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

It's not just that Orbán losing inspires hope in other competitive-autocratic countries ruled by right-wing nationalist authoritarians. It's that his loss materially changes things in those other countries, because he's been operating as a headquarters and funding source...

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.
