  • Why There Is No Silver Bullet - and Economic Conditions May Worsen

    This morning I had quite a shock when I opened my trash bill. Now, for nearly 20 years I've hauled my trash bin down to the curb, where the trash truck picks it up. And for all those 20 years, the bill has remained pretty close to the same. Oh, there've been some slight increases here and there, but nothing like I saw today.

  • When A Presidetn makes Up His Own Rules

    It's been 10 months since "Liberation Day." The Day that President Donald Trump issued tariffs on the world. Today, Friday, February 20, 2026, the United States Supreme Court issued its ruling striking down Trump's use of the "International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) as an authority reserved for Congress.

  • A Darkness Descends Upon Washington

    The year began with two ongoing conflicts that could only continue with American support. When sworn in on January 20, 2025, there was some question whether the newly reelected Donald Trump would continue supporting the conflicts in Gaza and Ukraine. He had campaigned on a pledge to end the war in Ukraine in a day and curtail all overseas war, which presumably included the conflict in Gaza.

    For one brief moment, peace was in the air, and many looked forward to a time when all these wars would come to an end.

  • Venezuela And The Importance Of International Law

    We live in a world founded upon the twin pillars of international law and international cooperation. The United States, above all others, has benefited from the free flow of goods and services, which have brought us one of the highest standards of living in the world.

  • Venezuela: Where Was The UN Security Council Meeting? The US Senate Debate?

    The ramifications of today's actions in invading Venezuela will, without doubt, be profound, for in it a US President has placed the United States above international law, global norms, and US customs. By these actions, President Trump has set our Country on a rogue path, one that puts military aggression above peaceful deliberation.

  • How Many Of Those Foreign Investments Are Due To Trump's Tariffs?

    President Donald Trump is the most loquacious Chief Executive the country has ever seen. During his third campaign for President, he would speak before tens of thousands, often for hours, while enthralling everyone. His crowds loved it and came away feeling they understood precisely what Trump's vision for America was.

    However, as he has transitioned to his second term, there is a definite lack of precision when he describes his policies – a "muddying of the waters" if you will, making it difficult, if not impossible, to determine precisely what the policy is. A case in point is his recent speech at the White House Christmas Reception.
