Clinton Still Insists She Sent No Classified Material on Private Server, Won’t Say Who Advised Her to Use It

I enjoy a long view of history and what I see as its goal. In the big picture, as I see it, there are many points of view but as a sum, there is one and only one reality, one comprehensive all-encompassing all-powerful existence, one self-authenticating Supreme Being. Such summary knowledge I hold by faith and with good reason because we can everywhere observe creation and its power as sufficient physical evidence of one Supreme Being. Observe how we know. Chronologically, in the conscious life experience of our own individual history and by means of our five senses, our physical … Continue reading

The Dinh Dynasty lasted only 12 years and ended in 980, but in the 20th century, there were around a dozen plays about one of the Dinh queens, Duong Van Nga. When I was a kid in Saigon in the 1970s, a folk opera about her could pack a theater night after night. In 2013, an elaborately produced 12-part series about Dinh Tien Hoang [Dinh the Celestial King] appeared on TV. Posted on YouTube, it has generated many comments. In 2015, a dorky, hour-long animated film was made about the king’s childhood. People remember as they should. Just about any … Continue reading

A guy was killed by his auto-piloted Tesla last week (new story here) and Uncle is looking into it. Of course, he won’t do anything about it. Because “if it saves even one life” is very selectively applied. It applies only when whatever the danger happens to be is something Uncle wants to use as an excuse to impose yet another mandate. Never to rescind one. See, for instance, air bags. Or – lately – cars that drive themselves. Uncle very much wants such cars and so is prepared to do nothing about their potential – and now actual – … Continue reading

This article, originally published in the December 1994, is collected in Lew Rockwell’s The Irrepressible Rothbard. For some time I have been hammering at the theme that the main cultural and political problem of our time is not “secular humanism.” The problem with making secularism the central focus of opposition is that, by itself, secularism would totally lack the fanaticism, the demonic energy, the continuing and permanent drive to take over and remake the culture and the society, that has marked the left for two centuries. Logically, one would expect a secular humanist to be a passive skeptic, ready to adapt … Continue reading

Originally published by AmmoLand.com. USA – People have asked me, “what is my responsibility to vet a buyer as an acceptable customer when conducting private firearm sales?” The answer to this has several parts. First, I am not an attorney, so consult with an attorney if you want a more licensed opinion. Second, let’s divide this question into five parts: Moral responsibility Responsibility under state law Responsibility under federal law Potential civil liability And practical matters. Moral Responsibility for Private Firearm Sales Current Prices on popular forms of Gold Bullion That’s easy. As a moral person and a responsible, law-abiding member … Continue reading

From the Archive: Militarist Bunkum, May 19, 2014 Did you know that 85 to 90 percent of war’s casualties are non-combatant civilians? That is the conclusion reached by a nine-person research team in the June 2014 issue of the American Journal of Public Health. The deaths of soldiers who are fighting the war are a small part of the human and economic cost. Clearly, wars do not protect the lives of civilians. The notion that soldiers are dying for us is false. Non-combatants are the main victims of war. Keep that in mind for July 4th, which is arriving in … Continue reading

What started out as a great Wednesday shortly turned into a bloody mess.  The short version of the story is that Shelly, aka the Survival Husband, decided to touch up his bald head with a dull razor blade.  What happened next was a scrape about one and a half inches long and a half-inch wide.  Who would have thought that so much blood could pour out of such a small wound. I grabbed some gauze to soak up what I could, then dabbed on some boo-boo stick followed by miracle slave.  While he held a clean piece of gauze in … Continue reading

The Eccles Building trotted out Vice-Chairman Stanley Fischer this morning. Apparently his task was to explain to any headline reading algos still tracking bubblevision that things are looking up for the US economy again and that Brexit won’t hurt much on the domestic front. As he told his fawning CNBC hostess:  “First of all, the U.S. economy since the very bad data we got in May on employment has done pretty well. Most of the incoming data looked good,” Fischer said. “Now, you can’t make a whole story out of a month and a half of data, but this is looking better than a tad before.” You … Continue reading

The post The Humpty-Dumpty Economy appeared first on LewRockwell.

It is all the government’s fault. It is always the government’s fault. Pretty much every bad thing is the government’s fault. The government mulcts almost half of the GDP if we count federal, state, county, and city taxes and fees. A significant proportion of these funds is then spent on further impoverishing the masses of our people with regulations, permits, licenses, compulsions, prohibitions and other requirements. As a result, our lives are much more miserable than otherwise would be the case. For example, dread diseases such as cancer, multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer’s might already have been solved if our wealth were … Continue reading

The two most beautiful words in the history of the world, and in any language, are “Molon Labe,” the accent on the second syllable of both words, the b pronounced v in the second. These two little words were the laconic response by King Leonidas of Sparta to the offer by the great Persian king Xerxes of not only safe passage if they lay down their arms, but also a settlement of lands of better quality than any they had possessed up to that time. You know what I’m talking about. The Hot Gates, or Thermopylae, in Greek. The year … Continue reading
