A reader on Facebook, Michael Lurie, pointed out this latest “it seems like satire but it’s real” demonstration of the totalitarian madness that is sweeping our nation with its war on people, places, stuff, and ….. basketball nets. This onslaught of tyranny and control freakism is not confined only to the Feds, or even the [...]

This story is heartbreaking and maddening, and mostly, it demonstrates – with a great deal of clarity – the power of the social services-police state-medical establishment posse, and how this powerful web of totalitarian machinations can take over your family life and children at will. This Detroit mother was all the news last week as [...]

We can add another item to the list of everyday, victimless, peaceful activities that shall soon become a crime: distracted walking.

This story has been slightly under the radar. The Department of No Education is buying shotguns for its police force. According to documentation, the Department of Education’s office of Inspector General ordered for delivery – probably this week sometime – 27 Remington 870 12-gauge shotguns with 14 inch barrels for officials in just two offices.

Remember former Homeland Insecurity Slickster Michael Chertoff? Remember after the Christmas Day bombing when he kept calling for the purchase of the invasive, totalitarian full-body scanners for all airports? When Chertoff left the Bush administration, he started his own “consulting company” (what ex-government agent hasn’t done that?), and Rapiscan, the company that makes the scanners, [...]
