At the risk of aging myself, I ve been using the Internet in one form or another since 1993. For all the negative things I could say about my dad, he was never a technophobe. Growing up, ours was pretty much always the first (and sometimes only) household among my friends and relatives to have whatever the latest new thing was. Now, granted, Internet access was not exactly brand new in 1993 (and indeed, my dad had been using BBSes for years before that) but I was definitely the only 8 year old I knew who used CompuServe. As the years went on and we moved from CompuServe to Prodigy to AOL and finally a local ISP, I was speeding down the information superhighway on my way to the World Wide Web circa 1995 or 1996. It was there that I learned at the tender age of 10 or 11 that everyone is a Nazi and liking or agreeing with anything makes you a Nazi too.

Freedom from lies
Once again, the liberals through Sleepy Joe are bringing more illegal Hispanics into this country to use them as voters. They do not care about helping the poor people of Mexico, or Central and South America. If they did, they would put pressure on the governments of these countries to change how they treat their people.
I have yet to see any action taken by the liberals to censure these governments who treat their people as they do. If the poor could get jobs in their home countries and had governments that helped educate these people, they would have no desire to leave their countries. But that would defeat the liberals’ plans.

But the question remains whether to introduce a single law to reform all the texts at once, or to approach them one by one.
Germany has already reformed several Nazi-era laws over the years, including the infamous Paragraph 175 that criminalized sex between men and was repealed in 1994.
More recently, a 1933 ban on medical practitioners “advertising” that they carry out pregnancy terminations was partially scrapped in 2019.
But some pertinent examples remain, including a law on altering names introduced by Nazi interior minister Wilhelm Frick in 1938.

A SPECIALIST solicitor who uses her prolific social media activity to regularly slag off Nicola Sturgeon, her party and the Scottish Government generally, has likened the SNP to the Nazis. Janet Hood, who runs a training and consultancy business from Brechin in Angus, claims to be one of Scotland’s top licensing solicitors with more than 30 years of experience in the field. Her Twitter activity includes regular retweets of material from Tory party figures and journalists, as well as tweets from would-be politicians, keen football fans and RT broadcaster George Galloway. Hood also appears to be a fan of Graham Grant, home affairs editor of the Daily Mail’s Scottish edition. He tweeted on Monday about what he called “A day of shame” for the SNP after Coatbridge, Chryston and Bellshill MP Steven Bonnar, was criticised for allegedly saying “nationalists were prepared to fight to the death for our country”.
Janet Yellen and husband Geroge Akerlof
Joe Biden s nominee for Treasury Secretary, Janet Yellen, is a typical over the top Keynesian in favor of mad money printing by the Federal Reserve but a bigger problem might be the influence of her husband, George Akerlof, on her thinking.
You can t get much more authoritarian in your thinking than Akerlof does.
John Tamny writes:
In Phishing for Phools, a 2015 book that George Akerlof co-authored with Robert Shiller, the authors wrote without even a hint of irony that people “do not do what is really good for them, they do not choose what they really want.” Please think about the previous bit of absurdity from the two economists. Maybe think a while.
