Twenty-six years ago today, an FBI sniper killed Vicki Weaver as she stood in her cabin door holding her baby. That sniper was never held liable for gunning down that mother on a north Idaho mountaintop. As a result, Americans continue to be imperiled by federal agents’ license to kill. Below are some articles I […]
On July 4 twenty-two years ago, I riled up folks at the Libertarian National Convention. I talked about the EEOC’s war on Hooters, House Speaker Newt Gingrich’s pig paranoia, zoning idiocy, and other boondoggles.

My Hill oped, “Fed’s misconduct in Cliven Bundy case stems from Ruby Ridge,” has spurred more than 600 comments. Some commenters mistakenly asserted that the Bundys or their supporters had fired upon the feds. Didn’t happen – but that assumption sufficed to justify advocating preemptively killing many people.
