There's No “Lost” Economic Growth During Government Shutdowns
Some are convinced that government spending is a substantial driver of U.S. economic vitality. Nothing could be further from the truth. If Republicans really want to prove how unnecessary our $4 trillion federal government is, they should keep it shut down through 2021.
The Feds Can't Enforce Marijuana Prohibition—And They Know It
Thirty-three states have effectively nullified federal marijuana laws. US Attorney General nominee William Barr said so during his confirmation hearing when he called the current system "back door nullification." Back door or front door, the practical effect is the same—the feds can't enforce federal prohibition.
Gun Control Preceded the Tyranny in Venezuela
Some Venezuelans have expressed regret over the gun control policies the government has implemented since 2012. Naturally, this regret is warranted. When the rubber meets the road, a disarmed populace has no chance against a well-armed Leviathan.
Can Local Solutions Succeed Where Foreign Aid Has Failed?
For some, the persistent inefficacy of foreign aid is just one project away from being solved ("All we need is more money!"). They fall prey to the seductive but mistaken belief that outsiders can solve other people’s economic problems with financial resources and technical expertise. But for others, the time has come to propose more imaginative fixes to aid’s approach to international poverty. Where top-down economic planning fails, spontaneous ground-up order prevails.
Texas Now Produces More Oil Than Every Country in the World Besides Russia, Saudi Arabia, and Iraq
This “energy miracle” in the Lone Star State has to be one of the most remarkable energy success stories in history. And this “energy miracle” in the Lone Star State has nothing to do with Obama’s recent delusional claims of his alleged contributions to America’s new position as the world’s No. 1 oil producer, and everything to do with the contributions of free-market capitalism, Yankee ingenuity, technological innovation, revolutionary drilling and extraction techniques supported by modern Made-in-the-USA equipment, and, most importantly, the contributions of America’s many risk-taking “petronpreneurs” who are the real “miracle workers” in America’s amazing energy success story.
Why UPS Is Able to Save the Environment While Ethanol Subsidies Destroy It
When trade is voluntary, self-interest is an incentive to produce goods and services that satisfy the most urgent needs of consumers. Markets—not government—act as a check against businesspeople who choose not to listen to the needs of consumers

The Covington Affair
For an overheated few minutes, the world (meaning the world of people engaged in producing and consuming nanosecond-by-nanosecond commentary on the Internet) was rapt with revulsion at the sight of a group of smirking high-school boys — Catholic-school students, some in red “Make America Great Again” caps — menacing an older Native American man beating a drum as part of a protest in Washington, where the students were visiting as part of the annual March for Life. The condemnations were vitriolic, including here at National Review. ‘A fuller and more complicated picture emerged.” Just so.

If You Still Think Nick Sandmann’s Smile Is Proof of Racism, You’re Seeing What You Want to See
Some are incapable of viewing the MAGA-hat-wearing teens from Covington Catholic as anything other than pure evil.
