Sharon Wright Weeks joins me to discuss death penalty reform in Utah. It's a topic she knows all too well as a result of the murder of her sister and niece and the death sentence their killer received. Whatever your views on the death penalty, Sharon has some very eye-opening information about how the current process tends to punish the victims' families as much as it does the killer.
If you watched even a modest amount of the Rittenhouse trial in Kenosha, WI, you've seen some pretty hardcore efforts to portray anything that's not under the control of the state as being out of control. Kent McManigal has a blunt reminder for anyone who's paying attention: self defense isn't a crime.
Anyone who has started to get serious about personal preparedness is likely to experience some real anxiety over the costs involved. But a person can become better prepared, even on a budget. Aden Tate has a fun exercise to build your bug-out bag with a $20 bill and a trip to Harbor Freight. You'll feel pretty encouraged when you see what you can do with even modest means.

If you have ever felt like less because you don't have lots of money, you're not alone. Take a deep breath and consider how you define wealth. Collette from the Frugalite has a thoughtful essay about the many ways a person's wealth can be measured. You might just discover that you're richer than you thought.
Despite what politicians may tell you at election time, you have few friends in Washington D.C. Doug Bandow frames the situation plainly and accurately, whose life is it anyway? Politicians should stop claiming our futures as their own.
If, by chance, you are one of the brave few who have resisted the vax mandates, it's likely you're finding yourself having regular conversations with the people around you who don't understand why. Lisa Boothe has written out a principled and direct explanation of why she's not vaccinated. It may not change anyone's mind but it's a very reasonable explanation.

Open wide, Eric Peters from Eric Peters Autos is dropping by to administer our weekly reality supplement.
Out of all of the things that are dividing us, there's only one difference that really matters: Do you support coercion over persuasion? Brandon Smith does a fantastic job of explaining how leftists support tyranny, and conservatives do not. This appears to be true at all levels of the political pyramid.
It's not exactly a secret that much of the legacy media leans hard to the left. It's also no secret that the left hates Kyle Rittenhouse with the white hot intensity of a thousand suns. Scott Hounsell spells out the real reason that the left hates this young man so much. It's because he showed the world exactly why a person might need an AR-15.

It's no secret that cattle ranchers and farmers have been under attack by animal rights and environmental groups for a long time. Now as food prices are climbing ever higher, Mindy Patterson asks if animal rights extremists are transforming agriculture in America's heartland.
The sweeping vax mandates that the Biden administration is attempting to impose on the workforce represent a massive departure from the legitimate role of government--which is to protect our natural rights. The Brownstone Institute has compiled some key excerpts from the 5th Circuit federal appeals court's recent judgment that highlight just a few of the reasons these mandates are unwise and unnecessary.
As uncomfortable as it may be, the parallels between Weimar Germany and modern America are pretty striking. It's not simply a matter of authoritarian attitudes. As D.G. Hewitt explains, the parallels are most clear in how each society has made a conscious decision to abandon their moral foundations. Brace yourself and take a look at 17 reasons why Germany's Weimar Republic was a party-lover's paradise.

A lot of eyes are on the Kyle Rittenhouse case as a verdict may be coming soon. There are many lessons to be learned from this case but one of the biggest is that the media has thrown its credibility away even as the prosecution's case has collapsed.
Annie Holmquist has a refreshing and insightful take on the Rittenhouse matter. Check out her essay on Kyle Rittenhouse and the individual's choice to take the witness stand. It's a powerful example of how standing up and speaking the truth--even at great personal risk--should inspire each of us.
The riots and destruction caused by violent communists across America last year were hardly the "fiery but mostly peaceful protests" that our legacy media claimed they were. Peter D'Abrosca begs us to stand up for our communities and not to cede the streets to militant Marxists.

By now it should be clear that governments use global crises in order to take more control over our lives. Doug Casey says, sometimes the crisis may be real but the current crop of opportunists and power-seekers may have finally overplayed their hand.
Not to sound dramatic but the phrase "winter is coming" has a whole different feel given some of the things beginning to take shape around us. CJ Hopkins warns that the folks determined to impose the new normal on us are trying to whip us into a state of mass hysteria over a virus. We don't have to fight them head on, we just have to refuse to abandon our principles until the Spring arrives.
Have you been convinced that everything that came before us was wrong? Anthony J. DeBlasi reminds us that the mindless attempt to remake America is nothing more than run-of-the-mill Marxism seeking to dethrone thousands of years of Divine wisdom.
Laws for thee but not for me? Many of us breathed a sigh of relief when a federal court last week put the brakes on the Biden administration's vax mandates for employers. Now the White House is telling businesses to ignore that court order. Jon Miltimore spells out why such action is incompatible with properly limited government.

With our divisions so deep that we clearly have two nations living within the same borders, perhaps the time has come for a conscious decoupling. Max Borders makes a strong case that it's time for America to break up, albeit peacefully.
The fanatical intensity with which the "woke" proselytize the rest of us can accurately described as a kind of religious fervor. Michael Shellenberger has a fascinating article--complete with visual aids--that beautifully illustrates why wokeness is a religion. Maybe it's time to revisit the separation of church and state on this matter.

For those who haven't already noticed the growing supply chain breakdowns, just give it a few more weeks. Kent McManigal rightly reminds us that the supply chain problem is a government problem.
Maybe it's just a sense of weariness at the nonstop wokeness that typifies most higher education campuses but I seriously wonder why any ration person would aspire to going to college. James Bovard is a two time drop-out with a decisive answer to the question: Is college worthwhile? Perhaps it's time to call out higher education for its bad behavior.
A lot of Americans are waking up to the reality that the more they have in common with George Washington and Benjamin Franklin, the more they are fair game to be demonized. Steve Sailer has an excellent analysis of why core Americans are being painted as the source of all evil who must be made to pay.

I happened to catch a bit of the Kyle Rittenhouse trial yesterday and accidentally witnessed one of the most stunning courtroom exchanges I've ever seen. Tucker Carlson hits the highlights in this video and it was definitely one for the history books. The vindictiveness of the prosecution is nothing short of disgraceful. It makes this trial look like anything but a quest for justice.
The Rittenhouse trial is a marvelous teaching opportunity about a couple of important topics. One is the natural right of self defense. The other is need for people to take personal responsibility in protecting their communities rather than simply outsourcing this to the state. Christopher Roach has an excellent piece on the need for citizenship and courage.
If you're serious about understanding how the world works, economists are your friend. For example, if Raymond J. March hadn't written about how the FDA is coming after "Smart Socks" which monitor a baby's pulse and oxygen levels while it sleeps, how would we have known about its latest crusade?

The recent COP26 climate meeting in Scotland was quite the gathering of world leaders who seem very concerned about our carbon footprints. Not concerned enough to ride bikes there or to take a sailboat but, yeah, real concerned. Connor Tomlinson asks, will this meeting simply bring us more eco-authoritarianism? Pat Buchanan also has a great recap of the climate crusade and what it may mean for the rest of us.
The desire to stand against tyranny and for freedom isn't just a political itch that needs scratching. Many of us feel a distinct call to resist the tyrannical spell that has been cast over the world. One of the most impressive invitations to answer that call comes from Margaret Anna Alice in her Letter to a Colluder: Stop Enabling Tyranny. There's a lot of great information in this essay.
Anybody remember Jack Phillips, the Colorado baker who was told to "bake the cake" for a same sex wedding party? Lawrence M. Vance reminds us that Jack's battle over control of his private property (his business) is still going on and seems to have been forgotten in the wake of forced vaccinations, masking, etc.
