New York City Mayor Eric Adams Wants You to Love Big Brother

There's a common type of government official who sincerely believes the world would be better and their suffering subjects much happier if the restraints were removed and politicians were free to act as they wish. That their sincere belief in their goodness is exactly why we need those restraints always escapes them. The latest example of the breed is New York City Mayor Eric Adams who, unironically, urges his constituents to embrace the surveillance state because "Big Brother is protecting you."

What the Southwest Meltdown Means for Airline Policy
Post Date: 2022-12-30 17:55:59 by Charles_Byrd

In the wake of the Christmas 2022 breakdown of airline service, politicians and consumer advocates are calling for tougher antitrust policy and even the re-regulation of U.S. airlines. While a once-in-a- generation blizzard encompassing about three-quarters of the continental U.S. would obviously disrupt air (and rail and highway) travel, especially over a major holiday weekend, most airlines recovered pretty well from this unprecedented storm. But not Southwest. With outdated flight- and crew-scheduling technology, the popular lower-cost airline melted down, stranding huge numbers of holiday travelers. To get planes and crews to where they need to be to restore normal service, Southwest ...

Ian Freeman believes he is, as a minister for the Shire Free Church in Keene, New Hampshire, a force for creating a more peaceful and just world. He thinks using and selling bitcoin is a key part of his ministry. As he said on a recent episode of his nationally syndicated radio show Free Talk Live, "I felt my calling to do this mission, to spread peace, and ultimately what bitcoin is doing is undermining the warmonger state. The more dollars are out of circulation, the more disempowered that state is." Freeman—not the last name he was born with—moved to New Hampshire from Florida in 2006 as an early participant in the Free State Project (FSP) because he wanted to help ...

Americans whole-heartedly reject several woke terms created by radical leftists to control ideas and dialogue, the New York Post reported, citing a recent poll from the far-left New York Times. The New York Post Editorial Board on Wednesday pointed to the Times’ online quiz and accompanying poll of 4,000 adults as evidence that “the majority of Americans are not on board with this effort to warp the language to ideological ends.” Some of the jilted words include “chestfeeding,” “birthing parent,” and “Latinx.” Click for Full Text!

A MSNBC host described being “shocked and appalled” Thursday after her children declined to get COVID-19 boosters. “I had a strange conversation with my 22-year-old and my 16-year-old last night, I said, ‘Okay, I booked you in for COVID updates, you’re both back for holidays, you’re going to get your boosters,’ and both of them said, ‘No, we don’t want to. We’ve had enough vaccines and we don’t think we need them,’” Katty Kay told Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel on “Morning Joe.” Click for Full Text!

The Finnish government has announced on Thursday that it has proposed a temporary windfall tax on profits from the country's electricity companies as part of a European Union response to soaring power costs. The proposed 30% tax would apply to any profits exceeding a 10% return on capital in 2023, with the government estimating it could bring in between 500 million and 1.3 billion euros ($533 million-$1.9 billion). If the Finnish government goes ahead with its plans, it will join Germany and the UK as the other EU members that have introduced a windfall tax to energy and power companies. Starting December 1, Germany introduced a special levy that will see the country’s oil, gas ...

Adam Fox, the homeless man the feds framed as the "ringleader" of the FBI- led plot to "kidnap" Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer, was sentenced to 16 years in prison on Tuesday. The feds were asking for Fox to be given a life sentence but the judge -- despite being totally biased in favor of the prosecution -- seems to have been uncomfortable with giving him life in prison just for political gain.

French economic journalist and satirist Frédéric Bastiat, widely known for his sarcastic opposition to protectionism, observed in the mid-1840s, “In the economic sphere an act, a habit, an institution, a law produces not only one effect, but a series of effects. Of these effects, the first alone is immediate; it appears simultaneously with its cause; it is seen. The other effects emerge only subsequently; they are not seen; we are fortunate if we foresee them.” Click for Full Text!

A year ago today (on Dec. 30, 2021) US President Joe Biden, in a telephone conversation with Russian President Vladimir Putin, assured him that "Washington had no intention of deploying offensive strike weapons in Ukraine.” Against that backdrop, bilateral talks in Geneva to start on January 9, 2022 seemed off to a promising start. The Kremlin clearly thought so. Then Biden changed his mind. The key issue of offensive missiles on Russia’s borders fell off the table. Click for Full Text!

William MacAskill, a philosophy professor at Oxford and a leading light of the effective altruism movement, has recently been in the news owing to the frenzied and fraudulent finance of his protégé Sam Bankman-Fried, who now awaits trial. The “effective altruists” took seriously the implications Peter Singer drew from his famous thought experiment: Suppose you come across a small child who is drowning in a pond. You can easily rescue the child, but if you do so, you will ruin the expensive pair of shoes you are wearing. If you refuse to save the child, wouldn’t this show you are a heartless brute? But, Singer says, nothing in the moral point of the example ...
Mumps Vaccine Stumbles in Recent Years

The COVID-19 vaccine debacle has generated a world-wide hysteria over vaccines. Many doctors including myself considered vaccines in the background of traditional allopathic medicine and never put them up on a biotechnology pedestal. In recent years preceding the COVID-19 crisis, there were intensifying calls for universal vaccination with no allowances for medical or religious exemptions. It was almost as if the vaccines had become so compelling, so safe and effective, that no child could escape the CDC childhood vaccine schedule, which by the way, includes the EUA mRNA COVID-19 vaccines with no clinical outcomes or long-term safety data. With that context, its reasonable to look at other ...

The Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) is offering up to $50,000 for information leading to an arrest after a deadly Christmas evening hit- and- run during an illegal street takeover. A driver doing donuts in a circling contest against other drivers during the street takeover in the area of Los Angeles’ Hyde Park neighborhood lost control and went into a crowd of watching pedestrians, killing Elyzza Guajaca and striking other individuals, Detective Ryan Moreno said at a Wednesday press conference covered by Fox 11 Los Angeles. Two other vehicles also participated in the contest, Moreno reported, and an up to $50,000 is available to community members for information leading to the ...

Outgoing Israeli Defense Minister Benny Gantz told a graduating class of Israeli Air Force Pilots that they might be bombing Iran in “two or three years” as Israel has been preparing for strikes on the country. “Israel has significantly increased its preparedness in recent years and is preparing for the possibility of an attack on Iran,” Gantz said, according to The Times of Israel. “You may cross the sky to the east in two or three years and take part in an attack on nuclear sites in Iran, for which we are preparing.” Click for Full Text!

The Case for Disbanding Public Health Agencies

During March of 2020, Sweden’s state epidemiologist, Anders Tegnell, showed us how public health can be managed ethically by refusing to lockdown Sweden’s residents. The rest of the public health discipline, however, entered the territory in which we now place the universally castigated discipline of eugenics. Eugenics breaches ethics and causes enormous harm to the fabric of mankind. Likewise, lockdowns breach ethics and have terrorized or killed millions of people worldwide. I recently assisted Professor Gigi Foster in preparing a cost-benefit analysis of Australia’s response to covid-19. This analysis, published as a book, shows that the harm caused by lockdowns in ...

Will Americans wake up to the reality that they’ve been walking on the wrong side of history for too long or has the point of no-return been crossed? Bipartisan insanity was on display again this week as the U.S. congress responded to Biden’s requested $37 billion in additional aid to Ukraine by giving him $45 billion bringing the total U.S. support to its Davos- managed disposable ward up to $111 billion.

New Report Details Media Malfeasance Regarding Climate Change

If you happen to believe that much of the hype surrounding so-called climate change is manufactured by an agenda-driven mass media, you’re not alone. A new report created by the Competitive Enterprise Institute (CEI), the Heartland Institute, and other climate realism groups presents several examples of media hyperbole in regard to the climate-change narrative currently being pushed by globalist entities such as the United Nations. Climate Fact Check 2022 details just a few instances of how mainstream media exaggerates weather events, making them seem unprecedented or historical when the actual truth is far different.

Each year, millions of American high school students take the Preliminary SAT, a standardized test whose highest scorers are recognized by the National Merit Scholarship Program (NMSP). Being awarded by the NMSP is one of the top academic awards available to American high school students. The achievement is a sought-after line item on college applications and is often accompanied by thousands of dollars in merit scholarships. However, according to one parent and journalist, the top-ranked high school in the country has been neglecting to inform students that they have won NMSP recognition for years, resulting in over a thousand students being denied the opportunity to apply for crucial ...
Congress and the Federal Reserve Could Be Setting Us Up for Economic Disaster

In the final week of 2022, we Americans can foresee two significant economic risks in 2023. The first one is a probability that the Federal Reserve will get weak-kneed and stop raising interest rates before inflation is truly under control. The second risk is that Congress will continue to spend and borrow money irresponsibly. The likely mix of these two hazards would all but ensure that our economic misery lasts much longer than necessary. Let's start with the first risk. In theory, to tame inflation, the Fed will need to push real interest rates not only high—as it has already done—but higher than the highest rate that the Fed is now targeting, and in fact much higher than ...
