Why the Income Tax Is Evil

All government intervention is bad, but the income tax is a particularly insidious form of evil. As the great libertarian theorist Frank Chodorov wrote in 1954: “With this definition of ‘evil’ in mind, it is the purpose of this book [The Income Tax: Root of All Evil] to show that many laws and governmental practices are impregnated with it, and to trace this wholesale infringement of our rights to the power acquired by the federal government in 1913 to tax our incomes—the Sixteenth Amendment.

I can’t believe Epstein killed himself right before he was about to be acquitted due to a complete lack of evidence.

What Underlies the Erosion of Trust in Modern Medicine?

One of my longstanding curiosities has been what universal laws govern the reality we inhabit, and I have gradually concluded one is “the law of equilibrium,” which states:

•Any process we observe is the product of competing forces balancing each other out to an equilibrium point.
•While it is sometimes possible to shift the equilibrium point (e.g., by mass poisoning the world with COVID vaccines), in most cases, systems will typically return to their equilibrium point.
•While the equilibrium so...

Beware the Priest as Clown

Clownishness reached new depths several months ago in the Philippines. Not the Bozo kind, the Catholic kind. Cardinal Antonio Tagle took to the stage, donning a chorus line outfit, microphone in hand, bobbing and swaying as he crooned John Lennon’s “Imagine.”

For those fortunate to have escaped the cultural junk-littered demi-monde of the ’60s and early ’70s, this song was a paean to the consolations of atheism. His Eminence held the Filipino Catholic crowd in thrall as they, too, swayed to this...

President Trump’s Renewal of America Has Gone Dramatically Wrong

Donald Trump attracted massive political support–the most we have seen any candidate attract in many years–because he said his aim was to restore America on its traditional values, the values that had made the United States a successful country. Instead of foreign wars, Trump promised restoration at home.

But everywhere we look Trump is enmeshed in foreign, not domestic, affairs.  Netanyahu is leading Trump into war with Iran. Trump sends Zelensky, not himself, to meet with Putin despite the fac...

The Rise of the Prison State: Trump’s Push for Megaprisons Could Lock Us All Up

“You think we’re arresting people now? You wait till we get the funding to do what we got to do.”—Tom Homan, Trump’s border czar

America is rapidly becoming a nation of prisons.

Having figured out how to parlay presidential authority in foreign affairs in order to sidestep the Constitution, President Trump is using his immigration enforcement powers to lock up—and lock down—the nation.

After all, a police state requires a prison state. And no one is cheering louder than the private prison corpor...

Memo to Iran: The Only Thing That Will Stop Bibi Is a Nuclear Bomb

The Iranians have proven beyond dispute that they are capable of delivering large-warhead hypersonic strikes with high accuracy. And while it remains to be seen how many of these top-shelf missiles they truly possess and what their rate of production is, the bottom line is that Iran has achieved a major strategic victory which carries a strong deterrence effect in its wake. With each passing month, the Iranians will grow stronger – and the Israelis will become more desperate to try to do somethi...

The Epstein List Is Dead- Long Live the Epstein List

The events of the past few days should have convinced any remaining doubters; our government is insufferably, indubitably corrupt. Tip of the hat to Leo Gorcey’s “Mugs” character on the old East Side Kids films for popularizing “indubitably.” It’s a good word. At any rate, these are real monsters, with less principles than mob bosses.

When Kash Patel and Dan Bongino, looking like terrified schoolboys in the principal’s office, insisted that Jeffrey Epstein actually did kill himself, Donald Trum...

The Birth Dearth

Is there a pernicious plot to depopulate the planet?

I don’t know.

But among global “elites”, political opportunists, and weather wackos, there’s a general consensus that there are too many people. Yet while much of “the West” frets about an influx of foreigners, most countries are culling themselves.

Around the globe…behind the scenes in plain sight…people are pruning their progeny. In ways subtle and sly, overt and obvious, we’re consistently nudged to reduce reproduction.

The propaganda is th...
