Freedom is a valuable and precious gift worth fighting for. As Sundance notes:
We Americans come from solid stock. We carry in our DNA a fortitude of individual identity that is not dependent on government for affirmation or permission. We are the beneficiaries of those who believed in stubborn independence.
It is a world being constructed that no longer makes sense. It is Utopia according to those who are building it. It is being constructed right before our eyes and we are being instructed that we have to accept it. It is a world in which there are no rights, only permissions.
A friend forwarded the following speech by Ronald Reagan to me. I believe that it is very relevant to where we are as a nation today.
Dr. Tom Woods has written another post on the insanity within our government regarding public health issues.
Some insights from a US Senator. (hat tip…RM)
JFK On Parking Lots & Crackheads.
RECENT QUOTES FROM SENATOR JOHN KENNEDY, LOUISIANA
First of all, I’m John Kennedy, not that John Kennedy, I am the other John Kennedy, the Senator representing the great state of Louisiana.
Permit me to tell you what I believe.
Some of you may recall the “Disinformation Governance Board” (DGB) that was proposed by the administration a while back. It flared briefly in the heavens before suffering a rapid demise. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS), had suggested that Nina Jankowicz lead this organization. Of course, as everyone knows by now, she herself is a serial spreader of misinformation.
Officially the creation of this new federal agency has been “paused.” The board had been the subject of weeks of backlash from Republicans, libertarians and even some liberals, who likened the scheme to the Ministry of Truth from George Orwell’s classic novel “1984.”
Exactly what “paused” means is unclear. Knowing Washington and the corrupt bureaucrats who live there, it probably means that they will wait until they can sneak it back into existence during the dead of night. There is growing resistance to any such attempt.
This is interesting. The President of Brazil is now questioning the outcome of our 2020 election. This is the second country to publicly cast doubt on Brandon. The first being Russia. I am sure that if Bolsonaro’s concerns gain any traction in this country the left will be howling about potential interference in our election process. Of course, the left would have no problem in attempting to interfere in Brazil’s elections. And that is probably why Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro is voicing his concerns.
Joe Biden took to the podium to demand a litany of new gun restrictions. Biden called for the banning of assault weapons and high-capacity magazines through reinstating the 1994 Federal Assault Weapons Ban.
Biden also called on Congress to construct new federal background checks, which sounded a lot like a federal registration of gun ownership.
From Las Vegas, KTNV reported, “A video from a recent CCSD board meeting is now going viral on social media and making national headlines.
“Kandra Evans addressed the school board saying her 15-year-old daughter was given a pornographic assignment.
“Evans says her daughter was required to memorize the pornographic content and then recite it in front of her entire class.
“CCSD board members then stopped the public comment over the explicit language.”
A school board member said, “This is a public meeting. I ask for decorum.”
Evans replied, “If you don’t want me to read it to you, what was it like for my 15-year-old daughter to have to memorize pornographic material?”
They cut off her microphone.
So much for public comment on what goes on in the classroom. Is it time to end the public school system in this country?
