The Great Southwest Airlines Rebellion?

By Ron Paul

The incredible cruelty and folly of forced vaccines finally came home to roost. The vaccine mandate backlash has been bubbling just under the surface, but now it has spilled out into the open, threatening to completely derail an already crumbling economy and to obliterate a deeply unpopular US President and Administration.

Seemingly out of nowhere what appears to be a Southwest Airlines rebellion has taken flight this weekend. According to media reports, scores of pilots and other Sout...

Dangerous Fallout From Biden's Vax Mandate

Southwest Airlines is facing hundreds more cancellations - the fourth straight day. Rumors suggest more carriers may follow Southwest pilots' lead. Hundreds of thousands of US troops are defying Biden's mandate. Biden's poll numbers are historically low. Has the imperial presidency experienced imperial over-reach? Is the tide turning?

Vancouver Is Beset With Numerous Problems

By Walter E. Block

​Vancouver is beset with problems, seemingly on all fronts. It is still one of the most beautiful cities not only in Canada, but on the entire planet. There are very few metropolises that can engage in “Sea to Ski” events; where lovely mountains and lovely ocean expanses can be found cheek by jowl.
 
But “Hollywood North” now has more than its fair share of difficulties.
 
Let us list just a few of these glitches.
 
1. Air quality. Not too long ago, it was worse than China’s, and tha...

Even a $1 Trillion Platinum Coin Will Not Pay To "Build Back Better"

When Liberty is sacrificed, authoritarians destroy. When authoritarians destroy, they never (ever) "build back better." When authoritarians destroy, everything stays destroyed, until Liberty is returned. It's not "different this time." It's never different.

NBA Star Andrew Wiggins: A Hero Accused of 'Playing a Victim'

Andrew Wiggins of The Golden State Warriors was forced to make a decision that no one should ever be forced to make. He did not want the vaccine, but was cornered into taking. He's understandably concerned about what the shot may do to his body in the future.

Parents Should Control Education

By Ron Paul

During last week’s Virginia gubernatorial debate, Democratic candidate Terry McAuliffe promised that as governor he would prevent parents from removing sexually explicit books from school libraries, because he doesn't think “parents should be telling schools what they should teach.”

McAuliffe's disdain for parents who think they should have some say in their children’s education is shared by most “progressives,” as well as some who call themselves conservatives. They think parents shou...

Pills And Profits: Merck To Make Billions From USG-Funded Covid Treatment

Big Pharma Merck is set to rake in billions of dollars from its new "not-ivermectin" Covid treatment - despite the US taxpayer paying for the drug's original development. Also today - no wonder Attorney General Merrick Garland loves Critical Race Theory: His family is set to make big bucks from pushing the curriculum to classrooms across the country.

Biden Administration: Investigate Protesting Parents For 'Domestic Terrorism'!

President Biden's "Justice" Department has directed the FBI to investigate parents attending school board meetings to protest mandatory mask mandates and the teaching of Marxist "Critical Race Theory" for possible "domestic terrorism." Is this about protecting school boards...or silencing political opposition? Also today, the debate over "natural immunity" is heating up.

No Surprise Here! -- "Vaccine Passports" Are Crushing Business In NYC

The illogical and tyrannical idea of "vaccine passports" are having the very predictable effect of crushing business in NYC. All people and businesses outside of NYC should take note. For everyone besides the authoritarians, no good outcomes should be expected from "vaccine passports."

Default Hysteria: No Time To Panic; Time To Plan

The usual "debt ceiling" theatrics have reappeared. We're again greeted with the propaganda that if the most indebted government in the history of the world doesn't continue to go deeper into debt, the world would grind to a halt. But economic "crisis," which is really a painful return to economic reality, is inevitable. The real "crisis" is continuing to dig a deeper hole. So it's certainly time to think about getting one's own person financial house in order.
