If their duty, their honor, and their oaths will not bind them, let us not put into their hands our liberty and all our other great interests.” These are the powerful words of Gouverneur Morris, the “Penman of the Constitution” and author of its preamble. Morris did not mince words during the Philadelphia Convention of … Read more
And ideological ones as well. I would think that Lloyd Alter, a former architect, entrepreneur, and professor at Toronto Metropolitan University, would better grasp small and large numbers and how they interplay for setting Contexts. Yes, with a capital “C” as he, along with many other Eco-Socialists, continuously try to use “small number anecdotes” to … Read more
This government “will swallow the liberties of the people, without giving them previous notice.” That’s one of many stark warnings Patrick Henry gave us in 1788. In a series of fiery speeches during the Virginia Ratifying Convention, he laid out some of the most powerful anti-Federalist arguments against the Constitution. He predicted all kinds of abuses … Read more
At this point, President Joe Biden — the absent president, the ghost president — could only salvage a snippet of his legacy if he awarded John Daly with the Presidential Medal of Freedom and decreed that henceforth, every summer will be “White Boy Summer.” Biden, instead, is handing out participation trophies for some of the … Read more
Then it Became Condescending and Orwellian So “Bard” was one of the names for Google’s earlier Artificial Intelligence forays, and I decided, given what others were doing then, to “test” it a bit. The common complaint, back in its early days (otherwise called January 2024), was that it would not answer direct questions asked by … Read more
From my perch and particular time in life, there has been this continuing growth of a fundamental absence, an essence that was practically universal during our Founding. More concerning is that this missing link has become ingrained within portions of our elected leaders. Specifically, what’s missing is a basic love of country, which entails the … Read more
In the most significant act of Vice President Harris’s term, she declared Donald J. Trump the victor of the November election and the 47th President of the United States. Trump is the man who rose from political death, overcame a legal assault by Joe Biden’s Justice Department, and an all-out assault by a biased media … Read more
I wandered over to a different Grok, X’s AI, and found this headline. META Ditches Fact-Checkers for Community Notes. Who doesn’t click on that? Here’s what it said. Multiple Media reports confirm this as accurate. As many of our readers have been banned, thrown in Facebook Jail, and throttled by Meta, we look forward to … Read more
The tragedy in New Orleans and the car explosion outside the Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas were horrific events in themselves. Still, the reaction and cover-up by authorities are as horrific and insulting. The people charged with keeping us safe by preventing incidents like the ones we experienced on New Year’s Eve are racing … Read more
President-elect Donald Trump has a big job ahead of him in restoring common sense and sanity to federal energy policy when he takes office on January 20. The last four years in this realm can more accurately be characterized as a series of ill-considered, irrational scams than as any sort of coherent, productive set of … Read more
On January 3, New York Judge Juan Merchan rejected President-Elect Donald Trump’s request that his “hush money” convictions be vacated based on the US Supreme Court’s presidential immunity decision in Trump v. United States. Merchan has scheduled a “sentencing” of Donald Trump for January 10, in which no incarceration will be imposed. What’s the point? Sensationalist … Read more
We have become a nation adrift in a sea of government overreach, abuse and corruption. The following is a sobering account of the challenges we faced in 2024, which were marked by the government’s never-ending power grabs and relentless assaults on our civil liberties. 2024 saw a continued rise in government overreach and abuse of … Read more
The debate over immigration is working out perfectly for the deep state. Donald Trump is calling on the CIA and the FBI to “get involved” in domestic policing. At the same time, MAGA conservatives are begging the US government to impose a vast new surveillance state on Americans in the name of stopping illegal aliens. For at … Read more
On his last day in office, James Madison delivered what might be history’s most significant – and overlooked – presidential veto. This was in response to the Bonus Bill in 1817 – an infrastructure bill, what they referred to as “internal improvements.” In a rare example of both integrity and adherence to the Oath of … Read more
Biden’s FCC reinstituted (Obama-Era) net neutrality rules in April. They were suspended in August while a challenge lounged around in the federal court system. It only took four months, but the 6th Circuit has trashed the rules and told the FCC that it lacks the authority to regulate in this manner. The Federal Communications Commission … Read more
Here’s a quick (bonus!) finger-in-the-eye sort of post. Comma-Lah seems to have forgotten the pledge of allegiance (*assuming she ever knew it, of course). Grok Shot: Kamala Forgets* the Pledge of Allegiance
I participated in a forum at the University of Connecticut Medical School on November 6, 2024, discussing the ethics of workplace vaccine mandates, obviously with an emphasis on the recent COVID experience. I covered the legal environment while other speakers addressed some of the science and ethics of mandates, and the interplay between a hospital … Read more
I just had a reach out from a guy planning to put pastured poultry on his family farm that currently raises cows and pigs, but “mom” is concerned the chickens will invite bird flu, which will then infect the pigs and cows. Here’s a young wanna-be farmer stymied by parental paranoia regarding bird flu. Everyone … Read more
The advent of AD 2025 promises continuing global and domestic conflicts but a hope for peace. Partisan politics and media infighting persist, while wars roil Ukraine and the Middle East. New Year’s 2025 celebrations augur the second inauguration of Donald J. Trump as president of the United States. It would be well for all Americans … Read more
You likely suspect or perhaps even know, but that’s not nearly as handy as having receipts to show people who are freaking out about the potential bird flu pandemic. We’re here to help. The evidence points to gain-of-function research. Yes, the federal government was involved (USDA). Here’s Peter McCullough talking about it. And the research … Read more
