NEW YORK (PNN) - December 10, 2022 - Gun rights advocates warned that a new change to the credit card industry to add a firearm and ammunition-specific Merchant Category Code (MCC) for gun stores wasn't about tracking guns necessarily, but could lead to the denial
of lawful firearms purchases by law-abiding citizens.

December 9, 2022 - In online interviews and conversations I’m hearing intellectuals in the national conservative movement say that the liberal Enlightenment “project” has mostly failed because people need more in their lives than freedom. I’ve also heard this from a few people who have lately become disillusioned with Leftism but yet are uneasy about libertarianism.

December 13, 2022 - Imagine a large, dark, windowless room filled with hundreds of people. Then imagine that one person lights a small candle, bringing a ray of light to that dark room. That person uses his candle to light someone else’s candle, bringing a bit more light to the room. Each person with a lit candle then lights someone else’s candle. Before long, the darkness in that room has been extinguished.

“Which is better — to be ruled by one tyrant three thousand miles away or by three thousand tyrants one mile away? — Rev. Mather Blyes (1706-1788)

December 12, 2022 - Does it really matter if the instrument curtailing liberty is a monarch or a popularly elected legislature? This conundrum, along with the witty version of it put to a Boston crowd in 1775 by the little-known colonial-era preacher with the famous uncle - Cotton Mather - addresses the age-old question of whether liberty can long survive in
a democracy.

RICHMOND, Virginia (PNN) - December 6, 2022 - Governor Glenn Youngkin (Virg.) on Tuesday signed an executive order ending COVID-19 fines and penalties in Virginia.

RASILIA, Brazil (PNN) - December 5, 2022 - The pro-Bolsonaro Brazilian military has taken out top leaders of the Red Command drug cartel which had heavily supported Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva in the recent fraudulent election.

Analysts say this is the first step in a federal military intervention of the country over a disputed election seeking to install Silva as Brazil’s president after a pro-Silva court refused to allow the military to audit the election results as required by law.

August 13, 2022 - If you know the story of The Emperor's New Clothes, by Hans Christian Andersen, you understand the meaning of propaganda; a mass campaign of deception meant to cause people to act in certain ways.

As the story goes, the people were afraid to speak the truth despite an obvious fact because they were led to believe the truth was less important than the perception of a lie. The propaganda campaign in the story convinced the townspeople that if they dared to point out the truth of the naked Emperor, they were stupid and incompetent fools.

WASHINGTON (PNN) - December 5, 2022 - On Tuesday, a District of Columbia jury convicted Stewart Rhodes and Kelly Meggs of seditious conspiracy in relation to the January 6, 2021 riot at the Fascist Police States of Amerika Capitol building. Three other defendants were acquitted of seditious conspiracy but convicted of other felonies. Convictions of seditious conspiracy represent a political victory - not just a legal one - for those who have long
insisted that the January 6 incident was no mere riot, but an organized armed rebellion of some sort. This claim has been key in the illegitimate pretender Joe Biden regime’s ongoing vague claim that “democracy” - however defined - is somehow “at risk.”

TORONTO, Ontario, Canada (PNN) - December 3, 2022 - Alberta, Manitoba, New Brunswick, and other Canadian provinces are refusing to take part in implementing fascist Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s unlawful gun grab.

AMSTERDAM, Netherlands (PNN) - November 29, 2022 - Seventy-one percent of the earth’s atmosphere is made up of nitrogen, but we’re told that too much of it can be very, very bad. So, the Nitrogen Minister of the Netherlands (yes, that’s a real job), Christianne van der Wal, is spearheading a government effort to drastically reduce nitrogen emitted by too much greenery - especially on very productive farms - and especially close to “environmentally sensitive” areas.
