Blaming the National Rifle Association for the Parkland shootings is an attempt at deflecting blame, writes Glen Reynolds in USA Today. Much like Harvey Weinstein’s promise “to give the NRA my full attention,” after Harvey was exposed as a sexual predator, Broward County Sheriff Israel is offering the same. “It didn’t work for Weinstein and […]
The “Do Something” Syndrome
Does the federal government’s “inexorable bloat” make it a clear and present danger to the American people?” That is a question for public safety as well as a question for politics in America, writes Dan Henninger in the WSJ. The number of catastrophic events attributable in no small part to federal-agency failure in recent years […]

How Tiny Switzerland Faced Down Hitler and The Nazis: Part II
“The full extent of the Nazi threat to Switzerland during World War II has never been adequately acknowledged.

Top Ten States for Making Money
Yesterday I reviewed per capita personal incomes by state from 1990 to 2012 as reported by the Bureau of Economic Analysis. That’s a long enough time-frame to eliminate any outliers.

American policymakers use the U.S. military too promiscuously, and even as promiscuity goes, too stupidly. They do so because they face few impediments to doing so, and a number of powerful inducements. If you’re interested in creating more impediments, or removing some of the inducements, you get desperate. Desperate enough to consider how conscription would […]

Let’s see, special agents at the IRS are equipped with AR-15 military style weapons? The Department of Veterans Affairs is arming 3,700 employees? The Food and Drug Administration employs 183 heavily armed “special agents.” The EPA spending $3.1 million on guns, ammunition and military-style equipment? Tom Coburn, former senator from Oklahoma, asks in the WSJ, […]
