The government may soon be able to shut down your car. Biden’s $1.2 trillion infrastructure bill includes a kill switch for new cars. In an effort to reduce drunk driving, government wants devices in cars that will monitor and limit impaired driving. But there’s a big problem: these devices give government control over your car. Automotive engineer and former vintage race car driver Lauren Fix points out the dangers in my video, above.

Today is #TaxDay. But calling any single day “Tax Day” is misleading. The income tax is LESS THAN HALF of what most of us pay the government. Kristin Tate has been researching that:

Monday is #TaxDay. President Biden says tax increases on the rich will bring in more revenue. I doubt it. They would lead to lots more accountants finding loopholes ... and a lot less productive work:

Biden’s Labor Department just added 300 pages of new rules. They claim it will help freelancers. But wait! Didn’t the leftists notice how their similar rules in California HURT freelancers?

When Covid hit, politicians rushed to spend money. I warned: "our national debt is already $24 trillion." That seems quaint. It’s $34 trillion now. Politicians are so irresponsible:

A full year after Covid began, teachers unions still shouted, "No school should reopen until it's safe!” MILLIONS of kids lost years of learning. Fortunately, independent schools did better. Here's my report from when unions kept schools closed:

Politicians on both sides now agree: globalization and free trade are BAD. Much of what they say is just WRONG. Let's debunk their myths:

FLASHBACK: 4 years ago, I released my first video on COVID. We didn't know much about it then. But we did know that government rules messed up Covid testing, and delayed telemedicine. Trump waived some rules, but we lost valuable time. Let's learn from that!

Crazy anti-landlord laws mean that in many states, if a squatter simply CLAIMS to have a lease, cops can’t do anything. Flash Shelton tells me his solution: out-squat the squatter!

As we look back on the 4 year anniversary of “15 days to slow the spread,” it is easy to see how politicians made things worse. But lots of ordinary people fought the pandemic through voluntary cooperation. They are the unsung heroes:

4 years ago politicians were quick to use #Covid as an excuse to declare some Americans “essential,” and most others, not. Interesting how often “essential” workers turned out to be ones who paid lobbyists. Mike Rowe reminded us who really is essential:

4 years ago, we were told we had “15 days to slow the spread.” Covid’s "15 days" turned into years, and the loss of our freedoms increased. It’s important we don’t forget what happened. Politicians destroyed jobs and increased costs. They made bad things worse with arbitrary rules, and on top of that, government probably killed people with its endless red tape. Let’s remember politicians’ incompetence and their insatiable wish to gain power over us. Let’s never give them power like that again.

Star Trek gave us a glimpse of what might be possible in the future. Now our technology is catching up to Star Trek. But would we be able to fly the Enterprise today? Probably not -- we have so many regulations that the Enterprise wouldn't get off the ground. Building the ship would be a pork project spread across every state, the Food Replicator would curtail eating choices, the TSA would make it hard to board... Is “Star Trek -- The Libertarian Edition" possible? William Shatner sits down to debate.

A TERRIBLE leftist idea is on the rise: “Dismantle capitalism!” they say, because “growth is killing us.” That’s just absurd. Capitalism and growth SAVE lives. “Over the past 20 years… 130,000 people were lifted out of extreme poverty every day” explains Johan Norberg:

Government handouts repeatedly end up in the pockets of giant corporations. Politicians in Memphis, Tennessee, gave Swedish furniture giant IKEA tax breaks to come to the city and create jobs. IKEA created fewer jobs than promised, and drove existing small furniture stores -- who still had to pay taxes -- into the ground. "Where’s our tax break?" business owner Louis Caddell, of "King's Furniture," asked. Then he went out of business. He couldn't compete with a giant like IKEA that got special breaks.

Politicians and activists tell how “renewable" energy will save us from the climate “crisis.” They don’t tell us about the real costs of green power. My new video covers a documentary series called, “Juice: Politics, Power and the Grid.” It reveals how although renewables sound green, they have lots of problems. California promises to get 50% of their electricity from renewable sources. Now they deal with blackouts, rationing, and prices that increased 3x faster than in the rest of the US.

Traditional comedy got preachy and smug! It’s created a market for something new. Here's comedy the woke left doesn’t want you to see.

”You don’t judge people by what color they are,” says Charles Murray. “Treat people as individuals, most of the problems go away.” Despite saying that, people call him a racist. Here is my FULL interview with him. Decide for yourself.

Socialism has failed so many times that at least some people understand that it wrecks economies. Fewer understand that it also leads to violence, but Gloria Alvarez does:

Privacy specialist Naomi Brockwell looked through my phone and said I should DELETE most of my apps. Here’s what she said I should delete and why.

We hear "the planet is on fire!" Climate change will lead to "collapse of our civilization!” It's unpopular to question that narrative, but ClimateDepot.com founder Marc Morano does anyway.

CNN reporters suck up to Kamala Harris. “I am struck, just in your presence!” one told her. Interviewing Republicans, the tone is very different. Here are examples:

DNA evidence frees hundreds of wrongly jailed people. How did courts and prosecutors get it so wrong? Shoddy science is a reason:

AI eliminated thousands of jobs last year. That’s what innovation has always done. Most Americans once worked on farms; today, only 1% do. That was a good thing, because people found other, better, less dangerous jobs. This will happen again because of AI.

Minneapolis adopted most every "progressive" law: $15 min wage, housing subsidies, "green" goals, lots of school spending, and on... Despite all that, the city's racial inequality is about the worst in the country. Government makes it worse by dis-incentivising work, says Jason Lewis:
