The “F” Word
by Bradley Thomas | Mar 2, 2020 | Economics, Featured Articles, Politics
There’s a four letter word beginning with ‘f’ that’s on a lot of people’s lips these days. I’m talking about “free.” Free just might be the most powerful word in the English language. It drastically alters people’s behaviors and can short-circuit mental reasoning like...
The Senate Takes a Stand on Iran
by Kyle Anzalone | Feb 21, 2020 | Conflicts of Interest
On FPF #455, I discuss the Senate voting on a War Powers bill to constrain Trump's ability to start a war with Iran. Trump has continued on the presidential tradition of killing whoever he wants, and he is unbound by the Constitution. The House will also need to pass...

You Might be a Libertarian
by Arlo Pignotti | Jan 26, 2020 | Blog
If the police call your home asking you to donate to their fundraiser and you respond, “Am I being detained?” you might be a Libertarian. If you didn’t recognize Walter White had a problem until the FIFTH season of Breaking Bad. You might be a Libertarian. If you...

The Kyle Anzalone Show: Is Trump The Best Israeli President Ever?
Trump says he wants a deal with Iran. Netanyahu hints the real goal is regime change anyway. That contradiction is where diplomacy goes to die, and it is also where Americans get dragged into a war they did not vote for. We roll solo and ask the blunt question a lot...
You don’t need the sun glasses…

The Kyle Anzalone Show with Jim Webb: Trump to Netanyahu: ‘You’re F**king Crazy’

The Other Side of the Slap
I spent a lot of time dealing with the victim of violence. That betrayal only a lover can express, the sinister switch from affection or at least the performance required to invent love, to twist into a tantrum of rage. The bruising and cuts, a secondary blistering to...
The Kyle Anzalone Show: Trump Meeting in Situation Room to Decide on Iran Deal
A deal with Iran sounds simple until you read the fine print. We dig into the reports of a memorandum of understanding that would reopen the Strait of Hormuz and lift parts of the pressure campaign, then ask the uncomfortable question: is this “freedom of navigation,”...
