A newly proposed South Carolina law would make it illegal for certain institutions to ask a person for their COVID-19 vaccination status. “The government has no place in making you or telling you to take the vaccination or threatening your livelihood if you don’t,” said state Rep.

A representative of a public, private, or nonprofit entity who asks about a person’s COVID-19 vaccination status should be fined more than $14,000 or imprisoned not more than one year, or both, according to the text of the bill. “South Carolina didn’t want...

(CNN)San Jose, California, is getting closer to adopting a first-in-the-nation law to address gun violence by requiring all gun owners to pay a fee and carry liability insurance. The Silicon Valley city's council is due to vote Tuesday on the ordinance, whose dual-pronged approach aims to reduce the risk of gun harm by incentivizing safer behavior and to ease taxpayers of the financial burden of gun violence. "Certainly the Second Amendment protects every citizen's right to own a gun. It does not require taxpayers to subsidize that right," Democratic Mayor Sam Liccardo said Monday at a news conference, estimating that...

In a twist of fate, after two years of increasing COVID communism in the Great White North, it looks like humble, courageous, and patriotic truckers might be the heroes who save this hallowed nation of snow and ice. In his letter to the Hebrews, the Apostle Paul tells us, “For whom the Lord loveth, he chastiseth.” In essence, God disciplines those He loves. Well, if that is the case, then God must really love Canada, because we have lived in a Trudopian dystopia for some time now, and until now it seemed that there was no end in sight. ......
