Governor Ron DeSantis of Florida is upset because the federal government has decided that certain drugs should not be available to doctors who are treating patients with COVID-19.

What SCOTUS Is Trying to Teach Us?
SCOTUS recently issued a pair of rulings that appear, on the surface, to contradict each other. In the first, the court ruled that the federal government couldn’t force private companies with 100 or more employees to require those employees to accept either vaccination or weekly testing as a condition of employment.
The Supreme Court Takes Irony to a New Level
Justices Stephen Breyer, Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan dissented from today’s ruling that President* Biden’s vaccine mandate covering companies with 100 or more employees is unconstitutional, saying:
The New Fifth Amendment
House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy has announced that he will not cooperate with the committee that is ‘investigating’ the Amble Around the Capitol™️ on January 6 of last year.
The James Wilson Voting Act
Now that the Build Back Better Act (sometimes called the Great Giveaway) has stalled, Democrats have decided that their top legislative priority is something called the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act (sometimes called the Permanent Majority Act), which will effectively give the federal government the ability to dictate the electoral practices of individual states.
Our Supreme Court Parents
Tucker Carlson recently made fun of some Supreme Court justices because they didn’t seem to have sufficient mastery of the ‘facts’ regarding COVID to make the right decision about whether one of President* Biden’s vaccination mandates should be allowed to stand.
Constitution Day Talk
I originally meant to present the following talk at a Constitution Day celebration. Unfortunately, I came down with COVID-19, and was unable to attend. But several people have asked me what I had planned to say. So here it is:
Do These People Even Read the Laws They Write?
Not so long ago, the legislature passed, and the governor signed into law, a bill that says:
Every person has the natural, essential, and inherent right to bodily integrity, free from any threat or compulsion by government to accept an immunization.
Quote of the Day: Abraham Lincoln
As our ‘leaders’ contemplate military action in Ukraine, and more vaccine madness at home… having already decimated our own economy and the freedoms that allowed us to build it… it’s worth recalling the following observation — one might almost call it a prediction — made by President Lincoln:
Did Alec Baldwin “Fan That Smoke Wagon”?
In response to my question about how to make a Colt Single Action Army (SAA) revolver fire a round without ‘pulling the trigger’, a reader offered a possible answer.
Could Alec Baldwin Be Telling the Truth?
Alec Baldwin is now saying that he didn’t pull the trigger on the gun he used to shoot his director and his cinematographer:
More From Gun Safety Guru Alec Baldwin
Alec Baldwin has a new safety recommendation for Hollywood:
Every film/TV set that uses guns, fake or otherwise, should have a police officer on set, hired by the production, to specifically monitor weapons safety.
The 535 Stooges
What’s wrong with this picture? According to Fox News, Republican senators want to overturn Biden’s vaccine mandate for private employees, using something called the Congressional Review Act:
The Accidental Marxist, Part 2
A former state representative responded to my recent post about the Marxist nature (those who have more, pay more, simply because they can) of many of our taxes. He justified the existence of rate-based taxes by quoting a bank robber:
A Reminder About Those Nondemic Numbers
As the CDC, the NIH, and other government agencies continue to churn out ‘data’ from ‘studies’ that support various claims about the COVID-19 nondemic, here’s something to keep in mind before paying attention to any of them:
The Accidental Marxist
For more than 150 years, the principle
From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs.
has been identified by Karl Marx and other writers as ‘the basic principle of communism’.
Fact Workers
I think I was in college when I saw Ted Koppel interview Ferdinand Marcos about some riots that were happening in the Philippines. The interview began with some video of the riots, and then Koppel began to ask Marcos about his government’s response to them. Marcos just looked at him blankly, and said: ‘There were no riots.’
The Alec Baldwin School of Gun Safety
In the recent matter of Alec Baldwin’s negligent shooting of two of his colleagues on a movie set, I’m seeing a lot of discussion about how prop guns and blank rounds work, about who might have been responsible for bringing live rounds onto the set or loading one into Baldwin’s prop gun, and a lot of other topics that seem incidental to what I take to be the central question:
