Trump’s National Security Speech

But the FBI has never been a friend of liberty and justice. Rather, as James Bovard writes, it has a long record of both deceit and […]

Expect Desperate and Insane Behavior From Government in 2018 – Part 3 (War) In the first two installments of this series, I discussed the potential for the U.S. federal government to make some spectacularly foolish moves against its own people in the realms of cannabis and Bitcoin.
