shop, walking like a bull past the fine china, picking up a nice item, admiring it, and then saying, “Gee… Such a nice place ya got heeah. It’d be a shame if—(SMASH, as he drops and breaks the piece) – somethin’ happened to it…”? And, of course, likely we’re all familiar with the subsequent shakedown – the…
