Following is an excerpt from my book, Status Schmo, describing how men react to getting kicked in the balls. It was describing how the protagonist was suffering from a long list of transgressions by government. A prominent media host posted an article to give others the sense of pain he had to endure as a result.-----------Every man knows what it’s like to get a full kick to the groin, and many women who’ve witnessed it, are usually able to sympathize, at least a little. It’s the only … [Read more...] about Kick in the Balls
Fisk me, please?
This article is not an argument about the validity of taking precautions for COVID-19. It is solely about who is responsible for the mandatory shutdowns, social distancing requirements, and other protections mandated by government officials.

Not because I believe the concept of jury trials is wrong, but because of how it was administered. I … [Read more...] about My Experience on Jury Duty as a Libertarian
Cannabis: A Case For Individual Liberty
NOTE: This is a guest post by my friend and fellow Kentuckian, Brian Lauer.A wise man once said that once liberty is lost, it is lost forever. The time has come for every man, woman and child that still believes in liberty to fight for the liberty they desire. That is the cost of our freedom and I intend to pay whatever price is necessary for my children to have their freedom. I hope that sentiment is shared by everyone here. There once was a dream that was our great republic and that … [Read more...] about Cannabis: A Case For Individual Liberty
