In \u201cLast Rights,\u201d he shows how the government, often under the color of law, has trampled the rights of citizens. Covering topics including asset forfeiture, government schools, the DEA, the FBI, the Covid response debacle, police misconduct, unaccountable unelected government bureaucrats, the TSA, government subsidies, warrantless searches, and government secrecy and censorship, he documents how the Constitution is routinely violated, especially the first, second, fourth, and fifth amendments. In addition, the book explains how the American people are now divided into two groups \u2013 those who have political power (and immunity), and the rest of us. In politicians\u2019 pursuit of power, the civil and constitutional rights of citizens are mere inconveniences.<\/p>\n<p><strong>If the people don\u2019t wake up, it could be last rites for American liberty.&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Buy the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Last-Rights-Death-American-Liberty\/dp\/B0CP9VCNDH\/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&amp;qid=&amp;sr=\"><strong>book here: <\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/jimbovard.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Screenshot-2023-12-01-at-15-55-37-9798988403180-LastRights-Hardcover-Eproof.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-18778\" src=\"https:\/\/jimbovard.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Screenshot-2023-12-01-at-15-55-37-9798988403180-LastRights-Hardcover-Eproof.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"463\" height=\"665\" srcset=\"https:\/\/jimbovard.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Screenshot-2023-12-01-at-15-55-37-9798988403180-LastRights-Hardcover-Eproof.jpg 463w, https:\/\/jimbovard.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Screenshot-2023-12-01-at-15-55-37-9798988403180-LastRights-Hardcover-Eproof-104x150.jpg 104w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 463px) 100vw, 463px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Brian Lewis is a former jet pilot and star tuba player for the Ohio State marching band.
