The weekend before last, I had the immense pleasure and honor of participating in the Brownstone Institute’s conference, The Great Restoration, which focused on the COVID crisis and solutions in the aftermath of the crisis. You can watch the conference

Some people prioritize community over truth. I, like you, prefer it the other way around. Life without friends is tough, but life without a constant commitment to truth is meaningless. Find your truth, and real companionship will follow.

This is one of the best pieces I've read on the current situation, the madness of the self-righteous ignoramuses impervious to facts, and our duty to refuse to comply. You have led the way. Thank you!

Thank you for this, and thank you for all you do. I cherish our U.S. Constitution and every time I get on an airplane, I thank you for your fight to remove these idiotic counter-productive perfomative slave masks.

You are an awesome person, so brave and perseverent. Thank God for people like you!!!
I would say that B, as a public spirited person who lacks the independence to think critically, has been masterfully weaponized by Big Brother to silence others. You handled that with much patience and generosity.
Leslie, you are a strong person, dedicated to your principles. The greatest hypocrisy I have found among my most ardent liberal friends is how rabidly they want to quash other's personal freedoms. The very people who fight so hard for personal choice over their bodys, throw it all away in the face of hysteria. People have lost their minds. Keep up the good fight. Sending you love and strength.

The utter closed mindedness of the covidians is astounding. I have several people in my life with whom I have to remain mostly silent and who greet any remarks related to the failure of the "vaccines", their side effects, covid's mildness, etc with complete rejection. The total inability and unwillingness to even consider other points of view is truly bizarre.

Thanks for the courage to stand up to the cancel culture. I always have to smile when I see blanket statements like ID being one of the worst states re: COVID. I have been tracking the reported Covid cases and deaths from the beginning of the attack (from official sources so they must be taken with a big grain of salt) but even using those sources ID was 18th out of 51 tracked states or districts (sorted smallest to largest) in cases per 100,000 population (which is what masks were supposed to prevent). We had fewer cases per 100k pop than CA, MI, CO, MA NJ, NY RI, LA, NM and IL many of which had very severe masking restrictions. I have worked in many clean rooms during my career and masks were only used to protect the product from human contamination (always bacteria). Viruses are much smaller. Using masks to try an stop a virion has been likened to stopping mosquitos using a chain-link fence. Keep up the good work.

New subscriber. Appreciate your perspective. Generally a frustrating experience trying to have a rational conversation with people on this topic. One area that I have struggle in my own thinking is the concept of this being a communicable disease. Pretty clear to me people should be able to decide how to treat their own cancer but I struggle to come up with a convincing counter argument to the claim that 'if I am a potential threat to your health simply by being in the same store - then I have the obligation to take precautions (masks, vax, etc) to ensure I am not infecting you". My viewpoint is neither masks or vax are effective at reducing the threat and, in general, there is no effective way to stop an airborne virus. We have seen that as even with all our interventions - everyone has gotten it.
We generally have very poor understanding of how these infections work (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2130424/). On the other hand - I certainly don't think I have 'the right' to infect other people around me.... Why people react to this differently than the flu is another issue - but how do you think about that issue ?

THANKS (is not enough) for all you do Leslie! Trailblazer extraordinare! This commentary from Laura Matsue, is definitely food for thought as to why we just cannot reach some people. I've had this conversation with oh so many people, and I do believe Laura is onto something in what she says.

BRAVA, Leslie!! 👏👏👏
What a phenomenal lesson in practicing patience, grace, and kindness even while holding firm to your integrity, commitment to preserving our liberties, and grounding in scientific evidence and objective reality.

Leslie, this writing states so much truth concerning our contemporary and engulfing culture, government, citizens and leaders. America is presently in a pickle for all of the reasons you have discussed. i can only thank you for being an indefatigable truth warrior and the HFDF work that you do. I am a periodic small donor to the fund and would like to encourage others to do the same. Like you, my wife (high school english teacher) and i stand up for the truth one person at a time and ask God daily for guidance and help in thankfully spreading his glory. God bless you and your work.

"They have become so persuaded by the mainstream narrative, fear porn and sensationalism that they genuinely believe those who have different views are actually enemies."
"Dehumanization of others is a crucial component of the psychological methods utilized against the populace to justify the persecution, segregation, abuse and genocide of human beings. It is perhaps the most insidious weapon deployed against the people in the past three years to ensure good people turn a blind eye to the suffering – and rights – of others."
Well, she's right about one thing.
We are the enemy.

I’d say she would be a great candidate to answer my “30 Questions for a Narrative Believer” (https://margaretannaalice.substack.com/p/30-questions-for-a-narrative-believer), but I know she’d just say, “Absolutely no interest.” 😂
