Hundreds of thousands of people marched in New York City yesterday to protest climate change. Many protestors carried signs denouncing capitalism for “killing the planet.” Similar claims were made in the 1980s – and they inspired me to snoop behind the Iron Curtain to document the environmental ravages of East Bloc socialism. Those regimes […]

Podcast with Brian Wilson on Syria, Iraq, and Damn Political Rascals
Libertarian talk show hellraiser Brian Wilson had me on his Libertas Media Project show yesterday and the podcast is now live online. We had fun paying respects to Obama, expressing “shock and awe” over the president’s ISIS solution, and feigning wonderment at the continued conning of the American people. You can listen to the show by […]
Cartoon Obliterates Obama’s War on ISIS Fantasy
Obama’s “war” against ISIS has as much chance of succeeding as he has of finding unicorns to join his anti-ISIS “coalition.” Washington Post cartoonist Tom Toles beautifully captures the absurd premise underlying Obama’s latest war. Perhaps most of the members of the House of Representatives who voted to support the “war” yesterday are simply clueless about the […]

Obama declared: “Our Constitution… secures the privileges we enjoy as citizens, but also demands participation, responsibility, and service to our country and to one another.” But […]
Obama Reincarnates Nixon in Hustling a “Used War”

As Obama unleashes the bombs on Iraq and on Syria, we are back to the same pointless killing that defined the George W. Bush administration. I hope that more of the folks who courageously […]
Bombing Syria: Still Crazier Than Hell
I am appalled to see the Obama administration charging blindly and dragging America into another war in Syria. ISIS looks like a bunch of prize bastards but that is pretty much par for that part of the world. I have seen no evidence that selective U.S. bombing will beget a new Garden of Eden in that […]
My First Piece after 9/11: Dangers of Trusting Government
Last week was the 13th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks. Reposted below is the first piece I had published after that attack. George Neumayr was the IBD editor who accepted the piece; George is now a contributing editor at American Spectator. (Still can’t understand why the New York Times op-ed page didn’t jump when I […]
