Dr. Birx Praises Herself While Revealing Ignorance, Treachery, and Deceit ⋆
The story of the lockdowns is a tale of Biblical proportions, at once evil and desperately sad and tragic, a story of power, scientific failure, intellectual insularity and insanity, outrageous arrogance, feudalistic impulses, mass delusion, plus political treachery and conspiracy. It is real-life horror for the ages, a tale of how the land of the free became a despotic hellscape so quickly and… → Read More
The Origin and Operation of the US Administrative State ⋆

When Haircuts Were Illegal ⋆
Let us not forget those months when the haircut was illegal. When governments finally allowed them, it didn’t allow blow dryers and made customers follow arrows on the floor and use only “touchless” payment methods. That’s pandemic control in a nutshell. What a disgrace this entire period was to science, rationality, human rights, and freedom. → Read More
Two Weeks to Flatten the GDP ⋆

Now is the Time for Mass Resignations from Within the Ruling Class ⋆
The obvious answer to the current instability is mass resignations within the administrative state and among the class of politicians that gives it cover. In the name of peace, human rights, and the renewal of prosperity and trust, this needs to happen today. Bury the pride and do what’s right. Do it now while there is still time for the revolution to be velvet. → Read More
Slouching Toward Endemicity ⋆
The ambition to wipe out the virus in two weeks or permanently “slow the spread” only prolonged the pain. Slouching toward endemicity. → Read More
A President Betrayed by Bureaucrats: Scott Atlas’s Masterpiece on the Covid Disaster ⋆
Atlas’s book has exposed a scandal for the ages. It is enormously valuable because it fully blows up what seems to be an emerging fake story involving a supposedly Covid-denying president who did nothing vs. heroic scientists in the White House who urged compulsory mitigating measures consistent with prevailing scientific opinion. Not one word of that is true → Read More

Every tyranny in history depended on recruits from within the culture. The desire to cleanse society of enemies compels compliance. → Read More
They Considered and Rejected Pandemic Closures in 1957 ⋆
Newspaper reports at the time offer no record of widespread public event cancellations much less forced closures. Sometimes college and high school football games were postponed due to illness absences. Some conventions were cancelled by organizers. But that is all. → Read More
YouTube Censors Florida Governor DeSantis and His Science Advisors
"The pulling of the roundtable video comes a day after the total humiliation of 60 Minutes in many stories that defended the governor. Its deletion of the most viewed version online denies viewers the opportunity to observe DeSantis’s impressive knowledge on the subject of the coronavirus and... → Read More
When Your Intellectual Heroes Let You Down
"The case against lockdowns is the obverse of the case for freedom itself. It seems unconscionable for any liberal mind to be wrong on this point. That so many have gone silent or even shown sympathy for lockdowns reveals just how tremendously confusing these times have been." ~ Jeffrey Tucker → Read More
