New Glossary Entry: The Incompetence Canard

A phrase I coined to explain the false notion that the reason the government does things that serve the opposite of its stated purpose is incompetence.

Captive Institutions

Yesterday I posted a great video in which an Irish writer, Gearoid O Colmain, reporting from France, explained beautifully what is happening in the world today. He really nails it and puts it succinctly, so I didn’t want to put a caveat on my endorsement of his report, but there is one thing that’s been rankling (more…)

Coercive Engineered Migration

I recently wrote an article called The Libertarian Immigration Conundrum in which I discuss how the state can use our principles of liberty to get us to lose control of government and end up with less free societies.

Paul Ryan Is Just Another Establishment Neo-Con…

Short, moving clip in remembrance of the Luby’s Massacre October 16, 1991

This clip of Luby’s Massacre survivor Suzanna Gratia Hupp testifying before Congress always chokes me up. Boy, does this chick nail it. The Second Amendment is not about duck hunting.
