In 2020, many of us have become accustomed to terms and concepts we never thought we’d be discussing: “social distancing,” mask requirements, and Zoom parties all come to mind. We can add Section 230 to that list, an obscure provision of the Communications and Decency Act (1996) that was previously unknown to most. Section 230…
Earlier this week, Congress shat out a grotesque log of legislation so smelly that it temporarily unified the left and right in horrified disgust. If you were expecting government goodies in your Christmas stocking, you got a big fat poo from Uncle Sam in there instead. (Spoiler alert: that’s no Baby Ruth bar.) The Consolidated…
Pro-war groups, eat your heart out. President Donald Trump just vetoed a massive defense bill in one of the best moments of his presidency. Of course, failure to meet his demand to abolish Section 230 is part of his reasoning, but a policy win is a policy win. Trump also cited opposition to renaming military…
by Conner Drigotas In the last hours before a final vote on the second COVID stimulus bill, two members of Congress had the same principled reaction to a very important point. Representatives Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) and Representative Justin Amash both tweeted their disgust that mere hours before a pivotal vote on the omnibus COVID stimulus…

Although, it did provide the coverage, it was done with the government forcing many to get insurance or face a penalty. Artificially forcing people to pay for…
Few people realize that the Moderna vaccine against COVID-19—which the FDA has finally declared “highly effective,” and which is now being distributed to Americans—has actually been available for nearly a year. But the government wouldn’t let you take it. The vaccine, a triumph of medical science known as mRNA-1273, was designed in a single weekend,…
Libertarians are underdogs. The game is rigged against us. The Republican/Democrat duopoly colluded to effectively prevent any 3rd party from winning. There is no major institution in the country with a strong libertarian influence. Hollywood. The education system. Congress. The president. The corporate media. The deep state. All are anti-libertarian. Increasing spending, foreign wars, domestic…
If there is a time and place to fight for freedom and defeat of socialism, it is the two Georgia Senate runoff races on January 5, 2021. It is up to Georgians to stop socialism in the U.S. before it starts. There is nothing in the U.S. Constitution, prohibiting socialism, a political/economic theory advocating government…
Phil Zuckerman, Pitzer College The voting patterns of religious groups in the U.S. have been scrutinized since the presidential election for evidence of shifting allegiances among the faithful. Many have wondered if a boost in Catholic support was behind Biden’s win or if a dip in support among evangelicals helped doom Trump. But much less…
“My life is a lie! Somebody’s gotta get stabbed!” -Frank Reynolds, It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia (Disclaimer 1: I do not have children. After you read this, you will probably say, “Thank God.”) When I was a child, my family took Christmas very seriously. Though we weren’t what you would call serious churchgoers, we went…
