“Wait, are you telling me diseases can still spread even when your protesting for the "correct" political ideology? Dr. Mac and company investigate this insane rumor.”
“The Eliminating Abusive and Rampant Neglect of Interactive Technologies Act of 2020, also known as the EARN IT Act, is a dangerous bill introduced by Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina. If it becomes law, it will end private communication on the internet.
The EARN IT Act is part of a long history of using sex panics to expand state power. If we fall for it this time we may effectively end freedom of expression and open communication on the internet as we know it.EARN IT threatens website providers’ and other intermediaries’ ability to provide end-to-end encrypted services. End-to-end encryption is critical to ensuring private communication and often personal safety.Like so many of the save-the-children bills before it, EARN IT will not combat child sexual exploitation, but it will be the largest expansion of state surveillance powers in recent history, eliminating private communication on the internet."Tip of the hat to The Honest Courtesan.
“The science is settled.”
Why the big push to eliminate hydroxychloroquine/zinc as a COVID-19 treatment?
“GUNS? WHO NEEDS THOSE! TOTALLY USELESS AND OUTDATED! EVERYONE IS SUPER CIVIL AND SOCIETY IS VERY STABLE RIGHT NOW!”
We celebrate enabling perpetual victimhood. And then we dare congratulate ourselves for it.
“American doctors are holding a “White Coat Summit” in Washington, D.C. to address “a massive disinformation campaign” by the media about coronavirus.
Dr. Stella Immanuel has successfully treated hundreds of COVID-19 patients using Hydroxychloroquine. This broadcast went viral and Facebook DELETED this video off our page. This censorship is out of control!
Watch as Dr. Immanuel tackles the media's narrative about Hydroxychloroquine.”
We've lost the lessons of the Whiskey Rebellion.

The Decalogue isn't universal. It never has been. Insisting that it applies to everyone is just another way to control the another's behavior. After all, how can they dare question if it's "God's will?"

Do you remember that there was a Plan? I do.
Funny how that Plan has changed until after the first part of November, isn't it?

“Capitalism gets a bad rap because so many people want power over us. Here's the Simple Truth.”
I"m sworn to veritas and truth is not singular.
Should there be an "official" American language? Problems with "bilingual education" as opposed to learning another language. The two things are not the same and are applied for completely different reasons.

Despite the best of intentions, the U.S. Department of Education is fundamentally illegal.
A short one adapted from a discussion at another site.Yes, America is doomed. Yes, America is failing. And no, election games won't save it.
Adapted from a long discussion on another site.Funny how all this was predicted in a 2010 Rockefeller Foundation report. It's almost like there is a master plan.
When I wrote the original version of this, I did not have a working political blog. So it got a lot more political than my usual lexicon entries.
“This song was played frequently on KVIL in Dallas back in 1980. Until today, I had feared that this song was lost. When i came across a recorded performance today I was elated! It is a wonderful song of patriotism that this country really needs! Please watch it and share it with your friends and help revive the song!”
“This 4th of July, when you watch the fireworks, will you think about the Declaration of Independence?
We should. After all, the holiday is meant to honor the Declaration. It, and the Constitution it led to, help keep us free.”
“Dennis Prager has traveled all over the world. But at the end of every trip, he returns home with a new appreciation for America. Why? Because no country is more open, more generous, and has done more for the cause of freedom than America has.”

“Breaking it down is very simple to understand.”
“Political activists have started to take over newsrooms, forcing out people who hold “offensive” opinions.
Where is all the intolerance coming from?”
Stand up for what you think is right even if you stand alone. But don't force anyone to stand with you.
“A citizen and the government have a friendly chat about home ownership, corn, consenting relationships, and war.”
I didn't think it was possible. Me, the self-proclaimed political junkie. And I am burned out on politics.
“Our lovely and unbiased healthcare professionals are here to explain why your job and family are stupid and not a worthy reason to put lives at risk, but rubbing shoulders with 10,000 strangers to shake signs and burn cars is!”
“If you’ve been to New York, you’ve probably visited Central Park. But there’s a part of its story you won't see.
It’s a story that goes back to the 1820s, when that part of New York was largely open countryside. Soon it became home to about 1,600 people. Among them was a predominantly black community that bought up affordable plots to build homes, churches and a school. It became known as Seneca Village. And when Irish and German immigrants moved in, it became a rare example at the time of an integrated neighborhood.
Everything changed on July 21, 1853. New York took control of the land to create what would become the first major landscaped park in the US -- they called it “The Central Park.”
In the Vox series Missing Chapter, Vox Senior Producer Ranjani Chakraborty revisits underreported and often overlooked moments from the past to give context to the present. Join her as she covers the histories that are often left out of our textbooks. Our first season tackles stories of racial injustice, political conflicts, even the hidden history of US medical experimentation.”
“Protestors who have formed the Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone (or CHAZ) in Seattle have released a series of demands, which include, among other things, free housing, college and socialized medicine.”
“In the years following the Civil War, Booker T. Washington devoted his life to helping blacks transition out of slavery and into freedom. While his ideas were never fully embraced in his time, today, more than a century later, they remain strikingly relevant. Derryck Green from Project 21 explains.”
“…the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.”
Pinned to top until after the riots end.“His famous line that a "riot is the language of the unheard" is often taken out of context.”

Pinned to the top while the discussion is lively.“The 2020 graduating class faces challenges unlike any class before it. Uncertainty looms at every turn: job prospects, social interactions, and many other aspects of “normal life” once taken for granted. So what lessons can be learned from this unparalleled situation? Dennis Prager offers three.”
“A citizen and the government have a friendly chat about policing, taxes, CDC testing, and marijuana.”
Something very screwy is going on. There are at least eight agendas here.
