Have we lost our minds?

Have we?

Much of what has transpired in the last few weeks borders on absurd. We have: the Delta variant of COVID that is locking people's minds up, a government who spent countless lives, hours, and treasure on an Afghanistan government only to see it topple like a game of dominoes, conspiracy theorists saying Trump is part of Armageddon, and I'm sure I'm missing a few things.

COVID is real. The Delta variant is real. Our reaction to it? Have we lost our minds? Mandatory vaccines? Really? Is anyone looking at the real data instead of the talking heads?

Afghanistan was a mess from the beginning. Hey, Russia went broke fighting in that land. In my opinion, we never should have occupied it at all; so let's just leave it all for the bad guys oh and in the process leave Americans vulnerable in the region. Really? Have we lost our minds?

Trump. Y'all. Trump is not our savior. There's only one savior and His name is Christ. Please stop with the prophecy. Have we lost our minds?

Is anyone else feeling this way? I hope it is not just me.

Libertarianism

Murray Rothbard, attributed to the Ludwig von Mises Institute. Libertarianism is a political philosophy that emphasizes individual liberty as its key principle. It advocates for a minimal state presence in the lives of individuals, arguing that people should be free to live as they choose, provided they do not infringe on the rights of others.

Harris and Trump

Politics, oh the joy! Harris and Trump. Republicans and Democrats. Left and right. Freedom and...freedom. Well, that's what they say. To listen to our major parties rhetoric, each one is right and each one is wrong. The truth of the matter is that both are, uh, both? Both have presidential qualities and both have proposed policies that are, honestly, good and bad. Trump is an overgrown child. An intelligent and successful overgrown child but a child nonetheless. One could argue wither his success is through bully tactics or business acumen, but he is successful. He is childish in his mannerisms and his speech, as far as public appearance can be perceived. It is interesting that his child-like public persona has been somewhat scaled down this election cycle. It is possible that his campaign finally understands that middle-of-the-road voters have no desire to have the leader of the free world sound like a middle school bully in recess trying to take someone's lunch mone...
