Liberty and tyranny
a conservative manifesto
Mark Levin

He discusses various issues such as welfare, environmentalism, immigration, and the role of government, emphasizing the importance of individual freedoms, self-reliance, and the dangers of government overreach.

The book highlights the deep love that can develop between a family and their pet and the profound impact this relationship can have on their lives.
On Wednesday’s Mark Levin Show, it’s nice to see the fight in Congress over spending, but they are fighting over discretionary spending which is a small percentage of the budget. Continuing resolutions are important, but in the big scheme, they are nothing. The majority of the budget goes to entitlements. Nobody wants to touch Medicare, Medicaid, or Social Security, yet they are going bankrupt. They are not serious about the debt if they won’t even talk about reforming Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security. Unless there’s systemic change there won’t be real change. Also, The Liberty Amendments provides eleven clear amendments to restore “constitutional republicanism” and preserve “the civil society from the growing authoritarianism of a federal Leviathan.” These amendments all deserve serious consideration by the policymakers. Later, Democrats want you to believe Biden’s foreign policy was great. They funded Iran while they were choking off Israel. They essentially told Ukraine that they couldn’t win but not letting them go on offense.
