When someone tells you to follow the science, too often this is another way of saying, "Shut up and do what I'm telling you." Each one of us has a responsibility to be our own fact-checker. As Joakim Book explains, that means that the only question that matters is: Is it correct?
If you've ever been labeled unfairly, you know the pain it brings is real. Paul Rosenberg makes a clear distinction between fixed traits and fate to remind us that losing doesn't make us permanent losers.
Trust for the political class is quickly disappearing. And for good reason. It's hard sometimes to remember when politicians weren't so craven in their power-seeking. If you haven't read George Washington's farewell address, you're missing a chance to hear some prophetic advice from a great man.
I know we're not supposed to take any pride in being an American today, at the same time, those who know and live the principles and practices of freedom can't help but feel blessed. Geoffrey M. Vaughan has a great essay on American citizenship and how we're caught between creed and clan.

Why does it feel as though the inability to leave others alone is spreading? J.D. Tuccille says America's divisions may have passed the tipping point.
If you've ever taken pleasure in seeing another person suffer because of their political beliefs, you're on a slippery slope. Never forget that authoritarianism is fueled by the viciousness of tribalism.

CJ Hopkins has been doing a lot of the investigative journalist heavy lifting in reporting on our forced transition to the new normal. His take on the year of the new normal fascist is worth your time. (NB: This commentary contains some bad language)
The Christmas truce of 1914 is one of the most inspiring stories of the past century. David Stockman recounts the story and takes a deep dive into exactly why there still is no peace on earth, 107 years later.
The efforts to suppress unauthorized opinion are getting more intense. Steve Kirsch relates how LinkedIn has sought to punish him, over 3 truthful comments, by erasing his existence there.

I've been a Drew Carey Fan for many years. After reading David Hathaway's article about a glorious fist bump that Carey recently shared with a winning contestant on The Price is Right, you'll understand why this game show host is a stand up guy.

Sometimes, it seems like we are being told that our current, overlapping crises cannot end until enough people embrace Marxism. Doug Casey does a marvelous job of explaining how Marxists have captured the universities and may soon capture the nation.
The folks in power are working themselves into another tizzy as the first anniversary of the January 6 uprising approaches. Patricia Henry says now is as good a time as any to take a closer look at how we're entering the American Twilight Zone.

Have you seen the hours-long lines of people waiting to get tested for the omicron variant? As Jeffrey A. Tucker explains, it's a perfect example of how government overreach is creating a health care crisis.
Politicians and bureaucrats tend to be given a stature that they rarely deserve. Dr. Fauci is a good example of this. John Stossel reminds us that officials who claim to be the embodiment of science should not be taken seriously. Sen. Rand Paul agrees: Fauci is not beyond reproach.
To understand how democracy devolves into tyranny, start by studying history. Jeff Thomas notes that, like a sandcastle, democracy is always temporary and that people will embrace the illusion of safety in return for their freedoms.
I get it. Not everyone wants to be a psychic. Still, it feels pretty good to be paying close enough attention to what's happening to be able to predict certain outcomes. Kent McManigal says predictions take paying attention and noticing what's going on around you.

The beauty of the Constitution isn't found in the government it called into existence. It's found in the restrictions and limitations it imposes on that government. Huck Davenport has a great essay on the single most important thing we can do to save the Constitution.
Isn't it curious how so many people perceive a political stance in an individual's stance either for or against the various Covid mandates? For instance, it's entirely possible to oppose mandates and not be a Trump fan. Donald J. Boudreaux explains the unhealthy relationship between Trump, Covid, and despotism.
As the people who wish to rule us continue to lose their grip on us, you're going to hear more calls for us to be disarmed. Case in point, the Atlantic just claimed that more people carrying guns tends to result in more shootings. Jon Miltimore points out how decades of data proves the wrong.
If you've ever found yourself wondering just exactly how we have lost so much freedom in such a short time, you're not alone. T.K. Coleman has a great explanation for how freedom is lost.

Learning to think for yourself requires a conscious decision. Propaganda is all around us and, as Caitlin Johnstone points out, maturity is realizing that it isn't just something that happens to other people. We have to propaganda-proof ourselves.
It seems as though every tyrannical mandate that have been imposed around the world is being implemented in the name of public health. Frank Furedi has an excellent article on the tyranny of public health and how it's being used to justify technocratic control over nearly every aspect of our lives.
The newly 'woke' U.S. military is in a unique and unenviable position these days. Andrew Bacevich asks the question: How awesome is 'awesome'? The answer is going to smart, for some folks, but we can't go on pretending that our military's number one job is keeping us free.

Trusted voices are few and far between these days but we need them now more than ever. Dr. Jay Bhattacharya has been a voice of reason so many times throughout the past two years. He reminds us that we cannot stop the spread of Covid but we can end the pandemic.
If there were any doubts that the lockdowns were politically motivated, we now have documentation. Thomas L. Knapp explains how Francis Collin's emails spotlight the bureaucracy's attempted subjugation of science and scientists.
Whether you recognize it or not, freedom is at stake in a way that it hasn't been for some time. It's not just a matter of voting the right people into office. It's about people who understand what their rights are and what constitutes proper government. Few people explain this better than Leonard E. Read.

Resisting the urge to give in to the official fear frenzy requires conscious effort. Dr. Mark Sircus advises that we focus on spreading love, not fear, during the holiday season.
Heaven help the person who sneezes or coughs in public these days. Some folks will look at you like you're actively trying to murder the people around you. Chris Bateman poses the question: Is our duty to avoid harm unlimited? That's something that we need to answer before using force to mandate that others do something.
It's been nearly 3 decades since Bill Clinton opined that, "You can't say you love your country and hate your government." During that time, the blinders have come off for many of who have learned for ourselves that, as J.B. Shurk says, America is much more than its government.

Eric Peters from Eric Peters Autos stops by for a cup of holiday cheer and some lively conversation. No matter how hard the bureaucratic grinches try to stir up panic, we're going to find reasons to celebrate instead.
It's entirely possible that I'm missing something here but the fearful tone that politicians and the media are taking over the omicron variant of Covid seems disproportionate to the harm it is doing. Ron Paul says this wave of fear represents the lockdowners' last stand and their desperation to hang on to power.
Not be be a damper on the festive spirit of the season but you probably know someone whose suffering is acute at this time of year. Maybe you're the one who's suffering. Annie Holmquist has an empowering essay on surviving suffering like a champ.
