The law of the harvest says we reap what we sow. In the case of our societal fixation on "wokeness" we find that we've elected astonishingly incompetent leaders. Robert Weiss describes how the Taliban may have just provided us with a Sputnik moment for wokeness.
We're also getting an object lesson in unintended consequences thanks to the various Covid mandates being enforced by employers and the state. Jon Miltimore has an excellent piece on the massive nurse shortage that's hitting Houston after more than 150 nurses and healthcare workers were fired for being unvaxxed. Whoops.
One of the toughest things many of us are facing today is a very clear realignment in our relationships with the people around us. Allan Stevo has a beautiful essay on how it's okay and natural to part paths with friends in a time such as this. I found his take to be very reassuring.
Like it or not, we're living through truly historic times. Someday, your children's children may ask you about what it was like during the Shame Wars. Will you be able to tell them you were on the right side?

At the risk of sounding like the old man who yells at clouds, why is the spectacle of men in dresses becoming a thing? Annie Holmquist has a timely reality supplement for those of us scratching our heads at the gender-bending fashion trend that seems to be taking hold.
When it comes to avoiding the coronavirus, are you safer to just stay at home? Gerald P. O'Driscoll Jr. has an answer that may surprise you. He says don't stay home and there are some notable studies that strongly support the idea that more freedom leads to better health.
Anyone who travels with cash is taking a very big risk of losing it. Not to common thieves but to government agents who behave like common thieves under the color of authority. C.J. Ciaramella shares the story of a grandfather from New Orleans who lost his life savings to the DEA because he tried to take his money with him on a flight.
If you're not familiar with Ambrose Bierce, you're missing out on getting acquainted with a truly great mind. Jim Bovard has a terrific column on Bierce's way with words and his ability to cut through the rhetorical smokescreen that politicians hide behind.

Are we supposed to believe that anyone who hasn't yet availed himself of the Covid vaccine is doing so out of selfishness, stupidity or is clinging to conspiracy theories? As Hannah Cox explains, these aren't the only possible reasons that one might abstain. The real issue is that some people simply will not be coerced into doing something against their will.
The reactions to what is happening in Afghanistan are revealing a curious blind spot that many Americans have regarding what their government has done and is doing to other nations. Edward Snowden has some fascinating insight into what's happening over there and he has a warning for us. If we're convinced that Afghani citizens are trapped in a hell of their own making, what does that say about us?
It's not bad to be generally trusting of other people. But check out this TikTok video of a preschool teacher celebrating her latest triumph. And then take a few minutes to watch this Utah school teacher on the first day of school, laying down the ideological law to her students. Now ask yourself, is it possible that we've been a bit too trusting of those who are shaping our children's minds?

We're fortunate to have a friend like Eric Peters on the side of freedom and liberty. We cover a number of current events in our discussion today including the creation of health kulaks and our ongoing subjugation.
The fear that so many feel over Covid is causing a kind of tunnel vision to set in where the bigger picture can be difficult to see. Martin Armstrong explains how the virus is being used as a Trojan horse by certain opportunists who are eager to gain control over as much of humanity as possible.
If you get the sense that things are happening so quickly these days that it's difficult to keep up, you're in good company. A lot of narratives are falling apart right before our eyes. James Howard Kunstler says to prepare for strange days ahead.
The scenes coming out of Afghanistan are chaotic and wrenching. The blame game is in full swing as well. If you want a solid take from the guy who was sounding the warning all along, Ron Paul is the man. He says that Kabul has fallen but don't blame Biden.

The growing division between those who support tyranny and those who defy it is becoming very clear. But we seldom stop to ask the question of why people embrace these viewpoints. Brandon Smith has a fascinating take on what motivates some individuals to seek control over the people around them and others who simply wish to be left alone.
If you find yourself feeling demoralized lately, you are certainly not alone. The way out of this swamp of demoralization starts with reclaiming your own life. Allan Stevo has some excellent advice on how to separate yourself from the things that are demoralizing you.

The push to mask and vaccinate children is growing and one of the central arenas where this is playing out is within our public school systems. Kerry McDonald says this may be the year to redshirt your kindergartener as you explore alternatives.
Maintaining a sense of perspective isn't easy right now. Thank heavens for writers like Jon Miltimore and his latest piece on 8 things kids are more likely to die from than Covid--according to the CDC.
My heros are the folks who are willing to stand and be counted even when it requires being treated like dirt. Here's a great example of how a woman in Israel defied the maskers at her grocery store and learned that it's largely a huge bluff that banks on our being intimidated into submission.

There's so much enemy-driven thinking going on these days that it takes real effort not to be caught up in it. Joakim Book has an excellent essay about whether enemies can be friends and how to separate our viewpoints from what it takes to be a decent person.
Dr. Dan Stock is a family physician who recently spoke up during a school board meeting in Mt. Vernon, Indiana. The ferocity with which his comments are being yanked from most social media platforms sparked my curiosity about what he had to say. Watch it for yourself here and decide for yourself if his viewpoint is so dangerous that we should be shielded from it.
If you're resistant to the ongoing coercion and pressure to vaccinate, you probably already see the writing on the wall. Life is about to become very difficult. Daisy Luther explains how the shocking and dehumanizing discrimination against the unvaccinated is finding acceptance in mainstream society.

Fear of Covid is displacing the justified concern over the harm that follows unchecked government power. There are far too many people who are comfortable with the idea of using government force to vaccinate people against their will. John Tamny warns that freedom from forced vaccination is the only path toward broad vaccination.
Kris Kimball checks in from Mike Lindell's Cyber Symposium. Those lingering doubts about the 2020 election aren't going away any time soon.
Are fears of the coronavirus being overblown? Media narrative managers are playing up the cases and insisting that we follow the orders of politicized health officials. Before hopping on the bandwagon, take a look at three charts that the fear-peddlers would rather you not see.
Ever notice how we never really talked about "fact-checkers" before our mass media started playing fast and loose with the truth? Who fact-checks the fact-checkers? Phil Magness and Ethan Yang from AIER.org have a remarkable report on media censorship.
There's a good chance that sharing Dr. Martin Kulldorff's recent Twitter thread on 12 Forgotten Principles of Public Health is going to bring out the fact-checkers in droves. That's a risk I'm willing to take in order to bring broader perspective to the discussion.

Have social media and our ever-present smart phones created a culture of egocentric people? Jeff Minnick points to egotism as the root of our troubles and makes a strong case that a bit of humility can keep us rooted in reality.
So many of the challenges we're facing right now are the result of things that have been politicized. We'd be wise to heed the advice of Isaac Morehouse and to stop looking for a king who will save us. Our time is better spent becoming truly great individuals in every part of our lives.
We shouldn't be surprised when government grows nonstop. After all, that growth is in its DNA. This is why our system of government was designed to limit and check government growth lest it metastasize like cancer. Sheldon Richman has some great advice on how to help other lovers of liberty recognize why government grows and why we need to keep it under control.
How can we tell that things are getting serious? Take 3 minutes and watch this short video from Senator Rand Paul in which he urges noncompliance with the latest authoritarian power-grab. When's the last time you heard anyone in public office speak out like this?
The worst part of the current pandemic hasn't been the actual harm caused by the coronavirus which is survived by 99.7% of those who catch it. The greater damage has been done by the recently empowered control freaks among us using their fear as an excuse to seize greater control over our lives. J.D. Tuccille explains why we shouldn't surrender to them.

Ammon Bundy joins me to talk about how we can better organize ourselves to claim, use and defend our God-given rights. Even his most unhinged critics have to concede that this is a guy who has skin in the game.
If you're one of the folks who is skeptical about complying with the demands of the ruling class, you've likely noticed how all the justifications for obeying them tend to minimize what's being demanded of us. Addison Reeves puts it in the plainest language possible why compliance is no longer an option.
