Resident Biden will decide about running for reelection after the midterms.

I'm Peter Serefine with today's Liberty Minute.

When asked about his low poll numbers, Biden blamed Covid-19. He said covid had an “impact on the psyche of the American people.”

Yeah, Joe.  That is what hurts your poll numbers. It couldn't possibly be:

I'm sure you're right.  Covid is what people are thinking about when polled.

Saturday was Constitution Day.

I'm Peter Serefine with today's Liberty Minute.

Albert Einstein said, “the strength of the Constitution lies entirely in the determination of each citizen to defend it.”

Einstein said "each citizen," not citizens at large.

On September 17th, 1787, thirty-nine men signed the United States Constitution.

The grand experiment of a representative democracy framed as a Constitutional Republic began 235 years ago.

The average Constitution tried in other countries only lasts 15 years. So clearly, the United States Constitution is remarkable.

I have handed out thousands of pocket Constitutions, and I can't believe how often someone says, "I've never read it" or "I don't really know what's in it."

Be determined to defend the Constitution.   Read it.  Teach its principles to younger generations.

Returning to constitutional principles is our only hope of saving our republic.

A special Constitution Day Liberty Minute.

Please explain how ultra mega extreme MAGA are terrorists.

I'm Peter Serefine, and this is today's Liberty Minute.

Resident Biden and Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas both keep pointing at the Make America Great Again crowd as domestic terrorists.

Let's examine this idea.

The MAGA people don't seem to be hiding.  Many of them wear clearly identifiable clothing, like bright red hats.

Most are open about their beliefs, both religious and political.

As far as I can tell, the MAGA folks just want to Make America a Great nation Again.  They want our government to think about us, the American citizens, first.  They want to pay fewer taxes, want to actually feel represented in DC, and generally want the government out of our daily lives.

So please, tell me again how "Let's go Brandon" became the new Allahu Akbar.

Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.

I'm Peter Serefine, and this is today's Liberty Minute.

That quote from Benjamin Franklin cuts right to today's politics, 247 years later.

Both sides of the political aisle use fear to push their agenda.

Climate change, a threat to our democracy, white supremacists, covid, and monkeypox are shouted from the left.

The right yells rising crime, socialism, the new world order, and an invasion from the southern border.

Governments and politicians use scare tactics constantly.

We are a nation founded on personal liberty regardless of your political views.  We as individuals must start taking responsibility for ourselves again.

That is why I end every show with, "protect your liberties.  Once they're gone, there is no getting them back."

Kenneth Harrelson has been a political prisoner for 552 days.

I'm Peter Serefine with today's Liberty Minute.

There is now a trial date.  On September 27th, the first group of Oath Keepers will be tried by jury.

The trial could last months.

Disabled American Veteran, Kenneth Harrelson, will have spent 566 days in prison before the first day of his trial.

In the meantime, the VA cut the benefits paid to his wife before any trial or conviction.

It doesn't matter what you think about the events of January 6th.  Your political ideology does not matter.  This is wrong!

The United States does not hold political prisoners.  We have the right to a speedy trial.

Our country, our constitution, does not allow citizens to be treated this way.

I do not recognize the Republic that I love anymore.

Resident Biden tried to emulate JFK

I'm Peter Serefine with today's Liberty Minute.

While at the John F Kennedy presidential library on Monday, the 60th anniversary of President Kennedy's moon shot speech, Biden said America would end cancer as we know it.

Biden specifically set the goal to cut cancer deaths in half within 25 years.

Has Biden forgotten that video cameras exist, or does he think people are too stupid to remember anything?

Richard Nixon declared war on Cancer in 1971, the year before Biden was elected to the Senate.

Biden himself claimed he would end cancer as we know it when he first ran for President in 1987.

The media is running with Biden’s cancer moonshot speech like it is a brave new promise.

Resident Biden, JFK, you are not.

Politicians talk about billion-dollar spending like pocket change.

I'm Peter Serefine, and this is today's Liberty Minute.

You've probably heard me say that a billion dollars spent by our federal government is $8 per taxpayer.

Let's talk about some other examples of what a billion really is.

A billion seconds ago, it was 1990.

If you played this Liberty Minute on a continuous loop a billion times, it would stop playing in the year 3912.

The government has moved on to spending trillions of dollars at a time.  Biden’s recent student loan forgiveness is likely to cost a trillion dollars.  Six trillion was spent in the name of Covid.

A trillion is a thousand billions, so $8,000 per taxpayer.

A trillion seconds ago was 29,000 BC.

Remember these examples the next time you hear a politician talk about spending.

Russian Sanctions may be backfiring.

I'm Peter Serefine, and this is today's Liberty Minute.

The US and most of Europe put heavy sanctions on Russian energy over the Ukrainian situation.  These sanctions have had an effect, but maybe not the intended one.

Much of Europe is warning of serious energy shortages in the coming winter.  Some countries are putting caps on use and subsidizing costs.

Yesterday, Putin announced he was closing the tap.  No more energy exports until the sanctions are lifted.

So, who is really being hurt by these sanctions, Russia or our European allies?

If only there was another large country with vast natural gas and oil resources that could help our allies and prevent them from freezing.  If only there was an energy-independent nation with free markets which could guarantee the energy security of European families.

Biden’s Inflation Reduction Act hurts the electric vehicle push.

I'm Peter Serefine, and this is today's Liberty Minute.

It is no secret that Biden is pushing for electric vehicles, but his Inflation Reduction Act is contrary to that push.

Prior to the Inflation Reduction Act, 72 vehicles qualified for a buyer tax credit.

Now, only 16 models qualify.

Of the 16 that qualify, only two have a list price below $36,000.

Economical options like Toyota and Hyundai don't qualify for the tax credit, but BMW and Audi do.

The average price of an electric vehicle that does qualify is $55,000 plus taxes and fees.

So, once again, the government claimed to be helping the poor, but I don't know any poor people who can buy a BMW even with a tax credit.
