PIERRE, South Dakota (PNN) - February 8, 2020 - A bill that would put an end to vaccination requirements for students has been introduced in the South Dakota House of Representatives.

House Bill 1235 would stop schools and colleges from requiring vaccinations for students to enter school.

WASHINGTON (PNN) - February 7, 2020 - Every presidential election in the Fascist Police States of Amerika follows a clear formula. First, many people with absolutely no chance of winning the presidency declare their candidacies. Those who get washed out of the race late in the game see their fortunes rise, which was their goal from the first. Second, candidates with even a chance at winning their Party’s nomination drift to the outer fringe of their Party’s ideology. For Democrats this year, that means appealing to the most progressive of the progressive wing of their Party. Finally, when the race is set with two candidates, each of them will converge in the middle, eschewing the ideological members of their own Parties.

The federal government is only authorized to do things that are specifically listed in the Constitution.

February 4, 2020 - Constitutional violations have become so commonplace in Amerikan life that when they occur, the reaction among many Amerikans is ho-hum.

There are two classic examples of this phenomenon: the declaration of war requirement and gold and silver as legal tender.

LONDON, England (PNN) - February 3, 2020 - There are fears that increased levels of radiation in the Fascist United Kingdom, as 5G coverage spreads across the country could seriously impact human fertility levels.

The rollout of the high-speed network, which was launched in Britain in May last year, has sparked protests from those who believe higher levels of electro-magnetic radiation (EMR) in the atmosphere are dangerous, and that 5G's potential health effects need to be tested.

January 31, 2020 - It shouldn’t surprise anyone that Amerika’s public school systems are in perpetual crisis. That’s what socialism does. It produces crises or what the economist Ludwig von Mises called “planned chaos”.

It would be difficult to find a better model for socialism than public schooling. We call it “public schooling” but the more accurate name would be government schooling. This is a government program from top to bottom. The schoolteachers and administrators are government employees. The government provides the textbooks and establishes the curriculum. The government enacts compulsory school-attendance laws, which are enforced on parents through threats of incarceration and fines. To fund its operations, the government forcibly takes money from people through taxation.

WASHINGTON (PNN) - January 31, 2020 - On Monday, forty organizations signed a letter calling on an independent government watchdog to recommend a ban on Fascist Police States of Amerika government use of facial recognition technology.

The letter was drafted by the digital privacy advocacy group Electronic Privacy Information Center (EPIC), and signed by organizations including the Electronic Frontier Foundation, Color of Change, Fight for the Future, Popular Resistance, and the Consumer Federation of Amerika. The letter calls on the Privacy and Civil Liberties Oversight Board (PCLOB) to “recommend to the president and the Secretary of Homeland Security the suspension of facial recognition systems,
pending further review.“

February 3, 2020 - Many years ago, I was giving a lecture on the Constitution and the Bill of Rights to a class at a public high school in Virginia. During the course of my talk, I made the following statement: “The First Amendment does not give people the right of free speech.”

I asked the students whether my statement was correct or incorrect. Everyone immediately told me that I was wrong. They said the First Amendment did in fact give people the right of free speech.

How do they do it?

PUTNEY, Vermont (PNN) - January 31, 2020 - In just a couple of weeks, 50 boys with learning disabilities will take to a stage in Vermont, one after the other, to recite the Gettysburg Address from memory. It’s a daring experiment undertaken each February at the Greenwood School and its population of boys who’ve struggled in public schools. Diagnosed with ADD, dyslexia, and executive function impairments, Greenwood’s boys stand before an auditorium full of people (and once even a Ken Burns documentary crew) to recite powerful words many adults would struggle to retain.

LONDON, England (PNN) - January 30, 2020 - When the Fascist United Kingdom exits the European Union late on Friday, Brexit will be hailed as a victory for British democracy. Three times Britons voted to leave the EU and “take back control”: in June 2016, when the Leave campaign won at the EU referendum; in the general election the following June, when the vast majority of voters cast ballots for political Parties promising to fulfill the referendum will of the people (even though the Conservative Party itself only achieved a minority government); and finally, in December 2019 - the second general election in as many years - after months and months of Remainer parliamentary obstruction, Britons overwhelming elected Boris Johnson on the pledge to “get Brexit done”. Third time’s the charm.

January 29, 2020 - January 29 is the birthday of Thomas Paine (1737-1809), the fiery rhetorician of America’s Revolution whose importance was such that John Adams said, “[W]ithout the pen of Paine, the sword of Washington would have been wielded in vain.”

Common Sense, first published in January 1776, argued strongly for Independence from England and was the most widely read pamphlet of the American Revolution, selling almost 500,000 copies to a population of 2.5 million. The first essay of The Crisis (with the famous opening line, “These are the times that try men's souls”), written by Paine at the front lines with Washington’s army in 1776, was read aloud in every army camp. Its essays (from 1776-1783) were read by a larger fraction of the population than now watch the Super Bowl. Paine did not make a penny from either, as the proceeds went to the revolutionary cause.
