    Don’t Trust the Government. Not with Your Freedoms

    In questions of power then, let no more be heard of confidence in man, but bind him down from mischief by the chains of the Constitution. —Thomas Jefferson Public trust in the government to “do what is right” understandably remains at an all-time low.

  • Zoom or You Won’t See Me!

  • The Deep State’s Persecution of Its Most Vulnerable Citizens

    When the song of the angels is stilled, when the star in the sky is gone, when the kings and princes are home, when the shepherds are back with their flocks, the work of Christmas begins: to find the lost, to heal the broken, to feed the hungry, to release the prisoner, to rebuild the […]

  • Children in Police Watch Houses: A Nasty Queensland Experiment

    They really are a brutal lot.  While the Queensland Labor Government croons on matters regarding rights, liberties and, it should be said, the plight of the First Nations Peoples, its policy, notably on youth detention, is a contradictory abomination.  This situation finds itself repeated across the country, though the Sunshine State, as it is sometimes […]
