What does it mean to be a logical person? Daniel Lattier spells out the 10 habits of logical people and how they keep us rooted in truth and better equipped to avoid verbal trickery.
Pointing out that we live in a time of mass hysteria, isn't a putdown or slight directed toward those who are in fear. As Philipp Bagus explains it's simply a recognition that human beings are not that difficult to panic, especially when it's the state that's feeding their fears.
Here's a story that's likely to trigger folks all over the political spectrum. It's an essay from Alice Calder that explains how "buy American" is a seriously misguided economic policy supported by both Biden and Trump.

One of the best things Trump could do on his way out of office is pardon some of the individuals unjustly persecuted by the US government over the past few years. At the top of this list should be Edward Snowden. John Stossel has a worthwhile piece that examines whether Snowden is a hero or a traitor.
One of the saddest indicators of whiny, woke self-indulgence can be seen in the dogmatic insistence that everything that came before us was wrong/racist. As L.Q. Cinncinatus explains, even the film White Christmas is a triggering event rather than a holiday favorite.
How's your Christmas joy doing this year? It's understandable that celebrations seem a bit muted in 2020. Annie Holmquist reminds us that the joy of Christmas is still very much there. We may have to adjust our focus, ever so slightly, in order to see it.

Civil disobedience is a time-honored tradition for resisting tyranny. For those who practice it, it's often a matter of conscience. The Academy of Ideas has a marvelous video explaining how civil disobedience safeguards freedom and prevents tyranny.
There are a lot of important issues in need of solutions these days. That's why we'll all rest easier knowing that Gov. Andrew Cuomo of New York has solved the biggest problem of all by banning the sale of sale of Confederate flags in NY. Who knew that all we had to do was eliminate free speech to heal our society?
The desire to avoid risk at any cost is costing us dearly. Name almost any freedom that has been lost and nearly always the justification will be "something, something...for your safety." Matthew Crawford has an excellent essay on the danger of safetyism and how it's being used to choke the human spirit.

What does principled resistance to tyranny look like? I'm pretty sure it's not burning, looting, spreading lies and threatening everyone around you. As Jon Miltimore explains, it looks more like the courageous gym owners in New Jersey who have stayed open in the face of official decrees and actions intended to shut them down.
It seems to be taking an unusually long time for the public to catch on to how they are being played by those in power. Joakim Book has some timely words of encouragement for those awaiting rescue from the madness.

The electoral sideshow has been on a lot of people's minds this week. Did you realize that something historic happened with America's electors on Monday? Andrea Widburg shares the details of something our mass media isn't talking about.
Speaking of sore losers...(wink), professor Joseph Stiglitz is one of the sorest. No, he wasn't backing Trump in the election. As Richard M. Ebeling explains, Stiglitz is a misguided and sore loser because he opposes liberty.

If you think the frustration being expressed by millions of Americans over the recent election is simply a matter of their candidate not being elected, think again.

When a friend asked for my reaction to the Supreme Court's refusal to hear the lawsuit filed by Texas last week, I replied that, no matter the outcome, I won't be changing how I live my life. Caitlin Johnstone has my back on this approach with a reminder that we have no obligation to conform to a wildly sick society.
The anniversary of the repeal of Prohibition was just a few days ago. Jeffrey A. Tucker has a marvelous essay reminding us of how the "experts" of that day were very much on board with the necessity for prohibition. He also reminds us that they were very much wrong.

One of the greatest lines ever spoken is from the film Serenity when Captain Malcolm Reynolds declares: "I aim to misbehave." Larry L. Beane has a great take on what that means to people of faith in our time.
