World War I is the gift that just keeps on giving. Although the U.S. government’s intervention into this senseless, immoral, and destructive war occurred 100 years ago, the adverse effects of the war continue to besiege our nation. Among the most notable examples is the Espionage Act, a tyrannical law that was enacted two months after the U.S.
While Republicans continue to profess their opposition to socialism, their love of socialism is being demonstrated in the healthcare arena. Do you remember when they were campaigning for control over Congress and the presidency with full-throated calls to repeal Obamacare? Not anymore. According to an article in the Washington Post, Republicans
The mainstream pro-Biden media is poking fun at Donald Trump’s suggestion that there could be fraud involved in the post-election receipt of mail-in ballots. Apparently they’re not familiar with the election-theft case of Lyndon Johnson, who would go on to become president of the United States. The entire matter is detailed in Robert Caro’s second
It is amazing to me that President Trump has pardoned some people whom he considered heroic while continuing to leave Julian Assange and Edward Snowden, two genuine heroes, in the lurch. Assange, of course, is getting the worst of it, given the brutal conditions under which US and British officials have incarcerated him in England. But it still

The unbelievable hatred that Democrats, liberals, progressives, and the mainstream press have toward President Trump continues to consume them, with the latest manifestation being a second impeachment of President Trump, just a few days
CNN Business reports that Exxon, which was the world’s largest company in 2013, is today being kicked out of the Dow. As CNN Business puts it, “Exxon is now a shell of its former self.” The company is losing money and its “market value has crumbled by a staggering $267 billion from the peak.” What? That’s not possible! Haven’t we always been
April 30 was the anniversary date when North Vietnamese forces forced U.S. officials to exit Vietnam, much to their chagrin. That was after some 58,000 American men had died for nothing, not to mention the tens of thousands of injured American soldiers and the millions of Vietnamese who were killed or injured as a result of U.S. intervention in
In the recent criminal prosecutions of Donald Trump and Hunter Biden, prosecutors and others emphasized that “no one is above the law.” Really? No one? How about retired Lt. Gen. James R. Clapper, Jr.? When he was serving as the Director of National Intelligence, he got caught lying under oath to Congress after he falsely denied that “the NSA was
No es sorprendente que los derechistas estén celebrando la decisión de la Corte Suprema de declarar inconstitucionales las políticas de discriminación positiva en las universidades americanas. En el proceso, los conservadores no reconocen que, al mismo tiempo, están celebrando una mayor destrucción de la libertad americana y de los derechos de
Los Estados Unidos y otros países están debatiendo si admitir a Ucrania en la OTAN, lo que, por supuesto, prácticamente garantizaría una guerra nuclear total entre los Estados Unidos y Rusia. Yo tengo una idea mejor: Desmantelar este viejo dinosaurio de la Guerra Fría o, como mínimo, los Estados Unidos debería retirarse de ella, lo que sin duda
What is the Mises Institute?
