The Principles of Javier Milei’s Revolutionary Success

Libertarians and limited government/free market-oriented conservatives should be thrilled about what is happening in Latin America generally and in Argentina in particular. The latter lit the fuse to the Revolution that is now engulfing the former. The Liberty Movement spearheaded by Javier Milei, by melding sound governance and politics, is defeating socialism and spreading freedom …

Recording Law Enforcement.

There is no question citizens have the right to monitor law enforcement in the open. Physically interfering with policing is another issue. When the government wants to preserve its privacy, it may build a fence or close a door—but not ban speech. U.S. Circuit Judge Myrna Pérez Massimino v. Benoit (2026) With the deployment of …

Operation Let Them Speak Is Underway: Blue State Idjiotic Politics Exemplified By Their Big Tent And The DSA

My favorite among tough competition is his campaign motto for the republicans in 2026 that he has been touting for several years now called “Operation let them speak,” which is an upgrade of his long-standing plan focused on highlighting the idjiotcy of AOC.

Being Older Means Being Lucky; And Maybe Even Legendary

I received the commentary below from the son of a WW II Marine who was killed in action on Iwo Jima and who was awarded a Purple Heart and Navy Cross posthumously.

We are both veterans who have grave concerns about the future of America.

When Elections Lose Legitimacy

The collapse of a republic rarely begins with tanks in the streets or dramatic constitutional crises. More often, it begins with a far quieter question: Can we trust our elections? Once citizens lose confidence in the process that grants political authority, every institution built upon that authority begins to crack. Courts become suspect, laws become negotiable, and political opponents become enemies. A nation can survive bitter policy disagreements.

America’s Strategic Petroleum Reserve (Piggy Bank) Is a Giant Salt Shaker

When most Americans picture the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, they imagine rows of giant steel tanks behind barbed wire. The reality is far stranger—and arguably far more impressive. America’s emergency oil supply is stored inside enormous caverns carved into ancient underground salt domes along the Gulf Coast. It’s a brilliant feat of engineering, but there’s a catch: salt slowly moves. If those caverns stay too empty for too long, the surrounding rock gradually squeezes inward, creating long-term engineering challenges. It’s a fascinating story of geology, infrastructure, and national security—and a reminder that even America’s emergency backup plan isn’t immune to the laws of physics.
