A lawsuit challenging the registration requirement for “suppressors, short-barreled rifles, and short-barreled shotguns.” Absent the taxes, there is no statutory or regulatory vehicle for the registration process. “In 2025, Congress eliminated … Read more
And because they can. The American Republic is sometimes sold as 50 laboratories, each of which can try its own things as long as it doesn’t trample on the natural rights the Federal Government was created to protect. Yeah, I know. Anyway, we can see disasters in real time, and we still have to explain … Read more

Lost in much of the discussion about the current global deficit of crude oil is a new reality that had been brewing for some time even before the Iran Conflict began on March 1: The fact that OPEC — and its bigger sister, OPEC+ — has lost its teeth. Worse for its member nations, the … Read more
Jimmy Carter authored the single greatest foreign policy betrayal in modern human history.
