The most profound and ominous aspect of the controversy surrounding the deportation of Kilmar Ábrego García to El Salvador is that the Trump administration has figured out a way to circumvent the right of habeas corpus, not just for foreigners but also for the American people. Why is that important? Because without habeas corpus, a […]
President Trump might have inadvertently come up with the perfect solution to America’s decades-old, ongoing, never-ending, perpetual immigration crisis. That solution entails making America so ugly that foreigners will longer want to come here. After all, that’s what North Korea did. Like the United States, North Korea militarized and sealed its southern border, established a […]
Ever since I founded The Future of Freedom Foundation, I have never lost hope of achieving a genuinely free society in my lifetime. By “genuine” I do not mean reforming and improving the the welfare-warfare state, which has come to be defined as “freedom” within conservative and right-wing libertarian circles. By “genuine” I mean the […]
Immediately after launching his trade war, President Trump surrendered to the “enemy.” Well, okay, it wasn’t a complete surrender.

The pundits are having a difficult time understanding how President Trump would fulfill his expressed desire to serve a third term as president. Some of them have fallen back on the possibility that he is joking and just trolling his critics. Others have come up with unlikely scenarios for achieving a third term. For example, […]
For many Americans, it is an article of faith that a vast and powerful federal government equals a great and strong nation. Actually, it’s the exact opposite. The more powerful the federal government, the weaker the nation. Contrariwise, the smaller and weaker the federal government, the more powerful the nation. Part of the problem here […]
It’s not difficult to understand why the mainstream media failed and refused to investigate the JFK assassination. To understand the reason, just think about how Columbia University and the big law firms Paul, Weiss and Skadden Arps have capitulated after being subjected to pressure from President Trump. Why wouldn’t the mainstream media behave in the […]
