Now that we can talk to our friends and neighbors about it, the reality is sinking in. What our public-health experts and politicians did to this country was egregious. Inspired by the totalitarian lockdowns in Wuhan, China, and urged to replicate that policy by the...

Sorry Seems to Be the Hardest Word
by Jeffrey A. Tucker | Oct 25, 2022 | Featured Articles
It’s been more than obvious since April 2020 that lockdowns were far too costly for individuals and society and could never earn a rational public-health defense. And the evidence was rolling in from one year later that the vaccine mandates were similarly...
Jared Kushner and the Mystery of the First US Lockdown
by Jeffrey A. Tucker | Aug 24, 2022 | Featured Articles
[Kushner: On March 11, 2020, Vice President Mike Pence asked for my help with the COVID response. I called my friend Nat Turner (left) and Adam Boehler (far right), successful healthcare entrepreneurs who helped me procure lifesaving supplies and equipment from around...
How To Tame a Bureaucracy? Get Rid of It
by Jeffrey A. Tucker | Aug 19, 2022 | Featured Articles
Any serious effort to end the crisis must deal with the problem of the administrative state and the bureaucratic power thereof. Without that focus, no reform effort can get anywhere. That is surely a main takeaway from the trauma of our times. The solution has to be...
A Deeper Dive Into the CDC Reversal
by Jeffrey A. Tucker | Aug 15, 2022 | Featured Articles
It was a good but bizarre day when the CDC finally reversed itself fundamentally on its messaging for two-and-a-half years. The source is the MMWR report of August 11, 2022. The title alone shows just how deeply the about-face was buried: Summary of Guidance for...
Dr. Birx Praises Herself While Revealing Ignorance, Treachery, and Deceit
by Jeffrey A. Tucker | Jul 18, 2022 | Featured Articles
The December 2020 resignation of Dr. Deborah Birx, White House Coronavirus Response Coordinator under Trump, revealed predictable hypocrisy. Like so many other government officials around the world, she was caught violating her own stay-at-home order. Therefore she...
The Economic Meltdown Has Roots in Lockdown
by Jeffrey A. Tucker | Jun 14, 2022 | Featured Articles
American’s capacity for denial is truly a thing to behold. For at least 27 months, it should have been obvious that we were headed for a grave crisis. Not only that: the crisis was already here in March 2020. For weird reasons, some people, many people, imagined that...
The Origin and Operation of the US Administrative State
by Jeffrey A. Tucker | Jun 13, 2022 | Featured Articles
On July 2, 1881, only four months into the first term of President James A. Garfield, an angry attorney from Illinois named Charles J. Guiteau shot Garfield in the torso at a Baltimore, Maryland, train station. Guiteau had a motive. He was furious because he believed,...
Must We Make a Case Against Dictatorship?
by Jeffrey A. Tucker | Apr 26, 2022 | Featured Articles
Some federal officials have made startling statements in recent days. Given the times in which we live, we can no longer take for granted that they won’t be convincing. Ever since lockdowns, which shattered all our social and political rituals and assumptions about...
The Unmasking of America
by Jeffrey A. Tucker | Apr 19, 2022 | Featured Articles
The polls on coercive Covid responses were never entirely trustworthy, not even from the beginnings of lockdowns. This happens when everyone knows what they are supposed to believe and say. The polled don’t really trust the voice on the other end. After weeks of...
Forget About Covid, They Say
by Jeffrey A. Tucker | Mar 10, 2022 | Featured Articles
Earlier this year, a phrase was trending because Bari Weiss used it on a talk show: “I’m done with Covid.” Many people cheered simply because the subject has been the source of vast oppression for billions of people for two years. There are two ways to be over...
They Are Still Defending Lockdowns
by Jeffrey A. Tucker | Feb 14, 2022 | Featured Articles
Fifteen years ago, writers schooled in computer science began to imagine various totalitarian schemes for pandemic control. Experienced public health officials in 2006 warned that this would lead to disaster. Donald Henderson, for example, went through the whole list...
Now is the Time for Mass Resignations from Within the Ruling Class
by Jeffrey A. Tucker | Jan 31, 2022 | Featured Articles
If there is a historical precedent for the truckers’ revolt in Canada, and the populist protests in so many other parts of the world, I would like to know what it is. It surely sets the record for convoy size, and it is historic for Canada. But there is much more...
Justin Trudeau Ducks the Great Trucker Revolt
by Jeffrey A. Tucker | Jan 28, 2022 | Featured Articles
The resistance reveals itself always in unexpected ways. As I type, thousands of truckers (numbers are in flux and are in dispute) are part of a 50-mile-long convoy in Canada, headed to the capital city of Ottawa in protest against an egregious vaccine mandate imposed...
Why Is the Human Being Not Like a Machine?
by Jeffrey A. Tucker | Jan 11, 2022 | Featured Articles
In defense of regulatory mandates during oral arguments, the following words were spoken by Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor: “Why is a human being not like a machine if it’s spewing a virus?” For her, it is a simple matter: regulatory impositions rule the...
They Said They Would Slow the Spread
by Jeffrey A. Tucker | Jan 5, 2022 | Featured Articles
It’s been the most astonishing two weeks for American public life, with so many prescient changes, from new censorships, admissions, backtracks, experts speaking out, public outrage, and what strikes me as a progressive unraveling of every orthodoxy imposed nearly two...
The Zoom Class Gets Covid
by Jeffrey A. Tucker | Dec 29, 2021 | Featured Articles
For nearly two years, we’ve wondered how this will end. In retrospect, the clue is in how it began. The initial lockdowns had a strong class-based component. The working classes were assigned the job of delivering groceries, tending to the sick, driving the trucks...
Fauci’s War on Science: The Smoking Gun
by Jeffrey A. Tucker | Dec 20, 2021 | Featured Articles
Those weeks following the release of the Great Barrington Declaration did feel odd. On the good side, medical doctors, scientists, public health workers, and citizens all over the world were thrilled that three top scholars in fields of public health and epidemiology...
Elon Musk, Person of the Year, Radicalized by Lockdowns
by Jeffrey A. Tucker | Dec 15, 2021 | Featured Articles
It’s a good call for Time Magazine: it made Elon Musk the person of the year. It’s actually even a remarkable call, and a great omen. Musk is arguably the most prominent opponent of lockdowns and vaccine mandates in the US. In his official interview, he refused to...
Who Will Be Held Responsible for this Devastation?
by Jeffrey A. Tucker | Dec 10, 2021 | Featured Articles
If the pandemic policy response had taken the form of mere advice, we would not be in the midst of this social, economic, cultural, political disaster. What caused the wreckage was the application of political force that was baked into the pandemic response this time...
