CDC: Due to a 'Coding Error,' We Massively Over-Counted COVID Deaths Among Children
"We'll get to the CDC changes in a moment. 

First, we are just beginning to quantify the ongoing damage done by COVID, as well as the harm inflicted by related lockdowns and restrictions. 

• Children and students were particularly hard-hit by the latter phenomenon, as they were overwhelmingly safe from severe outcomes from Coronavirus infections – yet had their learning, development and overall wellbeing aggressively stunted by terrible government policies in many parts of the country. 
• We also know that drug overdoses surged overall, and youth suicide attempts increased, during this stressful period featuring a great deal of social isolation. 
•  Another contributing factor to the "excess deaths" phenomenon (the biggest of which was COVID itself) was deaths linked to alcohol abuse...Read all!

The Inmates Are Running Venezuela's Prisons.---Reason Magazine
"The documentary La Causa is a raw look into the self-organized societies — complete with taxes, courts, and a strict "thug code" — within Venezuela’s prisons. 

It also shines a light on the decline of Venezuelan society and the human rights abuses perpetrated under Chávez and Maduro as their socialist revolution backpedals further from its promise to empower the downtrodden."...Watch all. (from 2020, worse today. The "promises" of socialism!)

We Can't Fund COVID Treatments for the Uninsured Because We Spent Trillions of COVID Aid on Wasteful Garbage

• Congress used the COVID-19 pandemic as an excuse to throw money around in ways that would be comedic if the results weren't so tragic.
  

"Since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic two years ago, Congress has authorized $884 billion in aid for state and local governments, $62 billion for colleges and universities, and $869 billion in direct payments to Americans, including to individuals who earned as much as $90,000 annually and never lost their income due to the pandemic.
And now, it turns out, there's no money left to actually help those suffering from COVID-19 who can't afford to pay for treatments...Read all.

Big Government and Big Corruption | International Liberty"
"When the Center for Freedom and Prosperity released this video back in 2009, we wanted people to understand the link between big government and big corruption.

Simply stated, unethical people are naturally drawn to politics and unethical interest groups naturally seek to obtain unearned wealth (a process known as “rent seeking“).

• This is true for tax policy.
• And I mean very true for tax policy.
• This is true for trade policy.
• This is true for bailout policy.
• This is true for regulatory policy.
• This is true for spending policy.
• This is true for health policy.
• This is true for business policy.
• And it’s true for environment policy.

The obvious takeaway is that making government bigger is going to mean that these unsavory groups will have even greater ability to engage in corruption...Read all.

MSNBC Op-ed: If You Exercise, You're a Neo-Nazi
"The Left has a Nazi fetish.

• They have an unhealthy obsession with Adolf Hitler. 
• Maybe it’s because they all secretly want to be him? 
• After all, he built death camps, put people he hated into them, and systemically murdered them. 
• It’s what liberals want to do with anyone with whom they disagree, so roughly half the country.
• Everything they hate is rooted in racism, sexism, misogyny, or Nazism. 

It’s the same old game, but it’s not reaching levels of mockery that we really haven’t approached yet. 

I have never seen an op-ed that argues that working out and exercising is akin to Nazism.
