Look out! Congress is stepping up to "help" the American people with a new ride-sharing safety bill. As Satya Marar points out, this new law would empower bureaucrats at the expense of businesses, drivers and rides alike.
If the warnings of growing tyranny and authoritarianism sound too much like Chicken Little, maybe it's time to listen to people who've lived under genuine totalitarianism. Despite all the left-wing hyperventilating about how Trump is about to impose a fascist police state, Rod Dreher explains that the most likely source of authoritarianism today is the political left.
Maybe it's just the election year but there sure seems to be a lot of revolutionary fervor in the streets these days. Bradley J. Birzer shares a fascinating take on the 10 conditions necessary for revolution.
Lovers of freedom owe a great debt to Sweden for showing the world that lockdowns are not the only way to deal with a pandemic. Christopher Snowdon explains how the Swedes have destroyed the case for resorting to extreme measures to address the virus.
Is Covid-19 panic becoming the new state religion? Thomas L. Knapp makes a pretty convincing argument that the dogma driving current policies is anything but scientific.

As much as we may not want to admit it, the purse-swinging at last night's presidential debate is a direct reflection of what our society is becoming. Being a good citizen involved a lot more than just voting. Gary Arnell breaks down some of the lessons learned from the first 2020 presidential debate.
If you're serious about using your influence for good in a time of social justice insanity, Jeff Minnick has some great advice on what we can do. He also makes the case for not trying to appease those who are working overtime to dismantle our culture.
Here's a quick list of 5 widespread ridiculous beliefs that no sane adult should ever embrace.
If the lockdowns have taught us anything, it's how important our inalienable human right to engage in commerce really is. Peter C. Earle spells out the reasons why this right matters and cannot be subject to bureaucratic approval.

We learned a lot about the current state of politics in America during the presidential (ahem) debate last night. None of it was complimentary.
The biggest "gotcha" moment was when the moderator asked the president to denounce white supremacists. Looks like the stage is being set for a racist vs. lockdown socialist decision come November.
By the way, did you realize that the president has an internet "kill-switch"? Brad Polumbo explains where that authority is derived and how a handful of U.S. lawmakers are working to roll back this emergency power.
Would it surprise you to learn that the people who urge us to "trust the science" are now claiming that science proves we're all racist? Okay, not all of us, just the ones who aren't a certain color.
For all the talk of systematic racism, there's one thing that's becoming horrifically clear: the only thing systematic is the ongoing destruction of America. Jim Quinn has a detailed synopsis of how it's all unfolding.

Eric Peters from EPautos.com joins me for our weekly WrongThink session. We'll be talking about California's "motor law" and how some folks are going to have the opportunity to experience their own Red Barchetta moment. Rush fans should enjoy this one.
Much of the media is making a fuss over how little the president paid in taxes in 2016 and 2017. Are we supposed to believe that the more taxes you pay, the better a person you are? How could a free people possibly think that way?
I found an essay by Jeff Snyder that he wrote back in 2004. It's called "Walter Mitty's Second Amendment" and it's a powerful illustration of how a mostly enslaved people can stubbornly maintain that they're still free.

A groundswell of pushback against the Covid-19 lockdown and mask policies is growing in Utah County. Rep. Marc Roberts is circulating a draft of a resolution to end the state of emergency and clip the governor's wings by restricting his ability to keep locking the state down.
For those who live in or near the Wasatch Front, please consider attending the rally organized by the Utah Business Revival this Friday at 6pm at the historic courthouse in Provo, Utah.
How did so many cities and even countries go from a spike in positive Covid-19 tests to a forever lockdown mentality? Brendan O'Neill shares a perspective from across the Atlantic and describes the chilling reality of how his government has realigned into open authoritarianism.
Election year notwithstanding, I believe the issue causing the most unnecessary conflict among us today is mandatory facemarks. Don't believe me? Go out in public without one. Or walk up to someone without one and remind them that they should be wearing one. No matter how diplomatic you are, chances are very high, in either case, that you'll see pushback. This issue is keeping us fighting amongst ourselves when we should be focusing our energy on the opportunistic officials who are pushing this nonsense.
Mike Wittman has compiled a great list of 10 reasons that he won't wear a face mask.
While the vast majority of America's rioters and revolutionaries are young people, that's no reason to write them all off as irredemable. Jay Schalin has written an interesting piece about four young men who may carry our nation through these tough times. It's certain to trigger some folks.

The only thing I love more than non-sugarcoated truth is truth delivered with a healthy side of snark. Robert E. Wright has a great essay on why it's wise not to be a party to political parties.
I'll never judge someone for wanting to drive an electric or hybrid vehicle. I do, however, reserve a certain amount of contempt for politicians who think they should regulate our choice of what to drive. (Gavin Newsom, I'm looking your direction) Anders Koskinen makes the case that if you want to save the environment, drive a gas-powered car.
You've likely noticed that civility is in pretty short supply these days. Annie Holmquist has a personal story that illustrates how we can be civil even when the people around us aren't.
What is motivating the current unhinged behavior of the politically possessed? Plain and simple, it's the realization that their lust for power may go unfulfilled. Thomas Luongo explains that this is likely the last stand for many American Marxists.

Visiting with Word & Numbers podcast cohost James R Harrigan is the cerebral equivalent of downing a triple shot of espresso. James joins me to discuss the current Supreme Court drama as well as other notable current events.
Want a better view of what's at stake in the upcoming election? Pat Buchanan says the chips are all on the table this time. His take from 30,000 feet is insightful and surprisingly non-partisan.

You've likely seen some of the recent footage of rioters across the nation breaking windows, looting, burning and beating and threatening innocent people. That's why you'll be glad to know that Moscow, Idaho police have arrested three people for failing to social distance while singing hymns in a church parking lot. We are all safer for their bravery.
It's curious that a certain webpage on the Black Lives Matter website has been removed. Curious because it was a page that boldly declared that among the goals of the organization was to "disrupt the nuclear family." Jon Miltimore explains how this has also been a longtime goal of Marxism.
Much of the unrest seen yesterday across the nation stems from the decision to only charge one of the officers responsible for the death of Breonna Taylor in a raid gone wrong in Louisville, Kentucky. Dan Mitchell reminds us that the war on (some) drugs is what set the whole mess in motion.
A lot of folks are on edge over who will be the next Supreme Court justice. How different would a Supreme Court with a 6-3 conservative bent be? Morgan Marietta gives us three ways it could change the way the court does business.
