Would a Coup Be Constitutional?

by
Amidst increasing talk of a “soft coup” against President Trump, in the nature of an impeachment, the question that naturally arises is: If an impeachment were to fail, would it be constitutional for the Pentagon and the CIA to oust Trump from office and either assume power temporarily in a “transition to democracy” or simply elevate Vice-President Pence to the presidency? Now, before anyone cries “conspiracy theory,” which is the term the CIA secretly invented to distract attention away from the Kennedy assassination, permit me to point out that there are lots of people in the mainstream press who are calling for Trump’s impeachment, notwithstanding the fact that he’s barely been in office for a bit more than 3 months. Moreover, before Trump’s election the Los Angeles Times, which is about as mainstream as a newspaper can be, published an op-ed that posed the possibility of a military coup against Trump. The op-ed, titled “If Trump Wins, a Coup Isn’t ...

Mexican Journalistic Idiocy on the Drug War

by
Mexican journalists are protesting the recent drug-gang killing of Mexican award-winning journalist Javier Valdez, who spent his career investigating and reporting on drug cartels. The protesting journalists want the Mexican government to crack down and bring the killers to justice. With all due respect, that’s just journalistic idiocy. What do these journalists think the Mexican government has been doing for the last decade or so? Playing tiddlywinks? Short of shooting suspected drug-law violators on sight, like drug warriors are doing in the Philippines, the Mexican government has pulled out all the stops in waging the war on drugs, even bringing the military in the fray. What has the Mexican government’s drug-war crackdown produced? No, not victory in the war on drugs, as the family of Javier Valdez and all those protesting Mexican journalists can attest. Instead, the crackdown has brought the exact opposite — ever-increasing violence and corruption in Mexico, including the murder of at least 42 journalists since 1992. Let’s face ...

The Russian Obsession Goes Back Decades

by
Just consider the accusations that have been leveled at the president: He has betrayed the Constitution, which he swore to uphold. He has committed treason by befriending Russia and other enemies of America. He has subjugated America’s interests to Moscow. He has been caught in fantastic lies to the American people, including personal ones, like his previous marriage and divorce. President Donald Trump? No, President John F. Kennedy. What lots of Americans don’t realize, because it was kept secret from them for so long, is that what Trump has been enduring from the national-security establishment, the mainstream press, and the American right-wing for his outreach to, or “collusion with,” Russia pales compared to what Kennedy had to endure for committing the heinous “crime” of reaching out to Russia and the rest of the Soviet Union in a spirit of peace and friendship. They hated him for it. They abused him. They insulted him. They belittled him. They called him naïve. They said he ...

The Moral Foundations of the Free Market Society

by
Higher education in the United States is engulfed in an ideological campaign against the American political and economic traditions of individual liberty, free competitive markets, and constitutionally limited government. In its place is the “progressive” agenda of collectivist identity politics, the regulatory and redistributive interventionist economy, and political plunder and power. Both “scientific” and casual surveys of political orientation and ...
