Broken civilizations get rebuilt at the local community level as families, businesses, churches and small civil governments begin to learn what those local institutions can be. That is happening right now in the US, primarily in rural counties.

We explore real-life reformation here in this informed, online community.

If Big Pharma Made Airplanes...

If Pharma made airplanes there would be airplane crashes every single day and Pharma would blame the people who never fly.

Sudden Aviation Death Syndrome (SADS) would be the label used to describe those killed in the daily airplane crashes which would always be considered a coincidence.

The CDC would strongly recommend that all children fly 90 times before their 18th birthday and blue states would require proof of said flights to attend school; even if you have been in a previous crash there would be no exemptions to the mandated 90 flights.

Anderson Cooper would vilify anyone who took fewer than five flights a year.

The National Transportation Safety Board would assure us that planes have always crashed every day — it was just better awareness that made people think things had gotten worse — while doing absolutely nothing to improve airline safety.

Academics would conduct elaborate studies on “overcoming airplane crash hesitancy.”

The mainstream media would feature endless commercials for medications to treat burns and lost limbs from airplane crashes, complete with singing and dancing spokespeople who are always smiling.

Pharma would make record earnings every year because more crashes mean they need to make more planes!

Wall Street would applaud their visionary business model.

(Nota bene for anyone who thinks that this analogy is facetious: 300 children now develop autism in the United States every day, which is more than the seating capacity of the average domestic airplane flight.)

Is The SAVE Act Constitutional?

Yes, says Constitutional attorney Robert Barnes.

The SAVE Act was approved in the House and President Donald Trump is pushing the Senate to vote now and pass the controversial voter ID bill aimed at keeping non-citizens from registering to vote.

Article I, Section 3 of the Constitution provides for Congress to regulate Congressional elections, providing that the times, places and manner for holding state rules governing such elections to federal legislative office “may at any time by law” be altered by Congress.

Article IV, Section 2 provides that citizens of each state must be entitled all the privileges and immunities of citizens in the several states, while Article IV, Section 4 requires the federal government to "guarantee to every state” a “republican form of government.”

Amendment XIV recognizes “the right to vote” for “citizens of the United States,” with Section 5 giving Congress the power to enforce.

Amendment XV recognizes the “right of citizens of the United ...

How Much Is America Willing to Invest in This War?

We're not being asked by the administration. How many young men will have to die? How many young men are we willing to sacrifice?

How much debt will our surviving children need to cover in years to come? Forbes is keeping track of those fiscal numbers. Within days of the assaults on Iran, the costs were staggering: $300 million for three F-15E jets downed by “friendly” fire. $630 million to transport troops, ships and aircraft to the region in advance of the attacks. More than 50,000 troops deployed to the region. $13 million a day just for two aircraft carriers stationed nearby. $43.8 million for 1,250 Kamikaze drones. $2 million each for Tomahawk missiles. $12.8 million each for anti-ballistic missile interceptors.

Forbes estimates that Trump’s military strikes in Iran have already cost American taxpayers over $1 billion, “with a price tag that could approach $100 billion, depending on how long it can stretch on.” The total economic cost of the conflict “could ...
