fromNYPost: Amazingly, it was the New York Times that broke the story.

fromAmericanThinker: The chant, vulgar though it may be, is a sign that, despite fifty years of leftist propaganda in schools, the news, entertainment, and corporate America, the American spirit still lives.

fromInternationalMan: Not for the faint of heart. China is methodically dominated world trade.

fromMichaelTracey/Substack: At this very moment, Connecticut College in New London (estimated total cost for the 2020-2021 academic year: $79,575​​) has its entire student body under mass quarantine. 

fromZeroHedge: BTW, it is underreported that the mandate exempts illegal aliens, members of Congress, the federal courts and the post office.

Government is Watching Every Move You Make                                   The Government is Not Us

fromFoxNews: "Courts will now be asked to ignore the admission and uphold a self-admitted evasion of constitutional limits," Turley added. The "problem is that the thing being ‘worked around’ is the Constitution."

fromYahooNews: Not from the Babylon Bee. ("Outside of that, how was the play, Mrs. Lincoln?")

fromTabletMag: You’re struggling to understand where all this vaccine hesitancy comes from. Let me help you.

fromGlennGreenwald/Rumble: On the dangers of rising Big Tech censorship and the central importance of this platform to fight against it.

fromActivistPost: It’s time to start applying the clear lessons from that time and continue to uncover, question, and dismantle both the mass surveillance and the unfettered secrecy that were ushered in when we were all afraid.

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?

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.

fromReason: How spending got out of control and words lost their meaning.

fromPolitico: Tucked into the bipartisan infrastructure package in Congress is a provision that would green-light, for the first time, a national pilot program for a vehicle miles traveled fee. You get smaller, they get bigger.

fromIntelligencer: How one Joe may save America from another Joe. A failed presidency is looking inevitable.

fromAmericanGreatness: In just a few months Joe Biden has wrought a series of disasters that will invoke outrage that dwarfs the concocted anger directed at Donald Trump.

fromDailyMail: Today, the Taliban declared total victory in the 20-year war that ensued after America invaded Afghanistan to avenge the 9/11 atrocity, claiming they had seized control of Afghanistan's Panjshir province, the last of 34 provinces to hold out against them. America's defeat to just 75,000 murderous medieval thugs is complete.

fromYourNews: This is becoming a trend. The fact it is happening at college games is quite encouraging.

fromReason: The FDA joins Big Tobacco to ban vaping and therefore erode the rights of millions of current and former smokers to access a safer alternative that could literally save their lives.
Regulation Nation                                                             The War on Unapproved Voluntary Exchange

fromTownhall: Why is forcing every American to get vaccinated so important at the exact moment Israel proves the vaccine they're pushing is a dramatic, dangerous and deadly failure? And it's not just Israel. In the UK, a majority of the COVID-19 deaths last month were among vaccinated people. And the UK death rate from COVID-19 today is dramatically higher than a year ago -- when there was no vaccine.

fromMises/YouTube: Society is a complex system. The number of uncertainties that exist are impossible to isolate, which makes the future impossible to predict with certainty. This is particularly true for complex systems such as the economy, public health, and the global climate.

fromNYPost: In March, Newsom labeled the recall effort “white supremacist.” His campaign website claims the drive is powered by “a partisan, Republican coalition of national Republicans, anti-vaxxers, QAnon conspiracy theorists, anti-immigrant activists, and Trump supporters.”

fromTheRutherfordInstitute: Once upon a time in America, parents breathed a sigh of relief when their kids went back to school after a summer’s hiatus, content in the knowledge that for a good portion of the day their kids would be gainfully occupied, out of harm’s way and out of trouble. Those were the good old days.

fromTheFederalist: 'Science is not supposed to be about intimidating, or abusing, or censoring data ... There is never supposed to be 'an accepted view' of science.'

fromSanDiegoNewsDesk: We live in a clown world: hypocrisy is leadership, and government control is safety. When Democrats whine about misinformation, they mean anything that doesn’t support their restrictive agenda.

fromDailyMail: The White House has admitted that President Joe Biden's claim he visited the Tree of Life in the wake of the 2018 massacre that killed 11 congregants is not true after the synagogue revealed he only called.

fromAmericanThinker: The Democrats are the party of voter fraud.  This is the basic fact of American politics.  Republicans know it, and so do Democrats.  We all know that the dead who vote always vote for the Democrat and that those voting enthusiasts who vote early and often can also be counted on to vote for the Democrat.

September 5, 2021                                             

fromSanFranciscoExaminer: What next, paying politicians not to lie?

fromRealClearPolitics: Joe Biden and the Pentagon have managed to birth a new terrorist haven, destroy much of U.S. strategic deterrence, and alienate our allies and much of the country.

fromAmericanSpectator: The fact that Dodge can’t build V8-powered Chargers, Challengers, and Durangos fast enough to meet demand for them without any need to use tax breaks to shave thousands off the sticker price, says everything about the desirability of these vehicles — as juxtaposed with the confected desirability of electrified cars like Teslas, which would stop selling tomorrow if the tax-bribes were rescinded today.

fromCreators: Government is essentially the negation of freedom. The Constitution limits government tyranny.

fromRonPaulLibertyReport: Who's to say that the "passports" must be limited to vaccines in the future? Once in place, can't people be restricted from movement for any other reason that governments desire?

fromDailyCaller: America’s attempt to turn a nation of medieval goat herders and Islamic hillbillies into penis-possessors and vulva-havers suitable for campus life at some of America’s more elite colleges is thwarted.
