Trump Aims to End America’s “Global Mission” Says Cato Institute’s Chris Preble
America has unofficially been tasked with the defense of its allies for nearly seven decades.

Is it “Groundhog Day” in Afghanistan?
In the 1993 film Groundhog Day, Bill Murray’s character, Phil Connors asks Ralph (played by Rick Overton) “What would you do if you were stuck in one place and every day was exactly the same, and nothing that you did mattered?” That about sums up the situation in Afghanistan vis a vis the fight against […]
Eric Holder Let Lois Lerner Slip Through the Cracks
Last week former Attorney General Eric Holder hinted that he might run for president in 2020.

I am a major proponent of The Swiss Way, meaning local control, with a weak federal government, and international neutrality. But that doesn’t mean everything is perfect in Switzerland.
