What Can Be Done (Part 2): States' Rights Under the Constitution and Court Precedent Part 1 of this series discussed the unlikelihood of addressing the current crisis through electoral means at the federal level. Instead, we need to turn to one of the fundamental concepts of the Founding Fathers: federalism. The United States was formed as a union ...

As of this writing in early May 2022, seldom does a week pass without news of yet another federal rule, regulation, program, action, or decision challenging our freedoms – in violation of the Constitutional separation of powers and the 10th Amendment's explicit limitation on the power of the federal government. How, within the law, to resist this a...

We can absolutely live without the garbage that is social media, Big Tech woke policies and many other aspects of the internet. But we do glean a great deal of value from instructional YouTube videos, the wisdom in technical forums and the wealth of PDF manuals and e-books that are readily available. Lots of important knowledge that becomes even mo...

Before acquiescing to the angry activists of climate change pseudo-science, and the anti-American Left who disdain their own nation because it is better off than some others, we should step back and take a look at our energy needs and resources and rational approaches to their management.  At the heart of the climate change cult – the worship ...

Hoarders, by modern standards. But, having lived through times of sustained shortages in g...

The federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives has never been a guarantor of the rights of law-abiding Americans; but its most recent actions are some of the worst in its history. We've all heard the jokes. ATF should be a convenience store, not a government agency. Hide your dog if they come knocking on your door. Insult them by ...

Understanding the art of surveillance – both detecting it and performing it when necessary – is importance to our continued well-being.

"No man is an island, entire of itself" said English poet John Donne, and in today's networked, interdependent world, that has never been truer.
