"Lowering the threshold on acceptable civilian casualties"

By Chris Rossini

America's drone program is such a disgrace. Military pilots sitting at computer screens obliterating other human beings on the other side of the world in video game fashion.

"America Needs to Negotiate Better Trade Deals."

By Gary North

A common cliché of protectionism is this one: the United States government needs to negotiate better deals for American companies.

It is time to call a spade a spade. This is fascism. Fascism is the economics of a government-business alliance. There should be no government-business alliance. The government should not be involved in business. Whenever government gets involved in business, it is always done to favor certain businesses at the expense of all the rest of them. It alway...

Namely, this woman below asked her ever-listening Amazon Echo device if it is connected to the CIA.

This week, I had the great pleasure of testifying before the Arizona State Senate Committee on Finance. The committee ended up passing a very important honest money bill (HB2014).

The testimony was followed by a grassroots rally on a beautiful day in the Arizona sunshine. The turnout and support was fantastic, and I invite you to watch both o...
