Explaining the Objections to Background Registration Checks
Gun owners’ opposition to background checks is probably the most difficult position for non-owners (and even some owners) to fathom. The history of Background Checks shows that while they don't work to disarm bad guys, they do register gun owners and provide "confiscation lists" for corrupt officials.

Obama’s Absurd Double Standard on Defense Spending
Obama can't require every hike in defense spending be accompanied by increase in domestic spending.

The Trick Lawmakers Use to Hide Their Wasteful Spending
The Congressional Budget Act of 1974 requires the legislative and the executive branches to agree upon a dozen different appropriations bills before the end of the fiscal year, Sept. 30. And year after year, they have failed to meet this deadline. So, Congress often turns to a short-term patch, known as a continuing resolution, to fund the government until reconvening in January. And just as frequently, these continuing resolution bills not only fail to address wasteful spending, but break through existing spending caps, put our government on an unsustainable course, and help repeat the cycle next year.

FRANCE, LA SAINTE: A PILGRIMAGE WITH VLADIMIR LOSSKY
Seven Days on the Roads of France recounts a formative personal experience and offers a new glimpse of a great Orthodox theologian. Looking back on his ordeal, Lossky explains what he learned from it and why he clings to it. On June 13, 1940, Vladimir Lossky left Paris to enlist in the French army. His destination kept retreating from him as he went. Directed to one town after another, and misdirected along the way, it finally became clear that there was no army waiting to receive him. What began as his march to war would end as a “path homewards”.

Gary Galles: What is the most important goal of separation of powers but to make the transaction costs of government actions higher, in order to restrict government acts to where there is a much higher degree of societal agreement?

In a new twist, the presidential nominees from both major political parties have fallen for (or hope that the voters have fallen for) a time-worn fallacy, and have proposed government spending on infrastructure “to grow the economy and create jobs.” As David Stockman has shown, infrastructure in the United States is not “crumbling,” nor is spending on infrastructure disappearing.
