Missouri native and former U.S. presidential candidate, Austin Petersen, is stepping into a whole new realm with a major expansion of his growing media empire. After two years of success with his news and talk podcast, the Wake Up America Show, Petersen is now teaming up with Rumble and Locals to launch an ambitious new venture: the 4Liberty Network.

Introducing the 4Liberty Network: Liberty-Minded Media for All

Streaming live from the Missouri Times building’s newly revamped studio, the Wake Up America Show has hit the #1 spot in political talk streams on Elon Musk’s X platform multiple times recently. Now, with the debut of 4LibertyNetwork.com, Petersen is aiming even higher by bringing new voices to the forefront and delivering more of the liberty-centered content that audiences crave.

“After two successful years of growing the Wake Up America Show and 4LibertyShop.com, I’m excited to launch the 4Liberty Network,” says Petersen. “We’ve built a strong, healthy community, and now it’s time to bring new talents into the spotlight while delivering more of the liberty-centered content people are craving.”

Meet the Lineup: Fresh Faces, Fresh Voices

The 4Liberty Network will feature a dynamic lineup of shows, all with their own unique style and focus. Here’s what you can expect:

  • Culturama: Airing live on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 7-9 pm Central, Culturama is hosted by Daniella Pentsak—a charismatic, Marilyn Monroe-inspired personality with a master’s degree. This 1950s-themed retro show blends culture and politics with a libertarian twist, offering both style and substance. Get your dose of thought-provoking discussions at rumble.com/culturama.
  • Liberty Tonight: Thursdays from 9-11 pm Central, this Tonight Show-style program brings together hosts Brian Peotter and Jordan Marinovich (aka King Libertarian). Mixing fake celebrity interviews, news, and satire, Liberty Tonight is the fun and innovative commentary you didn’t know you needed. Expect a blend of humor and hard-hitting discussions at rumble.com/libertytonight.
  • The Wake Up America Show with Austin Petersen: Kicking off every weekday from 7-9 am Central, Petersen’s Wake Up America Show offers an upbeat, 1980s retro vibe with “silly shirts and serious interviews.” Always optimistic and passionate about America’s future, Petersen delivers zany yet brainy news talk to start your day right.

Powered by Liberty, Fueled by Community

The success of the 4Liberty Network is directly tied to the incredible support of its audience and the success of its e-commerce store, 4LibertyShop.com. The shop has a loyal following, bringing in thousands of customers who proudly sport patriotic merch and enjoy Founding Flavors coffee. Even Argentina’s President, Javier Milei, has recognized the store’s offerings!

“Our community doesn’t just support us with views—they’re buying the products that keep this vision alive and profitable,” says Petersen.

The Future of Free Speech, Now on Rumble & Locals

Partnering with Rumble and Locals, the 4Liberty Network is committed to free speech and uncensored content. Petersen emphasizes that, “We’re not just creating a media outlet; we’re building a long-term platform where our ideas can thrive.” With Rumble’s state-of-the-art studio software and the support of the crowd-funded Locals website, the 4Liberty Network will serve as a home base for its shows while extending their reach across multiple platforms.

Stay Tuned: The Liberty Revolution Is Just Getting Started

The Wake Up America Show launched in 2022 and has since transformed into a full-fledged media network, thanks to Petersen’s vision and passion. Now, with the 4Liberty Network in full swing, the goal is to showcase fresh talent, spark conversations, and grow a community where liberty thrives.

“Why couldn’t profound ideas be presented in a fun and enjoyable way?” This very question inspired Ken Schoolland to write “The Adventures of Jonathan Gullible”. With translations in 57 languages and worldwide readership, this captivating book narrates the journey of a young man shipwrecked on a mysterious island, where he embarks on a series of adventures and learns invaluable life lessons.

In recent years, social media has been flooded with reports of Gen Z shifting towards socialism and rebelling against the rich and capitalism. While they believe in some form of liberty, their means of achieving it are far from free-market ideas. Numerous pro-liberty organisations provide great educational programs but reach a limited impact.

Several thinkers have conveyed impactful messages through stories: Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand conceptualized her Objectivist philosophy, and 1984 and Animal Farm by George Orwell transmitted the atrocities of socialism. So the question arises: how can we convey free-market ideas in an engaging way?

Recognizing the immense power of storytelling, Liberty International has embarked on a mission to transform this beloved book into an animated series where the philosophy of individual liberty and free-market ideas emerge organically from the interactions in the story.

Whether you are a parent, educator, or liberty enthusiast, this series is set to become a powerful tool for introducing young audiences to vital ideas and principles. “The Adventures of Jonathan Gullible” addresses various crucial issues. It busts myths regarding labor-saving innovations, simplifies economic concepts like “the tragedy of the commons,” and highights government intervention through taxation, trade restrictions, and absurd laws.

To bring the book’s characters to life, Liberty International enlisted some of the most influential libertarian voices, including Walter Block, Tom Woods, Michael Malice, Larry Sharpe, Johan Norberg, Magatte Wade, Jennifer Grossman, Robert Anthony Peters, Mohit Satyanand, Kenli Schoolland, and Jo Ann Skousen.

Austin Petersen, who voiced the main character, already had the opportunity to interview the author on his show “Wake Up America”:

Excitement is building as Season 1 of The Adventures of Jonathan Gullible Animation Series is set to launch on September 5th on Free to Choose Network’s Youtube Channel.

In the meantime, check out the trailer here:

And if you want to take a look at behind the scenes, watch how an episode is created here: https://youtu.be/ddAseOGE4gc

Join Liberty International on this adventure and discover how profound ideas can indeed be fun and enjoyable for all ages!

Introduction to Modern Marketing for Brick and Mortar Stores

In the ever-evolving landscape of business and commerce, the importance of marketing for brick and mortar stores cannot be overstated. With the advent of e-commerce and digital platforms, traditional retail stores face increased competition and challenges. Thus, the need to stay relevant and appealing to the consumer base is crucial. This introduction provides a broad overview of modern marketing techniques, purposefully designed for the brick and mortar retail environment.

As a store owner, I understand the diverse challenges we face in the current market scenario. However, with the right strategies and tactics, it is possible to not only survive but also thrive in the retail sector. This guide aims to equip you with the tools and knowledge needed to leverage contemporary marketing techniques for your brick and mortar store.

The world of retail is changing, and so must our approach to marketing. Modern marketing is about more than just selling products—it’s about creating an experience, telling a story and building a relationship with your customers. It’s about standing out in a crowded marketplace and making a lasting impression.

The Importance of Marketing for Retail Businesses

Marketing is the lifeblood of any retail business. It is the process by which we attract and retain customers, build our brand, and ultimately drive sales. The importance of marketing in the brick and mortar retail sector cannot be underestimated.

At its core, marketing is about communicating the value of our products and services to potential customers. It’s about understanding our audience, knowing what they want, and delivering it in a way that stands out from our competitors. It’s about creating a compelling and consistent brand identity that resonates with our target market.

A well-executed marketing strategy can elevate your brick and mortar store from a mere shopping destination to an engaging and memorable experience. It can transform your store from a place where transactions happen to a place where relationships are built. It can turn first-time customers into loyal brand advocates.

The Evolution of Brick and Mortar Store Marketing

The evolution of marketing in the brick and mortar retail space over the years has been nothing short of remarkable. From simple word-of-mouth referrals to sophisticated digital campaigns, the approach to marketing has revolutionized in tandem with technological advancements and consumer behavior trends.

In the early days, brick and mortar stores relied heavily on traditional marketing techniques such as newspaper advertisements, direct mail, and radio spots. These methods, while effective at the time, were often one-sided and didn’t allow for much interaction or engagement with the customer.

Fast forward to today, and the marketing landscape for brick and mortar stores is vastly different. We now have a plethora of tools and platforms at our disposal, from social media and email marketing to in-store events and experiential marketing. These contemporary marketing techniques allow us to engage with our customers on a deeper level and create more personalized experiences.

Traditional Versus Contemporary Marketing Techniques

While traditional marketing techniques have their place and can still be effective in certain contexts, there’s no denying that contemporary marketing methods offer a multitude of advantages for brick and mortar stores.

Traditional marketing methods such as print advertisements, billboards, and radio spots tend to be broad and non-specific. They’re designed to reach a large audience, but they don’t allow for much personalization or targeted messaging.

On the other hand, contemporary marketing techniques such as social media advertising, email marketing, and content marketing allow for a much more targeted approach. They enable us to reach our desired audience with tailored messages, increasing the likelihood of engagement and conversion.

Further, contemporary marketing techniques also provide valuable data and analytics that help us understand our customers better, measure the effectiveness of our marketing efforts, and make informed decisions to refine our strategies.

Harnessing the Power of Advertising for Your Retail Store

Advertising is a fundamental aspect of marketing. It’s the process of promoting your products or services to potential customers, with the ultimate goal of driving sales. For brick and mortar stores, advertising plays a critical role in attracting customers to the physical location and encouraging them to make a purchase.

In today’s digital age, advertising for brick and mortar stores extends beyond traditional mediums like newspapers and billboards. Digital advertising platforms, such as Google Ads and social media advertisements, are powerful tools that can help increase your store’s visibility and reach.

But the power of advertising doesn’t stop at digital. Even within your physical store, there are numerous advertising opportunities that can enhance the customer experience and increase sales.

Benefits of Neon Signs in Brick and Mortar Marketing

One such in-store advertising technique that has stood the test of time is the use of neon signs. “As per May from Neon By Designs,  a classic form of visual marketing that can draw attention to your store, create an inviting ambiance, and highlight special deals or products.”

Neon signs are highly visible, even from a distance, making them an effective tool to attract passersby to your store. They also add a touch of retro charm to your store’s decor, which can enhance the overall customer experience.

In addition, neon signs can be customized to reflect your brand’s personality and message. Whether you want to convey a sense of fun and whimsy or a more sophisticated vibe, neon signs can help you achieve your desired look and feel.

Leveraging LED Signs for Store Visibility

While neon signs have their charm, LED signs are another great option for brick and mortar store marketing. LED signs are energy-efficient, durable, and offer a wide range of customization options, making them a versatile choice for in-store advertising.

LED signs can be used both inside and outside your store. Outside, they can help increase your store’s visibility, especially in high-traffic areas or during nighttime. Inside, they can be used to highlight specific products, promote sales or events, or direct customers around the store.

Furthermore, LED signs are available in a variety of colors, sizes, and styles, allowing you to create a sign that aligns with your brand and attracts your target audience.

Innovative Marketing Strategies for Your Brick and Mortar Store

In the competitive world of retail, innovation is key to standing out and attracting customers. This is particularly true when it comes to marketing. Innovative marketing strategies can help your brick and mortar store create a unique customer experience, build a strong brand identity, and drive sales.

One such innovative strategy is experiential marketing. This involves creating immersive, interactive experiences that engage customers and create a memorable impression. This could involve in-store events, product demonstrations, or interactive displays.

Another innovative strategy is the use of technology to enhance the customer experience. This could involve integrating digital elements into your physical store, such as interactive kiosks or digital signage, or using mobile apps or augmented reality to provide a more personalized shopping experience.

Case Studies of Successful Retail Marketing Campaigns

There are numerous examples of brick and mortar stores that have successfully leveraged contemporary marketing techniques to boost their business. These case studies can provide valuable insights and inspiration for your own marketing efforts.

One such example is the iconic department store Macy’s. They have successfully integrated digital elements into their physical stores, with interactive displays and mobile app integration that enhance the shopping experience.

Another example is the clothing retailer Zara, which has leveraged social media and influencer marketing to reach a younger audience and build a strong online presence.

These case studies illustrate the power of contemporary marketing techniques and their potential to transform your brick and mortar store.

Future Trends in Brick and Mortar Store Marketing

As we look to the future, it’s clear that the world of brick and mortar store marketing will continue to evolve. Technological advancements and changing consumer behavior will continue to shape the retail landscape, and it’s essential for store owners to stay ahead of these trends.

One such trend is the increasing integration of digital and physical retail experiences. As consumers increasingly expect seamless, omnichannel shopping experiences, brick and mortar stores will need to continue integrating digital elements into their physical stores.

Another trend is the increasing importance of personalization. As consumers are flooded with marketing messages, personalized experiences and targeted messaging will become even more crucial in standing out and attracting customers.

Conclusion

In conclusion, the world of brick and mortar store marketing is ever-evolving, and staying ahead of the curve is key to success. With the right strategies, tools, and mindset, you can unlock the potential of your store and create a memorable, engaging experience for your customers. Whether it’s through neon signs, LED signs, or innovative marketing strategies, the opportunities are endless.

Remember, marketing is not just about selling products—it’s about building relationships, creating experiences, and telling your story. And with the right approach, your brick and mortar store can do just that. So, harness the power of contemporary marketing techniques, and watch your business grow.

Shooting firearms is a great sport to participate in. It’s even better when you can go out and shoot one of the many types of guns available. However, shooting a gun accurately is a skill just like any other.

To get better at target shooting, you’ll need to practice. Shooting for target practice is much different than shooting for competition or for self-defense.

This guide will teach you target shooting tips that you should know before you head out to practice. Keep reading to learn more.

Beginner Techniques for Improved Accuracy

When you first start shooting at targets, one of the most important things to remember is to always keep your body stable and balanced and to keep a good grip on the gun.

If you want to get even better at shooting, work on controlling the trigger, keeping it from bouncing, and getting a steady sight picture.

Choosing the Right Target Shooting Equipment

Find a comfortable gun that fits your hands and has the right balance to be accurate while shooting. You’ll also need to select appropriate ammunition for the gun. Check out target sports 9mm ammo, as some target shooting will have specific requirements. Picking the right sights, whether open or optical, is also essential for focus and accuracy.

You should also consider an adjustable shooting rest for better aim and target control. Finally, having a sturdy backstop and a safe environment for shooting is important for skill development and consistent practice.

Mastering Sight Alignment and Trigger Control

Mastering sight alignment and trigger control is essential for target shooting. Perfecting the two techniques gives shooters accuracy and consistency when shooting at a target.

Sight alignment tips include focusing on the front sight with all peripheral vision blurred, placing the correct amount of pressure on the trigger with the same pressure each time, and developing a proper, comfortable stance for your body.

When it comes to trigger control, practice a smooth and consistent trigger squeeze as opposed to a jerking movement. Stock squeeze, where pressure is slowly and continuously increased until the shot is released, is often used.

Exploring Different Shooting Positions

Try to practice each position and remember the fundamentals of gun safety. Start with the basic standing position and progress to adding more challenging positions such as kneeling, sitting, and prone.

Make sure to practice each position frequently to keep accuracy and build muscle memory. Draw the firearm out of the holster with the same stance each time, always consistently load the firearm and make sure to identify your target.

Understanding Wind and Weather Conditions

One of the most important is understanding wind and weather conditions in order to accurately identify, set, and hit the target. Know the direction of the wind and its speed.

This can be done by using a wind gauge or by visually noting how wind affects nearby trees, grass, and other objects. Wind direction and speed can also be determined by using ammo that can leave a smoke trail visible to the shooter.

Knowing the temperature is also important in target shooting; it can affect the trajectory and speed of your projectile.

Explore These Target Shooting Tips Starting Today

Target shooting is a great way to spend time outdoors and sharpen your accuracy skills. Practice regularly and use the correct safety gear to help you set yourself up for success.

Pastor Chris Oyakhilome is essentially a family man with Christian family values deeply rooted in his upbringing. Born with an insatiable passion for spreading the Word of God around the world, he went on his first crusade at the age of nine.

Pastor Chris Oyakhilome: the family man, pastor, spiritual healer, and philanthropist.

The world-renown minister Pastor Chris Oyakhilome is of a family of faith.

Born to Elder Tim E. and Angelina Oyakhilome in Edo State, Nigeria, on the 7th of December 1963, Pastor Chris Oyakhilome was surrounded by a close-knit, religious family.

As the eldest son, he is the third child of seven, with five sisters and a brother. His family was immersed in the gospel, with his father being a founding member of the Assemblies of God Church in Benin City. This had a profound effect on the young Pastor Chris Oyakhilome, who honored his parents in the spirit of a devout Christian son.

Pastor Chris Oyakhilome finished secondary school at Edo College before going on to study architecture at Ambrose Alli University, previously known as Bendel State University.

There his spiritual passion was fueled, and he founded a Christian group called ‘Youth for Christ’, which evolved into one of the biggest groups on campus with a huge following.

The beginning of a dream: Christ Embassy is born

It was clear that Pastor Chris Oyakhilome was onto something big, and soon, the Christ Embassy Church was born.

It became evident that family would join him as the ministry grew into a larger business that involved so many more evangelical activities. This became LoveWorld Inc., and today, it has hundreds of branches spread over five continents, with a following of over 13 million members.

The teachings of the gospel are a vital component of Pastor Chris Oyakhilome’s family’s lives and successes, and they are involved in the daily operations of LoveWorld Inc.

Pastor Chris Oyakhilome’s family gets involved

Pastor Chris Oyakhilome sees Christ Embassy as part of his worldwide family. His own family’s involvement in the ministry is heartwarming to see.

Pastor Chris Oyakhilome’s only brother, Reverend Ken, is the renowned pastor of Christ Embassy’s Houston, Texas branch. He also serves on the Christ Embassy Central Executive Council.

One of his five sisters is the accomplished Evangelist Kathy Woghiren, the director of the LoveWorld Music and Arts Ministry (LMAM) and LoveWorld Creative Arts Academy. She is also a talented singer and songwriter in her own right.

Her songwriting expertise has led to some of the most famous LoveWorld songs, including the anthem “I Believe in Nigeria”.

Last year, at the prestigious LoveWorld International Music Awards (LIMA), she won the Songwriter of the Year award with the hit song ‘Awesome Majesty’.

Pastor Chris Oyakhilome remarked proudly at the award ceremony that this song was the best-ever written song that year.

“For me, I don’t think I’ve seen a better-written song than this one. The lyrics are exceptional, and the singing was full of passion and love, deeply communicated,” he enthused.

“Music and the arts are powerful tools for evangelism, soul-winning, healing, and the ministration of the Word in such a way that the gospel is forever beautifully engraved in the hearts of our audience,” Pastor Chris Oyakhilome has been known to say.

The award show is a platform given by him to celebrate the gospel of Jesus Christ according to LoveWorld Inc. through the diversities of the LoveWorld Music and Arts Ministry.

The next Oyakhilome generation

Known widely in the gospel singer’s community by her initials CSO, Pastor Chris Oyakhilome’s daughter Carissa Sharon Oyakhilome is a rising gospel star.

Inspired by her father’s teachings and as a celebration of his history, she wrote the award-winning song “Holy Spirit” as a testament to her deeply felt Christian devotion.

She is also the leader of the Global Youth Leaders’ Forum and presents many shows on its online channels.

Carissa Sharon Oyakhilome wedded her “best friend and absolute favorite person,” Phillip Frimpong, in a lavish affair in 2018.

Her younger sister, Charlene Oyakhilome, was her bridesmaid, and Pastor Chris Oyakhilome was overjoyed to have one of his best friends and colleagues, Pastor Benny Hinn, officiate at the ceremony.

Much less is known about Charlene Oyakhilome, who keeps her life very private. All that is known is that she resides in London, the United Kingdom.

In April 2021, the Pastor Chris Oyakhilome family was expanded with Arielle Rachelle Marise, his granddaughter through Carissa Sharon Oyakhilome.

Extended members of the Pastor Chris Oyakhilome family

Pastor Chris Oyakhilome’s family also consists of his nephew, Pastor Daysman Oyakhilome Woghiren. He is one of Africa’s rising leaders, encouraging the youth of today to become involved in the Word of God.

As a businessman and the CEO of Carel Films Enterprise, he is able to inspire young people through the use of modern social media methods.

He is responsible for the production of hundreds of Christian music videos and animations, which have earned him three American Academy of Animations Awards. He was also the recipient of the prestigious Walt Disney Award and a nominee for a Future Africa Leaders’ Award (FALA).

Have you ever thought you might be a libertarian? Maybe you think you are but you’ve been confused by apparently conflicting views of some libertarians. It’s true that there are different types of libertarians. Here’s a video that can explain some of the differences between them.

Broadly speaking, libertarians are individuals who advocate for a society that is characterized by maximum liberty and minimum government intervention. They believe that individuals have the right to do as they please, as long as they do not harm others, and that the government should not have the power to regulate personal behavior or control the economy.

Minarchist libertarians view the government as a necessary evil, one that is needed to protect individuals from harm and provide certain public goods, but should not be involved in other areas of life. They argue that individuals are the best judges of their own well-being and that the government should not have the power to make decisions for them. Anarchist libertarians believe government is an unnecessary evil, and that individuals ought to handle disputes amongst themselves without a taxpayer funded court system or police forces.

In terms of economic policy, libertarians favor a free market system and argue that government intervention in the economy, such as through regulation or taxation, is unnecessary and can actually hinder prosperity. They believe that individuals should be free to engage in trade and commerce without interference and that the market, guided by the invisible hand of supply and demand, will lead to the most efficient allocation of resources.

Libertarians also support a minimal to no welfare state, arguing that assistance should be provided through voluntary charities and private organizations rather than through government programs. They believe that government welfare programs discourage personal responsibility and lead to dependency on the state.

On social issues, libertarians believe in individual freedom and the right to privacy. They argue that the government should not have the power to regulate personal behavior, such as drug use or sexual behavior, as long as it does not harm others. They also support the right to bear arms and the right to free speech.

Libertarians often disagree with both liberals and conservatives on various issues. For example, they may support the legalization of drugs, which is often opposed by conservatives, but also oppose government-mandated healthcare, which is supported by liberals.

Overall, libertarians believe in a society where individuals are free to make their own choices and are not restricted by the government. They argue that this type of society will lead to the most prosperity and happiness for all individuals.

Elon Musk decided to take on Hillary Clinton over her claims that the attacker of Paul Pelosi in San Francisco was a right winger. An article from the Santa Monica observer that Musk tweeted claims that it might not be some right wing nut after all… but his gay lover.

News of the attack that emerged quickly pointed a finger at a Paul DePape as a believer in Q-Anon and a right wing conspiracy theorist. But alternative media sites have been painting a different picture, and Elon Musk gave credence to some of the alternative media claims by tweeting a link to an article in the Santa Monica observer, which claims to allege that the attacker may not have been a random attacker.

Leftist media immediately went into attack mode against Musk, with headlines such as these:

The article received so much traffic that it was unable to be reached at the time of this publication. However, thanks to Archive.org and JD Rucker, we can post this for you below:

 

As SF’s gay bars closed at 2 am, two gay men met in a bar and went home together. Happens every night in the City by the Bay. Except one of these two men, was married to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.

I might disappear for telling you the truth. If I do, you’ll all know why. But here’s what really happened early Friday morning in San Francisco. IMHO

According to SFPD “RP [Reporting Person] stated that there’s a male in the home and that he’s going to wait for his wife. RP stated that he doesn’t know who the male is but he advised that his name is David, and that he is a friend,” the dispatch official said. “RP sounded somewhat confused.”

It’s been a rumor for years in SF that Paul Pelosi is gay. David Depape is said to be a Castro Nudist. “The lunatic who allegedly assaulted Paul Pelosi is a Berkeley resident and a ‘Former Castro Nudist Protester’ and hemp ‘jewelry maker’ …sounds totally MAGA Republican to me. 🤣🤣” this from Twitter.

Ok, so here’s the theory, as related to me by a source: “Castro Nudists are a group of really radical gay male prostitutes that parade around naked with c–k rings. First of all, the Police did not come in response to an alarm. They come in response to a “wellness check”. So someone called them to check on Pelosi.”

“When he didn’t answer the phone, the cops broke the sliding glass door to get in. Pelosi was struggling with the suspect, who was in his underwear.

Pelosi owned the hammer. Not Depape. Or, the male prostitute was doing something Pelosi didn’t like.”

“And then there was the press conference when they didn’t know the mic was on. During that, a reporter confirmed that the suspect was a gay Castro Nudist, but they told him he couldn’t use it.”

“Now tell me something. This people are worth hundreds of millions of dollars. Nancy is third in line to the presidency. You don’t think they have the most amazing security? And by the way, when Pelosi was in that drunk driving accident, he had a young man with him, and that too was covered up by the police and the press.”

“How would (suspect Depape) have been able to break a window that without triggering an alarm? He didn’t. The police broke the window to gain entry. There was only one hammer, and it belonged to Pelosi. And only ONE cop said he said “Where’s Nancy?” None of the others said that he said that. Probably the police broke the window, in order to get in to conduct a wellness check. “

“And one of them could easily have broken that window. Remember, there was no alarm triggered. How would (suspect Depape) have gotten into that house without doing that? The cops smashed the glass to gain entry.”

Who called 911 to initiate a wellness check? Either Nancy or her staff, who hadn’t hear from Paul all evening and suddenly it’s 2 am. Or a neighbor, hearing a fight at the Pelosi residence.

Admittedly, David Depape is a known nutcase. He’s an election denier, says mainstream media, who has posted conspiracy theories online. That may be true, but he also lives in Berkeley, where he is a 42 year old career student.

“My law firm served a lawsuit against Paul Pelosi one time in SF after attempting to serve at other residences-Napa, Georgetown. They weren’t home, but staff were, and multiple law enforcement officers were on the perimeter. Break-in is odd given this level of security.” said Harmeet Dillon, Republican National Committee Chairman

What Is The Price Of Liberty? 

This text was given as a speech at Missouri State University’s Turning Point USA student group on October 29, 2022.

What is the price of liberty? Many of you might be familiar with the full phrase

“The price of liberty is eternal vigilance.”

That quote adorns the entrance to the national archives in Washington D.C. and has sometimes falsely been attributed to Thomas Jefferson. 

But the phrase itself comes from a quote by John Philpott Curran that was popularized later when it was repeated by Frederick Douglass who said that 

“The condition upon which God hath given liberty to man is eternal vigilance; which condition if he break, servitude is at once the consequence of his crime and the punishment of his guilt.”

John Philpott Curran

Meaning that liberty will only be protected if we are awake and aware and actively working to maintain it. Or in modern parlance, that we remain based and redpilled. 

George Orwell once said that “If liberty means anything at all, it means the right to tell people what they do not want to hear.”

What I have to say to you tonight will definitely fall under that purview. These topics I’ll breach are the kind of harsh truths that could prevent someone from being elected but since I’m already in that boat let’s go forward with the unpleasant truths. 

Now when people think of the price of liberty, typically the first thing that comes to mind are our military servicemembers who sacrifice their lives and bodies to defend our freedom overseas. Or if not that then they think of police officers or other civil servants in some form or fashion. 

Or perhaps they think of the oath that the Founding Fathers took, “Our lives, our fortunes, our sacred honor,” when they took a pact that could have seen them hanged for declaring Independence from Great Britain. “I regret that I have but only life to give for my country,” may come to mind. 

But my speech tonight will focus in not on the government officials, the military, or the police. Instead, I will focus in on the price of liberty that’s paid for in the blood of the innocent. The civilian. The price that you, or even your infant children might pay in blood. And once I’m finished I will ask you to consider whether or not you’re ready to pay that price to protect liberty, or if you would prefer the safety promised to you by the proponents of big government. 

Drug Addiction as A Price

Because I’m a secular libertarian Republican, and not a social conservative, I believe in the total abolition of all drug laws that punish recreational drug use for consenting adults. Emphasis on the consenting adults. I quite famously was booed at the 2016 presidential convention when I said that I believed there should be laws that protect children from having access to drugs. Anarchist gonna anarchy I guess. 

And while I don’t condone recreational drug use, I don’t believe it’s the role of government to tell adults what to put in their bodies to alter their moods or behavior, provided that the drug user doesn’t harm anyone else. 

This is not a popular position in my newly adopted Republican Party. In fact, it’s not a popular position with the Democratic party either. For all the talk from the left about my body my choice, they really only mean that when they want to slaughter the unborn out of convenience, but that’s a discussion for another time. 

There’s a famous saying from before World War 2 that goes, say what you will about Mussolini, but he kept the trains running on time.

You see, part of the allure of fascism, is that its advocates can bring order and stability to society through centralizing power into the hands of a strong man. Whatever the ills of society are can be fixed by doing away with the chaos of liberty, and embracing the order of central planning and either national or democratic socialism. 

In the 1920’s Mussolini needed to convince the people of Italy that fascism was indeed a system that worked to their benefit. Thus was born the myth of fascist efficiency, with the train as its symbol. The word was spread that Mussolini had turned the dilapidated Italian railway system into one that was the envy of all Europe, featuring trains that were both dependable and punctual. In Mussolini’s Italy, all the trains ran on time.

Mussolini may have done many brutal and tyrannical things; he may have destroyed human freedom in Italy; he may have murdered and tortured citizens whose only crime was to oppose Mussolini; but ‘one had to admit’ one thing about the dictator: he ‘made the trains run on time.’

Government’s promises regarding the War on Drugs amount to much the same thing. The ATF might shoot your dog. They might conduct no knock raids and murder you and your girlfriend while you’re asleep in your beds. They might hogtie you and leave you in a police cruiser that’s parked on a train track only to have a train come along and crush you like a recent incident… but at least they’ll stop you from getting high! 

Drug and alcohol addictions are evil. But there are greater evils than drug addiction, much greater… Fascism, communism, all forms of socialism: All of these ideologies kill more people every year than any opioid or alcohol beverage. Governments kill more people than drugs, and it isn’t even close. 

So, is drug addiction, opioid abuse, fentanyl, meth, and other drugs… is that the price of liberty? And if it is, are we willing to pay that price? Or will we accept the promises of politicians who will save us from drug addictions? They’ll shoot your dog and throw you in jail, but they’ll keep you from becoming a drug addict? They’ll protect your kids with their guns instead of yours.

They’ll keep the trains running on time! 

North Korea has some of the lowest numbers of drug addiction in the world. But who would want to live in North Korea? In the Philippines they give the death penalty to drug dealers. Would you prefer to live in the Philippines than here?

Now what about Portugal? Portugal has engaged in a vast experiment with the decriminalization of all drugs, including hard drugs. Do they have drug addiction? Absolutely. Is it lower than, and still falling compared to the rest of the civilized world? Yes it is. 

Defending drug users isn’t popular. But as H.L. Mencken once said, 

“The trouble with fighting for human freedom is that one spends most of one’s time defending scoundrels. For it is against scoundrels that oppressive laws are first aimed, and oppression must be stopped at the beginning if it is to be stopped at all.”

School Shootings as a Price

A few days ago a young man in St. Louis took an AR-15 with over 600 rounds of ammunition into a school and killed two people, injuring seven others. Before the bodies were cold, anti gun politicians immediately stood on the corpses and began grandstanding about how the guns were the problem. 

Never mind the fact that the shooter left us a statement with his motives. Let’s read them. 

‘I don’t have any friends, I don’t have any family, I’ve never had a girlfriend, I’ve never had a social life. I’ve been an isolated loner my entire life.’

It’s almost as if the problems that this murderer had were irrespective of his access to weaponry. Never mind the fact that his parents had alerted the police to him. He was known to the authorities. They even tried to get him help, but to no avail. 

On the day of the shooting, there were half a dozen school resource officers who were tasked with protecting the school. None of them were armed. Could more guns have solved this problem? The answer is quite clearly yes. We had a gun problem. There weren’t enough guns there to solve the problem. Apparently now they’re looking at actually arming the school resource officers there. Good idea, but too little too late for the victims of this latest tragedy. 

In 2018 when I was running for senate here in Missouri I got into a back and forth with Shannon Watts the founder of Moms Demand action for gun control. Montel Williams also got into it but that’s a story for another day. Many a “you are NOT the father” and “Silvia the Psychic” jokes were had but I digress. 

Shannon Watts and I were arguing because I was giving away an AR-15 for my US senate campaign, with the unfortunate timing that the school shooting in Parkland, Florida happened at the same time. Naturally there was a huge outcry and demand that I stop the raffle, and apologize for my insensitivity.

Instead I doubled down. 

In a famous exchange, so famous that I sell fridge magnets of it on my online store. Shannon Watts took aim at the NRA and essentially argued they were responsible for the death of children. I responded simply tweeting: “the price of freedom.”

The backlash began: “Children’s gun deaths are the price of freedom?” she oinked. 

I retorted affirmatively with a Thomas Jefferson quote where he said that

“timid men prefer the calm of despotism to the boisterous sea of liberty.”

Her response was to say that “other democracies understand that the right to own a gun isn’t a suicide pact. The bizarre belief that our children should be sacrificed on the altar of gun manufacturers’ profits is exactly why American moms are kicking the @NRA’s ass.”

And I tweeted a rhetorical question which I answered: “How many children have to die before I surrender my rights? The answer? All of them. 

She then proceeded to tag and report me to the FBI, and I closed the conversation by saying “Call the cops I don’t give a fuck.” 

Now despite that attempt at brevity. My claim was deadly serious, and is the main thrust of my premise here tonight. The price of liberty. 

It’s safe and uncontroversial to suggest that those in service to the government may lay their lives down in service to liberty. Hearts will stir and people will faintly nod and everyone will agree with you and go on about their bland, boring, safe lives. 

But isn’t the real price of liberty paid for by those who through possibly no fault of their own suffer the consequences of living in a free world? And if we are to keep our liberty, and not give in to statism and to big government. If we are to keep our guns, our drugs, and our free speech. Doesn’t that mean that there will be more innocent victims and that we must accept that as the price?

Are drug and alcohol addicts a price of liberty? Yes.

Are the victims of school shootings the price of liberty? Yes.

And if that’s the case, When the next incident occurs, and another school is attacked, and whether through typical govt ineptness, or gun free school zones, more bodies are lying cold and politicians stand on top of them demanding you give up your rights… will you still stand for liberty? Or will you shrink in fear when the big govt prostitutes and its useful idiots threaten you with reprisals or cancellation? 

Will you be able to watch innocent lives dragged under into the boisterous seas of liberty, and drown there, knowing that human freedom depends on your ability to continue on into the tempest? And face the storm?

Or will you turn to the siren call of big government? Will you remove Odysseus’ honeycombs from your ears and turn and embrace the beautiful lies of safety on the rocks? Will you lay in the arms of whores who say they will protect you and our children if we only give them your money, your medicines, and your guns? Will you turn to their embrace? Or will you turn back and face Jefferson’s storm and accept that freedom truly isn’t free?

Timid men prefer the calm of despotism… to the boisterous seas of liberty.

What will you say when faced with the question of “Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.”

As Dwight Eisenhower once said:

If you want total security, go to prison. There you’re fed, clothed, given medical care and so on. The only thing lacking… is freedom.

As for me I’ll choose liberty, and I’ll face the storm and the sea. What will you choose?

No matter which industry you choose, running a company and competing with the best of the best is always going to be a challenge. Company management can be a little tricky, especially for business owners who haven’t yet been tried and tested.

The world of business management is competitive, and things take an even trickier turn when you consider specific industries that don’t lend themselves well to attracting an audience. For example, insurance is one of the most crucial things you can have, but you won’t see too many people singing its praises.

It’s the reason why insurers should look for every opportunity to set themselves apart from the rest of the pack. Fortunately, software as a service (SaaS) is one of the best ways to accomplish your goals as an insurer.

1. What makes SaaS so valuable?

It’s common knowledge that SaaS uses cloud computing to keep things as efficient as possible. It helps provide a software interface where company owners can handle core processes, which is why SaaS insurance software is so valuable for insurers and many other industries. In today’s digital age, many companies are switching to digital business management as it’s the ideal way to manage a business.

The cloud-computing solutions offered by SaaS give insurers worldwide a chance to remain competitive even when facing the best in the industry. For example, an analytical rating engine can help insurers with pricing options, offering optimum solutions for their clients in real-time.

The trouble with insurance is that not many people are too excited due to its nature. As such, company owners are looking for newer and better ways to make insurance an exciting prospect for their clients.

2. What’s the best example of top-quality insurance through SaaS?

A rating engine for businesses is one of the best aids for top-quality insurance, as it helps deal with price transparency. If you’re looking for an example that will excite people, it’s undoubtedly with auto insurance. With the help of machine learning and telematics, companies can now gauge drivers’ behavior on the road, resulting in data that can be translated to fair pricing.

It paves the way for usage-based insurance (UBI), where the type of insurance depends on the driver’s behavior. As a result, insurers can provide the best bang for the buck by giving their clients free reign to change prices based on their driving.

3. Is SaaS mandatory for competitive insurers?

Without a doubt, the answer is yes. SaaS is a mandatory function for most insurers that want to make a splash in the industry. Getting people to go for your insurance options when they already have other businesses they trust can be frustrating for most. You must have an edge to set you apart from the rest of the crowd.

SaaS opens the door for many different opportunities. It’s something that allows even newer companies to get the hang of their chosen industry as early as possible. It can help you digitally transform your company without the need for too much manpower.
