A Mandate to Dismantle the Department of Education

today's newsletter

Well, it looks like Donald Trump has claimed the decisive victory he was hoping for.   Winning both the popular vote and the electoral college gave him the mandate many felt he needed if he was going to be able to actually bring about the many changes he promised on the campaign trail. Adding to his […]

It’s Not About the Squirrel; It’s About the State

By now, you may have heard about Peanut the Squirrel, who met a tragic end after being taken from his owner by New York State officials. Peanut was a beloved pet and social media sensation, known for his adorable antics and the strong bond he shared with his owner, Mark Longo. In late October, officials […]

Why do we accept war and sickness as constants?

Have you noticed how sick Americans are? It’s shocking when you compare our health statistics to other countries—chronic illnesses, childhood allergies, and autoimmune conditions plague us at rates that are quite literally off the charts.  We’re one of the wealthiest nations, yet somehow one of the unhealthiest. And it’s not because we don’t spend a […]

Truth is Treason in the Empire of Lies

On October 27, 1942, the Nazis executed the youngest person they ever formally sentenced to death.  His name was Helmuth Hübener.  His crime was telling the truth.  In 1941, Helmuth began writing leaflets criticizing Hitler’s regime and sharing news he heard on forbidden Allied radio broadcasts. He and a few close friends knew full well […]

Literally Hitler: Your kids deserve better.

Fear is the Mind Controller

It feels like everywhere we turn, fear is being used to manipulate us.  Whether it’s politicians hyping up some looming disaster, media pundits stirring up panic about their latest boogeyman, or the sick feeling we get in the pits of our stomachs when we see the ways the Department of Justice has been weaponized, fear […]

Your government thinks you’re dumb.

Do you ever get the feeling that those in power don’t have a lot of respect for you—that maybe they think you’re kind of dumb? Perhaps I’m just getting older and my B.S. detector has become super fine-tuned, or maybe it’s because every day of this election seems to bring more outlandish news than the […]

UBI Was Supposed To Create Prosperity. It Didn’t.

Child watering a tree

When Andrew Yang ran for president in 2020, a lot of people went all-in on his proposed Universal Basic Income (UBI). It sounded so good. Give everyone $1,000 a month, no strings attached, and watch the magic happen.  The idea was that UBI would empower people to follow their dreams—start a business, get the job […]

What Happens When the Wealth Creators Shrug?

Did you see what happened in Norway? Their government decided to raise its wealth tax, expecting this new policy to pull in an additional $146 million each year.  Somehow, they were shocked when the opposite happened.  Instead of more revenue, they got an exodus. Norway’s wealthiest people, representing a whopping $54 billion in assets, packed […]

Playing It Safe Won’t Build the Future

In political battle, most CEOs stay on the sidelines. It makes sense to a degree—they’re not political creatures. They have a corporate mission and a responsibility to shareholders. They focus on their work and stay in their lane. But it also doesn’t make sense given how intrusive the government is, and can be, in their […]

How Modern Villains Use the Law Against You

I’ve been thinking lately about power.  Specifically, about how power is maintained—not through elections or by consent, but by twisting the law into a weapon.  The strategy is simple: create so many rules, regulations, and technicalities that everyone becomes a criminal without even knowing it. That way, when someone steps out of line (when they […]
