The Campaign to Restore #Federalism seeks to advance a sustainable political process based on maximum #freedom, decentralization, and systemic checks on power.
The ones worried about separating families of illegals getting deported didn’t have a problem separating your family members during COVID.
Never forget that.
The Lockdowns Were Not What They Told You
The emerging private admissions on lockdown rationale deserve to be stated clearly.
The publicly stated purpose of the lockdowns was to reduce transmission and protect healthcare capacity.
That was the rationale given to billions of people whose lives, livelihoods, businesses, and relationships were restructured around it.
The rationale now being privately acknowledged is different.
Lockdowns preserved population susceptibility. They kept the pool of uninfected people large enough, and they suppressed early treatment pathways effectively enough, that the emergency conditions required for the injection authorization remained legally intact.
Emergency use authorization requires no adequate approved alternative.
The lockdowns helped ensure there was no adequate approved alternative.
If this is accurate, and the private admissions suggest it is, then the largest coordinated restriction of human liberty in the modern era was not primarily a public health measure.
It was a market condition.
Imagine being forced to give someone 6.2% of your paycheck, every single check, every month, for 30 to 50 years of your life.
And that person said, "Don't worry, I'm holding this for you and will pay it back to you on a monthly basis, when you retire at 65."
And then they said, "Nah, just kidding. I meant when you retire at 67. And at that time, I'll only give you 70% of what you paid me."
And then they said, "Oops, I spent all your money. You're out of luck."
That's the U.S. government.
The double standard.
The truth is that photo ID to get into Obama's library is needed to get in free on Tuesdays (wait for it... to prove Illinois residency). Yep, just like with the Save Act - participation requires ID.
Nice that Obama believes that for voting, requiring voter ID "disenfranchises" black Americans, but requiring ID to prove residency to enter his library does not...
@browt1971@JonSnow50616798 The government’s COVID response was inherently unconstitutional - it was a failure of us all as citizens to believe in the constitution, not simply one man’s corruption.
@baseballcrank@NoahCRothman@NRO As you write, “… because the threat comes from the left, there is no urgency in confronting it.”
We stereotype the Left as physically weak and easily countered, but asymmetric warfare can still result in mass casualties before the response wipes them out.
@Rainmaker1973 I completely and entirely embrace the owner’s right to do with his property as he sees fit, but understanding that the trust benefits, political causes that work against humanity ensures that I will never buy from Patagonia again.
