A More Tyrannical King publishes TOMORROW! "In order to successfully fight the ideological war of the 2020s, it's critical to have easily-discussed, yet intellectually deep explanations of our current state. It's even more important to have simple, realistic solutions. A More Tyrannical King provides both and is a must-read for every engaged American--regardless of party--who wants to see the return of a Nation that works." --- Phil Bell Director of External Relations FreedomWorks Order your copy wherever you buy books or at: https://Books2Read.com/TyrannicalKing

A big win for the first amendment I'm Peter Serefine with another Liberty Minute. U.S. District Judge Terry Doughty of Louisiana granted a preliminary injunction in the case of State of Missouri v. Joseph R Biden Jr. brought by the attorneys general of Louisiana and Missouri. The injunction partially restrains the federal government from working with big tech companies to censor Americans’ speech on social media platforms. Judge Terry Doughty has decided that the lawsuit is likely to win and issued the preliminary injunction. Remember in July 2021 when Whitehouse Press Secretary Jen Psaki told the world that the administration was flagging content and informing social media companies? Well, anyone who has read the first amendment immediately realized that was unconstitutional. Two years later the courts are doing something. If we don't have free speech we are not free citizens. This will likely be the biggest win for the right to free speech in over 100 years. Now, where do I go to get my followers back after being canceled by YouTube and TikTok?

Let's talk Biden-conomy I'm Peter Serefine with another Liberty Minute. Resident Biden and his team are standing behind their economic record as Biden kicks off his re-election campaign. Let's talk about some numbers. $2.39 was the price of a gallon of regular gasoline on inauguration day, 2021. $3.56 was the average price yesterday. That is a $1.17 or 49% increase which costs the average driver an additional $525 per year. So, Biden-conomy is not good on gasoline. 2.65% was the rate for a 30-year mortgage when Biden took office. 7.51% is the 30-year fixed rate today. That is a 283% increase that costs home buyers and extra $528 per month on a $100,000 mortgage. Add those together and the Biden-conomy costs the average home buyer with a car an extra $6861 per year. Sure, unemployment is down, but Biden-flation is robbing all of us.

And so it begins. I'm Peter Serefine with another Liberty Minute. Representative Boebert’s resolution to impeach Resident Biden did not get the privileged status she was hoping for. Privilege status would have forced the House of Representative to vote on the resolution. Instead, the impeachment was sent to committee. Technically that means the investigation has begun, but many bills and resolutions never come out of committee and effectively die. I don't understand why any investigation is needed. Resident Biden stood at a podium and told us that all of his Constitutional advisors said the eviction moratorium during CoVid was unconstitutional but he was going to extend it anyway. Like me, Biden is bound by an oath to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States and he openly admitted on camera he was not going to do that. That alone should be enough to impeach any office holder at any level, regardless of party affiliation. If you own firearms, you need carry insurance.

Democrats want to regulate the SupremeCourt. I'm Peter Serefine with another Liberty Minute. So, Democrat lawmakers want to regulate the Supreme Court, a separate and equal branch of government. As a Constitutional originalist, I take issue with this concept as a whole. As a human being with a little common sense, I take issue with the particulars. The US Constitution gave Congress the authority to establish any necessary courts beneath the Supreme Court, but that is where Congressional authority ends regarding the courts. The Senate Judiciary Committee’s Subcommittee on the Federal Courts, Oversight, Agency Action, and Federal Rights, wants to mandate that justices be recused if they have any financial connection to a case. Hmm, using that same logic, no member of Congress should ever be allowed to vote on any bill they have a financial connection to, but if that happened then how would Congress maintain their ability to become millionaires at a rate over two times higher than the rest of the population? Congress, regulate yourselves effectively and then maybe we can talk about allowing you to assume power over the only branch of government that ever keeps you in check AT ALL.

A short speech to honor Flag Day

People are getting stupid, and now there is proof. I'm Peter Serefine with another Liberty Minute. This year’s spring edition of Intelligence Online reported on IQ tests of 18-60-year-olds. The online magazine has been doing this study for quite some time, and this year’s report was the first time the average IQ of Americans dropped. Usually, the average IQ went up 3-5 points every decade. This time it went down. Well, look at the age range, 18-60-year-olds. Anyone under 48 was educated entirely under the federal department of Education. Those who pre-date the Department of Education are aging out of the study. Do we really need any more evidence that government, especially the federal government, should not be involved in educating our young people? Instead of critical thinking young people are being taught sexuality. Logic and reason have become political correctness. History is now critical race theory. This is starting to look like the plot of the movie Idiocracy. If you own firearms, you need carry insurance.

Governor DeSantis is officially in the presidential race. I'm Peter Serefine with another Liberty Minute. DeSantis used to be a pretty cookie cutter Republican. Since the Wuhan flu pandemic, he seems to have leaned pretty hard into the MAGA / conservative camp. I don't know if he actually grew up to be a conservative or if he is just acting like one for political gain. Either way, I have a couple of suggestions for him: Embrace your youth. We The People are tired of octogenarian politicians. If you want to have any chance of winning the primaries, you need to win over a significant number of Trump supporters. One way might be to promise that when elected you'll pardon Trump and put an end to years of tax funded investigations. If you have become more conservative over time, admit that. Make a public statement about your beliefs when you were in the House and how they've changed. I'm not leaning towards any candidate, yet. I want all the candidates to put fight for the nomination.

My annual Memorial Day Speech was written by combining the suggested speeches of The American Legion and Disabled American Veterans. Please, feel free to use this speech however you see fit; play it before your family BBQ, play it at work, or share it anywhere and everywhere.

It Is primary season again. I'm Peter Serefine with another Liberty Minute. Tuesday was primary day in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, my home state. That really got me thinking about the entire primary process. Primaries are how the two main political parties, private organizations, decide who they will put on the ballot for the actual election. The direct primary election is unique to the United States. The current system has only been around since the 1970s, and somehow, it has become taxpayer funded. The 2016 primary elections cost taxpayers over $427 million. To make that idea even worse, not everyone is allowed to participate in the taxpayer funded selection process. 26 million registered voters can't vote in primaries because they are not registered to one of the two big parties and live in closed primary states. What's the solution? Make the parties pay for their own primaries or go back to caucuses. The parties pay for the process in every caucus state. If you believe in limited government and are fed up with the uni-party. Visit https://constitutionparty.com/ and break out of the two-party illusion.

Let's talk debt vs. deficit I'm Peter Serefine with another Liberty Minute. The National Debt is like your credit card balance. It is the amount of money owed if you pay it off right now. The National Debt Limit is like your credit limit. It is the maximum amount you are allowed to borrow. The 14th Amendment says that the Public Debt shall not be questioned. It does NOT say that increasing the debt can't be challenged or questioned. Every time we approach the debt limit, politicians on both sides say that we will default on our debt if we don't raise the limit. That is only true if government keeps spending on everything they want. Only two expenses are specifically authorized by the US Constitution, the Public Debt and National Defense. Constitutionally, everything else is optional. Pay the debt payment and the National Defense expenses and budget what is left; no debt increase is needed. Don't let politicians lie to you so they can keep spending your money with reckless abandon. Please visit the shop at Liberty-Lighthouse.com and pick up a bumper sticker or a t-shirt.

Are we headed to financial collapse?

Three stupid mistakes turn into shootings. I'm Peter Serefine with another Liberty Minute. In the span of six days there have been three shootings, one deadly, because of innocent mistakes. Two cheerleaders were shot in the parking lot of a Texas grocery store on Tuesday when they accidentally got into the wrong car. On Saturday, a group looking for a friend's house in New York pulled into the wrong driveway where one of the group was shot to death by the homeowner. Last Thursday, in Missouri, a teenager was shot when he went to the wrong house looking for his twin brothers. I own guns. I believe in the second amendment, but there is responsibly that goes with the right to bear arms. Get trained, and not just once. Continue training. It is trigger happy people like these that will cause us all to lose our right to keep and bear arms.

During 2019 & 2020 there were 34,000 gun related homicides, 94,000 committed suicide, and 161,000 died from drug overdose. What does our government focus on? More often than not, gun control. Three times as many people took their own life and five times as many people overdosed. Logic would dictate focus on the biggest killer first, then the second biggest killer, and so on. These numbers are proof that the government only cares about you and I when there is a partisan political battle to be fought. Why focus on mental health, stability, and illegal drugs when guns grab the biggest headlines? For that matter, why are guns the biggest headlines when five times as many people die from overdose and fentanyl poisoning? The media and our government are both more interested in sensational headlines than actually fixing any problem.

It was just revealed another dozen undercover police officers were in the crowd with the Proud Boys on January 6th, 2021. That brings the total to at least 50 undercover law enforcement that we know about. One admitted to chanting along with the crowd. Not surprisingly, his body cam footage has not been made available, his text messages were deleted, and his phone was destroyed. A video leaked and posted to Rumble almost three weeks ago shows three undercover officers helping protesters climb over barriers, shouting pro-Trump slogans, and directing the crowd to proceed up the northwest stairs to the Capitol. This is all starting to sound a lot like a classic entrapment scenario. It also looks like the 1,000 people that have already been prosecuted have grounds for mistrial lawsuits.

Just my thoughts about Budlight

Protests inside the Tennessee state capital yesterday raise questions. I'm Peter Serefine with another Liberty Minute. I carry a gun to protect those around me. I am a member of Right To Bear to protect my legal rights. Use code LIGHTHOUSE at ProtectWithBear.com for affordable carry insurance. Protesters swarmed the Tennessee state capital building yesterday as votes were being taken to expel three Democrat members of the state house. The vote to expel the three Democrats is because last week those three joined in another protest inside the capital. That protest disrupted the proceedings of the legislature. I'm not sure how to feel about this. Should elected officials be removed because they protested and disrupted the proceedings? One thing I definitely noticed is that nobody is reporting on the storming of this state capital as an insurrection. 1,000 people have been prosecuted for storming a capital building and disrupting an official proceeding on January 6th, 2021. How is this any different? Oh, because these protesters want gun control. Find more news and commentary at Liberty-Lighthouse.com Until next time, si vis Pacem, Para Bellum

Also yesterday, OPEC+ announced that beginning next month they will be cutting oil production by 1.15 million barrels per day. The announcement, let alone the production cut, are certain to cause gas prices to rise even higher. Remember that when gas prices go up so does the cost of everything else. Between inflation and gas prices, cost of living is out of control. For the sake of background, don't forget that on the day Resident Biden took office the national average gas price was $2.39 per gallon.

I'm Peter Serefine with another Liberty Minute. The shooting at a Nashville school on Monday fired up the political divide, as usual. The left immediately wants to blame guns and ban assault rifles. The right says we should have armed security in schools. I want to talk about Evelyn Dieckhaus. In fact, I want the name Evelyn Dieckhaus to be known by everyone in the United States. When the deranged psychopath starting shooting in the small Christian school, Nine-year-old Evelyn Dieckhaus lost her life because she ran to pull the fire alarm. Evelyn Dieckhaus showed more courage in that moment than most adults. A nine-year-old girl didn't run or hide. Her first thought was to summon help and save lives. The name Evelyn Dieckhaus and the story of her bravery is what we should all talk about, so please say her name and share her story.

Use code LIGHTHOUSE at ProtectWithBear.com for your carry insurance. 28% of the nation's land mass is owned by the federal government. Another 27% is owned by state governments. Almost 2% is owned by foreign powers. Add that all up and 57% of US land is not owned by citizens, and that doesn't account for what county and local governments own. Our federal government should only own military bases, post offices, and the 5 miles square District of Columbia defined in the Constitution. The small, landless, limited federal government our founders spelled out in the Constitution is dead.

Biden’s budget proposal is out. I'm Peter Serefine with this week's Liberty Minute brought to you by Liberty Lighthouse Wellness, my new made-in-America supplement line. Find them in the Shop at Liberty-Lighthouse.com President Biden’s budget suggests increasing the corporate tax rate from 21 percent to 28 percent, ensuring that “large corporations pay their fair share.” The administration estimates this would generate $1.326 trillion in revenue. Sure, increasing corporate tax might raise federal revenue. It also might cause corporations to fire employees to make up the difference. A 7% increase in corporate tax might also cause the cost of everything you buy to go up by 7%. After all, the inconvenient truth is that only consumers pay taxes. Biden is also attempting to roll back part of the Trump tax cuts. Remember that promise of no tax increases for anyone earning less than $400,000? We all knew that was a lie, but rolling back a cut is the same thing as an increase. Hopefully, the House of Representatives won't take the $6.8 trillion budget proposal seriously. Aww, crap. That means all of our hope lies in Kevin McCarthy's hands. Find more news and commentary at Liberty-Lighthouse.com Until next time, si vis Pacem, Para Bellum

Everything in America is taxed! I'm Peter Serefine with this week's Liberty Minute brought to you by Right To Bear Insurance. If you own a firearm, you need to use code LIGHTHOUSE at ProtectWithBear.com just in case you ever need to use your firearm. When I say everything is taxed, I mean absolutely everything. First, your income is taxed before you even see it. Then, almost everything you buy with your already taxed money is taxed again by sales tax. Make a profit buying and selling something, and you’ll pay capital gains tax. When you die, any money that you were lucky enough to save is taxed again through inheritance tax. Think you own your house? Think again. Try not paying your property tax and you’ll find out who really owns it. If it can be taken away, then you don’t really own it at all. Heck, in most states, you have to pay sales tax on a used car. Then pay gasoline tax to use it. Don’t forget about the hotel tax when you get where you’re going. Every time government at any level needs money they just raise a tax, or create a new one! If you are evil enough to buy a gun, alcohol, or tobacco…vice tax. There should be only one form of tax. I don’t care which one, just pick ONE! Find more news and commentary at Liberty-Lighthouse.com Until next time, si vis Pacem, Para Bellum
