While enjoying some Saturday afternoon college football, I was treated to about a dozen reruns of a commercial produced by the Department of Veteran Affairs (VA). Let me paint the scene for you. A lone figure rests upon his pickup truck beside a lone oak upon a ridge in an otherwise rolling green prairie. The sky is a canvas of orange and purple
If you take an hour drive down the I-65 corridor south from Nashville, Tennessee, you’ll find yourself in Columbia. My hometown isn’t quite as sleepy of a southern town as it used to be, much to my chagrin, but it’s still home nonetheless.

In the summer of 1945, President Harry Truman found himself searching for a decisive blow against the Empire of Japan.

The list of companies, whose simultaneity was surely a coincidence, is quite impressive: Facebook, Apple, YouTube, Spotify, Vimeo,
Mientras disfrutaba de un partido de fútbol universitario el sábado por la tarde, vi una docena de repeticiones de un anuncio producido por el Departamento de Asuntos de los Veteranos (VA). Permítanme describirles la escena. Una figura solitaria descansa sobre su camioneta junto a un roble solitario en una cresta de una pradera verde y ondulada.
Si usted toma una hora en coche por el corredor de la I-65 al sur de Nashville, Tennessee, se encontrará en Columbia. Mi ciudad natal no es tan adormecida como solía serlo, para mi disgusto, pero sigue siendo un hogar. La sede del condado de Maury, Columbia, tiene un puñado de reivindicaciones a la fama para salvarse de ser una completa ocurrencia
En mayo de 2018, el Representante Eric Swalwell (D-CA) escribió una columna de opinión para USA Today en la que solicitó aumentos significativos en el control de armas, luego del asesinato de Gary Jackson, un guardia de seguridad de 28 años de Oakland, California cuyo asesino estaba armado con un “rifle de asalto semiautomático estilo AK-47”.
En el verano de 1945, el presidente Harry Truman se encontró a sí mismo en busca de un golpe decisivo contra el Imperio de Japón. A pesar de las muchas victorias aliadas durante 1944 y 1945, Truman creyó que el emperador Hirohito instaría a sus generales a seguir luchando.

What is the Mises Institute?
The Mises Institute is a non-profit organization that exists to promote teaching and research in the Austrian School of economics, individual freedom, honest history, and international peace, in the tradition of Ludwig von Mises and Murray N. Rothbard.
Non-political, non-partisan, and non-PC, we advocate a radical shift in the intellectual climate, away from statism and toward a private property order. We believe that our foundational ideas are of permanent value, and oppose all efforts at compromise, sellout, and amalgamation of these ideas with fashionable political, cultural, and social doctrines inimical to their spirit.
