Are they afraid six cops can’t arrest, a small college girl? It looks like a scene from the movie Taken! Are they trying to avoid bad press?

Tariffs “will always be the best way to max out our economic power,” President Donald Trump declared during his first term, predicting that his trade war would “MAKE AMERICA RICH AGAIN.” Not rich enough, apparently, because Trump is still touting the magic of tariffs, which he says will “pay off our debt” and “MAKE AMERICA WEALTHY AGAIN!” Judging from the dizzying array of tariffs that Trump has imposed this time around, he believes what he says. But his […]

If they kill me, I will rise again in the Salvadorian people…” – Archbishop Oscar Romero, martyred, 24 March 1980 Whether we are aware of it or not, we live by stories. We live by others’ stories while we tell our lives by how we live. Our actions tell our stories. […]
Alaska is a cold state where residents need energy to keep the chill at bay. Fortunately, the state is blessed with natural resources, including abundant oil and natural gas that can help satisfy that need. Unfortunately, as I’ve written before, a nationalistic, century-old law requires that shipping between American ports be conducted only by U.S.–built and –flagged ships. And there aren’t any liquid natural gas tankers that satisfy the requirement. Now Alaska officials are seeking a waiver so […]
