    How COVID Lockdowns Handed Global Warming Extremists The Tools To Crush Freedom (The Federalist) But there’s a major problem: While it might have felt like a return to normalcy, it wasn’t.

  • A Coat of Paint

    Update: The Vic Bar Association has since released a press release confirming my opinion here. They point out that under this bill, individuals who are detained [are unable to] seek a merits review of their detention by an independent court. [All they have available to them is an ]Internal review by a person who is employed…

  • Who’s better?
