The most pressing power struggle of our day isn't the upcoming presidential election. It's the battle between the lockdown ideologues and the rest of us. Phillip W. Magness shines a light on just how desperate the lockdowners have become.
Things have been getting Orwellian for quite some time. But we've just passed another milepost of sorts. Changing the meaning of words--on the fly--to support the official narrative we're required to believe. Annie Holmquist has a great example of the latest example of newspeak.

So much focus is on national politics right now. Don't forget to stay engaged at the local level. Otherwise local officials might be tempted to go after 9 year old girls for building a tree house.
2020 has been a mixed blessing in some ways. Case in point, politicians have been too busy flexing over a virus to push for what they call "common sense" gun control.

One of the biggest indications that very little will change as a result of the upcoming election can be seen in what isn't being discussed or debated by the candidates. The national debt being a prime example. As Brad Polumbo explains, neither presidential candidate is going to slow the out of control spending.
