Why the JFK Assassination Should Matter to Everyone, Part 2

by Jacob G. Hornberger October 1, 2022

Part 1 | Part 2 When I finished reading Douglas Horne’s book Inside the Assassination Records Review Board, I knew that the Kennedy assassination could no longer legitimately be considered a “conspiracy theory.” Horne’s book pushed the assassination over the line by establishing beyond a reasonable doubt that the November 22, 1963, assassination was, in fact, a regime-change operation ...

Biden’s “Begging for Barrels” Saudi Disgrace

by James Bovard October 1, 2022

Why don’t you talk about something that matters?” President Biden replied to a journalist asking about why he fist-bumped Saudi dictator Mohammed bin Salman (MBS) during his “begging for barrels” trip to the Middle East in July. Biden hoped the Saudis would rescue his presidency by pumping more oil in order to lower American gasoline prices and prevent the ...

Two Agendas

by Laurence M. Vance October 1, 2022

Although the next U.S. presidential election is not until 2024, this is still an election year. Most candidates are running for state and local offices. On the national level, voters in the 50 states only vote for three offices. They select members of the House of Representatives by district for two-year terms, two senators for six-year terms, and, by ...

Liberalism, True and False

by Richard M. Ebeling October 1, 2022

The death of liberalism has been hailed or feared for well over a century now. In the United States, the tribal collectivists of identity politics and critical race theory insist that America has never been about freedom. It has always been a racist society born with the institution of slavery. The idea of liberal individualism is a ruse to ...

Why the JFK Assassination Should Matter to Everyone, Part 1

by Jacob G. Hornberger September 1, 2022

Part 1 | Part 2 As everyone knows, the term that is commonly used when the assassination of President John F. Kennedy is raised is “conspiracy theory!” It is a term that the CIA long ago advised its assets in the mainstream press to employ against people who were questioning or challenging the official narrative of the assassination. The ...

Thank Joe Biden for Your COVID-Positive Nurse

by James Bovard September 1, 2022

If you pick up a COVID infection during your next visit to a hospital or medical office, maybe send a thank-you card to President Biden. His COVID vaccine mandate was one of the most perverse public-health edicts in modern times. Vaccination status went from being a proxy for health to being a substitute for sane healthcare policy. Last September, Biden ...

Vouchers Are Not the Answer

by Laurence M. Vance September 1, 2022

The deadly shooting at an elementary school in Uvalde, Texas, earlier this year has Americans once again focusing on the dangers of the gun-free zones known as public schools. And if it is not a shooting, then it is acts of violence by students against other students or teachers or bullying and harassment by students that result in other ...

If America Were Totalitarian, Where Would You Want to Live?

by Richard M. Ebeling September 1, 2022

Suppose that one evening as the sun was setting and dusk was settling in, a strange mist fell over the United States that resulted in the entire population of the country, from the Atlantic to the Pacific, falling into a deep and restful sleep. Similarly, as evening settled in across the Russian Federation, the same type of mist enveloped ...

America’s Culture of Death

by Jacob G. Hornberger August 1, 2022

In the wake of another mass shooting, this one in Uvalde, Texas, there have been the standard, predictable calls for gun control. The idea is that if more stringent gun-control laws are enacted, there will be fewer mass shootings. That’s simply ludicrous reasoning. When a person wants to kill a lot of people, he is going to be able to ...

Lessons from Biden’s Disinformation Board Debacle

by James Bovard August 1, 2022

President Biden’s campaign to banish (or maybe outlaw) political paranoia took a wallop last spring. In April, the Department of Homeland Security proudly announced that it had created a new Disinformation Governance Board. The following month, the board’s chairman resigned, and Biden administration officials claimed the board was being “paused.” But it remains in the wings awaiting the White ...

It’s Up to Them

by Laurence M. Vance August 1, 2022

President Joe Biden has done it again. He’s committed another gaffe. But this comes as no surprise since he acknowledged during a stop on his book tour in 2018 that he was “a gaffe machine,” and has not stopped proving the truth of that statement ever since. In late December of last year, Biden spoke with state governors on a ...

Out of Control Government and Isaiah’s Job

by Richard M. Ebeling August 1, 2022

It is very difficult to be a classical liberal or libertarian and not experience bouts of disappointment, frustration, and outright pessimism. The world around us seems to be going to hell in a handbasket. Government continues to grow and, apparently, is out of control. For example, the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) released its semiannual Budget and Economic Outlook, 2022-2032 in ...
