WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange was arrested by London police and will likely be extradited to the U.S. to face charges in connection with secret documents obtained by Chelsea Manning and published on the WikiLeaks website. These documents revealed government malfeasance. Nevertheless, people on both side of the political spectrum are cheering Assange's arrest, despite the grave threat his prosecution poses to free and open journalism. Most of these cheerleaders won't directly address the information these documents revealed or the service Manning and Assange provided by revealing government criminality. Instead, they justify Assange's prosecution with the refrain, "But he broke the law." In this episode of Thoughts from Maharrey Head, I take on this spurious argument and reveal it for the tripe that it is.

The Trump administration set an all-time record monthly budget deficit of $234 billion in February. I've actually had some people try to convince me this is somehow Obama's fault -- which is absurd. In this episode of Thoughts from Maharrey Head, I dig down to the ugly truth. The federal government is spending money out the wazoo and both parties are equally to blame.

For some libertarian purists, legislation is never good enough. If a bill doesn't do absolutely everything that they want. they will call it "watered down" and actively oppose it, even if it takes a small step forward for liberty. This is a sucky strategy and sucky strategies suck. In this episode of Thoughts from Maharrey Head, I take on these libertarian purists with some sage advice from Thomas Jefferson.

Donald Trump's victory in the 2016 presidential election revived the debate over the Electoral College.

When it comes to the Constitution, most people want to have it both ways. They say the Constitution is important and should always be followed until it gets in the way of their political agenda. Then they engage in all kinds of mental gymnastics to justify unconstitutional actions they happen to like. Progressives have been doing this for decades. But the Trump supporters are every bit as bad. In this episode of Thoughts from Maharrey Head, I talk about this constitutional tomfoolery.

During his confirmation hearing, U.S. Attorney General nominee William Barr basically admitted nullification works.

Hemp and CBD are now legal in all 50 states! At least that's what most people think after the passage of the 2018 farm bill. Unfortunately, it's not that simple.

In this episode of Thoughts from Maharrey Head, I cut through the clutter and explain exactly what the federal farm bill did and didn't do and clarify the legal status of both hemp and CBD.

You've probably heard people talking about the possibility of another civil war. Many people think America has never been more divided. In some cases, violence has even spilled over into the streets.

I've come to a conclusion: there is a segment of Trump supporters out there who are delusional. They are so blinded by the cult of personality that they can't objectively look at reality. Last month, the Trump administration broke the one-month record for spending. In other words, Trump and his Republican colleagues in Congress are outspending every Democrat who came before him. If you feel angry at me for saying that, you might be one of the aforementioned delusional Trump supporters. In this episode of Thoughts from Maharrey Head, I talk about this Trump derangement syndrome and break down the spending numbers.

Immigration is a huge issue in America. But to be honest, it's not one that I get very worked up over. In fact, other than the constitutional issues, I'm pretty apathetic about it.
