    With Jacinda Ardern's welcome exit from the ranks of world political leaders, leaving a shambles of constitutional freedom and human rights in her wake, now is perhaps an opportune time to reconsider the passage of the 19th amendment in American politics as part of our ongoing series of "To Save America" modest proposals advocating repeal of the most destructive tamperings with the original Constitution. We've already made the arguments for the repeal of the 16th, 17th, 18th (done!), and 26th amendments, so now it's time for the women's suffrage movement to take its turn in the barrel.Oops.Start with this: there...
  • A Modest Proposal for Liberals Upset At Wisconsin

    So liberals are pretty peeved about the votes that were found in the Wisconsin Supreme Court race that kept the apparently conservative Justice David Prosser in his seat. Obviously the election was stolen because the liberal candidate JoAnne Kloppenberg, had already declared victory, even though her 200 vote lead would have guaranteed a recount, to say nothing of the lagging absentee count...but she said! This highlights two things that stuck out in my mind. One proof that an election is stolen from liberals lies basically in whether or not they lost. They damn well know how elections get stolen...over...

    No, I mean it. Go ahead and de-fund it. You’ve taken so much else away, why not that? You’re not satisfied that your market gods crushed the plucky, idealistic underdogs at Air America and scattered them to CNN, HLN and the Senate. It’s not enough that you used your overwhelming majorities, er, ideological um, group-think, to stymie the agenda of a young president and the good people that sought to help him. You’ve demonized a grandmother from San Francisco, and so ferociously attacked the courageous Chairman of the House Financial Services Committee that his life partner had to spring to...

    In the wake of the passage of Obamacare, there has been a great deal of talk about the spending commitments made by the bill. Far from the rosy promises made by the NON-PARTISAN™©® Congressional Budget Office, it turns out that the Administration, in conjunction with Congress, actually held back damaging information on the budget numbers during deliberations. But that’s not all. Obama’s director of the Office of Management and Budget, Peter Orszag, has indirectly confessed that there will be an “Independent Payment Advisory Board” which will act independently of Congress -- each day-to-day decision made by the Board will have...
  • Another 'modest proposal'

    This is the column in the school newspaper sent the principal into a panic ... running around and confiscating uncirculated copies of the column. Another 'modest proposal' by Justin Jones Published on: 10/23/07 For a millennium, the world has been plagued with stupid people corrupting society and bastardizing the value of life for all of mankind. The intellectually handicapped have been reproducing at a substantially greater rate than those with a fully functional brain. The problem of the unintelligent reproducing is, and has been, a serious threat to society that has gone unchecked for far too long. It is the...
  • Baby Body Parts For Sale

    In April of 1997, Life Dynamics began an undercover investigation that eventually exposed the hidden industry that markets body parts harvested from babies killed by elective abortions. (Most of the information we gathered was provided by people working inside of a Planned Parenthood abortion clinic located in Overland Park, Kansas.) The Marketing of Aborted Babies is a thorough report on that investigation and contains data, analyses and documentation not previously released to the public. This book contains exact copies of baby body parts orders and price lists. These documents were not altered in any way other than to assign them...
