National Security Adviser Michael Flynn has resigned from the Trump administration after details were uncovered proving he lied to Vice President Pence about his discussions with the Russian ambassador to the United States. Flynn has a history of hawkish stances toward Iran, and was a proponent of the miserably failed counterinsurgency strategy in Iraq. His […]
Look What Happens When You Starve the Government Beast
Dan Mitchell, a senior fellow at the Cato Institute, has developed a Golden Rule for starving the government beast. His common sense, easily remembered Golden Rule for government fiscal policy is, “The private sector should grow faster than the government.” Simple right?

Merry: What Kind of Country do Americans Want?
Robert W. Merry shines a laser on the most important point of the immigration debate, what kind of country do Americans want to have?

Excuse for Scandal in France Is What Happens When Taxes are Too High
Early front-runner in the race for President of France, Francois Fillon, has been hit by a scandal involving using government funds to employ his wife and children as “parliamentary aides.” The problem is that no one remembers them doing any work for Fillon’s office.

Former head of the CIA’s bin Laden unit, Michael Scheuer calls the elites of the Western world can never solve the problem of radical Islam and suggests instead exiting the Arab world to preserve America.

Cato Institute’s Michael Cannon is ‘THE Man’ on Obamacare
My long time friend Michael Cannon is the director of health policy studies at Cato Institute. I recently had an opportunity to catch up with Michael at Cato’s packed house conclave at the Ritz Naples.
