Speaking Tuesday before the Homeland Security Subcommittee of the United States House of Representatives Committee on Appropriations regarding the implementation of REAL ID mandates on travelers, Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem displayed succinctly in one sentence her disdain for the right of Americans to travel freely and her support instead for an authoritarian approach to travel.

In a Friday message to board members of the Libertarian National Committee that oversees the United States Libertarian Party, party Chairman Steven Nekhaila wrote that “This board may very well be the last one standing between the Libertarian National Committee and full collapse.”
The Republican-majority United States House of Representatives demonstrated this week, through votes on several relatively modest bills, that it will just keep demanding more US government spending and control. Republican representatives often claim to support limited government and frugality, but mostly they, and their Democratic Party colleagues, keep acting as government-loving spendthrifts.
Supporters of liberty had much reason for hope due to Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. becoming secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). This man’s tenacity and eloquence in challenging the coronavirus crackdowns suggested great potential accomplishments for both liberty and health at HHS with him in the lead.

Marco Rubio’s Free Speech Hypocrisy
In an editorial last week, United States Secretary of State Marco Rubio was touting his effort to ensure the US government respects free speech. But, Rubio is also a leader in the ongoing US government program that deports people from America because they have exercised free speech in criticizing actions of the Israel government or support by the US government for those actions.
During the coronavirus scare, bureaucrats in the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) relentlessly claimed “the science” demanded that people stay isolated at home as much as possible, wear masks, keep at least six feet away from everyone else, refrain from obtaining early treatment, take shot after shot of experimental coronavirus “vaccines,” et cetera. Media and politicians largely echoed these sketchy demands.
Admirably, some people tried to educate Americans about how much of this United States government supported coronavirus propaganda was wrong. Among the most prominent of these critics was Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.
The first Donald Trump administration ushered in an American coronavirus crackdown that included among its putrid components “warp speed” production and distribution of experimental coronavirus “vaccine” shots, Those shots, though repeatedly touted by people in government and media as “safe and effective,” turned out to be both dangerous and ineffective. Now, Trump’s second administration appears to be taking another go-around with the dastardly project, with experimental mRNA shots again playing a major role. This time the excuse is bird flu.

The Dud Flu Shots
“Getting vaccinated every year is the best way to lower your chances of getting the flu.” That is the declaration of the United States Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) at its website’s page dedicated to immunization for flu. The problem is that actual medical investigation instead indicates the shots are a dud when it comes to protecting people from flu.

MAGA: Make Appliances Great Again
In January, I wrote about President Donald Trump on his first day in office signing an executive order that appeared designed to help implement his express desire to roll back many of the United States government restrictions imposed over the last few decades that have limited Americans’ choices for products used in their homes. Three months later, it looks like the Trump administration is following through in a significant way toward accomplishing this objective.
Since his first term, we have grown used to President Donald Trump badgering governments of fellow NATO countries to increase their “defense” spending to five percent of their respective GDPs. Quote marks are used in the preceding sentence because such spending by these governments, or the US, will largely be used for offense, feeding the military-industrial complex, and other purposes far removed from defense.
