Financial privacy is a right under the Constitution, as is free speech. Under the guise of “credit review,” Stripe is now rolling out a requirement that appears to target conservative or “anti-vax” Substack authors.

The excuse that this regime is better than it was, or might otherwise have been, only lasts so long. Every transition government in history has deployed that trope. Think the Girondins in France, Kerensky in Russia, Weimar in Germany, the Second Spanish Republic, Chiang Kai-shek in China, and so on. In order, they were replaced … Read more

Much is said and known about federal government overreach. But unfortunately, very few understand that this overreach is out of control in many states as well.

Everyone likes to be flattered by being called “great,” especially Donald Trump. Equally as flattering is to have one’s entire country called “great” if not “the greatest,” “exceptional,” or “indispensable.” Or perhaps even “a shining city on a hill,” reminiscent of “The Emerald City” of The Wizard of Oz. In the political world, however, there are … Read more
One of the reasons the American political establishment really hates it when Trump is president is that his administration has a tendency to bring out and exaggerate dynamics at play in Washington, DC that the establishment would prefer to keep hidden.

Last week’s dramatic blowout between President Trump and his one-time top collaborator Elon Musk was shocking yet predictable.

On the campaign trail, … Read more

Mutzig, France – First stop on my annual visit to France’s mighty Maginot Line forts is this lovely Alsatian town. Mutzig was built by the Germans 1893-1916 to defend against enemy approaches to the important city of Strasbourg. It was – and remains – the largest modern fortress in Europe.

In … Read more
