If we're going to revel in wrongthink, we may as well do it right. Here's what's up for discussion today:
Food shortages may be the furthest thing from most people's minds but Michael Snyder has 5 compelling reasons to build up your food stores sooner than later. This is an issue worth pondering.
As long as we're thinking outside the box, might as well question the conventional wisdom that's driving the national push for vaccination. Pandra Salivanov has some solid scientific reasons for waiting to get the Covid vaccine.
The official narrative managers are really pushing the "deadly insurrection" talking point whenever they discuss the Jan 6 events at the US Capitol. The fact remains that the only life deliberately taken was that of Ashley Babbitt who was killed by an armed government agent. Why is the identity of her killer being treated like a state secret?
There was a time when heroes were people who did truly heroic things. Nowadays, the word is being twisted into unrecognizable shapes. Anders Koskinen has an enlightening essay on Jules Verne and the loss of American heroism. We need to rediscover authentic heroes again.

The writing is on the wall for anyone who is willing to look at it: We cannot outsource our thinking to "experts" and expect to remain free. Doug Casey has an interesting take on why we are doing less critical thinking than ever.

Retail theft is no longer being treated as a crime in the Bay Area. As a result, some businesses are rethinking staying in business there. Andrea Widburg explains that what's happening in San Francisco goes far beyond shoplifting.

Jacob Hornberger from the Future of Freedom Foundation recently posted a vacation photo from a Confederate battlefield monument. The Twitter mob took umbrage. Their outrage provides an excellent opportunity for some historical perspective.

Most graduation speeches are long on platitudes and short on wisdom. I love the speech that Donald J. Boudreaux would have given--had someone just invited him to speak. This is a speech with some highly applicable information.
Vaccination is a touchy subject for many but it's one that needs to be more broadly discussed and debated. Especially now that the White House is apparently pushing for a door to door campaign to reach out to the still unvaccinated.
Speaking the truth in an age of lies is considered a revolutionary act. Few people understand this more clearly than former Mumford & Sons band member Winston Marshall. Check out his reasons for leaving the band, not just to protect his former bandmates, but also to maintain his personal integrity. This is what legit courage looks like in our time.
Some people love to be treated as a child but I'm not one of them. Here's an excellent article on how leftists want to be your parents and how they're using the power of the state to reduce you to perpetual childhood.

The Orwellian renaming and erasing of history is taking root even in small town America. Brad Bennett joins me to discuss the current crusade to strip Utah's Dixie of its name and unique heritage.
What does it mean to be worthy of being an American? I'm not talking about confrontational patriotism but simply understanding and living up to what we've been given. Kurt Schlichter doesn't pull any punches when he lays out what many people have forgotten.

It's curious how everything that came before us is now being treated as racist, superstitious and wrong. Sheldon Richman has some needed historical perspective on the Enlightenment and why it's worth defending today.
Ever notice how many people are claiming a right to some portion of your time and energy? Kent McManigal offers timely clarification on how you're only responsible for yourself (babies & children excepted).
What does the opposite of personal responsibility look like? Probably a lot like how politicians currently behave. Jeff Minnick reminds us that "deny thyself" is not in the vocabulary of most politicians.

What's the biggest thing that separates authoritarians from supporters of freedom? Gary M. Galles draws upon another Leonard Read essay to provide a clear and compelling distinction.

Independence Day has come (and gone) once again and with it, the opportunity to reflect on what exactly we celebrate. Leonard E. Read's classic essay "The Essence of Americanism" is a great way to recount the remarkable shift that came about as a result of American independence. It's also a great antidote to the poisonous revamping of American history that is currently fashionable.
