Rothbard’s Anatomy of the State points out that the state acquires this support by means of its court intellectuals, who frame power as “public service,” while framing skepticism as childish, antisocial, or “conspiratorial”—especially the simple habit of asking cui bono (“who benefits?”). In a previous article, I highlighted the need for libertarians to criticize how academia and journalism can serve as the primary vehicles…

U.S. President Donald Trump calls the vessel a new class of “battleship” graced by his own name, but China just calls the U.S. Navy’s latest concept a larger and “easier target” for its growing array of anti-ship drones and missiles.

The VA has formally convened a commission led by Deputy Secretary Paul Lawrence to vet candidates for the position.

Karen Brazell, a senior adviser to VA Secretary Doug Collins, was selected last June for the position, which…
