Biden 3 years ago: “Beginning today, gathering with a group of friends in the park, going for a picnic…as long as you are vaccinated and outdoors, you can do it without a mask.” These ridiculous rules only served to dehumanize the unvaccinated. Evil.

American families are best served by a dynamic and entrepreneurial market economy that raises incomes and generates opportunity like no other. And yes, that comes with a level of disruption. Adults and conservatives should understand trade-offs, unlike populists and children.
The conservative movement must stop defending free markets (though it is a good) and start defending the American family for which the free market was created to serve.
