In this revealing follow-up to their deep dive into the life of Mark Lane, Mark Groubert and Eric Hunley continue exploring the many chapters of one of the most controversial, fearless, and complex figures in 20th-century American legal and political history. Mark Lane is best known for Rush to Judgment, his groundbreaking book that publicly challenged the Warren Commission’s conclusions about the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. But Lane’s career extended far beyond the pages of that […]
Immigration courts are supposed to be open to the public, but Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) refused to allow a Reason reporter to enter a federal detention center in Miami where hearings take place. And afterward the government more or less admitted we should have been let inside. Yesterday, I drove up to the gate of the Krome Detention Center, an ICE facility on the western edge of Miami, and identified myself as a reporter who wanted to […]
Sometimes, when a pendulum swings too far, there’s an urge to replace the weight with a wrecking ball. In some ways, that’s good. Eyesores should be demolished after over-eager architects get out of hand. Insane and Suicidal The Biden border policy was insane to the point of being suicidal. That administration didn’t merely allow illegal aliens, it welcomed them… like a Maître d’ showing diners to their table. From the far reaches of the world, “migrants” were funneled thru the […]

According to the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative, “This calculation assumes that persistent trade deficits are due to a combination of tariff and non-tariff factors that prevent trade from balancing.” What if they’re not? What if other factors might be involved: – Low savings – High government borrowing – Direct foreign investment – Indirect foreign […]
Tweet Here’s another letter to the Wall Street Journal. Editor: In the span a less than two days, the Trump administration revealed yet again it’s trade-policy’s incoherence. On Saturday, Mr. Trump said “I couldn’t care less [if the prices of foreign cars rise due to tariffs], because if the prices on foreign cars go up, they’re going to buy American cars. I hope they raise their prices, because if they do, people are gonna buy American-made cars” (“Trump […]
President Trump has declared today “Liberation Day,” because many of his tariffs come into force. His team is taking a gamble that either the law of supply and demand does not apply to trade or that the American public will be uncharacteristically fine with higher prices.
