235 – Gohmert’s Gambit

There has been a lot of news about Rep. Gohmert’s lawsuit against Vice-President Pence regarding the counting of the votes of the Presidential Electors. Much of the reporting is wrong, but then, so is much of what I found in the actual suit. Rather than reviewing all of the misinformation coming out of the news media, I went right to the lawsuit, and found plenty of misinformation for this article.

233 – Is Your Liberty Worth Just $600?

There is a story about a man who propositioned a women with $1,000,000 to spend one night with her. She agreed. Then the man acknowledged that he did not have $1,000,000 and asked if she would spend the night with him for just $100? When she asked what kind of woman he thought she was, the man replied, “We both know what kind of woman you are. Now we’re just haggling over price.”
It appears the politicians in Washington, D.C. know what kind of people most American citizens are. Now, they’re just haggling over price.

I have heard a lot of talk lately about the institution of the Insurrection Act and martial law.

227 – Bill of Rights Day

On December 15th, 1791, the first ten amendments, known as the Bill of Rights, were ratified and became part of the U.S. Constituiton. However, there is more to the story than just the names and dates.

Why is our Bill of Rights included as amendments to the Constituiton rather than part of the original document? How was it created? Why was it created? And what is the state of the Bill of Rights today, in the 21st century? Let’s celebrate the 229th anniversary of these amendments by finding the answers to those questions.

225 – Can Liberty Survive in a Pandemic?

Having lived most of my life in New York State, and with friends and family that still live there, I followed the case of ROMAN CATHOLIC DIOCESE OF BROOKLYN, NEW YORK v. ANDREW M. CUOMO, GOVERNOR OF NEW YORK with great interest. With the recent Supreme Court opinion, many were claiming victory for religious liberty. However, as is often the case, the facts don’t exactly match the rhetoric.

224 – We the People

Rights and liberty are under greater threat than any other time I have seen. What can We the People do to defend them? We’ll discuss some options here.
