Payne: The Ruling Nature of Evil

Tue, 2025-06-10 22:00 +0000

EFAs and GFAs

Tue, 2025-06-10 14:00 +0000
We should think about education the way we think about being armed — because being educated and being armed are the two principal tools for resisting over-reach by government. That is, you have a right, not to have someone else (arm/educate) you, but to (arm/educate) yourself.  And you have a responsibility to be (armed/educated), that ... Read more

Payne: Blueprint For Liberty

Tue, 2025-06-10 10:00 +0000
It is tragic that the partnership between Elon Musk and President Trump, which created DOGE, is ending. Congress has perpetuated a culture of waste and fraud, enabled by greedy majorities.

Opting-In vs. Opting-Out, It Matters

Tue, 2025-06-10 02:00 +0000

MacDonald: All the Speech You’re Free to Hate

Mon, 2025-06-09 20:00 +0000
The idea that saying things about Jews or Israel that are contrary to the approved narrative is hate speech is dangerous.

MacDonald: So Much For Poseidon’s Revenge

Mon, 2025-06-09 12:00 +0000
It’s almost Summer. That means another apocalyptic season of Biblical proportions. Or is it another season of biblical apocalypses?
