[ad_1] [This post is excerpted from the new book, National Treasure: How the Declaration of Independence Made America (Avid Reader Press/Simon & Schuster).] Though Thomas Jefferson’s phrases in the Declaration of Independence remain among the most famous ever penned, America’s founding document remains controversial to some, and unread by many. Famously intended by the young Jefferson to be an “expression of the American mind,” the Declaration was primarily of an amalgamation of George Mason’s Virginia Bill of Rights, Jefferson’s draft Virginia Constitution, and Richard Henry Lee’s resolution of June 11 proposing Independence. Though informed by dozens of local declarations and…

[ad_1] One of the most explosive claims from Molly Hemmingway’s new books concerns Dobbs. As we all recall, after the leak of the Dobbs draft on May 2, 2022, it became apparent that the Justices would face serious security threats. Indeed, a deranged liberal traveled from California to D.C. with weapons and made it to the threshold of Justice Kavanaugh’s home. (Sounds familiar, doesn’t it?) Yet, after all this happened, the Dobbs opinion was not released early. The Court held onto it until June 24. There was no obvious effort to expedite the release of the opinion. And all told, there…

[ad_1] International Man: Tax Day just passed on April 15th. What does it say about a society when productive people must spend part of every spring calculating how much tribute they owe the State? Doug Casey: It’s said that nothing is certain except death and taxes. But let’s reserve a conversation about the inevitability of death for another day. Taxes are not only unnecessary for running a civil society, but evil (Click here for a free copy of Market for Liberty). Nobody discusses the moral dimensions of taxation. People only talk about vacuous technical details. Are taxes too high or too low?…

[ad_1] Justice Ginsburg was known as the Notorious RBG. Notoriety was a perfect adjective for Justice Ginsburg. She was famous, but not always in a good way. She was, well, notorious. And Justice Ginsburg leaned into that edgy persona–or did the edgy persona shape Ginsburg? For some time, I’ve been thinking of the right nickname for Justice Jackson. It hit me today: the Laborious KBJ. The most salient feature of her tenure is making others do more work. And that work doesn’t actually serve any purpose, other than indulging Justice Jackson. She certainly isn’t changing any minds on the Court,…

[ad_1] Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Dan Craine said that Iranian attacks on shipping in the Persian Gulf and energy infrastructure in the UAE did not amount to significant violations of the ceasefire.  On Monday, Iran fired missiles at a US destroyer as a warning shot, an Iranian drone caused a large fire at the Fujairah Petroleum Industries Zone, and at least two vessels were hit in the Gulf. The Iranian attacks came as the US attempted to implement “Project Freedom” to restore commercial traffic through the Strait of Hormuz.  On Tuesday, Gen Caine said that the…

[ad_1] Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D–Mass.) is trotting out a familiar, false line of attack against Amazon founder and billionaire Jeff Bezos, who co-sponsored the Met Gala this year. “If Jeff Bezos can drop $10 million to sponsor the Met Gala, he can afford to pay his fair share in taxes,” she wrote on X. What would it mean for Bezos to pay his fair share? Is his fair share more than $2.7 billion? Because that’s how much he likely paid in taxes in 2024, according to Forbes. Bezos’ wealth largely consists of the stock he owns in Amazon. When he…
