The lively and energetic film version of the Broadway musical comedy of the same name. In the days leading up to July 4, 1776, Continental Congressmen John Adams and Benjamin Franklin coerce Thomas Jefferson into writing the Declaration of Independence as a delaying tactic as they try to persuade the American colonies to support a resolution on independence. As George Washington sends depressing messages describing one military disaster after another, the businessmen, landowners and slave holders in Congress all stand in the way of the Declaration, and a single "nay" vote will forever end the question of independence. Large portions of spoken and sung dialog are taken directly ...
Guantanamo: A Constitutional Debacle

When President George W. Bush formulated the concept of an American Devil’s Island in Cuba, he did so heedless of the damage to the Constitution his experiment in torture and confinement without end would bring about. Bush made the case that torture and confinement at the U.S. Naval Base at Guantanamo Bay would allow the government to do its job. He boasted that the Constitution shouldn’t restrain him, federal laws wouldn’t apply, and federal judges couldn’t interfere. He was, of course, wrong on all counts. The Supreme Court ruled on six Gitmo cases; and the government lost five. In the case in which the government prevailed, the court ruled that the detainee filed ...

A central bank is not a natural product of banking development. It is imposed from the outside or comes into being as a result of government favors. —Vera Smith, The Rationale of Central Banking and the Free Banking Alternative Anarchy, the absence of coercive government, must not be confused with chaos. —Robert P. Murphy, Chaos Theory The Federal Reserve is dying from monetary mischief. The Fed recently made a woke mandate that will only accelerate its own demise. The Fed never should have existed. As a central bank, the Fed is a rogue institution that functions as a giant counterfeiter for hegemonic government and special interests. Government signed off on the Fed long ...

It’s tough to get people to agree; it’s even tougher to get the minority to submit to their opposition. But this is the nature of democracy – majority rule, over everyone else. We have recently been treated to a rare minority uprising, using a surprise set of tactics, some relating to rules of the game and others just relating to the game itself… and the results have been, for many viewers and participants, nothing less than tragic, horrific even. Of course, you know exactly what I am talking about. The US House of Representatives and the months-long drama of getting, and replacing, a Speaker! Dear reader, you may have thought I was going to wade into a certain ...
Supreme Court could soon quash Big Tech censorship

Justice Clarence Thomas has argued against Big Tech censorship saying these companies should have to serve all customers, just like phone companies, utilities and public accommodations. Never before in US history have Americans been less free to see and say what they want. The blame goes mostly to the social-media giants like Facebook, YouTube and Google that censor political views they don’t like. But the tech giants’ day of reckoning is near. Justice Clarence Thomas is taking them on. Phone companies like AT&T and Sprint can’t shut down your account because of your political views. American Airlines can’t refuse to sell you a ticket because you’ve ...

On Monday the US Supreme Court returns for a new term, where they'll have a laundry list of cases on their plate from the conservative 5th Circuit Court of Appeals, whose jurisdiction includes Louisiana, Mississippi and Texas. The 5th Circuit, populated with a majority of judges appointed by Republicans, six by former President Donald Trump, has established itself as a stalwart bastion of conservatism, propelling several high-profile cases to the Supreme Court's docket. This encompassing wave includes cases dissecting federal regulatory power, the second amendment, regulation of social media, and possibly even revisiting the issue of abortion, Bloomberg reports.

The Supreme Court is about to rule on America’s most powerful, unaccountable federal agency

Fed Court Rules It’s Illegal for the Biden Administration to Order Social Media to Do Censorship

I am pretty sure no one ever thought the government censoring speech was legal in the first place; the government was just doing it and there was no one to stop them. So what does a court ruling saying “this obviously illegal thing you are doing is illegal” mean? Basically nothing. It’s interesting, but that’s all. Whatever you think of Elon Musk – and I personally think he’s a fat retard who is bad at video games and censors well-meaning people for no good reason – it was the release of the Twitter Files that allowed this to happen. That was really the only way the government was ever going to get caught – for a billionaire to offer a deal ...

New Mexico Governor Suspends First Amendment To Silence Criticism Over Suspending Second Amendment

ALBUQUERQUE, NM — Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham called yet another news conference to announce she was now suspending the First Amendment to silence the heavy criticism she has received for suspending the Second Amendment. "I am officially declaring that people criticizing me for stripping constitutional rights is a public health emergency," she said when making the controversial announcement. "Due to the terrifying response to my second amendment decision, I am feeling really bad about myself and now have no choice but to suspend the First Amendment as well. So… you know…be quiet. QUIET!"

Report – Bush family CIA “oil intelligence mafia” wants to kill MAGA, stop Trump

The world's largest oil reserves, believe it or not, exist in a large swath of land covering West Texas and a small portion of New Mexico. And the Bush family dynasty, which Foundation for Freedom Online executive director Mike Benz calls a CIA "oil intelligence mafia," remains in full control of this geopolitical "liquid gold" mine. Both major political parties, Benz explains in a lengthy series of X (formerly known as Twitter) posts, have been working hand in hand for many decades to keep this oil intelligence mafia in full control of world affairs – that is until Donald Trump arrived. Once Trump gained control of the White House, the "red" side ...
Dems Accidentally Reveal Their Plan To Destroy The Constitution Ahead of Schedule

ALBUQUERQUE, NM — Democrats accidentally let their master plan to utterly destroy the United States Constitution slip out into public slightly ahead of schedule. "Welp, this is embarrassing," said Governor Grisham of New Mexico. "Really jumped the gun on announcing how we would do away with the Bill of Rights. Get it - jumped the gun?? Ha! Anyhow, yeah, that's how we're going to blow the Constitution to pieces. Cat's out of the bag!" According to sources within the party, the Democrats had planned on giving it another five to ten years before destroying the remains of the Constitution. "It's a little ahead of schedule, but I doubt the sheep ...

Albuquerque DA Refusing to Enforce Governor's Suspension of 2nd Amendment Rights: 'Clearly Unconstitutional' By Jack Davis September 10, 2023 at 1:24pm As a lawsuit is challenging the headline-grabbing order issued by New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham that banned legal gun owners from carrying their weapons in and around Albuquerque, a top prosecutor says he wants nothing to do with the edict. On Friday, Lujan Grisham issued an order that had the effect of banning individuals from carrying guns in Albuquerque and Bernalillo County for at least 30 days. Lujan Grisham, a Democrat, said she issued her emergency health order in response to recent shootings that included the ...
Anti-Defamation League (ADL) used HIDDEN MICROPHONES to spy on Americans in their own homes in search of “toxic speech”

It is being reported that artificial intelligence (AI) robots trained by the Anti-Defamation League, a Jewish supremacy group, are now eavesdropping on Call of Duty video game players through the software's in-game voice chats. The ADL's goal with this AI spying operation is to catch players who engage in "toxic speech," "hate speech," "discriminatory language, harassment and more," reports indicate. According to Infowars' Alex Jones, this high-tech invasion of privacy "signals the birth of a totalitarian regime that would make Hitler's Nazis envious."

Is the CIA in Your Underwear?

In a year, if a friend asks you if the CIA is in your underwear, you’d probably not take the question seriously. You’d be wrong. The CIA is spending millions in tax dollars to get into your underwear next year. Eleven years ago, when this column asked if the CIA was in your kitchen, folks who read only the title of the column mocked it. Yet, then-CIA Director Gen. David Petraeus gave a talk to CIA analysts that he fully expected to be kept secret. In the talk he revealed that CIA vendors had discovered a means to log on to the computer chips in kitchen microwave ovens and dishwashers. From there, they could listen in real time to the conversations in a kitchen if those chatting ...
A Draconian New Law Snuck Through This Month That Institutes Extreme Censorship of the Internet on a Global Basis

The Internet just changed forever, but most people living in the United States don’t even realize what just happened. A draconian new law known as the “Digital Services Act” went into effect in the European Union on Friday, and it establishes an extremely strict regime of Internet censorship that is far more authoritarian than anything we have ever seen before. From this point forward, hordes of European bureaucrats will be the arbiters of what is acceptable to say on the Internet. If they discover something that you have said on a large online platform that they do not like, they can force that platform to take it down, because someone in Europe might see it. So even ...
The Washington Post Calls For Reducing Free Speech To Improve Democracy
Post Date: 2023-08-29 10:43:04 by Ada
0 Comments
In very post-2016 fashion, The Washington Post last week published an articleimplying democracy might require curbs on freedom of speech. This unsettling approach suggests concerns around “misinformation” on social networks supersede freedom of speech, a move that has elicited intense debate and, rightly so; criticism. In what appears to be a shift in public discourse towards further censorship, the widely-read Washington Post article critiqued Elon Musk’s reinstatement of former President Donald Trump on the social media platform, X, previously known as Twitter. The article suggested that the proliferation of what it calls “political misinformation” disturbs ...
31 Years After Ruby Ridge, the FBI Is Still Killing Americans with Impunity

It’s been 31 years since the beginning of the FBI’s murderous siege on the home of the Weaver family. The deadly incident prompted enough outrage to spur Congressional hearings, protests from across the political spectrum, several dramatized TV portrayals and a promise from the FBI and Department of Justice that they would revise the reckless tactics used at Ruby Ridge to avoid future tragedies (this was six months before the Waco massacre). Fast forward to 2023, and the only difference in relation to federal law enforcement behavior is the disappearance of journalists and politicians willing to demand accountability from the FBI. As Republicans and Democrats waste time and ...
Torture Comes Home to Roost

“Maybe there is a beast. Maybe it’s only us.” ~ William Golding (1911-1993), “Lord of the Flies” Hidden within some folks are the souls of saints. Hidden within others are the souls of beasts. Torture unleashes the beasts. Nothing is more destructive of human decency, nothing is less fruitful in seeking truth, nothing is more totalitarian and nothing so undermines the government’s own cases as its use of torture. Yet, torture is universally condoned by the government. Last week, at the U.S. Naval Base at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, torture came home to roost when the government suffered serious setbacks in two cases. In one, a military judge suppressed the ...
Some thoughts, all cynical and sour, about the Republican debate

So, I sat through all two hours of the debate amongst the Republican primary candidates, although I was very irked by Larry Elder’s absence. Having said that, he didn’t miss much. It was like watching a junior high school debate, complete with the cool kids asking stupid questions and the geeks fighting on the stage. I hated every minute of it, thought it was embarrassing for all involved, and found it insulting to the American voters. If you want details about questions and answers, you’ll find them elsewhere. These are just my impressions. As is the case every election cycle, the format is appalling. It caters to the media’s assumption that voters cannot hold ...

But just as long as the ATF is not kicking in your door, everything is fine and you should just drink more estrogen beer and eat more microplastics and support Ron DeSantis. New York Post: Gun dealers are crying foul as the Biden administration pursues an apparent crackdown on legal firearms sellers, whose licenses have been revoked at an unprecedented rate over the last two years. “This policy is designed to be a backdoor violation of the Second Amendment,” Anthony Navarro, a Greeley, Colorado, dealer who lost his license last year, told the Wall Street Journal. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives has taken away the licenses of 122 gun dealers since ...

They don’t think you know, but I know that you do. If you have any social media presence at all, by now you’ve likely seen Oliver Anthony’s breakout performance of a song he wrote titled, “Rich Men North of Richmond.” The overnight sensation has been nothing but humble and grateful, and how he’s wrestled with his instant success has only made him more endearing to his growing number of fans. After he went viral, he had to actually create a Twitter account: he chose the handle @AintGottaDollar, which is nearing 350,000 followers. Shortly thereafter, he announced he’d be uploading the song to all major streaming platforms and would perform for free at ...
When All Crimes Are Those Against the State

“Do not encroach against others or their property.” The above principle is a simple one, yet it’s the basis for all criminal law. In turn, criminal law is the basis for Common Law, the legal system for English-speaking peoples and much of the rest of the world. The idea is a simple one: If party A aggresses against party B, party B is entitled under the law to restitution or compensation to be paid by party A to party B. Well, that seems straightforward enough. But at some point along the way, two fundamental changes have been made that don’t reflect the original principle. First, convicted offenders started to be ordered by the court to pay the court as punishment. ...
Supreme Court Urged To Reject Ghost Gun Ban

Update (1700ET): The US Supreme Court extended a temporary order letting the Biden administration keep enforcing a regulation applying to build- at-home “ghost guns.” The order from Justice Samuel Alito gives the high court until next Tuesday to decide how to handle the case. A federal trial judge in Texas threw out the regulation, and the Biden administration is seeking to put that ruling on hold while the case is on appeal. Alito previously had paused the lower court order until Friday. * * * Authored by As The Epoch Times' Matthew Vadum detailed earlier, Second Amendment advocates are urging the Supreme Court to let stand a federal judge’s ruling blocking the ...
