The division in America has become so dramatic over the past year that many people can only foresee it heading one place: Civil War. There’s a pronounced uptick in violence and protests (often going hand in hand.) Free speech is being crushed by the opposition with the mere threat of violent responses. Statues and memorials are being vandalized or defended. Protesters show up armed and armored, ready for battle. The media throws gasoline on these flames with reports solely laying the blame on one side. Some groups are openly planning sedition and no one is trying to stop them. Our country has … Continue reading →

“It is dangerous to be right in matters on which the established authorities are wrong.”  – Voltaire “If you offend the powers that be; if you offend the public health establishments; if you offend the pharmaceutical industry and threaten their bottom line (as we did by calling into question the safety of MMR [and later all the other vaccines that contain brain-toxic, mitochondrial-toxic and blood-brain barrier-toxic ingredients like aluminum and mercury – ed note]) there is no price that you will not pay. You will be destroyed in order to protect their bottom line.” – Dr Andrew Wakefield “Anything that … Continue reading →

“Lincoln is theology, not historiology. He is a faith, he is a church, he is a religion, and he has his own priests and acolytes, most of whom . . . are passionately opposed to anybody telling the truth about him . . . with rare exceptions, you can’t believe what any major Lincoln scholar tells you about Abraham Lincoln and race.”–Lerone Bennett, Jr., Forced into Glory, p. 114 The author of the above quotation, Lerone Bennett, Jr., was the executive editor of Ebony magazine for several decades, beginning in 1958. He is a distinguished African-American author of numerous books, including … Continue reading →

The Opioid epidemic is spreading across the heartland of America. The number of drug overdose deaths from both prescription (e.g., Oxycontin) and black market (e.g., heroin) opiates exceeded 30,000 in 2015. Initial estimates for 2016 indicate yet another new record of deaths. It is such an enormous problem that I taught a special class on it at our undergraduate instructional conference, Mises University, which you can listen to here. Recently the Commission on Combating the Opioid Crisis issued a preliminary report and recommended that the president declare a national emergency. From 2002 to 2015 the number of such deaths has increased by 280%. … Continue reading →

Since nobody in his right mind sympathizes with Nazis (of all people), everyone is cheering at the example being made of various organizations that are losing various online services essential to their survival. I am not suggesting that we must shed tears for these groups. Only that we be aware that there are people who have longed to shut down far more voices than just these obviously odious ones, and that we might want to keep a close eye as events continue to unfold. For example, a bunch of right-wing websites, including a 50-year-old Catholic publication I myself wrote for … Continue reading →

Here is a list of 14 warnings from Mr. Trump on how the U.S. government must get out of Afghanistan. On Monday, August 21, President Trump announced that he has reversed his previous plan to pull U.S. troops out of Afghanistan. His speech is here. Politicians know they can promise anything before they are elected, yet they can easily reverse course and suffer almost no lasting political damage. Their true believers, also known as schnooks, who voted for them will shrug their shoulders and not miss a beat. It doesn’t bother them at all. They get all hyped up during the election, … Continue reading →
