Is it possible to have certainty in uncertain times? Paul Rosenberg says, of course, but it has to be self-generated certainty. He has some solid advice on how to make that happen.
The little boys and girls who cried "racism" a few too many times have made it pretty tough to take Joe Biden seriously when he promises to end racial disparity. Hannah Cox has a list of 4 policies that Biden will have to rethink if he intends to deliver on that campaign promise.
The clamor over people peacefully protesting outside the governor's and lt. governor's homes is growing. Of course, it's always safer and easier to call people names from behind your keyboard than it is to make a stand against the immoral, illegal and ineffective lockdowns.

As I was out and about over the weekend, one thing was perfectly clear: Very few people are following the official admonitions to stay home and hide from Covid. I suspect that Thanksgiving will go on as normal for most of us, despite Dr. Fauci's demand that we "do as we're told."
It's not a matter of simply being contrarian, it's an acknowledgement that we have to maintain perspective on this illness. Donald J. Boudreaux has an excellent letter to a reader explaining the difference.
It's not uncommon to hear mental health terms used to describe those who hold opposing points of view. "Trump derangement syndrome" and "Covid derangement syndrome" are two of the more common ones. Jeff Deist recently gave a brilliant speech about our current national psychosis and it's worth your time to check it out. We cannot surrender to the current demoralization campaign.
Faith in the media is collapsing and it's really scaring the folks who are paid to uphold the official narrative. Boyd Cathey has a fascinating take on how Fox News is being spoken of with the same derision as CNN and what it means for the future of America. This is why alternative platforms and sources of information are beginning to come to the forefront.
Ultimately, the key to maintaining our mental and spiritual freedom will be the product of becoming propaganda-proof. Annie Holmquist explains how that can happen, one family at a time.
As part of our continuing quest to become more independent thinkers, I'm sharing Paul Rosenberg's latest column on logical fallacies. This time around, Paul teaches how to recognize and counter the "appeal to authority" fallacy.

Writer Alex R. Knight III joins us to talk about his journey from vagueness to voluntaryism. If you're not familiar with this term, you'll appreciate Alex's experience and his take on how to perpetuate freedom in its most authentic form.
None of us knows for sure the outcome of this year's presidential race. Either way, if Donald J. Trump is serious about defying the deep state, he should pardon Julian Assange and Edward Snowden. Jacob Hornberger makes the case for why this should happen.
How can you make a difficult situation even more unpleasant? Just add taxes. Christian Britschgi warns about a new proposal to tax those who work from home for the "privilege" of using their home as an office.
You've heard Sweden held up as an example of how to respond to Covid without authoritarian lockdowns. But did you realize that Finland and Norway had similar experiences to Sweden's, and they did it without locking everything down? Jon Miltimore has a great article on how the less restrictive approaches appear to be working beautifully.

My home state of Utah had 3900 new cases of coronavirus yesterday. Not surprising given that testing has massively increased. But is the official hysteria over Covid justified? I'm seriously wondering if someone isn't trying to break us psychologically.
Dr. Joseph Mercola poses the question: How would you prefer to spend your last holiday season? It's the kind of question that requires taking a couple of steps back in order to see the bigger picture.
One of the big concerns that is dogging those following the 2020 election passion play is whether a change in leaders portends stricter gun control. Thomas L. Knapp has a reassuring take on this subject. He explains why he's not worried about the Biden/Harris "gun control" talk.
The ability to sort fact from narrative is becoming an essential survival skill these days. Robert E. Wright has an excellent essay on who to believe and what to believe regarding all the various items of intrigue.

As tempting as it may be to look at government stimulus spending as a well-intentioned necessity, there are always prices to be paid when doling out trillions of borrowed dollars. Brad Polumbo documents some of the rampant fraud in the runaway Congressional spending bills.
Possibly the most disturbing aspect of last week's election is the clear glee with which certain politicians are anticipating the great day of their (perceived) power. Not so fast, says Anders Koskinen as he reminds us that this was an election without a mandate.
If there's one thing that political power requires to maintain its momentum, it's the perception of legitimacy. James Bovard has a great essay about how our current muppet show is working overtime to convince us that it's legit.
To understand the importance and timeliness of Jordan B. Peterson's message, you need look no further than the intense hatred shown by his critics. Jon Miltimore has a great take on Peterson's message of taking control of your life.

You don't have to be a diehard Trump supporter to have a healthy skepticism of the mass media and the official election narrative. Jay Valentine is one of the most compelling voices of dissent on this matter. His most recent column makes the case that Trump is still going to win this thing--bigly.
On a related note, former assistant Secretary of the Treasury Paul Craig Roberts says the media knows there was voter fraud and asks: Why do they deny the obvious?
There was a time when I looked at defenders of the Constitution with a mixture of suspicion and pity. That was before I understood the genius of this remarkable document and how it limits the power of government over each of us. Judge Andrew Napolitano asks whether we still have a Constitution and explains how our ignorance is placing us under the power of evil men and women.
We haven't seen much good news coming out of Oregon for a long time. This past election has provided an unexpected exception. Hannah Cox explains how Oregon has taken the lead in ending the war on (some) drugs and why that's a good thing.

We've all heard the phrase, "There's two types of people..." Here's a thoughtful essay from Chris Rossini that takes it in a really profound direction. Are you the kind of person who wants to be left alone or the the kind who cannot leave others alone? It's a question more of us should be asking ourselves.
The Biden-Harris "plan to beat Covid" is providing needed insight into the sociopathic thinking that drives centrally planned solutions. As Dan Sanchez points out, human beings are not and cannot be treated like so many cogs in a machine.
Resisting the current calls to unity isn't the mark of an antisocial person. As Gary Galles explains, it's the mark of someone who recognizes how hypocritical and delusional such talk is when applied to our current political situation.
What is the most important thing in life right now? If your answer involves resolving the ongoing election controversy, you might want to rethink your priorities. Anders Koskinen has a timely call to resist the impulse to evil in troubled times.

Trump's fiercest supporters are loathe to consider the possibility that he'll be leaving office in January. Thomas L. Knapp has some very principled suggestions of what the president could do with his remaining time to burnish his legacy by hobbling leviathan.
Keeping government limited to its proper role is a challenge everywhere. Jason S. Reed explains how as an obese person, he is not a problem for government to solve. Likewise, coronavirus is not a government issue, it's a personal medical issue.
When it comes to how the coronavirus should be handled, Benjamin Powell spells out the obvious: For better health and a stronger economy, authorities need to resist the urge to flex their power by locking us down.
If there's a silver lining to the current election chaos we're experiencing, it's that the faith of government cultists is being shaken to its core. Alex R. Knight III has an excellent essay on how it's getting harder to trust government and why that's a good thing. (Alex will be my guest on Friday's show)
The prospect of heavy-handed governance is growing by the day. Annie Holmquist has a perfect example of what homestyle civil disobedience might look like.

Gary Welch joins me to talk about specific actions we should all be taking to protect our remaining liberties from the Covid-19 power grab currently underway in my home state of Utah. It's not enough to sit home and fume about government overreach. We'll talk about ways that we can make our voices heard and register the withdrawal of our consent from those who are demanding we obey them.

Eric Peters from EP Autos joins me to talk about the intensifying storm around us. Between the mask mandates and the election irregularities, we have a lot of manufactured uncertainty to deal with.
If there was ever a time to be honing your mental toughness, this is it. What does it take to burn the fat off your soul and become truly resilient? Here's an essay that describes the necessity of hanging in no matter what it takes.
If you've ever doubted the idea that your vote still counts, the events of the past week aren't helping. Jeff Minnick offers 7 simple proposals to fix our broken elections. Notice how none of them are the products of wild conspiracy or the outright denial of reality.
Matt Walsh has a spot-on response to the current calls for "unity" now that Joe Biden thinks he's won the presidency. It's not that we desire to be uncivil, it's just hard to trust that the same folks who've been loudly threatening and engaging in violence for the past 4 years have suddenly had a change of heart.
