Multi-Generation War
On FPF #319, I discuss the endless US War on Terror. The US has issued a $1 million reward for information on the son of Osama bin Laden. The younger bin Laden is rising through the ranks of al-Qaeda. Americans are born before 9/11 are starting to enlist in the military and will soon be fighting al-Qaeda.

Check out this incredible thread about the economics of policing in Broward County. The Sheriff's Department and the school police have a racket where the school cops cover all the student crime, so as to fulfill the proper statistics for the state money, leading to a situation where serious crimes are covered up and explained away -- very likely including those committed by the Parkland shooter -- so that they can keep their scheme, which...
The Scandal Isn’t Post-Presidential Speaking Fees, It’s Political Pensions

In the wake of Obama’s decision to accept a $400,000 fee for a Wall Street speaking engagement this September, the bill’s sponsors plan to reintroduce it. But neither the speaking fee nor the...
