From pre-K to university, the primary purpose of government schooling is to normalize the state and its mechanisms to the point where we see it as being as necessary as food or water.

As long as government runs education, it will continue to grow and impose itself further on us.
All of these debates over CRT, trans kids in sports, etc. are easily resolved by just letting parents choose what and how their kids are taught, instead of being robbed to pay for one-size-fits-all schooling.

But then, they can't condition kids to accept being subjugated.
The current government narrative on schooling is "you shouldn't have a say in what and how your kids are being taught."

Soon it will be "they're really our kids more than they are yours."

As with everything else, it will continue to get worse until we stop going along with it.
There are many excellent teachers in government schools. Their job is made difficult by the system imposed on them.

So let's create a robust market of alternative schools to hire them.

Getting kids out of government schools leads to getting good teachers out of them too.

NEW YORK!

I will be touring NY for 10 days fun, freedom and working with liberty advocates from Syracuse to Staten Island, Bergen to the Bronx, and many places in between, for real libertarian change.

In my "BazookaJew" photoshoot from last weekend, I took great pains to make sure that I was never pointing the "bazooka" (AT4) at anyone, and that no one was behind the "unsafe zone" in the back of it.

Despite the fact that it's a single-use weapon that had been fired long ago.
Trigger discipline needs to be ingrained obsessively into your head, or you shouldn't be holding a firearm. Period.

Yes this is in response to Alec Baldwin, but it's not specific to him. Folks need to stop treating guns like props. If you can't help yourself, get another hobby.
1. Treat every gun as though it is always loaded.

2. Never point a gun at anything you don't want to destroy.

3. Keep your finger off the damn trigger until you're ready to shoot.

4. Be sure of your target and what lies beyond it.

Follow these rules or stay away from guns.

.@NatalieBruno is running for Governor of Oklahoma. I couldn't be more proud to endorse her.

Her top priorities:

- Ensure OK never has a lockdown or health mandate under her watch
- End the war on drugs in OK
- End jail/prison overcrowding by freeing victimless crime convicts
- Get government out of education and put choices and money back in the hands of parents
- End taxes on all healthcare services

And that's just to start.

Natalie believes no one makes choices for you as well as you can. That's why she will get state government out of your way.
Want to help Natalie set OK free? Here are 3 things you can do right now:

1. Follow @NatalieBruno.

2. Go to Natalie's website and donate or become a volunteer at ElectNatalieBruno.com.

3. RT to help spread Natalie's message of freedom.

YOU are the Power.

Pretend you are reading this in 2019 and tell me what you think about governments giving a pharmaceutical company this much power.

msn.com/en-us/news/wor…
"In contracts reached with Brazil, Chile, Colombia and the Dominican Republic, those states forfeited 'immunity against precautionary seizure of any of [their] assets.'"

Pfizer is forcing countries to allow public assets to be held as collateral.
Some of their contracts ban government from announcing "the existence, subject matter or terms of [the] Agreement", or commenting on its relationship with Pfizer without the prior written consent of the company.

You're not even allowed to know the contract exists.

Another successful #MassNonCompliance rally with @lpwa!

Dozens of people came to downtown Richland to wave signs and rally for hours. Hundreds of drivers and pedestrians showed their support, and some local media showed up to cover it as well.
LPWA Chair Anna Johnson spoke to the crowd at the rally. It was hard to get a picture to show just how many people were there because we spread out to cover as much of the sidewalk as possible.
I spoke to the rally as well, apparently leading the gentleman behind me to testify.

Today's events in Seattle were awesome!

I spoke to the crowd about the need to fight for freedom and against mandates, whether you are in favor of getting vaccinated or not. We actually had people join and pick up signs from @lpwa to help as we spoke.
Then we led a march through downtown Seattle, where we got lots of honks and cheers of support, including from municipal bus drivers and even postal workers.
We wrapped things up with a mixer at Chapel Lounge. Just a great night had by all.

See you later today, Richland!
