There were plenty of surprises in last week’s presidential debate. For one, Americans who rely on the mainstream media for their news learned that they had been lied to for the past three years about President Biden’s capability to do the job he was elected to do.The realization that the media has been lying for years about Biden is a positive development, as, hopefully, thoughtful Americans might begin wondering what else the media has been lying...

The Absurdity of “Open Borders”
Some libertarians argue that libertarianism requires support for “open borders,” but this is a mistake. “Open borders” is the view in the existing world of states, the state ought to admit as many people who want to come to the United States as possible. Of course, you don’t have the right to occupy property that is privately owned. But much of the property in the United States is “public,” which means that it is up to those who run the state to...

The ATF Has Resumed Openly Murdering Americans
Many people who know anything about the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (BATFE, or ATF for short) will know they started off as a “harmless” tax collecting agency that eventually turned into a law enforcement agency in its own right. In other words, they evolved from a bunch of glorified robbers with mechanical calculators and spreadsheets into a gang of violent thugs with guns and badges. This transformation became obvious to...

The State Does Not Create Value-Enhancing Jobs
For quite a considerable amount of time, the topics of job creation and unemployment have been central to every political campaign in almost every country. It hasn’t been without good reason, either, since job security is one of the most important factors in someone’s career. Therefore, a candidate who can promise to create more jobs and sustain job growth would appear on paper to be the better candidate. However, there are few policies that...

Defending Gaza (II): Israel Indicted, Palestinians Validated In Fact, Law & Hoppean Argumentation
Israel is engaged in the mother of all performative contradictions: denying genocide, while committing genocide, all the while demanding the right to genocide.The Jewish State is genocidal not because it has been denounced as “genocidal” by ostensible “antisemites” and “terrorist sympathizers,” but by virtue of its actions. Israel is genocidal by virtue of what it has done to Gaza, the people and their land.Shortly after October 7, 2023,...

Julian Assange, the Chevron Doctrine, and the Case against Pessimism
Last week was an excellent week. On the night of Monday, June 24, news broke that Julian Assange had entered into a plea agreement with the United States government. Less than forty-eight hours later, after being in various forms of confinement for twelve years for publishing classified material the United States government didn’t want the public to know about, he landed in his home country of Australia as a free man.After spending years working to...

From Milk Runs to MAD to Madness
There are no secrets about the world of nature. There are secrets about the thoughts and intentions of men.—J. Robert OppenheimerNo big deal, it was just “a milk run.”So remarked Paul Tibbets Jr., pilot of the Enola Gay, a United States B-29 Superfortress, describing his trip to Hiroshima, Japan, on August 6, 1945. His cargo that early morning was an atomic bomb called “Little Boy,” which bombardier Major Thomas Ferebee released when the plane was...

Public Schools Pushing Moral Standards Isn’t New
Last month the governor of Louisiana signed several pieces of legislation related to education. The most controversial bill is LA HB71. This law requires all public K-12 schools in Louisiana to accept any monetary donations towards or displays of the Mayflower Compact, the Declaration of Independence, the Northwest Ordinance, and the Ten Commandments. The media is running wild with this story, as if this is the first time that public schools are...

Varying Interpretations of Truth, or Truth as a Social Construct
In this age of relativism, where one often hears reference to “your truth” and “my truth,” there are so many varying interpretations of truth that the concept of truth itself seems devoid of meaning. It is fashionable to see the concept of truth as indistinguishable from opinions or preferences. For example, Mari Fitzduff writes thatfor many of us, far from our beliefs being “true,” they are actually born out of a particular social context, allied...
