The descendants of Presidents James Buchanan, Andrew Johnson, and Jimmy Carter can relax. Their families will no longer be associated with a United States President deemed to be the worst in American history.

The current occupant of the White House, President Joe Biden, has seized this title after only eighteen months in office. His administration has failed without exception, from their handling of the economy to their disastrous military withdrawal from Afghanistan.

" Every time a treatment was discovered that improved COVID-19 patients’ outcomes or prevented transmission of the virus, forces stepped in to prevent the treatment from being used,” wrote Rhoda Wilson in a June 22 piece published in the Daily Expose.

“A growing number of natural treatments that could have prevented the spread of this virus, including most of the serious infections, have been blocked by these controllers. Incredibly, a law was passed that prevented clinical physicians from even suggesting such treatments.”

"Don’t Tell Me I Can’t" by Kevin Cooper (aka Cole Summers) deserves a place in the alternative education canon.

In fact, we cheered and celebrated what, in retrospect, was the death of the family unit. In fact, it concerns me deeply that we have been inadvertent masters of our own demise. And, more importantly, the demise of our civilization.

There are basically two systems of law in the world, the common law and civil law.

The common law arose in England following the Norman Conquest of England in 1066. It was so known because it was “common" to the King's courts and was based upon the precedence of previous judicial decisions, known as the Latin doctrine of“stare decisis"(to stand by that which is decided).

Over three years ago, the great Barry Humphries was punished for speaking his mind. The “ Barry Award “, given to the outstanding comedian of the year at the Melbourne Comedy Festival, was given a name change. It is now known as the Melbourne International Comedy Festival Award.
