What Happened To Ron Paul Supporters In The Age of Trump

July 6, 2017
Politics

To understand what is currently going on in the minds of Ron Paul enthusiasts in the age of President Donald Trump, we must first understand what Paul represented as both a congressman and a presidential candidate. We must also understand that, at the height of Paul’s popularity during the 2012 presidential campaign, Paul’s appeal was

Congress Will Make Sure Taxpayers Keep Sending Money to Terrorists

July 3, 2017
Politics

One of the few elected Democratic lawmakers with an extensive anti-war record, Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-Hawaii), has combined forces with Sen. Rand Paul (R-Kentucky) to push legislation that would ban federal agencies from using taxpayer-backed funds to provide weapons, training, intelligence, or any other type of support to terrorist cells such as al-Qaeda, ISIS, or

The Only Fair Immigration Policy? None At All

February 2, 2017
Philosophy

The immigration debate is one of contention, hurt feelings, and misinformation. Groups defending different approaches often use faulty knowledge and divisive rhetoric, all while ignoring important points being made by both sides. As a result, truth and basic moral principles are ignored — by everyone. Especially those who mean well. As explained by Mises Institute’s

Awkward: Trump’s Wall Is A Progressive Policy

January 26, 2017
Economics

‘This Congress is going to be the busiest Congress in decades — maybe ever.’’ With these words, President Donald Trump urged fellow Republicans in Congress to help him halt illegal immigration by supporting his plan to build a United States-Mexico border wall. But a wall that isn’t erected by the private land owners bordering Mexican

Clinton’s Curtain Call Continues: Influence Peddling Scheme Goes Bust

January 16, 2017
Politics

The curtain fell on former First Lady Hillary Clinton’s political career. And with it, so did the Clinton Global Initiative.

According to the New York Observer and Fox, CGI is closing its main

Obama Failures Demand Universal Outrage, But Few Dare Speak Up

January 6, 2017
Politics

The country seems to be ready to burst into a civil war. But not over the 44th President of the United States and his legacy of war, abuse of power, and irresponsible health policies. Instead, media outlets seem to suggest that people are sick and tired of “Russian interference,” seeing President-elect Donald Trump as a

Snowflake Generation: It’s Not Political Until It’s Personal

January 3, 2017

“There’s too much ‘presentism’ right now.” Or so says Camille Paglia, the fearless academic whose views on biology and modern culture can be called anything but trendy. Ignoring the realities of man and man’s history has been a feature in modern academia. A problem for students who are willing to engage in honest and open

Pretense of Knowledge: The Democrats’ Fatal Conceit

December 27, 2016
Politics

Accepting the Nobel prize in Economic Sciences, late Austrian economist Friedrich Hayek admitted that, as a profession, economists “have made a mess of things.” He was referring to the modern economist’s reliance on a pretense of knowledge. Believing economics is a physical science and that outcomes can be predicted with precision, these economists often bet

Buried in Paperwork, Doctors Have No Time for Patients

December 22, 2016
Politics

As the saying goes, one stitch in time saves nine. But while physicians know this to be true, they often run out of time — and patience — to focus on their patients. Unfortunately, that’s frequently due to bureaucracy. At least that’s what this new study published in the Annals of Internal Medicine has taught

Progressives As the New Puritans

December 19, 2016
Philosophy/Politics

In Puritan America, only church members were allowed to vote in political elections. In progressive America, talking heads want the executive branch represented only by Democrats. To those willing to participate in the political aspect of their communities at the time, adhering to pure doctrine was the only way in. And candidates were only accepted

‘Hate Spaces’: The Need for Real Choice in Education

During a book-signing event, English author and self-styled atheist Philip Pullman was asked to comment on the “shocking” title of his then-new book: “The Good Man Jesus and the Scoundrel Christ.” “Yes,” Pullman answered, “it’s a shocking thing to say.

Arrogance, a Trademark of the Clinton Camp

December 15, 2016
Politics

Politico’s dossier on how Hillary Clinton lost Michigan to President-elect Donald Trump is complete with anecdotes from the grassroots, who often felt that the top Democrat and her minions couldn’t care less about them. Arrogance, it seems, was a trademark of the Clinton campaign. And the consequence of this flagrant disregard for the base was

Turning Health into a ‘Right’ Makes Open Access Impossible

December 13, 2016

Unlike popular belief, direct democracy started long before politicians associated with the military wing of Brazilian politics lost its battle over the hearts and souls of locals. But in the late 1980’s, the last vestiges of military rule had been wiped out. But not their policies of hyperinflation. But as a new constitution was drafted,

Joy Behar Is Free to Hate on Trump, So Why Can’t Women Hate Clinton?

On Friday, “The View” host and comedian Joy Behar asked co-hosts why does she “have to be so nice” about President-elect Donald Trump. “If [Republicans] didn’t like Obama, it was about his politics,” she added. “[Trump] is about what he said,” and because of that, Joy vowed to be “the thorn in his side as

The Individualist Nature of Anne Sexton’s ‘Live or Die’

December 8, 2016
Culture

Traditionally, the word individualism was associated with a philosophy that contends that individuals are free, therefore granted with the ability to choose their goals and the path they shall take to meet these goals. Man, by nature, is one. Being coerced into acting according to what a group of men see as a fitting goal

Trump As Antidote to Partisan Favoritism

December 7, 2016

In America, a song by The Strokes’ lead singer Julian Casablancas explains, “cities come together to hate each other in the name of sport.” In politics, the sentiment is very similar — if not identical. Too often, people who identify either as conservative or liberal will bring up examples of politicians involved in wrongdoing that

‘Economics is Hard’: Groupthink is Why We’re in Such Bad Shape

December 6, 2016

In Principles of Economics, Carl Menger corrected the theoretical mistakes made by the old classical school. At the time, the founder of the Austrian School of economics seemed to want to make economics accessible to everyday people, which may explain why he exemplified the nature of economic value in his book, making sure readers understood

President Barack Obama might be on his way out, but the media’s relentless favoritism remains unchecked. In a recent interview for Rolling Stone, exiting Commander in Chief Obama told reporters he believes current federal marijuana laws are “untenable.” Adding that, while he has always stood by the notion that substance abuse should always be discouraged,

Populism Always Wins: Why Libertarians Must Take Notice

Populism, the Austrian economist and academic vice president of the Mises Institute Joseph Salerno wrote, is nothing by a strategy. It may be applied by individuals advancing both left- and right-wing ideologies, but it is seldom used by those with the right ideas. Due to its historic connection to ideologies that led to war, mass

Tulsi Gabbard for Trump Administration? Why the Right Should Cheer

November 22, 2016

Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-HI) — the first Hindu member of the U.S. House of Representatives — is known for standing for principles over party loyalty. A quality lacking in most of her colleagues.
