My high school senior year (Class of 1989) history teacher asked us what we thought was the single largest problem facing the United States. I said the federal government’s debt.

Some time back, I was listening to The Wilkow Majority show on Sirius XM,** Andrew Wilkow coined a very interesting term, or so I thought. That term was, Zero Liability Voter.
January 6th wasn’t proof of conspiracy; it was proof of decay. When the gears of the machine rust, even obvious danger can roll right past unnoticed. The alarms were ringing. We just stopped listening.
Let’s cut to the chase: money is a collective hallucination. It’s paper (or pixels) we pretend is worth something because—well, everyone else does.

Let’s clear something up right out of the gate: Washington, D.C. is not a swamp. Swamps are natural. Swamps have frogs, cattails, and gators that serve a purpose in God’s food chain. What we’ve got in D.C. is man-made. It stinks. It festers. It’s artificial. It’s not a swamp — it’s a sewer.
We are living in bizarre times unlike anything we have ever seen. It’s getting more intense, first by the year, then by the month, and now by the day. Violence is everywhere. Both Left and Right have dug in. The free world depends on a strong America while the Left continually chips away at it.
The American Library Association is inflaming a nothing burger. You want to read a “banned” book, nothing is stopping you.
Obamacare’s short term goal was to slice payments in half for Medicare doctors, discouraging younger doctors from becoming Medicare doctors. The long term goal was as an interim step toward full socialized medicine completely controlled by the federal government.

Only in Washington could you find this logic persuasive: spend billions of taxpayer dollars to regulate beer, cigarettes, and deer rifles. Congratulations—you’ve just described the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, or as the cool kids call it, the BATFE.
