Lenin’s Socialism Rewired by Today’s Democrats’ Socialism

There is a maddening repetition in civilization. The national rise-and-fall pattern is the common thread. Mankind never learns; never studies; never accepts reality.

A nation’s “rise and fall” is not Rome’s exclusivity.

How does this happen? Why are citizens complacent regarding their nation’s existence?

Michigan Adds Another Felony Because You Used an iPhone

I learned something while sitting on a Michigan jury that sent me down one hell of a rabbit hole: Michigan can separately criminalize using a computer to commit a crime. In 2026, when your phone, truck, watch, bank, doorbell and possibly your toaster are computers, that starts sounding suspiciously like an enhancement for breathing oxygen while committing a crime.

But when the government wants to reconstruct where ordinary citizens have been, Americans should remember two beautiful words our Founders would appreciate: Flock you.
