Private property rights and personal responsibility saved the Plymouth colony from the edge of extinction and laid the economic foundation for a free and prosperous nation. It is widely known that the early Pilgrims came to the New World to escape religious persecution. What is lesser known is that their spiritual adventure was also a commercial enterprise. Today’s self-identified democratic socialists like to claim real socialism has never been tried in America, but they need to brush up on their history. The Pilgrims did try it — and it failed. In the early 17th century, King James I chartered a...

San Jose’s Democrat Mayor Sam Liccardo has issued an apology after he failed to take his own advice and celebrated Thanksgiving with people outside of his immediate household, despite urging residents to “cancel the big gatherings” amid the coronavirus pandemic.

Since my last post on this subject, 15 days ago, we have had Thanksgiving. You are all well familiar with how our betters urged us to not get together with friends and family this year due to the dread virus ‘rona. I posted then that I looked forward to Freepers reporting on their discussions with friends and family over Thanksgiving and that I was hoping some of you could report good news, such as finding out that people you never thought would wake up are waking up. So, what about your Thanksgiving? Please post if you have something interesting to...

Public health officials are bracing for a new round of COVID-19 case spikes as many Americans traveled and held large family gatherings over the Thanksgiving holiday in defiance of mitigation guidance from the government, Dr. Anthony Fauci said Sunday.

I mean, Fauci again went on Good Morning America Wednesday to give one last piece of advice:Dr. Anthony Fauci speaks to our @GStephanopoulos about small gatherings ahead of Thanksgiving and a possible surge in coronavirus cases.“A sacrifice now could save lives and illness...

In what has become a highly fractured political climate, it’s perhaps hard to find someone who everyone likes, appreciates and didn’t seem to ever be on a political side, but seemed to be on the side of all Americans, attempting to enrich and uplift all with the simple joy of his show, Jeopardy. That of course was Alex Trebek, a man universally loved and appreciated for all the years he entertained America. Trebek died on November 8 after a long battle with pancreatic cancer, which he fought with dignity and grace. Trebek was 80. But even at 80, he seemed...
