This article was originally published by Connor O’Keeffe at The Mises Institute. Last Saturday, the third so-called “No Kings” protest took place in cities across the US.

Trump is characterized as a wannabe dictator corrupting what had been a sound democratic system that, while not perfect, was largely…

President Donald Trump has relieved U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi, who has frequently raised the ire of pro-gun rights groups, of her AG duties. On April 2, President Trump announced the change in a Truth Social post, and quickly tabbed Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche as acting Attorney General. “Pam Bondi is a Great American Patriot and a loyal friend, who faithfully served as my Attorney General over the past year,” the president wrote. “Pam did a tremendous job overseeing a massive crackdown in crime across our Country, with murders plummeting to their lowest level since 1900.” Trump continued: “We…
For the past century, the weapon of choice for inflicting mass causalities has been artillery. Since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in 2022, however, that has given way to something higher tech and cheaper — drones. Haunting Russian FPV drone footage that they themselves have uploaded to the internet shows the hum of drones as they stalk their human prey — civilians who find themselves caught in the quagmire of war. “They’re talking about hunting humans,” former Navy pilot Ken Harbaugh told Military Times. “They’re talking about it as a kind of flex, and they post these images on Telegram, and…
