“Throughout forty centuries of human experience, price controls at their best have always been a miserable failure. At their worst, they have led to famine and bloodshed – to defeat and to disaster.”

“Liberty is the possibility of doubting, the possibility of making a mistake, the possibility of searching and experimenting, the possibility of saying “No” to any authority — literary, artistic, philosophic, religious, social and even political.”
~ Ignazio Silone
It Would Not Be Too Far-Fetched to say religious Faith is no stronger than its followers’ belief and confidence in its tenets. When followers of a Feith believe strongly enough, no counter-belief will shake their confidence or commitment. When believers stand strong, counter-beliefs and believers will be welcome to state their case and take their chance. No ‘devil’ can breach a Faith free from fear.
“Freedom is independence of the compulsory will of another, and in so far as it tends to exist with the freedom of all according to a universal law, it is the one sole original inborn right belonging to every man in virtue of his humanity.”
~ Immanuel Kant
One Of “Our, the American People’s” schools, media report, has a Satanic Club put together to counter other religious activities. Not unexpectedly, there are some folk who demand said Satanic Club be disallowed. Satanic Club supporters are of a tit-for-tat mindset. Odds are Satanic Club will go on. Might not be a worst of ideas for they who oppose to pay club member no serious mind.
“The bad thing of war is, that it makes more evil people than it can take away.”
~ Immanuel Kant
“We, the American People” are faced with Pope and President (cleric and legislator) who, if we so allow, will see to it we are subject to abiding by their personal attitudes, values, and beliefs (PAVB) for no reason other than their claim of positional authority. Ironic at best. Cleric and legislators are supposed to set examples whereby people are enabled to live in freedom. Including freedom of mind.
“If you want irresponsible politicians to spend less, you must give them less to spend.”
~ Irwin Schiff
“Education” Has A Solitary Purpose – behavioral control. ‘T is true in all we do. Those of “Us, the American People” who are willing to let legislator and cleric define our Faith or regulate our political options will, in all likelihood, be asking, ‘May I?’ as a matter of course. Those of us inclined to be free to make our own mistakes, in contrast, will prompt authoritarians of all stripes to ask, ’May I?’
“If I have seen farther than others, it is because I was standing on the shoulders of giants.”
~ Isaac Newton
People Intending To Live In Liberty do not allow legislators – or other public officials within These United States of America, to prohibit or restrict private ownership of firearms and ammunition from any citizen of good repute and responsible standing. They hold fast their ability to ward off would-be tyranny.
“I regret to say that we of the FBI are powerless to act in cases of oral-genital intimacy, unless it has in some way obstructed interstate commerce.”

“Freedom is the most contagious virus known to man.”
~ Hubert H. Humphrey
“Son you are one of the smartest
people I know.”
Universal Basic Income (UBI), Depending on study referenced, is a good thing, a bad thing. Good or bad, “We, the American People” fund UBI by being consumers. Consumers pay for goods and services, and pay all taxes, directly or indirectly. Taxes fund UBI initiatives. UGI checks come from public coffers. Government, in essence, confiscates property (wealth), then redistributes some as UBI.
“There are incalculable resources in the human spirit, once it has been set free.”
~ Hubert H. Humphrey
UBI Works Only As Long As taxpayers are willing to pay for it. UBI proponents might as well argue all property ought be under government control, so people with less than they need/want get as much as they need/want from all property (wealth) under government control. Rub is, property (wealth) varies by how much consumers are willing to consume. Consuming for only absolute need would sap wealth.
“The right of citizens to bear arms is just one guarantee against arbitrary government, one more safeguard against the tyranny which now appears remote in America but which historically has proven to be always possible.”
~ Hubert H. Humphrey
There Can Be No Taxes Possible if people do not have incomes. Incomes are derived, directly or indirectly, form sales. As are investment returns on investments (ROI). One needs look no further than tax return documentation to see how investment ROI generates taxable income. No taxes are paid from anything but income, possible exceptions being taxes on a person’s home or other ‘real’ property.
“[I]t is true that [the provisions of the Bill of Rights] were designed to meet ancient evils. But they are the same kind of human evils that have emerged from century to century whenever excessive power is sought by the few at the expense of the many.”
~ Hugo Black
Push Come To Shove, UBI Is Funded from consumers. From taxes generated by consumers trading money for goods and/or services. UBI becomes unstainable if enough people decide to rely on only UBI as their source of funds for paying their bills. Like it or not, UBI is available to sone because others are taxed so government can write UBI checks. UBI amounts to neighbors keeping neighbors.
“Every government is run by liars and nothing they say should be believed.”
~ I.F. Stone
People Committed To Living In Liberty do not allow legislators – or other public officials within These United States of America, to overrule Commonwealth/State (10th Amendment) Sovereignty. They uphold their heritage of self-government and reject illegitimate federal intrusion.

“Never could an increase of comfort or security be a sufficient good to be bought at the price of liberty.”
~ Hillaire Belloc
It Was Bound To Strike a resonant chord with more than a few of “Us, the American People.” Some of us are asking how come other people who mimicked Hunter Biden’s untoward behavior haven’t been pardoned by President joe Biden. Might be there’s a quota on how many pardons an American president may serve up on a given day – or, term. Either way, a sense of privileged class permeates.
“No man survives when freedom fails
The best men rot in filthy jails
And those who cry ‘appease, appease’
Are hanged by those they tried to please.”
~ Hiram Mann
President Joe Biden Had Promised he would not pardon Hunter. He pardoned Hunter. “We, the American People” ought not be surprised. People break promises. Not everyone who breaks a promise involving criminal behavior taken to task in court gets to avoid court decision by presidential pardon power. Whether we, a sovereign citizenry, think Hunter pardon serious enough for us to act is unclear.
“Bureaucracy is a giant mechanism operated by pygmies.”
~ Honore de Balzac
“Our, the American People’s” legislative-judicial power brokers are, by events like Hunter Biden presidential pardon, not trustworthy. No easy fix, if there is a fix. We would have to get off our collective duffs, organize our numbers, and take matters like Hunter Biden in hand with enough ramification to force legislators, including chief executives, to clean up their credibility acts vigorously.
“While boasting of our noble deeds we’re careful to conceal the ugly fact that by an iniquitous money system we have nationalized a system of oppression which, though more refined, is not less cruel than the old system of chattel slavery.”
~ Horace Greeley
Our Proclivity For Proactive Sovereign citizenry is next to nil, election participation withstanding. Election participation, in long run, does little more than replace untrustworthy people with untrustworthy people. No election can take away presidential pardons. No election can undo bad behavior by legislator or cleric – essentially, by any public official. We do it or it will not be done.
“When a self-governing people confer upon their government the power to take from some and give to others, the process will not stop until the last bone of the last taxpayer is picked bare.”
~ Howard Kershner
People Expecting To Live In Liberty do not allow legislators – or other public officials within These United States of America, to offer amnesty to illegal aliens until those illegal aliens agree to become and become United States citizens. They use their citizen sovereignty to protect their lives, their property, and their future.

“Every collectivist revolution rides in on a Trojan horse of ’emergency’.”
~ Herbert Hoover
“We, the American People” who are ecstatic or dejected over President Joe Biden pardoning son Hunter could take stock on how America’s governmental authority system works. America’s presidents can, within lawful limits, wipe away people’s civil sins. Even those civil sins America’s justice system find repugnant and convict as so. Justice, thus, decided by arbitrary presidential clout.
“The ultimate result of shielding men from the effects of folly is to fill the world with fools.”
~ Herbert Spencer
Hunter Biden Presidential Pardon bestowed by President (Dad) Joe Biden stands as an example of how judicial objectivity is vulnerable to subjective lawful positional power (corruption). Hunter Biden was, “Our, the American People’s” media coverage not disinformation, misinformation, or fake news, convicted of criminal misbehavior. President Joe Biden pronounced court wrong, set verdict aside.
“All socialism involves slavery.”
~ Herbert Spencer
We Are Apt To Do Absolutely Nothing (other than to express our notions) about Huner Biden pardon a miscarriage of justice, depending entirely on one’s point of view. President Joe Biden claimed Hunter had been prosecuted by political opponents. Court said Hunter was guilty, based on weight of evidence. President Joe correct, court was biased, evidence was contrived, therefore justice was miscarried.
“A man’s liberties are none the less aggressed upon because those who coerce him do so in the belief that he will be benefited.”
~ Herbert Spencer
There Is Nothing To Stop America’s Presidents from pardoning any convicted criminal they please other than “Us, the American People.” If we are prepared to let power of America’s presidency pronounce judgement on America’s judicial system, then we stand to have they who visit injustice on any of us to be freed from consequence of their behavior. Rule of law wiped away by presidential say.
“The censor believes that he can hold back the mighty traffic of life with a tin whistle and a raised right hand. For after all, it is life with which he quarrels.”
~ Heywood Broun
People Demanding To Live In Liberty do not allow legislators – or other public officials within These United States of America, to enact legislation or regulations without majority approval of voters. They uphold Americans’ self-governing heritage.
