Don Lemon announced a deal to do a program on X, as have Tulsi Gabbard and some sports guy of whom I’ve never heard, but the addition of Lemon is of most interest.

Remember When the Political Left Wanted a Return to the Fairness Doctrine? That’ll Never Happen Again
If we learned anything at all from the drama that was COVID, it is that the government does not take your natural rights, or their protection, seriously. It is not interested in any opinion that is not its own, and using force to get its way is always an option. This should scare more people than it does.

Night Cap: You Like Gun Control? Push for Speech Control.
There are a lot of reasons why Claudine Gay should never have been running Harvard, but her testimony before Congress isn’t one of them.

Licensing Cartels and the Constitutional Right to Use “Math” in Public
New Hampshire’s licensing cartels are a thing of legend for folks who’ve been around long enough to read about them, but most folks won’t realize it until a lack of a license interferes with their day-to-day. Things have improved, are improving, but the cartels who control occupations are “out there, Jimmy.”
A Free and Open Internet Is a Threat to the Establishment
Last week, a video clip of Francis Fukuyama went viral. In the clip, the political scientist called freedom of speech and a marketplace of ideas “18th-century notions that really have been belied (or shown to be false) by a lot of what’s happened in recent decades.”
Fired School Teacher’s Day In Court: School Can’t Compel Him to Use Preferred Pronouns

FBI to Charge J6 Journalist With Something (Probably) For Reporting the Wrong Story
Blaze Journalist Steve Baker has been notified that he must self-surrender to the FBI by next Tuesday. Baker was a reporter on the ground on January 6 (J6), and while he does not yet know what the charges are, I think we can guess.
Special Counsel Jack Smith’s Expansive Search Warrants and Legal Implications
In light of the latest legal twist, wherein Special Counsel Jack Smith’s maneuvers have sparked a heated debate on the tightrope walk between privacy rights and the expansive reach of investigative tactics, I keep asking myself the question: Do we, as U.S. citizens, have any privacy rights or not?
Standing Up Against the Censorious Establishment!
Russell Brand continues to regale millions daily with his podcasts, delivering an endless stream of words that are interesting, entertaining, and that (most importantly) piss off the ruling-class globalist elites. They hate him and have tried to destroy him, but he’s the podcasting energizer bunny.
Night Cap: ASU Professors Argue That Free Speech on Campus Is a Bad Idea …
Arizona State University must be rolling in the glory of this wisdom, imparted by two ASU profs who’ve started a discussion about why Free Speech on Campus is not just overrated but dangerous. My First thought? Their sort of speech sounds dangerous, but they got to say it.

With Nikki Haley in Second Place in NH I Feel Obligated to Remind Voters That She is a Constitutional Threat
Much has been said about the rise of Nikki Haley to second place in New Hampshire, mainly as a vehicle for bashing a struggling Gov. Ron DeSantis, who has the second place spot almost everywhere but the Granite State.
New Hampshire’s Attorney General Asks the State Supreme Court to Sanction Thought Crime
The New Hampshire Attorney General’s office and this is just a guess, appears to be using the recent rise in left-wing anti-semitism to push for a court ruling that allows the State to use civil rights law to silence speech it decides at any given moment is offensive.
She Didn’t Mean to But Nikki Haley Just Ended Her Campaign for President
Nikki Haley has been as on the rise as a candidate can be in this primary cycle, gaining ground on Ron DeSantis and making big media buys with all the swampy Neo-Con money she’s been getting. And good for her. That’s all part of the process. But it may have all been in vain. She just ended any hope she had of winning the nomination.

Without wading into the numerous points surrounding the debate about a thing called ‘Palestine,’ or any “people” alleging indigenous status, or who did or started what, when, and why – we’ve plenty of that just about everywhere – there is something else to discuss.
“Free Speech… That Extraordinary Thing We Have That Muslim Countries Don’t.”
What, you haven’t already figured this out? How can you NOT be paying attention if you love your children? “Free speech… that extraordinary thing we have that Muslim countries don’t.”
The Dangerous Trend Toward Uniformity of Opinion and Perception
One of my favorite lines from something I wrote a few years back is that to a Democrat, Diversity is a room full of people who look different but think the same. That it is acceptable to be colorblind if everyone agrees with you on everything, without exception.
