(Susan Neely) The start of the new year means new resolutions for millions of Americans. These include resolutions to lose weight, eat better, exercise more, and save money. In Philadelphia, local leaders set their own goals last January to curb obesity and raise revenue through a new tax on non-alcoholic beverages. But like so many New Year’s resolutions, the Philadelphia beverage tax fell short of the promises local officials made to consumers.

My Commentary: Whoa! Turns out that most Philadelphians are tax-evading criminals, who prefer to “steal” from the “public,” rather than pay their “fair share”! LOL!

Infectious Virus in Exhaled Breath of Symptomatic Seasonal Influenza Cases from a College Community:

My Commentary: Hmmm… A 630% increase in aerosol viral shedding among those vaccinated for flu, versus those not vaccinated? Seems like those individuals receiving the flu shot become vectors for the spreading of influenza…

“…we observed 6.3 (95% CI 1.9–21.5) times more aerosol shedding among cases with vaccination in the current and previous season compared with having no vaccination in those two seasons.”

As I scrolled through my Facebook news feed, I discovered the following captioned photo here, being shared by the page, “NORML Women’s Alliance,” and originally posted it to my own wall, along with commentary…

“Democrats picked Congressman Joe Kennedy III (D-MA) to respond to President Trump’s State of the Union address on Tuesday. He was one of only ten Democrats to vote against a 2015 amendment protecting medical cannabis patients and providers from federal prosecution. He also opposed measures on medical marijuana for veterans and CBD for kids with epilepsy, putting him way out of step with voters and his party.” (https://www.marijuanamoment.net/anti-cannabis-dem-giving-trump-sotu-response-newsletter-jan-29-2018/)

My Commentary: LOL! DemoCrackPots and RepubliConArtists are two wings of the same bird… Both use the violent apparatus of the State to initiate aggression against the peaceful. Both are full of smug, self-important control-freaks that support a continuation of the inherently-racist, freedom-crushing, prison-filling fraud, known as the “War on Drugs.”

(Thomas Phippen) Former Florida Democratic Rep. Corrine Brown reported to federal prison Monday to start her five year sentence for multiple crimes, including tax fraud and corruption.

Brown, 71, turned herself in to the Sumter Correctional Institution in Florida, one of the largest federal prisons in the country, which houses both violent and non-violent offenders. Brown will be serving her five-year sentence at a minimum-security satellite facility, which keeps roughly 391 other female inmates.

The Oldest Rhetorical Trick in the Book:
http://www.intellectualtakeout.org/blog/oldest-rhetorical-trick-book

(Donald J. Boudreaux) In his brilliant 1956 collection, Minority Report, H.L. Mencken stated:

If you were against the New Deal and its wholesale buying of pauper votes, then you were against Christian charity.  If you were against the gross injustices and dishonesties of the Wagner Labor Act, then you were against labor.  If you were against packing the Supreme Court, then you were in favor of letting Wall Street do it.  If you are against using Dr. Quack’s cancer salve, then you are in favor of letting Uncle Julius die.  If you are against Holy Church, or Christian Science, then you are against god.  It is an old, old argument.

My Commentary: The non sequitur fallacy is the Statist’s best friend.
