This is a textbook definition of judicial coup! Coup attempt of the authoritarian tyrannical regime of Turkey against the main opposition party is not acceptable. People of Turkey should unite against this coup attempt and defend the Turkish democracy and civil liberties… #May21Coup #CHP #Liberty

President Trump’s tariffs were supposed to make “America Great.” Instead: farmers need bailouts, manufacturers are paying more, and prices are up. The experiment failed, as we warned, explains Colin Grabow. It’s time for Republicans to go back to what works — free trade. ow.ly/TnMX50Z18gN

Orban was neither the earliest to take office nor the longest to govern of the new breed of democratically elected autocrats, but ruling as he did in the heart of Europe, he always seemed to pose a greater threat to liberal democracy. A good day.

Milton Friedman believed free trade benefits all economies and that tariffs act as a tax, reducing purchasing power. “It [tariff] protects the consumer against low prices,” he stressed. Friedman was a Nobel Prize-winning economist and a prominent advocate of free-market principles.

the most corrupt administration in my lifetime
New York Times article reads: "Mr. Zhao had pleaded guilty to money-laundering violations in 2023 and served four months in federal prison, after a yearslong investigation by financial regulators and U.S. prosecutors.

“President Trump exercised his constitutional authority by issuing a pardon for Mr. Zhao, who was prosecuted by the Biden administration in their war on cryptocurrency,” Karoline Leavitt, the White House press secretary, said in a statement on Thursday. “The Biden administration’s war on crypto is over.”

The pardon was the latest example of how high-profile business partners of Mr. Trump and his family have benefited from his rollback of the wide-ranging crypto crackdown orchestrated by President Joseph R. Biden Jr. To seek the pardon, Mr. Zhao hired lawyers and lobbyists with ties to the Trump administration, while Binance struck a business deal with World Liberty Financial, the Trump family’s crypto start-up."
