Show Notes for September 29, 2021

September 29, 2021

Isn't it interesting how, during the past year and a half, we've all been trained to classify people by profession, stigmatize the sick and now to demonize the noncompliant? Jeffrey A. Tucker says the purges have begun and a new kind of medical puritanism is taking shape.

It's astonishing how hard the political class is pushing to consolidate its power over the people. It's bad enough when these power-seekers and opportunists are trying to dominate foreign countries. As Mike Maharrey warns, Washington D.C.'s power over the states is looking more imperial by the day.
