This article was originally published by Jacob Thomas at Natural News.  President Donald Trump announced a 10% tariff on all Chinese imports, linking the penalty to Beijing’s alleged failure to stop fentanyl and its precursor chemicals from entering the United States. China exports roughly half a trillion dollars in goods to the U.S. annually, so the tariff would impose about $50 billion in new costs on Chinese products. The fentanyl supply chain involves Chinese chemical suppliers shipping precursors to Mexican cartels, which produce the drug and smuggle it across the U.S. border. Between 2015 and 2024, the U.S. recorded approximately…

U.S. Special Operations Command is looking to build a new testing ground for drones in Mississippi as the Pentagon grapples with ever-evolving autonomous technology that has come to define modern warfare.The project would expand existing test ranges at NASA’s Stennis Space Center to facilitate air, sea and ground-based drones, according to a notice posted this month.

HONOLULU — As the U.S. Army prepares for a possible fight in the Indo-Pacific theater, combat medical teams are seeing vast differences in what treating wounded personnel there would entail compared to recent conflicts.

Army Lt. Col. Lauren Hamlin, commander of Veterinary Readiness Activity, Hawaii, told Military Times that the region’s distance, contested…

This article was originally published by Wanjiru Njoya at The Mises Institute.  As Lew Rockwell has observed, Murray Rothbard “had a passion for public persuasion.” He was interested not only in sound economics but also in ensuring that “the general public is aware of the vital importance of the market and the terrible consequences of statism.” To that end, Rothbard argued powerfully against egalitarianism, which is the ideology behind so many statist welfare schemes. It is worth asking, over 50 years since he published his famous essay “Egalitarianism as a Revolt Against Nature,” why egalitarianism persists. Rothbard observed that “Americans consider themselves…
