When your colony of pet rabbits accidentally eats magic mushrooms, who you gonna call? Hopefully not the characters on Animal Control, the new sitcom that debuted on Fox in February. Responding to that situation in one early episode, the officers eventually corral the tripping bunnies, then decide to confiscate the rest of the unfortunate owner's shroom stash for their personal use. Asset forfeiture is no laughing matter. But the show uses the low-stakes environment of animal control duty to poke fun at the real problems of self-interested cops and the unaccountable public systems that protect them. Main character Frank Shaw (Joel McHale) is a former policeman who got drummed out of ...
Texas Sues Biden Over Immigration ‘Parole’ Scam

We’ve covered President Biden’s lawless immigration “parole” scam a number of times (see, e.g., here). Basically, it’s an illegal-alien laundering scheme in which, to try to pretend that the hordes of illegals coming into the country are less numerous than they actually are, Biden and his factotum, Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, invite non- Americans the world over to use an app to schedule their illegal crossing of our border. If an alien uses the app, the president pretends he has the power to give the alien a faux visa to come on in. Voila: The alien is no longer deemed illegal! Ergo the crossing doesn’t count as an illegal entry. From that ...

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban said Tuesday that Ukraine is unlikely to win the war against Russia and that the only way the conflict can end is through a deal between the US and Russia. “Looking at the reality, the figures, the surroundings, the fact that NATO is not ready to send troops, it is obvious that there is no victory for the poor Ukrainians on the battlefield. That’s my position,” Orban said at the Qatar Economic Forum in Doha, according to Al Jazeera. Click for Full Text!

All too often, unscrupulous businesses weaponize the United States’ antitrust laws — which are only supposed to be utilized to protect consumers against higher prices and other consequences of monopoly power — for their own self-serving purposes. Professor Thomas DiLorenzo noted this problem more than a third of a century ago in a piece titled The Rhetoric of Antitrust. He wrote that, “In theory antitrust regulation promotes competition in the marketplace but in reality its results are often anticompetitive. It is routinely used by businesses having problems competing.” A key to understanding the difference between competition as a process benefiting consumers and ...

While targets spanned the U.S., Microsoft highlighted infiltration of national security-specific infrastructure in Guam, an important U.S. territory ...

No Security Guarantee for the Saudis

The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia wants a security guarantee. The Saudi royals are used to hiring out their country’s “dirty work,” like defense. Who better to protect the licentious elite than the U.S.? While Gurkhas are good fighters, Americans wield aircraft carriers and nuclear weapons. In addition, Riyadh wants its own largely unrestricted nuclear power program as an insurance policy in case Iran moves ahead to make nuclear weapons. Unfortunately, in dealing with the Kingdom, Washington policymakers have proved to be suckers easily influenced and bought for little more than a promise and a song. For decades the U.S. has supported the royals as they backed authoritarian Arab ...
