Over the past few years, more people have taken to the highways than they have to the air for Thanksgiving and Christmas.  Even if you are not going on a driving trip, getting your vehicle ready for winter is essential in most areas. Many people prefer the family time of the road trip, vehicles are much more comfortable for traveling these days, and people like the freedom of being able to go somewhere once they reach their destination. Let’s face it, flying has gotten to be a real hassle over the last decade, even with gas prices being up and down. … Continue reading →

The obvious question in the San Bernardino mass shootings in December 2015 was this: “Does the ballistics evidence at the murder scene show that the alleged shooters’ weapons were involved?” I asked this ten days after the shootings. The Washington Post reported this: Agents from the FBI, Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s Homeland Security Investigations and the ATF headed to the scene of the shooting to aid local law enforcement, authorities said.The 10 special agents from the ATF included ballistics experts and explosive specialists as well as two explosive detection canines, said Meredith K. Davis, an ATF special agent. We are still waiting for the … Continue reading →

The post Las Vegas as San Bernardino II appeared first on LewRockwell.

The media says, “Jump.” And the public responds in unison, “How high?” “As high as you ever have jumped before, except maybe after 9/11, or the Kennedy assassination.” Of course, when there is news, it should be reported. Today it is reported sensationally, as entertainment. Is it meant to inform, or induce? Which came first, the media’s obsession with violence, or the public demand for violence? In the 1990’s as violent crime in America dropped, the media filled more and more time slots with stories about violence. Buy Silver at Discounted Prices By the end of the 90’s the public … Continue reading →

Once again, the unpredictable and uncontrollable forces of chaos have revealed themselves, this time in Las Vegas, a city that thrives on the unforeseeable nature of gambling. As we have come to expect, members of the mainstream media, politicians, and other apostles for the established order, were quick to remind Boobus Americanus not to lose faith in the power of political systems to bring mankind to order. Again, we hear the endless recitation of the mantra that follows the failures of political intervention to achieve its promised expectations: “we will find out what went wrong and fix it so this … Continue reading →

Here we go again. The United States has been rattled to the core by an unspeakable act of evil perpetrated by a hater of humanity. A quiet, wealthy loner rented a hotel suite in Las Vegas, armed it with shooting platforms and automatic weapons, knocked out two of the windows, and shot at innocents 32 floors below. Fifty-nine people were murdered, and 527 were injured. The killer used rifles that he purchased legally and altered illegally. He effectively transformed several rifles that emit one round per trigger pull and present the next round in the barrel for immediate use (semiautomatics) … Continue reading →

[Originally published in 2003 as “Cobden on Freedom, Peace, and Trade,” a prize-winning essay in the Independent Institute’s Olive W. Garvey Fellowship contest.] Every student of political economy knows that Adam Smith dealt mercantilist economic ideas a profound intellectual defeat in The Wealth of Nations (1776). The mercantilist had viewed economic interaction as a zero-sum game — that is, the benefit of one party had to come at the expense of the other. Sound economic policy, therefore, involved encouraging a favorable balance of trade (an excess of exports over imports), the acquisition of colonies, and the construction of a powerful navy to secure and … Continue reading →

This article originally appeared on: Russian Faith, a new website with news about the Christian renaissance in Russia.  “The European Union, when writing its constitution, declined to mention its Christian heritage even in the preamble of the document.” “I firmly believe that a Europe which has renounced Christ will not be able to preserve its cultural and spiritual identity.” Hilarion is a very prominent and influential leader of the Russian church. He is one of the top 3-4 church leaders in Russia, the ‘foreign minister’ of the Russian Church, responsible for its relations with other churches and countries. Participating in a London conference on the … Continue reading →
