A local Massachusetts Democratic Committee chairman who suggested that unborn babies with disabilities should be aborted to save money on special education will retain his position despite a public outcry against him. According to the Boston Herald, “Committee members on Sunday voted unanimously, 27-0, to endorse a statement ‘repudiating’ chairman Michael Hugo’s comments, but the committee opposed a motion to add an agenda item to a future meeting to discuss whether Hugo should be removed.” Click for Full Text!
Muslim Politician With Possible Extremist Links Poised to Become Scotland’s Next Leader

Following Scottish First Minister Nicola Sturgeon’s February 15 announcement of her resignation, the race for both the leadership of the Scottish National Party (SNP) and Scotland as a country began. Although political pundits have singled out Cabinet Secretary Kate Forbes as a potential successor, Forbes’ Presbyterian beliefs and opposition to LGBTQ+ and other liberal ideologies have provoked leftist assaults on her character and ability to lead the nation. Thus, another very likely candidate to succeed Sturgeon has been Scottish Health Minister Humza Yousaf, who likely has links both to the Muslim Brotherhood and other extremist groups. For eight years, Nicola Sturgeon’s ...
Biden Admin Using CHIPS Act to Force Taxpayers to Fund Daycare for Tech Workers

The Biden administration is using the recently enacted CHIPS Act to force Americans to subsidize childcare for people employed in the manufacturing of semiconductors. Rather than seeking for some sort of spending bill to work its way through Congress — as is required by the U.S. Constitution — the Biden Commerce Department is using the money being offered to the semiconductor industry to surreptitiously spend taxpayer funds to set up childcare facilities at all the factories receiving money from this latest act of the executive.

One might have thought the tranny craze had reached apogee when USA Today risibly called Richard Levine, the assistant secretary of Health and Human Services who pretends he is a woman named “Rachel,” one of the newspaper’s women of the year. But alas, Hershey’s — yes, that Hershey’s — has done them one better. The candy conglomerate put a man-lady in an advertisement for International Women’s Day. Click for Full Text!

Over the course of many evenings in 1952 and 1953, when I was a kindergartner, my family gathered around a hand-me-down TV in the Chicago housing project where we lived to watch Victory at Sea. With stirring music and solemn narration, this 26-part documentary produced by NBC offered an inspiring account of World War II as a righteous conflict in which freedom had triumphed over evil, in large part thanks to the exertions of the United States. The country had waged a people’s war, fought by millions of ordinary citizens who had answered the call of duty. The war’s outcome testified to the strength of American democracy. Here was history in all its seductive and terrible ...
Occupational Licensing: Giving Government Power Over Prosperity

The state Legislature of Virginia is poised to approve a bill that would grant comity to occupational licenses issued by other states. This event might not sound particularly newsworthy, but anything that takes prosperity out of the hands of the government and places it back in the hands of the people is good news for liberty and those who cherish it.

Less than two weeks after a driver rammed into one of the bedrooms of his Austin, Texas, home, Chris Newby got a letter from the city telling him his house was now in violation of city code and that he had 30 days to get it repaired or he faced $2,000 a day in fines. The letter was dated on the day the driver smashed into Newby's home. City officials said the building inspector was notified about the accident by the fire department and that it is city policy to send such letters after a house is damaged. Click for Full Text!
The US/NATO War Against Russia

The US/NATO war against Russia via proxy Ukraine is one of the most ridiculous, unnecessary, contrived wars ever devised. It was initiated and engineered by the United States with two main objectives: 1) to weaken and destroy Russia, and 2) to make America’s European “allies” (vassal states) more dependent economically on the USA. This situation is extremely dangerous as certain elements in the Washington political establishment would like to escalate the conflict to a nuclear war. Click for Full Text!

Russian President Vladimir Putin has ordered officials to tighten security on the border with Ukraine, after several drones targeted areas deep inside the Russian territory. Putin made the remarks during a speech at a meeting of the Federal Security Service (FSB) board in the capital Moscow on Tuesday, without referring to any specific attacks. However, his comments came hours after drones, which the Kremlin said were launched by Ukraine, hit several regions in southern and western Russia. Click for Full Text!
The Department of Homeland Security Turns 20. Its Legacy Is Disastrous.

To those who don't remember the events of September 11, 2001, it can be difficult to convey the sense of dread and uncertainty that followed. As horrible as the attacks were, many of us wondered: What's next? It was in this context that Congress quickly passed, and President George W. Bush signed, such legislation as the USA PATRIOT Act, less than two months after 9/11. While that law was drafted with the best of intentions— strengthening the nation's defenses against potential future attacks—in practice, authorities overwhelmingly use it to circumvent Americans' basic freedoms like privacy and due process.

Peter Schiff: History Shows It’s Impossible to Put the Inflation Genie Back in the Bottle

The markets basically shrugged off the hotter-than-expected inflation data for January. Most people remain convinced that the Fed can easily get price inflation back to 2% without wrecking the economy. But in his podcast, Peter explains that stuffing that inflation genie back into the bottle is a lot harder than most people seem to think. Both the CPI and the PPI came in hotter than expected in January. Click for Full Text!

In the (1955) edition of his top-selling Economics text, Paul Samuelson claimed economists had finally determined how economies worked. As he put it: In recent years 90 percent of American economists have stopped being “Keynesian economists” or “anti-Keynesian economists.” Instead they have worked towards a synthesis of whatever is valuable in older economics and in modern theories of income determination. The result might be called neo-classical synthesis and is accepted in its broad outlines by all but about 5 percent of extreme left wing and right wing writers. Click for Full Text!

Following the killing of seven Hindus back in January amid two attacks in Dhangri village in India’s Kashmir region, the country’s authorities have brought back a government-funded militia — providing thousands of villagers, including some teenagers, arms and training. Officially known as the “Village Defense Group,” the militia was first founded in the 1990s to provide a first line of defense against anti- Indian fighters in isolated Himalayan villages where the government had difficulty sending aid rapidly.

The Supreme Court of the United States has declined to review a lower court’s dismissal of the Wikimedia Foundation’s lawsuit against a National Security Agency (NSA) domestic surveillance program exposed in 2013 by Edward Snowden. With the Court’s citing of “state secrets privilege” as a prohibition against such litigation, debates in Congress on the question of whether to renew the statute authorizing the program might be the last hope of relief for Americans who cherish the U.S. Constitution and the freedoms protected by the Bill of Rights.

Teen Girls Drowning in Sadness, Despair & Suicidal Thoughts: CDC

Almost six out of ten girls felt persistently sad or hopeless and about one in three seriously considered suicide in 2021, according to new data released by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC). The skyrocketing numbers were not quite as bad among boys, but rates of sadness and suicidal thinking nevertheless rose to new heights among males, too. The data, gathered under the CDC’s controversial Youth Risk Behavior Survey (YRBS), showed that teen girls are reporting “the highest levels of sexual violence, sadness, and hopelessness” ever recorded by the CDC, it said. With three out of every five girls now reporting persistent sadness or hopelessness, that figure is up 60 ...
Sheriff's Employee Embezzled Funds in Keeping with the Spirit of Civil Asset Forfeiture

Critics of civil asset forfeiture quite rightly refer to the practice of swiping cash and property from people accused (but not convicted) of crimes as "legalized theft." That enrages law enforcement types who insist they're just abiding by the law, never mind that the law is contemptible. But there are times when forfeiture clearly crosses over into outright robbery, such as when John Cox, an Albany County, New York, sheriff's department employee, used seized proceeds to cover his lousy luck with cards or horses. It's simultaneously awful and thoroughly in keeping with the policy of civil asset forfeiture. "The head of the Albany County Sheriff's Office ...

Today's episode is pulled from our recent conversation about government regulation of cryptocurrency and related matters that we had with Hester Peirce, a renegade commissioner at the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the Depression-era agency whose task it is to supposedly "protect investors," "maintain fair, orderly, and efficient markets," and "facilitate capital formation." When the SEC recently fined the cryptocurrency exchange Kraken for supposedly offering an unregistered security, Peirce publicly broke with her colleagues, ...

The US Congress last tried to grapple with what the country’s ballooning security services were up to nearly half a century ago. In 1975, the Church Committee managed to take a fleeting, if far from complete, snapshot of the netherworld in which agencies such as the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI) and National Security Agency (NSA) operate.

Study: Taking Cross-sex Hormones Carries “Substantial” Risk of Heart Attack or Stroke

Individuals taking cross-sex hormones to relieve their gender dysphoria have “a substantially increased risk of serious cardiac events, including stroke, heart attack, and pulmonary embolism,” according to a new American College of Cardiology (ACC) study. As the transgenderism phenomenon has exploded, doctors have been prescribing hormone therapy for patients who claim to have a “gender identity” that differs from the sex embedded in their genes. An ACC press release describing the study notes that “recent data suggest about 1 million to 1.6 million people identify as transgender in the U.S. and that hormone therapy use is rising rapidly, especially among teens and ...

Lightfoot’s Reign of Ineptitude in Chicago Will Come to an End

Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot finished a distant third in the city’s mayoral election on Tuesday. The night was won by former Chicago Public Schools CEO Paul Vallas, who garnered just under 34 percent of the vote. Cook County Commissioner Brandon Johnson, who is also a Chicago Teachers Union organizer, came in second with just over 20 percent of the vote. Vallas and Johnson will square off in five weeks, on April 4, to see who will become the next mayor of the Windy City. Lightfoot, the first black woman and openly gay mayor in the city’s history, could only manage to secure about 17 percent of the vote, despite being an incumbent. It would seem as if the city weren’t happy ...
