fromChrisFreiman/Substack: Libertarians are no doubt dismayed by the FDA’s recent ban on Juul vaping products and the news that the Biden administration is planning to mandate lower nicotine levels in cigarettes. But libertarians shouldn’t be the only ones opposed to state-enforced nicotine restrictions.

fromJonathanTurley/USAToday: The president's call to "vote, vote, vote, vote" is the same as the court's call. However, the result might not be clear as the president suggests in a country where only 34% support abortion in the second trimester and only 19% in the third trimester.


fromOrganicPrepper: It’s not just alternative media sites like ZeroHedge or Mercola. Mainstream media turns on their own people the second they ask the wrong questions.

fromBrownstoneInstitute: There is also rising awareness of government excesses in violating freedoms and liberties. In a global survey of 52,000 people by the Democracy Perceptions Index, in 50 of the 53 countries surveyed, people expressed net agreement (that is, agreement minus disagreement) with the proposition: “their government has gone too far in limiting people’s freedoms.”

fromJustTheNews: From debunked incitement claim to refuted hearsay allegation about a Trump lunge for wheel of presidential vehicle, panel has provided high-visibility forum for fictions and fallacies.

fromLewRockwell: Many, especially libertarians, might respond that Twitter as a private company has the right to do business with anyone they wish.

fromBombThrower: Today’s elites are caught in a dilemma: nobody wants what they’re selling.

fromReason: Out of 27,900 research publications on gun laws, only 123 tested their effects rigorously.

fromEricPetersAuto: Electric cars and “vaccines” are similar in that both have delusional defenders – believers who are immune to reason, hostile toward damning facts – who cling to their beliefs with a devotion that is cultic.

fromDailyMail: Bragg campaigned on "ending mass incarceration," but that promise apparently does not apply to Jose Alba. The story exploded as the city comes to terms with the emptiness of progressive claims to be the side that defends the vulnerable.                                                                                 The Government is Not Us

fromResponsibleStatecraft: Lawmakers this week will rubber stamp a bill authorizing tens of billions more to the Defense Department that it didn’t even ask for.

fromRedState: Bottom line? Even the Times is now laying out what we’ve known for a long time — that Biden is not up to the job, Biden’s team knows it, and they’re doing all they can to cover.

fromMises: A common error in economics is to label increases price increases inflation. 

fromNYPost: When parents protested at school board meetings, the Biden administration coordinated with the National School Boards Association to mobilize the entire weight of the federal government against them.

fromAmericanGreatness: These humanitarian rich feel just terrible about the sins of America, but not terrible enough to sacrifice any element of their privileged lifestyles—the just deserts they feel for being so righteous.

fromJohnStossel/Rumble: The Southern Poverty Law Center claims it protects us from"hate groups."

fromZeroHedge: Seth Dillon will not back away from making fun of irrational and dangerous ideology.
