At the beseeching of congressional Democrats and the fanatical urgings of Nancy Pelosi, who called the extension of the federal eviction moratorium a “moral imperative,” the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has issued a new nationwide ban on evictions for counties with heightened levels of coronavirus community transmission. This latest CDC order comes in spite of President Biden’s candid admission that “the bulk of the constitutional scholarship says it’s not likely to pass constitutional muster.” In The Ethics of Liberty, Murray Rothbard attests that the “right to...

Florida Governor’s Attack on ‘Big Tech’ Violates U.S. Constitution
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis intends to violate both U.S. and Florida Constitutions with his regulation of Facebook, Google and Twitter. If Governor Ron DeSantis signs this legislation into law he will be violating the U.S. Constitution’s Contract Clause as written in Article 1, Section 10, Clause 1 and the Florida Constitution’s Declaration of Free Speech in the Declaration of Rights, Article 1, Section 4. See the wording below for both Constitutions: United States Constitution, Article 1, Section 10, Clause 1: No State shall enter into any Treaty, Alliance, or Confederation; grant...
The Libertarian Party Will Never Have Political Power
Just give it up already. Those who are holding onto the dream that the LP will be able to wield any significant political, or cultural power have not thought this through. An ideology of non-aggression and voluntary interactions has no place in the political sphere unless they are willing to become like the other two parties. Their message is that we are not like them. It is one of incompatibility when it comes to Machiavellian power structures. The purpose of politics is to seize power and centralize it to your party. The Left knows how to do this even when they aren’t in power and the...
When Will Americans Realize They Aren’t ‘One Nation’?
It’s one thing for mass democracy to produce bad results, in the form of elected politicians or enacted policies. It’s another when the democratic process itself breaks down because nobody trusts the vote or the people who count it. But that’s precisely where we are. As things stand at this writing, last night’s presidential election remains undecided and looking ugly. At least six states are still uncalled, and both the Trump and Biden camps have their legal teams claiming victory. We may be in for days, weeks, or even months of legal skirmishes, all of which can only add to our intense...
What the Afghanistan Papers Really Reveal
The recent revelations in the “Afghanistan Papers” is nothing unknown for those who cared to take notice. It is a revelation in the sense that it took the mainstream media so long to report on the real war in Afghanistan. It was a revelation homogenised and packaged with legitimacy and “credible” journalism that could now be consumed by the mob, the apathetic masses who rarely delve into the depth of consequences spread in their name and often with their support. It turns out that lies, lies and more lies were spread from the outset and despite these many lies, those who should have known...
Avoiding the Abject Misery of Internet Political Dialogue
The use of the internet by more and more people to participate in the political culture of this country and worldwide has made more extreme and radicalized nearly everyone who engages in it. People with whom you’d seldom have an interaction with in your every day, walking around life are suddenly in your social media stream, which is, for better or worse, the new physical “body”. Reactions to invasion of social media space with unwanted political dialogue provoke the same kinds of reactions as a physical assault in people, complete with physical reactions on the part of both participants....
The Antiwar Comic: Only Certain News is Fit to Print
So, I was pretty shocked about the WikiLeaks revelations. I mean, I always suspected the media was compromised, but I never really understood the full extent until I saw the headlines of the little meetings they were having. For more comics visit The Webcomic...
