Yesterday, I met with my friend @JonathanCHowe to talk about his run for Congress.
Jonathan decided to run to represent NY14 when he saw government force COVID patients into nursing homes, lock his neighborhood in their homes, shut down local businesses, and cause immeasurable loss and suffering which continues to this day.
Now, he's seeing them forcing vaccine passports and tracking systems on the city, with more promised to come from the federal government.
As a Public Defender in Bronx County Family Court, Jonathan has seen the incredible pain and difficulty these policies cause every day.
Jonathan sees how afraid almost everyone is right now. Some fear COVID, some fear the mandates, some fear the increasing crime, and some fear that they won't have a roof over their head tonight, and some fear all of these and more.
And the whole time, he has seen his current Representative Alexandria Occasio-Cortez do little more than pander and deliver slogans while their community suffers.
Jonathan decided to run because NY14 deserves someone who will actually fight for them.
When he's elected, Jonathan's top priorities fall into 4 categories:
1. Personal Privacy and Bodily Autonomy
- End the federal vaccine mandate
- Abolish the NSA, DHS and any government agency that inhibits individual liberty
- Criminalize warrantless domestic surveillance
2. Criminal Justice Reform
- End the War on Drugs
- End Qualified Immunity
- Make “victimless crime” an oxymoron again
3. Economic Inequality
- End the Federal Reserve
- End all corporate subsidies
- Allow freedom of choice in currency
4. Environmental Justice:
- Stop protecting corporate & government polluters with federal regulations written by them
- Allow class action suits for environmental damage
- Clear the way for nuclear energy, the safest, cleanest, and most carbon-neutral form of reliable energy
Jonathan wants you to have a freer and happier life, better health, cleaner air and water, a safer community, and more economic opportunity, without fear of an out of control government, and with no corporate crony leeches living off of you.
I wholeheartedly endorse Jonathan, and hope you join me in supporting his campaign.
The reason Veterans Day is on November 11 is to coincide with Armistice Day, the day that World War I ended.
Because the best way to honor veterans is to let them live, and to stop using them as fodder.
We honor veterans by ending the wars, so that they can come home, where they belong.
We honor veterans by ending the VA and giving the money directly to them, and ending the torture of making them jump through hoops and beg for the care they were promised.
We honor veterans by acknowledging that nearly 10% of our prison population are veterans, ending the wars on drugs and guns that sent most of them there, and expunging their records (as well as every other victim of those wars) so they can reclaim their lives.
Last night, @Tomfor52 and I, along with volunteers for his campaign, walked through downtown Oneonta NY and talked with business owners, employees and patrons about Tom's vision for a freer, happier and more prosperous New York.
We ended the night with a great fundraiser at a local restaurant.
Every time I listen to Tom, I'm struck by how quickly he's able to connect with people, no matter their background. The reason why is obvious: he's not a politician.
He's an who assists disabled people in becoming self-reliant and independent.
He's a leader in the liberty movement who is helping to grow the party by leaps and bounds.
He's an everyday human being, trying to help his fellow man.
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.
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.
.@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:
