High import taxes won't "make America great" again. Donald Trump may think the media stenographers are out to get him, but
if they were really doing their job, his head would be spinning. He
doesn't know how good he has it. Or maybe he does. One need only think about the questions Trump is not asked to see what I mean. Take Trump's ... MORE

Walter E Williams: Historical Ignorance II - The Real Lincoln
We call the war of 1861 the Civil War. But is that right? A civil war
is a struggle between two or more entities trying to take over the
central government. Confederate President Jefferson Davis no more sought
to take over Washington, D.C., than George Washington sought to take
over London in 1776. Both wars, those of 1776 and 1861, ... MORE
Andrew Napolitano: No Place To Hide
Congress does nothing while liberty evaporates. With heart-pounding suspense, John le Carre-like intrigue and
Jeffersonian fidelity to the principles of human freedom, Glenn
Greenwald has just published "No Place to Hide." The book, which reads
like a thriller, is Greenwald's story of his nonstop two weeks of work
in May and June of 2013 ... MORE
The Truth About Southern States And Nullification
by John Lambert. Slavery was a morally corrupt and abhorrent institution that should have never existed. No question. No debate. Now that we have that out of the way, let’s talk about nullification’s history in the Southern states prior to the Civil War. Over time, a Paul Bunyan
type myth has grown suggesting that the Southern ... MORE
Thomas DiLorenzo: The Real LIncoln In His Own Words
What did Abe really believe about racial equality? After writing two books and dozens of articles, and giving hundreds of radio and television interviews and public presentations on the subject of Lincoln and the political economy of the American "Civil War"over the past fifteen years, I have realized that the only thing the average American ...

Walter E Williams: The Reality Of Abraham Lincoln
The politically-incorrect reality. Steven Spielberg's "Lincoln" has been a box-office hit and nominated
for 12 Academy Awards, including best picture, best director and best
actor for Daniel Day-Lewis, who portrayed our 16th president. I haven't
seen the movie; therefore, this column is not about the movie but about a
man deified by many. My colleague ... MORE

Sheldon Richman: Stop Complaining About Outsourcing
Sowing the seeds of a trade war. When economic times are bad, animosity is directed at foreigners: “They’re taking our jobs!” So it’s unsurprising that the presidential campaigns feature charges and countercharges about outsourcing, the employment of foreign labor by American companies. This is a dangerous game because it sows ... MORE
Scott Bittle/Jean Johnson: Presidents And The Price Of Oil
The great energy challenge. If you’re a primary voter, you’ve got your pick of candidates who’ll promise to bring down the price of gasoline. Unfortunately, whoever wins is going to run up against the limits of presidential power pretty quickly. The fact is that presidents don’t have that much authority over the price of oil, for a number of virtually ... MORE
Walter E Williams: China Trade -- Myths vs. Reality
Congress, not China, is causing our unemployment. Republicans and Democrats, liberals as well as conservatives, have bought into anti-Chinese trade demagoguery. Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi suggested that tariffs against China are a "key part of our 'Make It in America' agenda." During his 2010 campaign, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev. ...
