Thoughts from Maharrey Head

When it comes to the legal system, Americans make a federal case out of almost everything. But a guy in Iowa took a different route. When Iowa police violated his rights, he didn't run to the feds. He sued in state court under the Iowa Constitution. As a result, the Iowa Supreme Court effectively overturned a horrible SCOTUS precedent in a big win for people in Iowa. In this episode of Thoughts from Maharrey Head, I explain how this all went down. You can visit the show notes page here: https://bit.ly/2MzXwc3

To hear Donald Trump and his Republican supporters tell it, the economy is booming because of wildly successful Trumpanomics. But I think Trump is setting himself to take the fall when the bubble eventually bursts. In this episode of Thoughts from Maharrey Head, I explain why.

It seems like half of America suffers from Trump Derangement Syndrome. He could give every person in the country a bar of gold and people with TDS would protest it. On the other hand, we have the Trump worshipers. He could kill puppies on stage and they would tell you that despite what you see, this is making America great again. In this episode of Thoughts from Maharrey Head, I talk about how politics in America has devolved into a ridiculous cult of personality.

A lot of people are pushing for Congress to mandate conceal carry reciprocity. It may sound like a great idea, but there are some serious constitutional issues. In this episode of Thoughts from Maharrey Head, I focus specifically on the idea that the "full faith and credit" clause authorizes Congress to pass such a law.

A lot of people blame the Constitution for the continual expansion of the federal government. But this is kind of silly. It's like blaming a contract when one party refuses to uphold it. If the other party doesn't bother to enforce it, you can't blame the contract. The real problem is people aren't willing to pay the price for liberty. What is that price? In this episode of Thoughts from Maharrey Head, I talk about the famous quote, "Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty," and explain how I think it applies today.

I set off a firestorm when I posted the following on my Facebook page.

"If your constitutional argument is 'Obama did... You have no principles."

This wasn't a post about immigration. It was about constitutional principles. If you have any, you won't try to justify one president's unconstitutional actions by pointing out another president's unconstitutional actions. But if you're into stupid party politics, that's exactly what you'll do. In this episode of Thoughts from Maharrey Head, I talk about it.

Most people have heard of the Federal Reserve, but they have no idea what it does or just how much of an impact it actually has on the economy. In this episode of Thoughts from Maharrey Head, I explain just one way the central bank has wrecked the economy as revealed by a couple of recent news items. It will help you understand why we really do need to end the Fed! Click here to visit the show notes page: https://bit.ly/2LMZHpj

Whenever I talk about government surveillance, I always get people saying it doesn't matter. After all, "If you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to fear." In this episode of Thoughts from Maharrey Head, I challenge this ignorant mantra and explain exactly why we should care about surveillance. And if you're not convinced by the end, I have a little challenge for you! To visit the show notes page, click here: https://bit.ly/2s7LuLs

If you care about state sovereignty, the Tenth Amendment, or limiting the federal government, the Supreme Court just handed you a huge victory. (It was also a big win if you want to legally bet on sports.) In this episode of Thoughts from Maharrey Head, I talk about the SCOTUS decision handed down in the New Jersey sports betting case. I don't normally get very excited about what the Supreme Court does. But when it's right, it's right! Click here to visit the show notes page: https://bit.ly/2GvPtpr
