Progress. When individuals define it for themselves voluntarily, among others left to do the same, we can understand the word’s applicability. When it is defined by force by the state, it comes slouching and crouching and dragging its knuckles in a predatory fashion, destroying rights and our own views of what is “good.” The news that the Trump “Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms” (BATF…

For the past few days, the internet has been vibrating with dissatisfaction and disbelief after the legendary Canadian singer unleashed her new social justice oriented line of kids’ clothes, a line that not only pushes “genderless” children – from…

Some of you might agree that this new story makes one feel like Cassandra, the mythical figure who was doomed to warn people of impending trouble, merely to watch them disregard said warnings.     On Nov. 12, as part of our three-part series on the right to keep and bear arms, MRCTV published a written piece and video that mentioned the dangerous legacy of U.S. Supreme Court Justice…

On October 1, the world absorbed the news that President Trump had carried through on a campaign promise. He’d replaced “NAFTA” (1994's “North American Free Trade Agreement”) -- which had absolutely nothing to do with free trade – with a new “treaty” called the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement, or USMCA, for short. Many commentators, including special interest group protectionists and some…

Thanksgiving. It wasn’t what many government school teachers claim. It wasn’t established because the Pilgrims wanted to “thank” the natives for help. Sure, the Pilgrims ended up getting along with some of the natives, and got tips from them, but that wasn’t why they started Thanksgiving. In fact, it takes very little time to find out why the Pilgrims started the holiday. Governor William…

Here’s a breaking story to raise hackles -- or reinforce your ability to turn the other cheek and practice forgiveness. In the midst of all the wildfires in California, some residents are irate that private firefighters saved Kanye and Kim Kardashian West’s home from the Woolsey blaze. Seriously. Shortly after TMZ tweeted about the efforts on Nov. 12, myriad commenters responded with tweets…

The current crop of multitudinous infernos known as the California wildfires are taking many lives and wreaking havoc. In fact, this latest group of fires is reported to be the deadliest in state history. So one isn’t being flip or dismissive when one writes that it is easy to understand how some California residents might get upset when hearing President Trump criticize federal Bureau of Land…

For 35 years, generations of parents in the Washington, D.C. area have been dropping off their toddlers for play-dates at a local gathering spot. The parents like it, and the little ones enjoy it…so, is it any surprise that the government wants to shut it down? Like a fungus, the spores of government nanny-statism are encroaching into every facet of the people's lives, and the D.C. City…

Imagine you’re in a park with a friend. He doesn’t have lunch, but you’ve got two sandwiches, so you hand him one. Charity at its most basic. Person helping person. He might even reciprocate later by giving you something if you’re lacking, like, say, a pair of tickets to see The Damned in concert -- ‘cause, everybody knows that’s a great way to return a favor. Now imagine you’re in Kansas City…

In this series, we strip away the flimsy veneer of contemporary political rhetoric, and offer long-standing principles, facts, and syllogisms to let you carry something with you. Thus far, we have explored the upper layer of the “gun control” issue, that being the rhetoric and supposed “practical” arguments offered as so-called justification to infringe on the individual right to keep and…
