Pennsylvania has blocked the state's attempt to shut down Amos Miller's Farm.
Amos Miller, an Amish farmer in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, had his farm raided by the Department of Agriculture earlier this year, seizing thousands of dollars' worth of food.
Yet, despite the raid, the government couldn't provide a single piece of evidence showing that anyone in Pennsylvania—or anywhere else—has ever been harmed by any of Amos Miller's products.
This is a powerful win for food freedom and the rights of farmers.
This is so disappointing that Goodwill
would not let go of one pair of donated
shoes for a homeless woman when asked by a police officer.
We have donated many goods to
Goodwill over the years, and may have
to re think who we donate to.

🚨THIS IS INSANE!!!
A daughter drove HUNDREDS of miles to check on her sick 75-year-old father... only to find the locks changed and a Ring camera on his door.
When she climbed through a window to reach her own dad, SHE got arrested for trespassing.
Then she was told, THROUGH THE DOORBELL, that he was no longer alive and that the NURSE who "took care of him" actually now OWNED HER DAD'S HOUSE.
This happened in Conway, South Carolina, and it will make your blood boil.
Her name is Nora Rowland.
Her dad was Robert Rowland, 75 years old and a vulnerable man living with Parkinson's and a brain injury.
Nora and her father were incredibly close. A "daddy's girl," she said. They FaceTimed every single week.
Then, in early 2024, a nurse named Sarah Smalls started caring for Robert through a home care company.
And that's when Nora says her dad started to disappear.
The weekly calls slowed. Then stopped. Something was wrong.
So on Father's Day, when she didn't hear from him, she got in her car and drove from Baltimore all the way to South Carolina to check on the man she loved.
When she got there, his front door had been replaced. A Ring camera was watching her. She couldn't get into her own father's home.
So she climbed through a window. And police arrested her and her partner for TRESPASSING... at her own dad's house.
And then, over that Ring doorbell, she was told her father had died.
Nora says that in the weeks before her father died, that nurse had the DEED to his house signed over to herself.
...and the family wasn't told until he was already gone.
To be clear... man with Parkinson's and a BRAIN INJURY, who was classified as a vulnerable adult was allowed to SIGN HIS HOME AWAY.
In Nora's own words: "He would never think that someone could do this to him. I really can't emphasize enough how many other people could easily get taken advantage of like this."
Her trespassing charges were dismissed, s now she's fighting in court to get her father's house back.
The nurse refused to comment. The care company claimed they knew nothing, but Nora says she has subpoenaed documents proving otherwise.
Police are still investigating.
Governor Shapiro's unseemly rush to Lancaster County to convene a national press conference and his giddy delight in announcing two measles deaths was a morose commentary on the contemporary political dialogue. The performance was a replay of the Democrats' COVID playbook: fearmongering, misinformation, finger-pointing, and the weaponization of infectious disease fears for political gain.
The announcement appears to have been premature, and the deaths may even have been altogether fabricated by one of the Governor's hopeful staffers. The Lancaster County Coroner says that it has no record of any measles deaths. State law requires that all measles deaths be reported to the coroner.
Governor Shapiro shattered tradition and violated standard public health policy by refusing to share information with the County Health Department or CDC.
Since I have been in office, CDC has had a superb record of cooperation, information sharing, and professionalism with blue- and red-state governors and health officials. Those collaborations have resulted in effective control of the global measles outbreak in this country.
Governor Shapiro got his headlines. He correctly gambled that the slavish mainstream media would dutifully amplify his scolding without any effort to check his facts.
We now know 1 of the individuals who died in Lancaster PA was a newborn
Yet Josh Shapiro’s team called them ‘unvaccinated’
The baby died in childbirth of a ruptured spleen
Shapiro is reprehensible
I’m going to make a bold prediction:
If Governor Shapiro & the democrats ever control all 3 branches of the Commonwealth,
they will introduce legislation to mandate vaccinations (even for the Amish).
Shapiro’s pals on the Supreme Court will rule in favor of the legislation.
The goal isn’t the health & well-being of Pennsylvanians — it will be for the purpose of trying to force the Amish out of PA.
The same way New York is forcing the Amish out of its state.
Bookmark this.
The Amish have made it clear. They do not co-parent with the government.
They would rather leave NY than surrender their right to make medical decisions for themselves and their families.
We stand with the Amish!
NEW - Lancaster County Commissioner Josh Parsons: “I spoke at length this morning with the coroner himself, and they have zero cases of measles deaths … They had one patient who died with measles, not of measles.”
NEVER FORGET: once your culture is gone, it's gone forever.
Government education has (deliberately) failed to teach the Great Books of the West for decades.
So, we started an independent group to study the Western canon together. We're reading the books that form the mind and shape the spirit. The books our ancestors read.
Western Civilization has given us the greatest works ever known, but it takes effort and an open mind to read them. Homer, Plato, Aristotle, Augustine, Dante, Shakespeare, and Milton are not just names in a syllabus, but guides to a deeper and more ordered life.
Join our reading group to study the great works in dialogue with others. We read a new classic every 4-6 weeks, and meet biweekly to discuss.
We are just starting The Brothers Karamazov, the greatest psychological novel ever written. You do NOT want to miss this.
Take out a paid subscription if you'd like to support us and join the discussions directly — it makes a huge difference to the time and resources we can dedicate.
You'll get:
- Live book club discussions (biweekly)
- Access to our incredible community chat
- Essays to guide you through the Great Books
- All past recordings, essays, and podcasts
- Ability to vote on what we read next
