“The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

You could make a plausible argument that the National Rifle Association (NRA) was responsible for Donald Trump winning the election in 2016. They spent over $50 million on the 2016 election, of which over $31 million was for Trump, with the most important part being ads in swing states in the final weeks before election […]

The virus is real but the measures we’re taking make no sense—unless you’re a government bully trying to consolidate power. Science is asking questions and accepting the answers.
