Is Tax Reform Libertarian?
11
Dec
The Republicans in the House and Senate have passed their tax bills. Because they have some notable differences, they will have to be reconciled so a final version can be sent to President Trump for his signature. Liberals, predictably, have generally condemned both bills even as conservatives, predictably, have generally commended them. Libertarians have weighed in as well, but unfortunately, not always from a libertarian perspective. What makes tax reform libertarian? Before addressing this question, we need to briefly review the libertarian view of taxation. The libertarian view of taxation is simply that taxes should not exist because taxation is … ”

The FBI, Hillary and Her Server
11
Dec
At a holiday party yesterday, I met the owner of a high-tech company who has been involved in the sector for more than 20 years. He told me about his career and when he decided to create his own firm ten years ago. We got around to talking about Hillary’s email server. Fred (not his real name) said the FBI could have retrieved her 33,000 emails that were deleted, but did not, because he believes the Bureau was protecting her.
The FBI has become a political agency, not an objective investigate arm of the Justice Department. The Congress should commence a special investigative unit to get to the bottom of the FBI’s role in whitewashing Hillary’s wiping her email server.
Where are the investigative journalists?
We deserve the truth. What did Hillary wipe clean from her server, and why did the FBI bunlge the investigation.

Trump’s Lop-Sided Crusade
09
Dec
“The US has maintained the fiction for decades of being an even-handed mediator between Israel and the Palestinians. This week, President Donald Trump finally junked this tired, old canard by agreeing to move the US Embassy to Jerusalem from its current headquarters in Tel Aviv. There was huge symbolism in this move that met with universal condemnation. It means the US is abandoning any chance of a two-state solution, which was the original UN plan for Palestine. Henceforth, Palestinians will subsist in a Jewish unitary state as a powerless, restive underclass. Washington is violating international law, the 1993 Oslo Accords,…”
