Happy "Constitution Day" ! - when politicians pretend to honor a document they usually treat the way a dog greets a hydrant.

From the Tom Woods Letter:
Pradeep Shanker is a contributor to National Review, and as a contributor to National Review it is his job to come down on the left-wing side of all the big issues.
I'm sure Shanker knows and will defend obvious things like price controls lead to shortages. He'll defend tame enough ideas like that.
But if the subject turns to something truly momentous, which touches on topics we have been told are settled forever, he will dutifully comply.

Ce n'est pas pour rien que l'on qualifie l'économie de "science lugubre". On constate - depuis que Thomas Carlyle a inventé ce terme en 1849 (en s'opposant à l'émancipation des esclaves noirs des plantations sucrières coloniales britanniques, qu'il considérait comme un frein à la productivité) - que les tentatives visant à gérer les innombrables transactions humaines finissent toujours par se retourner contre leurs auteurs.

When a semi-anonymous social media user declared that the federal government had targeted her in a bizarre entrapment scheme, the paranoid claim snowballed into a more disturbing revelation: the Pentagon appears to be breaking the law by paying conservative influencers to track, surveil, and propagandize Americans. Who else is involved in the covert scheme?

THAAD is one of the military-industrial complex's most expensive boondoggles-and most Americans have never heard of it.
The Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) system ranks among America's most advanced ballistic-missile defenses. It aims to intercept ballistic missiles during their terminal phase, as their warheads reenter the atmosphere from space and descend toward their targets.

After the US was essentially forced to conduct a major and rapid draw down of forces from the Gulf and Mideast region in the wake of Iran's 'unexpectedly' large retaliation for Operation Epic Fury, it seems all that Washington is left to do is arm regional allies to the teeth and wish them the best.
Early this month the US approved two potential Saudi defense packages valued at a whopping $5.75 billion.

The false indoctrination that American children receive in their public (i.e., government) schools about America's "capitalist" economic system is now boomeranging in a big way. Indoctrinated with the notion that the United States has a "capitalist" economic system, young Americans are now exclaiming, "We don't like your capitalist system.
