The issue revolving around the Trump administration’s intentional violation of an order of a federal judge to not deport a group of Venezuelan immigrants to El Salvador — and the Justice Department’s refusal to provide answers to questions posed by that judge about circumstances surrounding those deportations — does not revolve around whether a person […]
Statists are up in arms over President Trump’s decision to terminate the Voice of America and other U.S. government propaganda outlets that fall under the control of a federal entity called the U.S. Agency for Global Media. USAGM also encompasses Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty, Radio Free Asia, and Radio Martí. Statists are saying that these […]
Good for John Roberts, Chief Justice of the United States, for chastising President Trump and lecturing him on the principles of our constitutional judicial system. After federal judge James Boasberg issued a restraining order prohibiting federal officials from sending Venezuelan immigrants to El Salvador, Trump and his minions went on the attack against Boasberg. Trump […]
President Trump’s vicious and malicious rendition of immigrants to El Salvador is just one more reminder of what America’s immigration-control system is doing to our nation and to the values on which our nation was founded. The Fifth Amendment guarantees that no person shall be deprived of his liberty without due process of law. Due […]
It appears that President Trump and his minions may have knowingly, deliberately, and intentionally disobeyed an order of a U.S. District Judge regarding the deportation of hundreds of immigrants to El Salvador. Trump was rushing to fly the immigrants, who are suspected of being members of a Venezuelan gang that Trump has labeled a “terrorist” […]
As the Wall Street Journal has repeatedly emphasized, President Trump’s tariffs are dumb. Very dumb, not only because they damage people in the targeted country but also the American people.

Libertarian supporters of an “Ellis Island” type of immigration-control system are receiving a lesson in the fallacies of their system. They imagine an immigration-control system in which the federal government is vetting every foreigner and rejecting only the few “bad” ones. What they fail to understand is that once federal officials are given the power […]
For many decades, in their laments against illegal immigrants from Mexico, conservatives have repeatedly exclaimed, “Why doesn’t Mexico just get its economic house in order so that its citizens don’t have to ‘invade’ the United States to better their lives through labor?” While economic conditions in Mexico are not desperate, like in Cuba or Venezuela, […]
If you’re like me, you pace the floor every night worrying about the trade deficit between your state and other states. Why, I can’t tell you the number of nights I go sleepless every month worrying about the trade deficits between my state of Virginia and other states. For example, take Florida. I don’t know […]
It has now been two months since Donald Trump assumed the presidency. The question naturally arises: Where are those long-secret JFK Records that he repeatedly promised to release to the American people? Or to be more precise, why are those long-secret JFK records still secret? What’s up with the delay, President Trump? After all, it […]
