Epistemic Rigidity Killed Kirk and Zarutska

What has happened to this great nation of ours? Sometimes, I no longer recognize it. American flags are hate speech? Debates are now fights? Education is indoctrination? We have lost our way and seem to be speeding toward something terrible. Perhaps, we are already there. In my opinion, the murder of Charlie Kirk at Utah […]

How the Machine Suppresses Truth

Our best decisions are typically rooted in accurate information. However, when critical information about corruption, public health risks, or institutional failures are silenced, society is left uninformed and unprepared to address real threats. This manufactured ignorance can lead to unsafe policies, unchecked abuses of power, and the erosion of public trust in essential systems. Moreover, […]

Care About Your Rights? Let’s Talk About It

Let me make something abundantly clear: an unalienable or natural right naturally exists in the absence of authority and does not inherently infringe upon the rights of another. It does not matter your race, gender, sexual preference, religion, or anything else because these things do not change in the absence of authority. What they teach […]

And to the Republic, for which it stood

I want to start this article with an excerpt from the notes of Dr. James McHenry, a delegate at the Constitutional Convention. On page 618 of the American Historical Review (vol. 11, 1906), there was an anecdote that reads: “A lady asked Dr. Franklin; “Well Doctor, what have we got, a republic or a monarchy?” […]

As originally written and ratified, the Constitution of the United States contains just 4,618 words (including signatures), organized into seven articles. Since then, 27 amendments have been added, though […]

Has the Constitution Failed Us?

I have a LOT of respect for anyone who fights for liberty. Undoubtedly, many who subscribe to socialism, anarchism, or even democracy believe they are doing just that. So I do respect that, but I also frown upon the fact that so little objective research has been done on their part before going out to […]

Corruption EVERYWHERE

How can the citizenry trust that authority if the authority is blatantly and unapologetically extorting money from the people, profiting from them, and threatening them? When that authority unfairly targets political groups because of political belief, how can the citizenry trust that authority? When the authority continues to vote themselves raises and will not set […]

Founding Father’s Day

It’s Father’s Day. What did you get him? Another tie? Wouldn’t it be great if we celebrated our fathers every day? Wouldn’t it be great if we showed dad that we loved him and appreciated him more than just once a year or instead of only on special holidays? I sure do. That’s why I let […]
