What Are We Doing in Syria?
My first reaction to news earlier this month that the Syrian government had been overthrown was, how much did we have to do with it; how involved was the CIA; and how much is it going to cost. As with Saddam and Gaddafi before him, we know that Assad was no libertarian hero. But unleashing an army dedicated to establishing an Islamic state in once-secular Syria hardly seems like a good idea to me. As with President George […]

Given George Stephanopoulos’ Carelessness, ABC’s Defamation Settlement With Trump Seems Prudent
In an interview with Rep. Nancy Mace (R–S.C.) on ABC’s This Week last March, host George Stephanopoulos repeatedly and inaccurately asserted that Donald Trump, now the president-elect, had been “found liable for rape.” A week later, Trump sued ABC and Stephanopoulos for defamation in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida, noting that a jury had deemed Trump civilly liable for “sexual abuse,” not “rape.” Over the weekend, ABC News announced that it had reached a […]

Minimum Wage and Immigrant Labor Wage Contradiction
I keep seeing posts about minimum wage being too low and that the minimum wage should be increased so that no one in America has to work for such little money. I also see posts about how if we deport the undocumented immigrant workers who are working below minimum wage we would regret it because wages would increase for those jobs and therefore prices would increase. Are these the same people? If so, make it make sense that […]
