Philly Murder Suspect Should've Been Behind Bars :: 01/19/2021
Philadelphia’s homicide rate is soaring right now, with 499 murders in 2020 marking the highest number of intentional fatalities in nearly 30 years. There’s a lot of blame to go around, from the soft-on-crime approach taken by Philadelphia D.A. Larry Krasner to Police Commissioner Danielle Outlaw’s decision to lay off of enforcing some crimes during the coronavirus pandemic to the judges releasing criminals on low bail when they should be confined behind bars.

WaPo: Why's It Always About Guns With These Gun People? :: 01/17/2021
The mainstream media has a big problem when it comes to gun owners. Well, and with gun owners too. This column by author and researcher Jennifer Carlson in the Washington Post is a fantastic example of the inability by the vast majority of the mainstream national media to approach gun ownership as a normal activity.

It reminds me of Jane Goodall describing the behavior of primates to an audience of rapt listeners.

President Trump was impeached yesterday by a mostly party-line vote. Ten House Republicans did cross the picket line to back the Democratic Party’s unhealthy fetish with impeaching this president. They did it using the Ukrainian quid pro quo sham which was pretty much was an offshoot of the wider Russian collusion hoax. Both were tied to a similar narrative. Both had next to nothing in terms of hard evidence. Now, with this riot that erupted on Capitol Hill last week, we're back to this urge to remove Trump days before he's set to leave office.

A Review of Politics in the New Year, 2021 :: 01/15/2021

What Does "Freedom" Mean? There Are Many Different Answers. :: 01/14/2021
Those of us who follow Mises and Rothbard think that freedom means “freedom from.” In Rothbard’s view, rights are negative. People aren’t at liberty to use force or threats of force against you or your property; but there are no positive enforceable rights to come to your assistance.
