The lockdowns are beginning to end around the country, yet there's still a strong push for a so-called health passport. As Jenin Younes points out, you have a right to refuse such a passport. But you'd better prepare yourself for some pushback.
Some of the greatest damage--economically and psychologically--done over this past year has been related to the fallout over authorities deeming some workers non-essential. As John Stossel explains, every worker is an essential worker.
I've been beating the drum of personal preparedness for a long time now. What exactly are we supposed to be preparing for? Life, of course. Kent McManigal has a well-reasoned plea to start getting prepared for emergencies before the next crisis hits.
Kids like me who struggled with math would love to have had an excuse not to have to wrestle with learning it. What a shame my teachers didn't realize that objective math is a form of white supremacy. Kerry McDonald has a great article on the latest madness making its way through the ranks of our current educators.

The good news is that lockdowns are beginning to end in some states. The bad news is that the authoritarians who have thrived during this past year are angry and desperate to hold onto their power over the populace. Anders Koskinen explains how a complicit MSM is doing its best to sow seeds of fear and doubt about the reopenings.
These aren't exactly the golden days of free speech in America. Why do people in power try to silence those with whom they disagree? Judge Andrew Napolitano has some answers.
The amount of money being spent by American politicians is staggering. If you find yourself wondering where all that money is going, Words & Numbers hosts Antony Davies and James R. Harrigan document how government is taking care of itself first rather than the citizenry that they claim to be "helping."
Do you find yourself struggling to have conversations with people who see things differently than you do? You're not alone. Kent McManigal has a helpful essay on the wisdom of knowing when to keep quiet.

Ammon Bundy is speaking throughout the state of Utah on the need to get to know your neighbors well enough that you can stand up for each other. He joins us to talk about why he's helping people organize wherever they happen to be.
The best thing that's happened recently is the growing return to sanity on the part of (some) public officials in regards to COVID. As the scales begin to fall from the public's eyes, Jeffrey A. Tucker says, lockdowns could end up reshaping American politics for a generation or more.
It's good that the citizenry is catching on the reality that too many officials overreacted to the coronavirus. As Mike Maharrey explains, it's a good time to ask ourselves, why do we trust these people to run our lives?
Few things will bring the muddy boot of government down on your neck like the desire to simply be left alone. The story of what happened to a Polk County, Georgia family is as infuriating as it is illustrative of what unchecked government will do--at any level.

If you've found yourself wondering how politics can make people so divisive and angry, Kent McManigal has some answers. In a nutshell, politics destroys civility by calling for government violence against anyone who doesn't see things the way we do.
Those who are pushing the "woke" agenda don't seem all that concerned that you and I may not be buying what they're selling. As Annie Holmquist explains, that's because they're focusing their efforts on creating a brave new world of woke children.
You're likely hearing more about critical race theory these days than you'd prefer. Far from correcting actual wrongs, CRT is being used to divide and conquer our society. As Stella Morabito explains, this is a classic Marxist tactic at play.
Texas just announced that it was lifting its COVID restrictions and mask mandates. This is bringing swift condemnation and accusations of "recklessness" from lockdowners. Donald J. Boudreaux shares the story of Vicky to illustrate what happens when we lose all perspective in a quest to avoid something that we fear.

Political consultant Gary Welch joins me to explore the following topics:
- Is Donald Trump the savior of conservatism?
- Did CPAC accomplish anything substantial?
- We just passed 500K in deaths. US is the worst in the world in per-capita deaths. What did we do wrong? Did we do anything right? Would certain alternatives (i.e. do nothing) would have turned out better?
- Why do we spend trillions more every year and nobody cares?

Eric Peters from Eric Peters Autos drops by to catch up on the latest developments in clown world. We talk about adulterated gasoline, the latest COVID drama and how the principled difference can make all the difference.
It's common for the political class to insist that every program, policy or law they create is for the purpose of "helping" us. As Brian Balfour notes, they are definitely helping to keep poor people poor.
During times such as these, being a wrongthinker is a necessity for anyone who is serious about maintaining his or her autonomy. Jeff Minnick has some helpful advice on thinking free while living with the establishment.

You don't have to be a pessimist to recognize that liberty is in eclipse right now. Having said that, Joakim Book has a terrific essay that illustrates how we are far from finished and how the 21st Century could be a century of liberty. And unlike politics, this is a place where we have more control than we think.
Paul Rosenberg's essay series on fallacies is a very worthwhile tool in learning how to spot rhetorical sleight of hand when it's being used against you. His latest essay is on Fallacies of Elimination and it's super timely for some of the issues we're currently facing.
Those who actively recognize the ongoing loss of individual freedoms in so many areas of our lives may wonder exactly how we got here. As Ethan Yang explains, the danger of the administrative state has been greatly underestimated. We see it in the damage done by the lockdowns and the unchecked growth of government.

One of the biggest risks our kids face in state-run schools is indoctrination into so-called "woke" culture. Kerry McDonald explains how today's woke classrooms show why parents should be free to choose on schools.
How bad is the public school indoctrination into critical race theory becoming? Even Bill Maher and his audience agreed it's out of control when Megyn Kelly was his guest recently. Maybe that's a hopeful sign that there are still pockets of sanity remaining.
Though we have many ongoing challenges as a society, it's also safe to say that some of them are monsters of our own creation. Annie Holmquist makes a solid case that the problem isn't systemic racism, it's systemic victimhood.
Efforts to purge spirituality from our culture are giving rise to a notion that human beings are little more than highly evolved animals. Anders Koskinen says, not so fast. Humans are better than animals and are called to do higher and better things.

There are lots of crazy, unpredictable things happening on a daily basis. But the stuff that's most deeply concerning is rooted in the public's gullibility towards the politicians and bureaucrats who are removing our most basic rights. Joakim Book has a spot on essay describing why this matters and what we can do about it.
If the January 6 clash at the Capitol were a gallon of milk, it's probably safe to say that its sell-by date passed some time ago. Thomas L. Knapp wonders why the political class is urging us to take a big slug of it, straight from the jug.
Whatever policy is coming out of Washington D.C. these days, it's a pretty safe bet that its official name depicts the exact opposite of what it will actually do. Take, for instance, the current push for Congress to pass the so-called Equality Act. As Christopher Bedford explains, this act would create coercive new obligations that could gut religious freedoms.
The new administration has wasted no time getting its hands bloody by ordering air strikes in Syria. And right on cue, Twitter is now banning users who question the imperial actions of the U.S. national security apparatus by claiming they "undermine faith in NATO." Nebosja Malic notes that certain kinds of politics have become a sort of religion.

Over time, I've been impressed by Brandon Smith's take on current events. This is a particularly powerful essay given the rising tide of totalitarianism. He clearly outlines how societies are imprisoned and how the whole world will one day be like Hollywood.
As a proud member of the gig economy, I have the utmost respect for those who choose this entrepreneurial path. Brad Polumbo has a great article on Dolly Parton's recent commercial and how it has drawn the ire of those who oppose the gig economy.
One of the greatest dangers of what we've seen happen at every level of government over the past year is that the Covidocracy might become permanent. Michael Fumento spells out the risk and also advises what we can do to beat that system.
