Election 2024 and the Irrationality of Majoritarian Voting

When Kamala Harris ran for the Democratic Party’s Nomination for President in 2019, she did so poorly that she dropped out of the race before a single vote was cast in any of the Party’s primary elections. She had a bright moment after embarrassing Joe Biden in a debate about his 1970s position on busing public-school students, but her star faded quickly after she flip-flopped on socialized medicine and generally demonstrated that she was a poor candidate. Biden nevertheless chose her as his run...

RFK Jr, Emulsifiers, and Milk Policy

With RFK Jr’s candidacy and his recent decision to endorse President Donald Trump for 2024, RFK Jr has brought the growing rates of chronic disease into the front and center of American politics.

I believe his intention is genuinely noble, and I have much to agree with him on in terms of what is causing American’s decrease in health as evidenced by declining testosterone levels in men, lower average temperature, as well as increasing rates of autism, cancer, diabetes and many other chronic disea...

Kamala’s New Threat Is Serious

From the Tom Woods Letter:

There’s very little that would surprise people like you and me at this point, but it still frustrates me how many dopes we have who cheer the idea of people being punished for things they say.

Oh, there’s always some excuse that makes their censorship different. “It was a pandemic.” “Lives were at stake.” “Hate isn’t free speech.” “We have to prevent misinformation.”

Set aside for a moment whether Covid was a pandemic or not: a pandemic is precisely when we most want a...

The Decades of Evidence SSRI Antidepressants Cause Mass Shootings

Most holistic doctors consider Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRI) anti-depressants to be one of most harmful mass-prescribed drugs on the market (it typically makes their top 5—which typically also includes the NSAIDs, Statins, and Acid Reflux PPIs). However unlike the other drugs, which are just unsafe and ineffective, SSRIs also have a fairly unique problem—they can kill people who are not even taking the drugs.

Note: the only other examples I know of where a drug hurts non-users a...

Was Osama Bin Laden Really Behind 9/11?

Twenty-three years ago this month the 9/11 attacks on the World Trade Center and Pentagon shook the United States and horrified the world. 

Almost three thousand Americans died. The US launched attacks across the Muslim world in what the media called ‘the War on Terror.’ The repercussions of these events continue today.

Washington quickly blamed Saudi/Yemeni jihadist Osama bin Laden for these attacks and vowed to hunt him down. But was he really guilty? As a veteran of the Afghan Wars and Mideas...

A Federal Prosecution in Florida Is Keeping Us Safe from the Russkies

If you have been pacing the floor over the possibility that the Russkies are trying to influence your vote in the 2024 elections, you can sleep well tonight. That’s because the feds are currently prosecuting four members of the African People’s Socialist Party in a trial in federal district court in Tampa.

What is the African People’s Socialist Party? Good question! I certainly had never heard of them, and I’m willing to bet that neither have you. It turns out that they are a small, obscure grou...

Warning! The Most Dangerous Part of a Nuclear Attack!

No one wants to think about a nuclear crisis – and hopefully it will never happen – but we all must accept the fact nuclear tensions are rising globally with Russia and China (and others are seeking nukes) so we should prepare ourselves and our loved ones in the event the unthinkable strikes our soil.

For decades, movies and some in the media have portrayed a nuclear attack as a “doomsday” event implying most people would be killed on impact … and survivors would want to die once they come out o...

Deep State Provoking War Worldwide

As I have said repeatedly, there is only one party in Washington, D.C., and it’s the War Party. Some people call it the Uniparty. There are two issues that most D.C. Democrats and Republicans will always agree on: War and Israel, but then I repeat myself.

It was the United States, not Russia, that started the war in Ukraine back in 2014. It’s not the intent of this column to go into the details of this issue, but notable freedomists such as Judge Andrew Napolitano, Col. Douglas Macgregor, Clayto...

From the Arsenal of Democracy to an Arsenal of Genocide

During World War II, American leaders proudly proclaimed this country the “arsenal of democracy,” supplying weapons and related materiel to allies like Great Britain and the Soviet Union. To cite just one example, I recall reading about Soviet armored units equipped with U.S. Sherman tanks, though the Soviets had an even better tank of their own in the T-34 and its many variants. However, recent news that the United States is providing yet more massive arms deliveries to Israel (worth $20 billio...
