Liberty Relearned

Collectivism, and its derivative forms of communism, socialism, and fascism are historically, and demonstratively evil. Collectivism is part and parcel of leftism, the belief that the world runs on a binary, oppressor vs. oppressed system. Though leftism in its myriad forms has been responsible for the deaths of millions, and impoverishment of billions, is nonetheless attractive to a large section...

Good and evil exist and what occurred in Israel this past weekend was an object lesson on the nature of pure, unadulterated EVIL. There is no rationalizing, no political justification for the massacre of innocent men, women and children. There's no time for “but both sides do it” moral equivalency. Both side's DON'T do it. Only one side executed babies, only one side took hostages, onl...

Biden freed up $6B of Iranian money. Weeks later, Hamas attacks Israel. Further proof that the Left never, ever, thinks of the second or third order consequences of what they do. Biden thought he could buy off the Iranians by freeing up that $6B. The Iranians instead put that money to use funding a Hamas war against Israel. One more reason why we need to #impeachbiden There are several reasons why...

The government is bringing back central planning, you know, because it's worked so well every other time it's been tried. Not for nothing, but central planning is a feature of both fascism and communism. Just Sayn'. The Biden regime continues to wage war on fossil fuels with its new proposed edicts regulating gas-powered furnaces. This will add to the cost of such items for what benefi...

Talking about a Northeastern Democrat being caught up in a bribery scandal is becoming a recurring feature here on the Podcast. This time though, we have a new name: Sen. Bob Menendez, (D NJ). He's being accused of selling influence to a foreign entity. Unlike Biden, Menendez is being indicted. There are calls from Democrats for his resignation. Apparently, he's more easily replaced at the...

Finally, we have an impeachment inquiry against President Biden. Despite what you may have heard, and what the media tell you, there is plenty of evidence of Biden family corruption that could be used against Joe Biden in an impeachment trial. Now the Republicans have to be smart, disciplined, and put together a case as prosecuting attorneys would in a criminal case. This week, we do a proper Dyst...

Here’s a real quick thought. I go through great pains to use precise language when it comes to talking about Left and liberals. The two terms are commonly conflated, but it is ever apparent that they are two different groups. The modern Left want something very different than classical liberals. Many, including in the conservative commentary space use the term, out of habit, even carelessly. So, w...

The White House is lawyering up in anticipation of an impeachment inquiry. Will the GOP grow a spine and do what needs to be done? At least authorize an impeachment inquiry, worry about what the Senate will do later. At least give the White House a real reason to hire those lawyers.

There's nothing wrong with the Speaker going to Hawaii, but the GOP needs to take care not to spread itself too thin. While they have to be careful not to get lured down every rabbit hole, Congress has an obligation to find out if the situation in Hawaii was mishandled. Unfortunately, if they investigate every Biden or Democrat screwup, they might never get anything of consequence done. The Wh...

Taking political prisoners is now policy with the Biden regime. Harrison Floyd, a supporter of Trump, is behind bars today as a political prisoner. He is one of Donald Trump's 18 co-defendants in a RICO case being brought against Trump et al by Fulton County DA Fani Willis. Threats of mask mandates are back in the news, despite the rate of daily deaths being attributed to COVID* are about 1/4...

Putting Hunter Biden on trial would mean having President Biden as a witness. The Democrats definitely don't want that. What will they do? The Rant:  The Left claims to hate fascists. Apparently, it's not the arresting and jailing of political opponents part of fascism they hate. They seem perfectly fine with that. Nor is it with government control of industry and commerce. Must be the nat...

So why the emphasis on group identity on the left? The left are collectivists. That collectivism might take the form of communism, socialism, or fascism. Each of these ideologies subordinate the will and the needs of the individual to that of the collective. It should come as no surprise then, that a focus on group rather than individual identity is paramount. Also, it is not surprising that colle...

While judging people based upon their membership in some greater group is not in and of itself wrong, it is often not appropriate. In the end, one must build merit for oneself, and one must be judged upon those merits. Merits and shortcomings alike are earned individually and thus cannot be transferred to others. Individuals are to be judged for individual deeds and be awarded or punished accordin...

According to a recent Gallup poll, 42% believe the Biden regime isn't particularly corrupt. How is it that 42% of Americans believe the Biden regime's ethics as good or excellent? That 42% would have to be either chronically uninformed or ethically challenged themselves. #bidencrimefamily Doesn't it seem like every time major news breaks about Biden family corruption that shortly after...

Another week, another Hunter Biden Story. This time, it's the DOJ trying to send Hunter's former business partner, Devon Archer to prison just in time to not testify in from of the House Oversight Committee. The DOJ has since thought twice about keeping Archer from testifying in such an obvious way. Archer is expected to give testimony in front of Congress that could not only further incri...

Cocainegate enters its third week, not because any advancements in the investigation, but precisely because there weren't any. The Secret Service has ended its investigation into who brought cocaine into the White House. Did they come to a dead end, or were they told to end it? Whatever the reason, that still doesn't help the fact that there is apparently still a cocaine user in the White...

This week, we have two cases of illegal behavior being winked at, if not outright encouraged. And who by? You know... Cocainegate enters its third week, not because any advancements in the investigation, but precisely because there weren't any. The Secret Service has ended its investigation into who brought cocaine into the White House. Did they come to a dead end, or were they told to end it?...

Good news! The Secret Service has concluded their investigation into the White House cocaine incident. The bad news is, they simply gave up trying to find out of a finite universe of suspects, who brought the illegal substance into the most secure edifice on the planet. Like with the Russian collusion hoax, we will probably only find out the truth of the matter if Trump or another Republican is el...
