“We need to spit out our federally issued pacifiers; it’s not a good look for anyone over the age of two.” – Government Gone Wild On December 23, Senator Rand Paul released his annual 2024 Festivus Report, named after the secular holiday rivaling Christmas.

Noting over 1 trillion in waste, fraud, and abus

“The village people didn't know it, but there was a reason for his gloom, a reason for his grumbling, a reason why he walked hunched over, as if carrying a great weight on his shoulders.” – The Christmas Miracle of Jonathan Toomey As the Advent season of hope, peace, joy, and love approaches, we begin once again our preparation for the arrival of the baby Jesus. It was a supernatural conception that commenced the human life of Jesus, born in a stable in Bethlehem, surround
“If you compost, drive a hybrid or electric car, enjoy being outdoors, get your groceries from a farmers’ market, pride yourself on buying regeneratively raised, 100% grass-fed beef or bison and sustainably sourced wild-caught Alaskan seafood, want to be more self-sufficient, and love animals, then you're in the right place. You are primed to become a hunter or hunting advocate.” – The Shotgun Conservationist In 1942, an animated film by Walt Disney introduced audiences in

“No legitimate scientist ever declared science to be “settled.” – Follow the Science In September 2024, Presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. ended his campaign and threw his support to fellow campaigner Donald Trump, as the two combined resources to win the upcoming election. As a sister slogan to MAGA, Kennedy’s "Make America Healthy Again" (MAHA) was adopted to take on the healthcare industry. With Americans as the highest abusers of prescription drugs, the mos
“I must, first, demonstrate how, under the governance of the printing press, discourse in America was different from what it is now- generally coherent, serious and rational; and then how, under the governance of television, it has become shriveled and absurd.” – Amusing Ourselves to Death Entertainer Steve Allen, who began his career in radio, once said that if radio is the theater of the mind, television is the theater of the mindless. Like print, radio was a medium suit
Passed in 2009, Obamacare promised lower costs and higher quality, along with universal coverage for all. After more than a decade, ongoing cost increases for taxpayers through premiums and deductibles are the rule, rather than the exception. In an attempt to help the unemployed, the disabled, employees with low wages, and those with pre-existing conditions, Obamacare, instead, interfered with everyone’s coverage.

In the 2020 P

“If liberalism is a theory of being an adult, nationalism and socialism are nostalgic longings for the comfort of childhood. Nationalism reproduces our father, the king and country for which we are willing to die. Socialism reproduces our mother, who will protect and nourish us… Many versions of the father-mother government have been disastrously bad for human welfare.” – Leave Me Alone and I’ll Make You Rich Poverty was the default position from the beginning of time. Bu

“The world is coming into Europe at precisely the moment that Europe has lost sight of what it is. And while the movement of millions of people from other cultures into a strong and assertive culture might have worked, the movement of millions of people into a guilty, jaded, and dying culture cannot.” – The Strange Death of Europe Is European culture being targeted for replacement, as too white, too rich, and too capitalist? All mass immigration over the past several decades
