A major point of a digital ID is not to identify yourself, but to track and trace your every move. As always, it is about control; it is about Big Brother keeping an eye on you and making sure that we all stay in line and remain subservient to the all-powerful State.

Has the Department of Justice just put a bounty on Donald Trump’s head? The DOJ released a letter from would-be Trump assassin Ryan Routh, offering a $150,000 reward for anyone who “finished the job”.

How the world has changed in 60 years! I don’t know anyone today who has a fully positive attitude towards corporal punishment. Meanwhile, as time has gone by, more and more expletives are now accepted.
