Liberty & The Ultimate Power of The Word "No"

By Chris Rossini

​Why does every single attempt at authoritarianism and collectivism end in failure? Why do communism, socialism, and fascism always end up falling flat, without a single exception? Why do they always go down in flames, leaving only destruction in their wake?

It's definitely not rocket science to figure it out. You just need to ask the right questions.

So let's do that. Let's play authoritarian for a few minutes.

Really quick...

What should your spouse be doing right now? What ...

One Party State: Washington Unites To Block Trump Afghan Troop Withdrawal

When it comes to foreign policy and war (among other things) there are not two opposing political parties in Washington. Both Republicans and Democrats desperately cling to the warfare state as their ideological and economic lifeblood. That is why Congress is using a bizarre trick to attempt to block President Trump's plan to remove US troops from its longest war in history (Afghanistan). Plus in today's program: The HUGE scandal in Florida's Covid testing!!!

To Hell in a Hand Basket

By David Stockman

​The eruption of government red ink literally defies imagination. The deficit figure topped $863 billion during the month of June alone.

Indeed, the number is so massive that it’s hard to put it in context. But consider this: When your editor joined the Reagan campaign in the summer of 1980, the public debt was also $863 billion and it had taken 192 years and 39 presidents to get there.
​
So during the last 30 days, the clown brigade which passes for a government in Washington has ...

OSHA Covering Up Face Mask Danger?

Why hasn't US Occupational Safety and Health Administration bothered to do any testing on the potential negative effects of mandatory workplace face masks? An increasing number of individuals have tested C02 level build-up inside masks using OSHA-approved equipment and the results have been concerning. Why doesn't OSHA take the time to either disprove or confirm whether it is safe for face masks to be mandated on workers? Plus in today's program: corruption in Covid testing across the cou...

Will the Federal Reserve Cause the Next Riots?

By Ron Paul

Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell and San Francisco Fed President Mary Daly both recently denied that the Federal Reserve’s policies create economic inequality. Unfortunately for Powell, Daly, and other Fed promoters, a cursory look at the Fed’s operations shows that the central bank is the leading cause of economic inequality.

The Federal Reserve manipulates the money supply by buying and selling government securities. This means that when the Fed decides to pump money into the econ...

Sunbelt Covid 'Spike' - Just A Lot Of Hot Air?

The scare headlines are screaming: record spike in "cases" in Arizona, Texas, and Florida! Other states are mandating face masks even where deaths and the death rate continues to decline. New York City has for the first time since March reported zero Covid deaths. So...is there anything to this "spike" in the Sun Belt? Is the hype justified?

$3 Trillion of Fed Counterfeiting Not Enough: Republicans and Pelosi Want More!

Washington is a land of delusions. One side creates delusions about Coronavirus, while the other side creates delusions about the economy. Politicians of all stripes are so desperate to keep their house of cards together that they're putting their faith in Federal Reserve counterfeiting. The era of government omnipotence is ending.

Virus...Or Politics? Houston Democrat Mayor Cancels Texas GOP Convention

Houston's Democrat Mayor Sylvester Turner heaped praise on the recent George Floyd protests, which drew tens of thousands of people tightly packed into the city. He even addressed the crowd. Coronavirus was no problem, the protests were too important. Yesterday Mayor Turner cancelled the Texas state Republican Party convention, which was to be held in Houston and would bring in a tiny fraction of the numbers of those who attended the Floyd protest. The mayor's reason to cancel the Republican Par...

The Catastrophe of Sacrificing Liberty

By Chris Rossini

​​Life is only experienced on an individual level. We each have our own individual and unique adventure. No one can see through the eyes of another, or think the thoughts of another, walk in the shoes of another, or make choices for another.

All choices and actions are made by each individual mind.

In a nutshell, Life is Liberty.

Every individual is endowed with the Liberty to choose and to act. It is the ultimate gift of Life. One cannot imagine a greater one.

Every single ac...

Should We Trust The Covid Tests?

Media and politicians are using the reported massive increase in positive Covid test results to call for another US lockdown. Meanwhile there are increasing doubts as to the accuracy of the tests. New Jersey is mandating masks and two Texas counties are threatening felony charges against those with positive tests who do not stay home. Are these fears justified? Has the continuing decline of Covid deaths become meaningless?
