Why Exactly Is San Francisco Banning Straws?

“Many of those who attack capitalism know very well that their situation under any other economic system will be less favorable. Nevertheless, with full knowledge of this fact, they advocate a reform, e.g., socialism, because they hope that the rich, whom they envy, will also suffer under it.”

Ludwig von Mises (1881-1973) Economist and social philosopher

BREAKING DEVELOPMENT: New emails obtained by Congress show Christopher Steele was secretly funneling information to the FBI in 2017 through DOJ official Bruce Ohr, even after the FBI claimed he was terminated for leaking to the media in November 2016.

European leaders ‘scared to death’ Trump will pull US troops off continent

President's longstanding promise to take soldiers home causing increasing concern, says former defence secretary

Good. Those are our troops, and their lives are precious. Don’t squander them on stupid wars to please your financiers. They are also costly to furnish and protect, so, taxpayers should want a return on investment - at least make it tax-neutral.

Europe wants to mock America while being shielded by the might of the American military. We should do what Ron Paul said years ago.

BRING ALL THE TROOPS BACK.

Not just from Iraq or Afghanistan. Bring them back from Japan, Korea, Germany.

America first. American soldiers should not be dying for some globalist plot masquerading as humanitarian compassion.

Remember how Saddam was supposedly an evil dictator we had to take out to bring “freedom” to Iraqis? Remember how Assad was allegedly not gassing his troops, so Obama had to draw some limp-wristed red line in the sand? If you think these acts of “compassion” are genuine, think again. Follow the money.

The new Foxconn facility will provide 15,000 new jobs on the US soil!

How much of a role did media coverage play in Donald Trump winning the Republican primary? Is Trump’s brand of conservative populism and identity politics here to stay? Would a Trump loss in November be an opportunity for libertarians to reshape the philosophy of the American right?

Ben Domenech shares his personal theory that explains Donald Trump’s rise to prominence on the political stage: https://www.libertarianism.org/media/free-thoughts/explaining-rise-donald-trump

President Donald Trump’s economy is drowning out Dimocratic propaganda.

Stock market record highs set.

GDP growth exceeding the “impossible” 3% mark set by MSM naysayers.

Plus, that traitor and undocumented Dimocrat John McCain is dead!

2018 is going to be a clean sweep of Dimocrats and RINOs.

2020 secured with U.S.-Mexico deal set.

Bill Clinton’s NAFTA ruined manufacturing even more.

President Trump is bringing jobs back.

The 362nd Training Squadron, Crash Damaged Disabled Aircraft Recovery (CDDAR) team, used 26-ton airbag modules and associated equipment to completely lift a KC-135 Stratotanker July 29, 2014. Students work as a team to lift the aircraft off the ground a minimum of 8 inches, which can be applied to any aircraft that has skidded off the runway or is stuck in the mud, snow or any other terrain.

Chuck Schumer is pretty stupid.

Everyone who has been paying attention knows this is true, but, why would the leadership of the Dimocratic Party openly say this to the public?

He’s saying he would rather make President Trump look bad than help the illegals he pretended to care about last week.
