It’s been very obvious that Dr. Anthony Fauci has been authoritative in his approach. He has championed lockdowns, social distancing, masks, and a host of other things that have been shown to have little if any impact on the spread of COVID-19. This week he went full on authoritarian when he said But one of …
If you know my politics you will know that I am unapologetically a free speech advocate. Free speech is the basis for a free society. It is outward expression of reasoning and if speech is limited we can no longer reason on a sufficient level. I’ve spoken openly about my thoughts on big tech and …
Unless you have been living under a rock since yesterday you know that Elon Musk purchased just under 10% of Twitter. He is the single biggest stockholder of the company. He was also named to their board. For me this is fantastic news! Twitter is one of the biggest public forums we have and they …
Recently the MLB decided to move their all-star game from Georgia to Colorado stating that “Major League Baseball fundamentally supports voting rights for all Americans and opposes restrictions to the ballot box.” Leaving the actual substance of the bill and it’s lies that have been pushed by the media and the POTUS himself, I wanted …

Even more, I am very excited to see many professors I have taken classes from participate in the conference. Topics include the following: AGAINST THE POLITIZATION …
In a world of shifting values and relative moralism, it has been said that there are in reality, no limits to government. We are simply limited by what is convenient at the moment and what the people vote in. This of course is an erroneous concept that creates impartiality in the law and creates a …
One of my all-time favorite pieces of political writing is Martin Luther King’s letter from Birmingham jail. The truth in that letter is second only to the declaration of independence in my mind. In fact, they both espouse the same truths and virtues. They are both based on the concept of natural law. Natural law …
Claude-Frédéric Bastiat was a French economist and writer who lived in the 19th century. He wrote extensively on the philosophy of liberty. As I have been re-reading his book The Law four quotes have stood out to me. Bastiat passed away in 1850 but unfortunately the ideas he fought against still remain and in our …
