The recent assassination of Charlie Kirk has focused attention on political violence. Ludwig von Mises, not surprisingly, understood that tying morality to politicized state helps create the climate where political violence is prevalent.Original article: https://mises.org/mises-wire/mises-separating-morality-and-state

President Trump's latest anti-broadcast media actions are portrayed in legacy media as being unprecedented. While they definitely are outrageous, they hardly are the first time presidents have used federal agencies to go after broadcast opposition.Original article: https://mises.org/mises-wire/presidents-have-long-history-using-fcc-silence-their-critics

The irony of the Jimmy Kimmel controversy is that he owed his spot at ABC precisely because his work was non-political. Unfortunately in modern America, professional clowns feel they must become political tools.Original article: https://mises.org/mises-wire/jimmy-kimmel-american-tragedy

One of the reasons Charlie Kirk was considered "divisive" was that he spoke out against the civil rights laws, which was interpreted as his supporting Jim Crow segregation. Yet, these laws did not increase liberty but rather imposed a new progressive vision on Americans.Original article: https://mises.org/mises-wire/charlie-kirk-and-sacred-totem-civil-rights

On this episode of Minor Issues, Mark Thornton responds to Charlie Kirk's “most controversial take” on cannabis and drug policy. Mark contrasts Kirk's opposition to reclassification with the long history of prohibition as a Progressive project, showing how state intervention—not liberty—is responsible for urban decay, social breakdown, and the failures of drug policy. Drawing on examples from alcohol and cannabis prohibition to today's welfare state, Mark argues that addiction is fueled less by markets than by the permissive culture and coercive power of government."Should America Reclassify Weed?"

Few really understand why these blue cities are crime-ridden. It's not merely a lack of resources or even progressive ideology. At the root of the problem are governments working hard to maintain a monopoly on a service they then refuse to provide.Read the article here: https://mises.org/mises-wire/trumps-dc-takeover-missing-pointThe Mises Institute is giving away 100,000 copies of Hayek for the 21st Century.

The hackneyed argument for government regulation of speech -- yelling "FIRE" in a crowded theater -- has always been a red herring. As Murray Rothbard wrote, private property rights should be front-and-center when dealing with free speech issues.Original article: https://mises.org/mises-wire/you-cant-yell-chicken-jockey-crowded-theater-except-when-you-can

After the tragic 1995 Oklahoma City bombing, the FBI rolled out the same "lone nut" narrative about who did it. However, much evidence exists to show that FBI informants and agents embedded with white supremacy groups may well have been involved.Original article: https://mises.org/mises-wire/oklahoma-city-bombing-lesson-government-lawlessness

Understanding any era of history requires the ability to view complex things. However, people often employ simple narratives as their historical guides, which leads to wrong conclusions. The pre-war history of the American South is one that is much more complex than the narratives imply.Original article: https://mises.org/mises-wire/complexity-historical-narratives
