Freedom In The 50 States

Cato Institute publishes a freedom index for all 50 states based on various personal, economic and governmental factors. Not surprising, every top ten state is either red or purple, and every bottom 15 state except one is blue, Democrat, leftist. This is why there is currently mass migration.

Tired of Those Leftist Virtue Signaling Lawn Signs?

You know, the black background with their little rainbow colored text like “black lives matter”, “love is love” and “science is real”? By the way, those last two statements have no meaning. Well, if you are looking for some comebacks, here is my lawn sign:

All lives matter

Babies’ lives matter

Aborted black babies’ lives matter

Babies’ rights are human rights

Women’s rights do not include the right to kill

Water isn’t “life”, it is necessary for life

Freedom and liberty are life

The Constitution is the greatest document ever produced by a government

Capitalism is by far the best economic system ever developed

Leftism (socialism) is tyranny and servitude

“Science is real” is meaningless gibberish

Science is the constant testing and challenging of a hypothesis or theory – THAT is science

Walls and fences make good neighbors

A country cannot exist without a border

A person in a country illegally is committing a crime – this may not make them “illegal” but it sure makes them a criminal

“Love is love” is meaningless gibberish

Homosexuality is a sin and is counter to nature…. you know, “science”

Transgenderism was defined as mental illness until about 15 minutes ago – the definition still holds for most cases

Democrats Fail Economics

Two separate articles. In the first one several California cities enacted “hero pay” rules for “front line” workers in such places as grocery stores during the Wuhan Flu epidemic, giving these workers $4 to $5 more per hour, effectively increasing the already excessive minimum wage in the state. You see, thanks to California’s generous labor laws workers were already making $18 to $24 an hour. Anyone who knows the first thing about the grocery business know it operates on razor-thin margins. The result of this state sanctioned pay boost? A number of large grocery chains, including Kroger closed multiple stores and let go of workers. Hundreds of workers lost their jobs overnight. The kicker? This only applies to the big retailers. That makes sense.

In the second article it is pointed out that there is a nasty little rider attached to the government’s just passed “Covid relief bill” that prohibits states from cutting taxes. What does this have to do with Covid relief? So bad is the situation in Democrat states and so bad is leftist economics that they actually have to try to punish well-run conservative states. I suspect this will be challenged in court and struck down. It is a gross violation of Federalism.

The Great Reset Conspiracy

I don’t buy into a grand globalist conspiracy to basically enslave the masses and take over the world….it is too hard to carry out. I do however believe that there are plenty of powerful, influential globalists (Soros, Gates, Pelosi, the Clintons, the Pope) who would love to see it happen and they are using Covid globally and domestic unrest locally to promote their agenda.

Don’t kid yourself, Tuesday’s US election is a battle of freedom versus tyranny, capitalism versus communism, prosperity versus misery, peace versus chaos, law versus anarchy and good versus evil. Vote Trump and straight Republican
