Did the Fourteenth Amendment Alter the Meaning of the Second Amendment?

When proposing the Fourteenth Amendment to Congress in 1866, Senator Jacob Howard referred to “the personal rights guaranteed and secured by the first eight amendments of the Constitution; such as freedom of speech and of the press; ... the right to keep and bear arms....” He averred that “the great object” of the amendment was “to restrain the power of the States and compel them at all times to respect these great fundamental guarantees.” The design was not to change the nature of the rights, but to prevent the states from violating them. The Second Amendment was ratified in 1791, and the Fourteenth Amendment was ratified in 1868. The Supreme Court stated in ...

The White House believes Ukraine’s military could retake the Crimean Peninsula from Russia. However, officials say the offensive may cross Moscow’s "red lines" and prompt a nuclear strike. The Biden administration has radically changed its view of Kiev’s military since Russia invaded nearly ten months ago. The Ukrainians "continue to shock the world with how well they’re performing on the battlefield," an unnamed official said. Click for Full Text!

“Who’s running the show at the White House?” is one of the unanswered questions often asked about Joe Biden in light of his dementia laden, Obama-esque presidency, but thanks to a recent admission by White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, we now know that Obama’s former National Security Advisor and the current head of Biden’s Domestic Policy Council, Susan Rice, is in charge of policy on issues from gun control to student loan debt.

Out of Order

When you see an “Out of Order” sign posted, you know that something doesn’t work. It’s broken. It could be that it simply needs a new part or component, and supplying it puts things back into working order. It could be that it needs to be filled with something—fuel or lubricant for an engine or product for a vending machine—and supplying that which is lacking puts it back into working order. In this way, out of order indicates a static and inactive thing. It’s broken, so it just sits there, until someone does something to fix it. Rarely, however, do we think that an out-of-order sign indicates not only that the thing is not working but also that it is ...

The angel Gabriel announces to the virgin Mary that she is to be the mother of the Messiah. Nothing is impossible for God. Mary is taken by surprise. She wasn’t planning on this. She was engaged to be married. In hindsight, it is pretty obvious that the Mother of Our Lord needed to be married. She would need a husband to raise the Messiah. The Messiah would need an earthly father in order to be properly protected, provided for, and educated. I don’t think that is what we usually think about when we hear that the virgin will conceive and bear a Son. We don’t think about her being married or the Messiah’s need for an earthly father. We focus on the miracle of conception ...
U.S. to Send More Wunderwaffen to Ukraine

A new round of Wunderwaffen deliveries to Ukraine is taking place. It is unlikely to change the strategic or even operational picture of the war. The U.S. and its ‘allies’ are engaged in a boil-the-frog operation in which they steadily increase the lethality and complexity of arms and other support they deliver to Ukraine. At some point in time this process will cross Russian red lines. That’s when it will become really interesting … Click for Full Text!

Washington, D.C. — What is behind the rise in sudden fatalities among young, healthy Americans? According to Edward Dowd’s book, “‘Cause Unknown’ – The Epidemic of Sudden Deaths in 2021 and 2022,” there was an increase in deaths in America in 2020, though it was less severe than you might expect during a pandemic. Some of these deaths were linked to COVID-19 and ineffective initial treatment methods. However, in 2021, the statistics that many had anticipated went in an unexpected direction. The CEO of the insurance company OneAmerica, Scott Davison, publicly disclosed that during the third and fourth quarters of 2021, death in people of working age ...

It’s been said there’s no such thing as a controlled experiment in the social sciences, including economics. But we had something close to a laboratory experiment back in 1920-1921 and 1930-1931. In each of these periods there was a depression. Unemployment was high – for awhile — it was higher in the 1920s than in the 1930s. Prices were falling in both periods. Click for Full Text!
15-Minute City Insanity Is Only 'Climate Change' Lockdown Madness

“We are fast approaching the stage of the ultimate inversion: the stage where the government is free to do anything it pleases, while the citizens may act only by permission; which is the stage of the darkest periods of human history, the stage of rule by brute force.” ~ Ayn Rand While the masses continue to happily accept any and every tiny bit of ‘permission’ to have a miniscule amount of ‘freedom,’ all at the whim of the rulers, the drive toward more ‘climate change’ lockdown policy and societal regulation and total control are going forward quickly and without restriction. The candy offered to the herd in the form of temporary lifting of ...

Among the most satisfying of my professional duties as an economics educator is one that, when I got my first job at George Mason University, I did not anticipate performing. Nor do I receive for my performance of this duty any financial compensation. But the intellectual and emotional compensations are immense. This duty is communicating, mostly by email, with students from around the country, and sometimes from abroad, about economics and liberalism. Most of these students are in college, but some are in high school. Also, I occasionally receive emails from high-school teachers. I share here four of my letters from the past few years. The first is a 2016 letter to a student at the ...
The Tea Party, Fifteen Years Later

December 16, 2022, is the fifteenth anniversary of the modern Tea Party. That fact will come as a surprise to many readers who take the mainstream narrative about the Tea Party at face value. The mainstream account begins on February 19, 2009, when Rick Santelli, live on CNBC from the trading floor of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME), declared a rebellion against "socialism" one month into the Obama administration. If you’re already sensing something amiss, that’s understandable. An editor at establishment NBC lighting the fire of an anti-establishment rebellion? An uprising over mere proposed Obama bailouts of mortgage holders coming four months after silence over ...

In his famous dissent in Olmstead v. United States, Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis in 1928 called the right to be left alone the most comprehensive of rights and the right most valued by civilized men. He was referring to the right to be left alone from the government — a right that today we call privacy. Olmstead was involved in bootlegging, and the feds tapped his phones without any search warrants. The Supreme Court, which had never recognized the right to privacy, permitted the use of the overheard conversations as evidence in his criminal trial. Click for Full Text!

The New York Times and its clones in cable news and print media are eager to remind us of their devotion to “marginalized groups.” These groups aren’t actually marginalized, as you know. They and their political demands are supported and celebrated in academia, the media, entertainment, media, the Fortune 500, the mainline Christian denominations — pretty much every major institution in American society. That’s what “marginalized” means to CNN. Click for Full Text!

Christmas Cookie Inflation Index, 2022 Update

Last year, I was not prepared for the reaction to my annual updating of the Christmas Cookie Inflation Index (CCII). More precisely, I was not prepared for the partisan defensiveness and aggression from a portion of our audience regarding my annual (lighthearted) discussion of inflation. This year I’m going to try and blunt that reaction by issuing the following statement right at the top: Nothing that I write here should be construed to be for or against any national political party or politician. I do not personally believe, and I am not trying to suggest, that the policies of a specific national politician or party has caused or alleviated inflation, gas prices, food prices, or the ...

A pro-Beijing student who stalked and threatened a pro-democracy activist has been arrested, said U.S. prosecutors on Wednesday. According to the Justice Department, Wu Xiaolei, 25, a student at Boston’s Berklee College of Music, a private institution commonly regarded as the largest independent college of contemporary music in the world, saw someone posting flyers on October 22 near the university containing messages that said “Stand with Chinese People,” “We Want Freedom,” and “We Want Democracy.” Click for Full Text!
