Decriminalize Moonshine!

As state governments kick off their spring legislative seasons, a bill introduced in the Ohio Senate will attempt to legalize home alcohol distilling. Whether this leads to an uptick in at-home distillers in the Buckeye State is a trickier question, especially since home distilling is currently illegal at the federal level. To the average person, it may come as a surprise that distilling liquor in your garage remains illegal in 2023, while homebrewing and winemaking have been legal for decades. Limits on the home production of alcohol trace back to Prohibition, and recent attempts to change the status quo at the federal level have failed to gain traction. Click for Full Text!

The FBI’s contempt for the Constitution and its continued ‘lawful’ spying

Among the lesser-known holes in the Constitution cut by the Patriot Act of 2001 was the destruction of the “wall” between federal law enforcement and federal spies. The wall was erected in the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act of 1978, which statutorily limited all federal domestic spying to that which was authorized by the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court. The wall was intended to prevent law enforcement from accessing and using data gathered by America’s domestic spying agencies. Click for Full Text!

Ukrainian volunteers detailed in comments to The Times how they were unprepared to fight Russian forces near the city of Bakhmut in the Donetsk Oblast, where the two sides have been locked in heavy battles for months. The report came after Russia’s Wagner Group said it took Soledar, a small mining town three miles northeast of Bakhmut. Ukrainian volunteers told The Times that they were supposed to hold the line in the area, but they weren’t armed with any of the advanced equipment the US and NATO have been pouring into the country.

Recently, the battle group of China’s CNS Shandong aircraft carrier conducted a combat exercise in the South China Sea to start its yearly training operations, China’s People’s Liberation Army (PLA) Navy announced. Various J-15 fighter jets participated in an air-defense drill to intercept “incoming enemy aircraft,” and pilots ran a slew of sophisticated tactical maneuvers before locking on their targets and simulating missile strikes, the PLA Navy declared in an article on its WeChat account.

The Courts Are Rejecting Biden's Antitrust Crusade

In summer 2021, President Joe Biden issued an executive order on "Promoting Competition in the American Economy." A White House fact sheet declared that the economy was "booming under President Biden's leadership," saying the order was "building on this economic momentum" by pushing back against corporate consolidation, primarily through aggressive antitrust enforcement. A little more than a year later, the economy was flailing. Myriad economists and business leaders warned that the country was on the brink of a recession. Biden's antitrust effort was not performing much better. In late 2022, the government suffered a string of losses in high-profile ...

John Kerry fuels Davos controversy with ‘ET’ speech

US climate envoy John Kerry has drawn widespread mockery for his speech to the World Economic Forum, in which he sought to portray the people gathered there as wise saviors of the world. “When you start to think about it, it’s pretty extraordinary that we – a select group of human beings, because of whatever touched us at some point in our lives – are able to sit in a room and come together and actually talk about saving the planet,” Kerry told a WEF panel on Tuesday.

Kissinger Changes Position, Says Ukraine Should Join NATO

Former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger said in a video address to the World Economic Forum (WEF) on Tuesday that Ukraine joining NATO would be an “appropriate outcome” of the war, reversing his previous position that Kyiv shouldn’t join the Western military alliance. “Before this war, I was opposed to membership of Ukraine in NATO because I feared that it would start exactly the process that we have seen now,” Kissinger said. “Now that this process has reached this level, the idea of a neutral Ukraine under these conditions is no longer meaningful.” Click for Full Text!
Don't Call it Capitalism: The Fed's $8 Trillion Hoard of Financial Assets

It’s a sure bet that as the economy worsens, unemployment surges, foreclosures rise, defaults climb, and economic misery ensues, we’ll be told it’s all capitalism’s fault. The question one must ask, however, is, “What capitalism?” The claim that “too much” capitalism drives every economic calamity is standard among anticapitalists on both the left and the right. They have many bullet points claiming government programs and government spending are everywhere retreating while free-market capitalism is experiencing a resurgence. This can be easily shown to be empirically false. Evidence can be found in everything from the continual flood of government ...

Indians regard the United States as the largest military threat after China and put more blame on NATO and Washington than on Russian President Vladimir Putin for his actions in Ukraine, based on findings from a new survey. Around 43 percent of the 1,000 respondents deemed China — with whom India has a long-standing border contest and has seen hostilities rise again since 2020 — as the largest threat, the survey by Morning Consult, a U.S.- based global business intelligence company, revealed.

A man died earlier this month after being Tased six times in less than a minute by Los Angeles police during a traffic incident. Now activists are demanding answers and changes to how, or even whether, police should respond to these types of calls. Body camera footage released a week ago from the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) shows Keenan Darnell Anderson, 31, in pretty bad mental shape when police showed up at the scene of a car crash at a busy Venice intersection on January 3. According to the LAPD, officers were responding to a call of a hit-and-run, and witnesses said Anderson, driving a BMW, was responsible for the crash. Anderson was a 10th-grade English teacher in Washington, ...

Julie Hudson spent a week in a Pennsylvania jail because a police officer in Texas thought she looked like a robbery suspect. Hudson, a doctoral student at Holy Family University, had been told she had an outstanding warrant when she was turned down for a job she'd applied for. When she went to police to find out why, she was arrested on a warrant from Texas, a state she has never been to. It took seven days for police in Webster, Texas, to determine she wasn't the woman they were looking for. Why did they think she was? Click for Full Text!

Evidence that Economic Freedom Improves Outcomes

The latest Economic Freedom of North America report issued by the Fraser Institute marks the first time economists have had a full four decades’ worth of data on economic freedom across the fifty United States. Those less familiar with economic research claim that economics isn’t a science because economists can’t conduct controlled experiments. Yet where economists can’t conduct controlled experiments (behavioral economists do conduct controlled experiments), they employ complicated statistical techniques to compensate for the fact that they must take data as they come. Here, the Fraser Institute has given economists a treasure-trove of data that provide insight into ...

Pentagon Sends US Artillery Shells Stored in Israel and South Korea to Ukraine

The US has dipped into stockpiles of arms it keeps in Israel and South Korea to supply Ukraine with more artillery shells, The New York Times reported Tuesday, citing anonymous US and Israeli officials. The stockpile in Israel is meant to supply the US for its conflicts in the Middle East and is also used occasionally by Israel. Between the two stockpiles, the US has shipped hundreds of thousands of artillery shells to Ukraine, as Kyiv’s war effort is entirely reliant on the flow of US ammunition. Click for Full Text!

I find the self-anointed gatekeepers who claim to be the sole arbiters of the truth very amusing (also pathetic). Apparently if you want to accumulate unsustainable deficits, inadequately fund liabilities, print an infinite amount of money, and engage in never- ending wars, then you are a moderate, sound, sane, reasonable, and rational person. Anyone that disputes or dissents from that position must be a dangerous radical. Click for Full Text!

War Lessons

Most likely, the first war in human history was one group of guys rushing at another group of guys, swinging fists and anything they could use as a club. It did not take long before a man decided that it was a good idea to use his hunting weapons to ward off these attacks or compliment these attacks. After all, if a gang of men with spears could take down a large animal, the same tactics would work on humans. From there the arms race was on among the human species. The club was probably the first weapon of war. The spear would be the first tool converted for use in war. The shield was the first tool of war created specifically for use in combat against other men. Unlike the club, the ...

Freshly sworn in Thursday for a second term in Georgia, Gov. Brian Kemp is headed abroad next week to tout the state’s economic record in rarefied air at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. The Republican governor, who attributes his comfortable victory in November to Georgia’s recent investment successes and what he has characterized as a balanced approach to fiscal issues and the pandemic, will rub shoulders with global elites across the corporate, government and nonprofit sectors.

This subject can only be approached with extreme pessimism, because in order to gain real and honest justice in this heinous system, one must deal with the courts. It should be obvious to most, but it is not, that all courts are in fact an arm of, and an integral part of the State. In fact, the courts are government, and therefore complicit in government crime. In order to gain redress from intentional or negligent harm due to government or government controlled, funded, or sponsored entities, the arbiter in every case against government is that same government. Could any more dangerous or discriminatory contradiction or conflict of interest exist? I think not, but this system was purposely ...
Gender Ideology Breaches the Gates of Medicine

If you relied exclusively on the legacy media for the news, you’d never know that, recently, the Catholic Medical Association, along with other faith-and-reason-based medical organizations, issued an open letter to the American Medical Association, American Academy of Pediatrics, and other medical advocates of “gender-affirming care” for minors suffering from gender dysphoria. In the open letter, the CMA and its co-authors appeal to all medical professionals’ common interest in minimizing suffering and improving care for these children and adolescents through the unbiased appraisal of existing medical evidence regarding causes and treatments, pointing out that ...
