Eric Peters from EPAutos.com joins us for his weekly check-in. We talk about why the unmasked are the heretics of our time as well as how to find freedom in a world of "clovers."
We hear a lot of talk about social justice these days. But how exactly does it square with the concept of authentic justice? Jon Miltimore has a great essay on how so-called social justice requires treating people unequally.
I don't know if you've noticed, but our society has a small problem with instability. There's a fix for that but it's not what some folks want to hear. Tamara El-Rahi explains the best kept secret of the middle class: marriage over cohabitation.
The sense that we are living in a time of inverted reality is getting stronger by the day. CNN shows burning buildings as its headlines describe "Mostly Peaceful Protests", and NPR airs an interview with an author who defends looting as non-violent and "mostly good." Brad Polumbo gives the latter subject the thorough debunking it deserves.

To say we've been living under fear for the last few months is an understatement akin to noting that the Arctic can be a bit chilly. What is the effect of long-term fear? Paul Rosenberg spells out what the wages of perpetual fear are and how we can find a way out.
All those public health "experts" whose pronouncements must never be questioned are looking a lot less credible than they did just a few weeks ago. Wesley J. Smith explains how their curious double standards are contributing to their dwindling credibility.
The curious thing about much of the political strife in America today is that both the left and the right see each other as hopelessly authoritarian. Guess what? They're both right. David D'Amato warns that a free and open society requires a citizenry that than think in something other than bumper-sticker slogans.
Most of us can relate to the idea of having been "red-pilled." It refers to the moment that we realize that we've been misled about much of what we believe regarding how the world works. James Walpole has some solid advice about how understanding history is one of the most readily available red pills available to us.

Is it just me or is the Covid-19 narrative beginning to fall apart like a soup sandwich? It's quickly becoming clear that deaths from this virus have been grossly overstated by the CDC. How much so? You better have a seat before you hear the actual numbers.
The pandemic has been tough on everyone, especially kids. Emma Freire has some timely tips for helping weary kids get through the ordeal without becoming little basket cases.
If nothing else, the past few months should have sharpened our appreciation for our liberty. Jeff Minnick has a great essay on how the upheaval has given us a chance to start appreciating things that most of us have been taking for granted in a big way.
Are we becoming a faceless nation? George Gilder has an interesting take on the face mask issue and what it says about the choice we're facing as a nation this coming election.

Getting the sense that things are spiraling out of control? You're not alone. Will the violence andunrest continue to escalate? Or is there a way out of the riots and growing political violence? Annie Holmquist has a few timely suggestions.
It's probably not a good sign that one presidential candidate is campaigning on a pandemic-fear/more-lockdowns platform. On the bright side, Jeffrey A. Tucker reports that there are signs that the lockdown mania may be easing.
Much of the media and the political class are in full spin cycle regarding the recent Kyle Rittenhouse shootings in Kenosha, WI. The official narrative they're peddling is that a trigger-happy fascist-in-training showed up at a "mostly peaceful" protest and starting gunning down future Nobel Prize nominees. Find some time to sit down and evaluate the evidence for yourself. This is the most comprehensive tactical and legal analysis of the incident that I've seen. I trust you to make your own informed conclusions after examining it.
It doesn't matter how good a person you think you are. It doesn't matter how quietly you go about your business or how careful you are not to attract unwanted attention. You've been invited to a social justice struggle session and the folks throwing the party won't take "no" for an answer. Jarrett Stepman spells out the bold new SJW tactic, taken directly from Chairman Mao's playbook.

I'm not a big fan of "isms." They seem to multiply with every passing year. Having said that, Lawrence W. Reed has correctly identified a new one that is wreaking havoc in our society. He explains how "presentism" is imperiling our future by distorting our past.
The media is working itself into a lather over 17 year old Kyle Rittenhouse who successfully defended himself against multiple armed attackers in Kenosha, WI a couple of days ago. Watch this story closely. Maybe even consider donating a few dollars to his legal defense fund, if you're able. This may be a landmark case.
With our growing state of crisis, the US has more in common with 1930s Weimar Germany than most of us realize. Stephen Brehe asks the question that is haunting more than a few people's thoughts: Could we slide into the abyss like Germany in 1933?
Our society rightly lauds great teachers. How adept are we at recognizing and calling out the bad ones? Annie Holmquist has a chilling warning about how to recognize a bad teacher and the battle for your child's mind that may be taking place just out of sight.

Ever-rational WrongThinker Eric Peters joins us to talk about what we are being asked/ordered to give up so that we may feel "safe." Eric is one of the most adamant and principled voices on this matter and it's always worth hearing his take.
Anytime a politician expresses concern about "protecting workers", it's time to be very wary. Unintended consequences are almost certainly around the corner. Raymond C. Niles has a great take on ride sharing and the absurdity of 'protecting workers' out of a job.
Lawrence W. Reed always has a thoughtful take on current events. His latest commentary at FEE.org is no exception. Larry explains how institutions of higher learning are making Marx proud with their campus lunacy. And much of it's being paid for with our tax dollars.
For those who are attuned to such things, there's an undeniable sense of spiritual darkness across much of our land today. Jeff Minnick has some thoughts on how to counter the darkness brought by coronavirus and how to lift those around us who are struggling.
