On Jury Nullification
Ben Swann just launched a project to promote the concept of “jury nullification” called JUST US. That’s fantastic. I wholeheartedly agree with the promotion of this very important tool for liberty and justice. However, in his video announcing the project, he wanted to be clear that jury nullification should not be used to acquit violators…
Am I a Radical Extremist?
I don’t think you can be any further away from a position than by advocating for it’s opposite. The status quo of general opinion and the positions I take are, plainly put, antithetical. Yes, I think I do qualify for the label of “radical extremist.”
Never Call the Cops!
A rebellious teenager has a fight with his father and takes his pickup truck for a drive without permission. The father calls the cops. The cops hunt down the son and shot him dead. Unfortunately, this is not a plot outline for a TV movie, but an actual situation that occurred this week in Iowa.…

Nobody asked but … I couldn’t agree with you more, Skyler, in your blog “On Bullycide.” And the ultimate example of bullying is presented by the state. Bullying is in the nature of the state.

Withdraw Your Consent From the State
Editor’s Pick. Written by Michael S. Rozeff. Withdrawing consent to the state means more than this innocuous phrase may suggest. To withdraw consent is far-reaching. It means a divorce from the state insofar as this is possible. It means having no loyalty to the state, seeing the state as fundamentally unfair and a source of…
