Powerful, Influential People Read This Blog (5/27/19) — Let Laws Expire
The agencies serve the people and were created by the people’s elected representatives. They are the people’s instruments, not their masters. Their preferences and conveniences are not to be understood as the controlling concerns.

Heroes!
It’s worth noting that in saving others’ lives, and in sometimes losing their own, these people just might have saved your life too — by being a big reason for why a potential gunman decides not to go on a rampage in the first place.
Jussie Smollett Did The Real Lynching
Will Smollett go to jail for his disgusting racist crime? Or will Chicago law enforcement again bend over backward to try not to look racist or homophobic? The Left have already done what they can to say, “Well, it wasn’t right, what he did, but you can certainly understand it!” Nope. I can’t.

Capitalism is mostly about allowing systems and structures to develop and grow organically. In other words: free people using free choices to show other free people how much they value, or don’t, their products and services.
In Venezuela, one of the natural resource-richest countries… in the world, the people have no food or toilet paper. So, to make things better for them, their government guns them down in the streets. Why? Well, the people are quite naturally wondering why, with all the natural resources their country has… they have no toilet paper or food. When they express those concerns in public the government solves their petty complaints by adding a few grams of lead to their diet. Continue reading The Catastrophic Failure that is Socialism
