“I am one of the millions of Americans who live with chronic pain — it burns, shoots, and sears through my body every single day. I have spent decades trying nearly every treatment modern medicine offers, but one of the few options that has worked for me — and millions of other Americans — has been hemp products. They are non-intoxicating, rigorously tested, and they enable me to function. They help me walk, sleep, show up for my family and lead an organization. Simply live. But now, because of a secretive, backroom deal, Congress is taking them away for no apparent reason. … The bill to reopen the government caps intoxicating THC content in any hemp product at 0.4 milligrams per container — an arbitrary limit that will most likely end the hemp industry. This provision won’t just eliminate hemp products — it will eliminate hope for millions.” (11/22/25)

“In the never-ending slapstick of the American empire, few characters commit harder to the bit than Senator Lindsey Graham. For decades, the South Carolina warhawk has sold you the surveillance state like it was freedom’s best friend, a little ‘necessary sacrifice’ so Daddy Government can keep you safe. Now that the same machinery has scraped his phone records, he’s shrieking about tyranny, separation of powers, and Watergate-level scandal, clutching the Constitution like a prop he just found backstage. What changed? Nothing about the system. Only the target.” (11/21/25)

“‘Tyranny can now enter our country.’ Benjamin Rush dropped that warning in 1778 at the height of the War for Independence. But he wasn’t talking about Redcoats. Recognizing the nature of power and humanity, he was giving us a timeless warning about ‘ourselves’ and our own ‘great men.’ The Founders knew the score. History is littered with power-hungry rulers who use deception. They stage false flags. They manufacture crises or exploit real ones. The worst of them pretend to love liberty just to destroy it. In the end, it all leads to tyranny, and the greatest threat is from within.” (11/21/25)
