Liberty Lighthouse

Resident Biden wants Congress to legalize abortion. I'm Peter Serefine with today's Liberty Minute. Yesterday Biden said he doesn't have the authority to reinstate Roe v. Wade but urged Congress to pass a law making abortion legal at the federal level again. The Whitehouse staff is still investigating using a public health emergency to reinstate abortion access. Biden also called on pro-abortion p...

I'm Peter Serefine with today's Liberty Minute. I end the Liberty Minute everyday with the Latin phrase, Si vis Pacem, Para Bellum.  It seems that every week I get an email asking what that means, so let me explain. Si vis Pacem, Para Bellum means if you want peace, prepare for war.  Sound advice used by Regan but rephrased as Peace through strength and by Teddy Roosevelt as walk softly...

The US war on drugs is clearly a failure. I'm Peter Serefine with today's Liberty Minute. The US "war on drugs" was declared by Nixon in 1971.  In 1971 the US had 3.3 deaths per 100,000 people.  Last year over 100,000 people overdosed in the United States, or 28 per 100,000.  This year is expected to be worse. Drug overdose is now the leading cause of death for Americans between 18...

The US has the deadliest border in the world. I'm Peter Serefine with today's Liberty Minute. A record 728 illegal aliens died along the US-Mexico border last year, well 728 that we know of.  That makes the US southern border the deadliest border in the world.  Think about that for a moment. More people died along our southern border than along the North Korean border, where crossing ill...

This year's Independence Day speech is followed by a collaborative reading of the Declaration of Independence.

We live in a banana Republic I'm Peter Serefine with today's Liberty Minute. Kenneth Harrelson is a disabled American Veteran who has been in a DC jail for 476 days without a trial. The Speedy Trial Act of 1974 states that an indictment must happen within 30 days, and a trial must commence within 70 days of the indictment. I say again, Kenneth Harrelson is a disabled American Veteran who has been...

Your bed is killing you! I'm Peter Serefine with today's Liberty Minute. Did you know more people die in bed than anywhere else? More people die in bed than from car accidents, covid, or mass shootings, but still, we have entire rooms in our homes just for beds. Beds have been killing people for centuries. Mattresses are freely bought and sold every day and without background checks, limits, or wa...

Mayonnaise causes shooting death in Georgia. I'm Peter Serefine with today's Liberty Minute. A man shot two employees at Subway after complaining that there was too much Mayonnaise on his sandwich. One of the employees is dead, and the other is in critical condition. A 36-year-old man has been arrested. I hate mayonnaise, but a sandwich should never incite violence. What we have in this country is...

Roe v. Wade is gone, and I believe it was the progressives' fault. I'm Peter Serefine with today's Liberty Minute. I believe abortion is murder, but I didn't say much about it until New York and Virginia started to allow abortion up till the moment of birth. It was those laws that got me involved in politics.  Those two states inspired me to write my first book. If abortion had stayed safe, l...

We have gun rules changing all over. I'm Peter Serefine with today's Liberty Minute. The Supreme Court said New York's arbitrary discretion over concealed carry permits is unconstitutional. This might mean that more states will become shall-issue states, but we shouldn't jump the gun just yet.  The may-issue states could just pass specific laws restricting who can get a concealed carry permit...

Biden wants to save you 18 cents on gas for three months. I'm Peter Serefine with today's Liberty Minute. So let's get this straight again.  The week Biden was elected, regular gas was $2.11 a gallon. The week Russia invaded Ukraine, gas was already up $1.33 to $3.44 a gallon. Now gas is over $5 a gallon, and Biden asked Congress to suspend the 18 cents a gallon gas tax for three months. This...

Let's talk electric vehicles for a minute. I'm Peter Serefine with today's Liberty Minute. Sure, electric vehicles produce fewer emissions than an internal combustion vehicle, but what about making the different cars? Building a conventional gas car generates about six tons of CO2. Producing an electric car with a range comparable to a gas engine, about 400 miles, generates over twenty-five tons o...

Infants can now get the covid jab I'm Peter Serefine with today's Liberty Minute. Keep in mind that all covid shots available in the United States are still under Emergency Use Authorization, which means by definition are still experimental.  As such, they are subject to the Nuremberg Code which states, quoting front rule one: The voluntary consent of the human subject is absolutely essential...

I have an idea to fix almost all the problems of the federal government. I'm Peter Serefine with today's Liberty Minute. Okay, its not my idea.  It's a bill sitting in the House that will probably never get a vote. H.R.46 - One Bill, One Subject Transparency Act If every bill in the House could only deal with one subject then Congress couldn't add unrelated amendments.  Pork and earmarks...

Our southern border has never been more open. I'm Peter Serefine with today's Liberty Minute. Last month Customs and Border Patrol agents reported 239,416 encounters with illegal aliens.  That is the most ever reported in a single month. That is also a 2% increase over April. What is more telling, 25% of the people caught had been previously arrested and deported. The number of unaccompanied...

Dr. Anthony Fauci has Covid-19. I'm Peter Serefine with today's Liberty Minute. Doctor Fauci tested positive and will follow all of his own recommendations, I'm sure. After two "vaccine" shots and two booster shots, and often wearing two masks he still got the Wuhan Flu.  I thought it was a pandemic of the unvaccinated. In about a week, Dr. Fauci will praise the jabs for keeping him out of th...

Washington, D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser flew 51-star American flags along Pennsylvania Avenue for Flag Day yesterday. I'm Peter Serefine with today's Liberty Minute. The mayor said she directed her team to hang the 51-star flags “as a reminder to Congress and the nation that the 700,000 tax-paying American citizens living in Washington, D.C. demand to be recognized." Washington DC is t...

A speech to celebrate Old Glory on Flag Day

Congress is out of control. I'm Peter Serefine with today's Liberty Minute. Members of the Jan. 6 committee believe they’ve uncovered enough evidence to indict former President Donald Trump, according to the Associated Press. The Department of Justice completed its investigation into Trump's alleged involvement in the storming of the Capitol a long time ago and did not bring charges against t...

I'm Peter Serefine with today's Liberty Minute. One of the gun control ideas being contemplated in DC is restricting semiautomatic firearm sales to those 21 and over. You can vote, own property, sign contracts, be charged and tried as an adult, get married, and be sent away to die in uniform at 18. You can't drink, vape, or smoke tobacco until 21, and the most popular firearms could be off limits...

I'm Peter Serefine with today's Liberty Minute. Biden plans to invoke the Defense Production Act.  For what, the war in Ukraine?  Gasoline?  Baby Formula?  Nope, climate change. That's right; Resident Biden is using wartime emergency power so he can grant and loan money to solar manufacturing and other green energy technologies. I have nothing against solar power or any other g...

Gas prices have officially doubled since Biden took office. I'm Peter Serefine with today's Liberty Minute. On January 19th, 2022, the United States was energy independent.  We were a net exporter of energy products.  The national average for a gallon of regular gas was $2.39. Resident Biden is sworn in and immediately cancels the Keystone XL pipeline, stops federal land leases, adds new...

Biden continues to push for more gun laws. I'm Peter Serefine with today's Liberty Minute. Last night, Resident Biden addressed the nation to push Congress for more gun control laws.  He said, "For God's sake, how much more carnage are we willing to accept?" He also said, "do something." I can't believe I'm going to say this, but I agree with Biden.  We should do something. We should pro...

Biden claimed ignorance. I'm Peter Serefine with today's Liberty Minute. Yesterday, referring to the baby formula shortage, Resident Biden said, “I don’t think anyone anticipated the impact of the shutdown of one facility, the Abbott facility,” Seriously?  You shut down the facility responsible for 40% of domestic baby formula manufacturing and didn't anticipate a 40% shortage.  You don'...

Gun control laws do not stop shootings. I'm Peter Serefine with today's Liberty Minute. There were 11 mass shootings over Memorial Day weekend this year.  At least seven were killed and 49 injured by these mass shooters. A total of 38 people were shot this weekend in Chicago. Seven people were also shot in New York City. Those two cities have some of the strictest gun laws in our country, yet...
