A friendly Reminder

When should a minor’s wishes supersede their parent’s? Should the courts be deciding when and if the parents of a minor child are notified of their attempts to receive an abortion? The case of Doe v Chapman deals primarily with the actions of one of the employees of the court, there is plenty of discussion of the fundamental question of parental rights vs children's. When should a parent be denied the right to know about medical procedures performed on their children? Most of

If the mission of the FDA is to protect the public health by ensuring the safety and effectiveness of drugs and medical products, has it done a good job? With all shortcuts and criminal violations the FDA took with the COVID “vaccines”, it is the first time they’ve done this, right? Will the lawsuit filed by the Alliance for Hippocratic Medicine finally expose the criminal enterprise known as the Food and Drug Administration? With its failure to properly test the so-called CO

Only a few days ago a 28-year-old woman identified by police as Audrey Hale entered a Nashville, Tennessee Presbyterian school, where she herself was once a student, and shot and killed six people including three 9-year-olds and three adults. This incident, of course, ignited the familiar cycle of condolences, recriminations and blame shifting, including a few screechy choruses from the gun-control choir who seem ever ready to exploit human suffering and tragedy as an opportu

What is the role of militia in the United States? Why is the militia so important to freedom and liberty in America? Is the current militia structure constitutional? Someone reached out on the website with an interesting question. They wanted my take on the Militia Acts of 1792 & 1903 and the National Defense Act of 1916. Specifically, he wanted to know about the constitutionality of the militia system within the United States, so I took a look. What I found was interesting,

What does it take to live free in America? You probably think you’re free, but are you truly in control of your own choice? Do you allow others to define you with labels or boxes? You’ve probably noticed, I frequently use this quote from our first Chief Justice, John Jay; Every member of the State ought diligently to read and to study the constitution of his country, and teach the rising generation to be free. By knowing their rights, they will sooner perceive when they are v

What is the proper response to government actions that violate the Constitution of the United States? Do the states have the legal authority to reign in their creation in Washington, D.C.? If the legislation currently submitted in Tennessee were to be replicated in the rest of the union, what would America look like? I talk quite a bit about the limitations of the federal government and the need for the states to reassert their power to control their creation. Consider the nu

When does legislation become a Bill of Rights? A bill in the North Carolina legislature claims to create a Parents’ Bill of Rights. But does it? Are there dangers in calling legislation a Bill of Rights? I’m loath to use the term “Bill of Rights” lightly, for two very good reasons. First, the overuse of any term tends to diminish its value. Second, just because something claims to be a “Bill of Rights” doesn’t mean it actually is one. The bill may be very good, but that doesn

During my four-year term on the Anne Arundel County Council I voted against the adoption of the proposed county budget in each of those years.  On each of these occasions the vote was 6 to 1 against me.  I was severely criticized by the leftist, local press and by public school advocates for my refusal to support their relentless demands for more funding.  In 2018, my final year on the Council, the public schools in my county devoured more than 2/3 of the $1.5 billion budget.

What is a sovereign citizen and what is the sovereign citizen movement? Is the United States a corporation? If you become a “sovereign citizen”, what happens to your U.S citizenship? Over the past few weeks, I’ve been asked several questions about the “Sovereign Citizen Movement”. What is a “sovereign citizen” or a “national citizen”? What do those in the “Sovereign Citizen Movement” believe, what is their belief based on, and does the evidence support their assumptions? What

What is the difference between Excess Proceeds and simple Municipal Theft? Can a town foreclose on a property worth multiple times the debt owed and simply keep the proceeds? How many constitutionally protected rights does such “excess proceeds” actually violate? We’re all familiar with the fact that our property is taxed. And if you don’t pay your taxes, it’s going to cost you, but how far can a city, town, or any government agency go to collect your taxes? In 2014, after se

How many federal departments and agencies are constitutional and how many are not? How much of the President’s cabinet does not legally exist? What are the consequences of such a large part of the Executive Branch being constitutionally invalid? A couple of weeks ago someone claiming to be my “#1 Fan”, at least that’s the name they used, asked an interesting question. “Any chance you could make a YouTube video going through each major executive federal agency or department an

Drew Adams is girl who thinks she’s a boy and wants to use the boys’ bathroom, in violation of both reason and school policy. Nease High School has made accommodations for the few students who are confused about their biology, but that is not good enough for Ms. Adams. Adams claims the school is violating both the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment, and Title IX. However, it is she who is attempting to violate both. We’re always told to live and let live, but
