“A statistician of days past might have observed that medical investments in bloodletting, applying leeches, or executing frontal lobotomies failed to produce results any better than not treating patients at all. And while they might argue it is because physicians hadn’t reached key efficacy thresholds, an equally valid hypothesis is that their methods were worse than useless! Perhaps volunteering for the PTA and enlisting one’s kids in travel sports are the bloodletting of modern parenting.” (03/02/26)

“The domestic context for this war is clear. In almost every respect, this is a failed administration. Its trade policy is in tatters. Its authoritarian push on immigration faces resistance and public rejection. Because of years of bad practice and ignoring the Constitution and the laws, the President’s hand is freest in foreign policy and war. The irony is that this administration, which was supposed to be a populist broom and new beginning, has been taken over by one of the hoariest DC lobbies, ‘the bomb Iran,’ crowd. As Trump used to look for depressed properties to scavenge, now the neocons inhabit the decaying hulk of Trumpism.” (03/02/26)

“The world is undoubtedly a better place after the killing of Iran’s supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and roughly 40 of his murderous colleagues by joint Israeli and American military strikes. Iran’s Islamist regime has slaughtered its own people while encouraging terrorism around the world for decades. But those strikes carry serious risks and costs. Are they worth the tradeoffs? The Trump administration should have made its case to Congress and the already skeptical public and satisfied the Constitution’s requirements by doing so.” (03/02/26)

“The widespread use of masking by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers is now an issue that could be addressed by Congress as part of Department of Homeland Security (DHS) funding legislation. This presents an opportunity to rein in the excessive use of masking by ICE agents while acknowledging that some circumstances warrant the use of facial coverings — and that steps must be taken to prevent misuse of photographs to threaten officers and their families.” (03/02/26)

“Once again, the United States and Israel are illegally attacking Iran, as they did last June. It is already a regional war, which will take a horrible toll on ordinary people in many countries, with reports a girls’ school was bombed, killing at least 85 people. Unlike the limited strikes in last June’s 12-day war, this is aimed not just at Iran’s nuclear or military facilities, but at regime change in Iran, as President Donald Trump declared, and government targets in Tehran have been hit, with Israel claiming Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was killed. Predictably, Iran is firing back at Israel and at US military bases in the region.” (03/02/26)

“On March 2, 1926, Murray Rothbard was born in the Bronx, New York, an only child of immigrant parents. His father worked as a chemist and his mother encouraged his voracious reading. Early interests in history and logic foreshadowed a career in which he relentlessly scrutinized economic models, historical narratives and political myths.” (03/02/26)
