fromReason: We were warned about the dangerous power of the USA PATRIOT Act. Edward Snowden proved that critics were justified. But the genie is not going back into the bottle easily.
Government is Watching Every Move You Make                                        The Government is Not Us

fromDailyMail: Tyrannical president demands his minions be injected with experimental vaccine or fired, over-riding the principle behind legalized abortion: that a person has domain over their body.

fromWashingtonExaminer: For decades, the CDC has quietly expanded its activities from its original critical mission of infectious disease control. The agency now supports far-afield research projects in spousal abuse, juvenile delinquency, and other subjects far better explored by criminologists and sociologists.
Regulation Nation                                                                                  2nd Amendment Assaults

fromBreitbart: Why allow California to have the highest aggregate basket of income, sales, property and capital gains taxes in the nation, the highest gas and power prices in the continental United States, poor schools, outdated infrastructure and the country's largest populations of homeless, welfare recipients and undocumented immigrants.

fromJonathanTurley: While cable networks have long catered to political audiences on the left or right, mainstream newspapers and networks now openly frame news to fit a political narrative.

fromBreitbart: Obama swapped four major terrorist planners for a dishonorable deserter. The most idiotic trade since the Sox sent Ruth to the Yankees. With the stooge's assistant now at the helm, what could go wrong?

September 10, 2021                                             

fromVictoryGirls: Monday, the State Department was caught lying after claiming credit for rescuing a pregnant American woman and her children from Afghanistan.

fromCalculatedRisk: The headline unemployment rate of 5.2% significantly understates the current situation. 

fromLifesiteNews: Twenty states this week filed a lawsuit to block radical transgender policies by the Biden administration that seek to redefine federal sex discrimination protections to mandate transgender pronoun use and allow biological males to compete on girls’ sports teams, among other things.
Political Correctness and Other Nitwittery                                                        Regulation Nation

fromReason: Imagine living in a world where every one of your noncash financial transactions—a restaurant meal, a Venmo transfer to a friend, maybe some bitcoin bought on the dips—was automatically reported to a beefed-up, audit-hungry IRS. That dystopia will become a reality if President Joe Biden gets his way.

fromNakedCapitalism: Getting on a plane was no different from getting on a bus. It’s been jarring to watch how abruptly the sprawling Transportation Security Agency system was created – and how quickly American air travelers came to accept those security measures as normal features of all U.S. airports.

fromCaitlinJohnstone: Tyranny runs rampant when there is no protection for individual rights.

September 9, 2021                                             

fromBrownstoneInstitute: One of the important rules about how fear works is that the fearful individual focuses obsessively on the feared object. There is a good evolutionary reason for this: when in danger it is important not to get distracted by other things and to focus 100 percent on the threat and how it can be extinguished.

fromMises: When we look at the massive spending bills and the fact that over 23% of dollars have just recently been ushered into existence, it leaves many asking why has there not been proportionally drastic inflation?

fromAmericanThinker: In Israel, “One of the most vaccinated countries in the world has this week seen its highest number of coronavirus cases ever.” And these cases are not mild. In a country with over 80 percent of adults vaccinated, a majority of hospitalized patients are in serious condition with close to 15 percent on ventilators.

fromAmericanConsequences: In August, YouTube froze Sen. Rand Paul’s YouTube channel. That’s just wrong. 

fromCreators: The only promises Biden kept throughout his botched exit from Afghanistan have been to the Taliban. All "We The People" have gotten from our befuddled president is deception, distortion and spin. He repeatedly looked into television cameras and insisted no Americans will be left behind in Afghanistan. 

fromQuillette: We see increasingly muscular attempts by democratic governments to censor the internet; the use of banks and payment processors as censorship tools; a rising cultural tendency towards censorship of any ‘problematic’ content; the linkage of a largely baseless ‘sex trafficking’ narrative with sex work and pornography.
