  • Government by Judiciary: The Transformation of the Fourteenth Amendment

    Online Library of Liberty ^ | 1977, 1997 edition | Raoul Berger
    It is the thesis of this monumentally argued book that the United States Supreme Court - largely through abuses of the Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution, has embarked on "a continuing revision of the Constitution, under the guise of interpretation." Consequently, the Court has subverted America's democratic institutions and wreaked havoc upon Americans' social and political lives. One of the first constitutional scholars to question the rise of judicial activism in modern times, Raoul Berger points out that "the Supreme Court is not empowered to rewrite the Constitution, that in its transformation of the Fourteenth Amendment it has demonstrably done...
  • Never-Before-Seen Footage of George Floyd in Store Appears to Show Strange Behavior, Cashier Testifies He Seemed 'High'

    Despite the establishment media’s insistence that a conviction is inevitable in former police officer Derek Chauvin’s trial, there are actually many compounding factors that make the case relatively complex. One of those factors is that George Floyd, who died last May after a confrontation with Chauvin and other police in Minneapolis, apparently had large amounts of drugs in his system. New surveillance footage from the store where Floyd allegedly used a fake bill before the incident seems to confirm that fact. On Wednesday, footage from inside the Cup Foods where the counterfeit bill incident occurred was shown for the first...

    The metastasis of the “woke” ideology is the most comprehensive threat facing the American republic. It is appallingly totalitarian, insofar as the woke wield the levers of cancel culture to suppress all dissident speech, root out all wrongthink and achieve by sheer force an intellectual homogeneity. It is outright racist, insofar as intersectionality and identity politics, to say nothing of vogue concepts such as “critical race theory” and “racial equity,” overtly discriminate on the basis of race and thus undermine the preeminent American ethos of equal protection under the law. What’s more, that universality often takes the more insidious form...

    Actor Gary Sinise is a rare sight to behold in Hollywood. Instead of soaking up accolades for his memorable performances and indulging in the celebrity lifestyle, Sinise dedicates most of his time to helping America’s veterans. In 2011, the actor established the Gary Sinise Foundation, which has adapted nearly 70 smart homes for veterans who suffered severe wounds in service of their nation. But Sinise’s foundation also has launched an initiative to help the country’s heroes continue to heal beyond their physical scars. According to The Atlanta Jewish Times, Sinise is teaming with The Home Depot co-founders Bernie Marcus and...
  • Trump Calls for Boycott of MLB, Coca-Cola, Delta Over Opposition to Georgia Election Reforms

    The Epoch Times ^ | April 2, 2021 Updated: April 3, 2021 | IVAN PENTCHOUKOV
    Former President Donald Trump on April 2 urged people to boycott Major League Baseball (MLB), Coca-Cola, Delta, and other corporations which are openly opposing election reforms enacted by Republicans in Georgia. “Baseball is already losing tremendous numbers of fans, and now they leave Atlanta with their All-Star Game because they are afraid of the Radical Left Democrats who do not want voter I.D., which is desperately needed, to have anything to do with our elections,” Trump wrote in a statement released by his Save America political action committee. “Boycott baseball and all of the woke companies that are interfering with...

Normalcy Bias is a cognitive bias which leads people to not believe or minimize threat warnings. Individuals affected by this condition underestimate the likelihood of a...
  • Celebrating the Resurrection; our Family Tradition.

    As we are prepare to celebrate our family gathering to celebrate the resurrection of the Lord as spring warmth touches us I open the windows and let fresh air and bird's songs in. I replace the fabrics from cozy winter plaids to soft pastel florals. The wind blows the curtains and floral candles scent the air, gone-with-the-wind lamps give soft glow to the antiques and the artwork adorned with bible verses make each room very calming and I am soothed. Our home is ready to give our traveling children the comfort of being back in the arms of family and...

    They are dishonestly attacking the Georgia legislation as a throwback to the Jim Crow era, while simultaneously assailing the Senate filibuster as “racist” as well. Those are two vital elements of the grand plan to ram the federal election-takeover legislation, HR 1, the euphemistically titled “For the People Act,” through Congress. The true intent of the legislation—and the road map to get it to Biden’s desk—is to weaken election security and to cement liberals’ hold on power for decades.

    The Recognizing the Protection of Motorsports bill fights EPA overreach. Like all nasty brawls, this one has been festering for a while; back in 2015, the EPA had proposed extending emissions standards to include dedicated off-road vehicles as well as race machines (including street vehicles converted for use on the strip), and the Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA)—the trade association for aftermarket equipment manufacturers—lashed out, saying the agency’s actions were a gross misinterpretation the Clean Air Act (CAA) that would legislate a sizable chunk of the motorsports aftermarket out of existence. Because of massive public outcry, the EPA ended up...

    When Marine Corps Capt. William Mahoney took off for a routine training flight on June 7, 2014, he was probably just expecting to fly a few hundred miles and use some missiles to shoot down alien spacecraft (…because we get our entire understanding of Marine Corps aviation from Independence Day). But what Mahoney didn’t know was that his AV-8 Harrier had a landing gear problem that wouldn’t become apparent until the jet alerted him to it in the air. VIDEO He flew past the control tower on the USS Bataan and asked the people there to take a look. They...

    Wearing a face mask covering the nose and mouth – previously thought to be the necessary equipment for bank robbers – has proven a boon in reducing COViD-19 infection. Now, researchers from the Galilee Medical Center and the Azrieli Faculty of Medicine of Bar-Ilan University (BIU) in Ramat Gan (near Tel Aviv) have found that masks can protect people who suffer from seasonal allergies Studying how much of a difference wearing a mask could make for allergy sufferers with mild, moderate, and severe symptoms, they found that this practice can reduce the symptoms in some people. In the US alone,...

  • Woke to Broke: Moving All-Star Game Costs Atlanta Tens of Millions in Revenue

    Major League Baseball announced this year’s All-Star Game would be relocated out of Atlanta, Georgia, costing the city as much as $190 million in revenue, according to official estimates. Bill Volckmann, Finance Director for Cobb County, appraised the All-Star Game’s economic impact to fall somewhere between $37 million and $190 million in his 213-page agenda packet. While some dispute the high-end of those projections, it’s safe to say the city – especially lower-wage workers who would have worked the event – would have benefited greatly.
