Congress voter fraud cyber security

Something is rotten in the state of our electronic voting practices. They are recklessly wandering toward online voting despite their high vulnerable to hacking and manipulation by cyberspace clowns, partisans, enemies, or all three.

President Donald Trump would show genius by stopping our military caper in Syria that was stupidly and unconstitutionally begun by President Barack Obama without a congressional declaration of war.

EpiPen maker Mylan firefighter not fire

The mainstream media routinely mistakes the firefighter for the fire. Emblematic has been the frenzy over the consumer cost of Mylan's EpiPen(r) Auto-Injectors to treat life-threatening allergic reactions.

EPA renewable fuel standards burden small refiners

Something is rotten in the Environmental Protection Agency's regulatory matrix governing the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) mandated by Energy Policy Act of 2005. The RFS was designed to diminish petroleum imports and carbon dioxide emissions. But it imposes a punishing and fraud-ridden burden on small fuel manufacturers.

Liberal Trump hysteria, Salem witch trials

Liberal hysteria over President Donald Trump's legally impeccable international disengagements has surpassed the hysteria that fueled the Salem Witch Trials. But there is no Arthur Miller among the contemporary glitterati to dramatize the frenzy.

Paris Climate Accord was no treaty

The mainstream media has tortured the truth in reporting on President Donald Trump's renunciation of the 2015 Paris Climate Agreement. It's been called a treaty, but it was nothing of the sort. Instead, it was a unilateral act by President Obama that had no basis in the U.S. Constitution.

Obama vandalized Fourth Amendment

The Fourth Amendment's barriers to unreasonable searches and seizures don't get the attention the First Amendment does, but they're at least as important as a guarantee of liberty.

Trump follow Reagan, exit Somalia

President Donald Trump should terminate the co-belligerency of the United States with Somalia in its war against Al Shabab. Its government is clannish, illegitimate, and staggeringly corrupt. it has the ignominy of having been listed as the most corrupt nation in the world by Transparency International for 10 consecutive years. And it is irrelevant to the national security of the United States.

A primer on special prosecutors

- The Washington Times

Special prosecutors enjoy more or less autonomy within the Executive Branch to provide public confidence that their investigatory and prosecutorial decisions will not be compromised by a conflict-of-interest.

Attorney General Jeff Sessions should appeal BMI music case

Attorney General Jeff Sessions has been lobbied furiously by music industry behemoths to refrain from appealing a wayward decision of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York in United States of America v. BMI (September 16, 2016). It threatens ready public access to popular copyrighted music at competitive prices.

Border adjustment and the Constitution

Reasonable people may disagree about the wisdom of a "border adjustment" policy that promotes Buy America. But there can be no reasonable dispute that a federal public policy of Buy America enshrined in the federal tax or tariff code would pass constitutional scrutiny.

Trump’s risk-free escape from Afghanistan quagmire

President Donald Trump inherited a 15-year-old unwinnable, unconstitutional war in Afghanistan. At its high-water mark, the war was hemorrhaging dollars at a staggering rate of $128 billion per annum, or more than $300 million per day.

Let’s make a deal … over North Korea

As the drumbeats for war with North Korea grow louder, it's time to imagine a peaceful solution to the crisis that would appeal to the author of "The Art of the Deal." There's room for a bargain with China in which it would effectively police its client state, in return for American give-ups that we'd be better off without.
