Health > Care, Border Runs
November will mark the beginning of the 24th year of this blog.  While my posts are far from frequent, I hope that each one is helping others in some way.  That’s always been my goal.  Along these lines, I’ll offer the answer to a question I was asked by a start-up health IT company yesterday, and will also outline the process for the Costa Rica ==> Nicaragua ==> Costa Rica border run, which is both necessary and relatively easy.   Health > Care “Dr. Reider – why are you interested / willing to help out little company?”Some context – and then my response.  (After – ...

Colombia Should Legalize Adult Marijuana Use Today
Daniel RaisbeckAny American who smoked pot in the 1970 ’s likely came across Colombian marijuana. In 1979, in fact, Colombia was providing “roughly two ‐​thirds of all the pot smoked” in the United States, according toTime Magazine. The industry certainly was illegal, but it also arose from an exemplary instance of bicultural exchange and bilateral trade. It was, after all, American Peace Corps volunteers who came across the legendary “Santa Marta Gold” strain on Colombia’s Caribbean coast, thus kicking off the country’s decade‐​long “marijuana bonanza.”The boom times for Colombian pot came to an ...

Hit by Scandal, Petro Can Still Ruin Colombia
Daniel RaisbeckLess than a  year ago, I wrote of the almost certain regret that awaited the prosperous, urban, multiple ‐​degree‐​holding types who voted for Gustavo Petro, Colombia’s Chavista president. They thought they had supported a Nordic‐​style social democrat—failing to notice that they had helped to elect a tropical socialist who, given his past as a guerrilla group member and Hugo Chávez supporter, was also a potential autocrat.Caveat emptor (or rathersuffragator) indeed. But I  never thought that voter’s remorse would set in so quickly. Or so extremely.According to poll data from June 1...

4 Life-Changing Truths About the Universe
What fascinates you most about the universe? The sun, moon, or the fantastic milky way. Well, the quantum of the universe is beyond that. If I start telling you the magic of the universe, I might be unable to do it in the best possible way. But again, I have invested more than 30 years of my life in realizing countless truths happening in the universe every next minute. One thing I know for sure is that everything in the universe is either connected with science or spirituality. I love to learn about the interaction of science and spirituality, especially with quantum physics. And my passion for quantum physics helped me t...

Chileans Vote to Step Back from the Socialist Brink
Daniel RaisbeckBack in August of 2022, I  wrote about how a  small band of sanctimonious, sophomoric malcontents had—astoundingly—taken over the Chilean state. President Gabriel Boric, who was elected to his country’s highest office in 2021 at the age of 35, had assembled a team of former student activists. Since the early 2010’s, their main contri bution to Chilean society had consisted of leading numerous protests against the country’ssoi disant“neoliberal” model. First, it was against school choice and profit in the education sector. Then it was against the private pension system. Finally, in 2019,mild ...

State Department ’s Human Rights Reports and Their Failures
Jordan CohenIn March 2023, the State Department released theirannual“Country Reports on Human Rights Practices.” While these reports do provide useful information about individual countries’ human rights practices that allow for better policy research, analysis, and implementation, they do little to stop human rights abusers from receiving U.S. aid. Considerin g a recipient ’s human rights record before sending military assistance is important as states who violate human rights tend to go towar more frequently, facerisks of political instability, and are the most likely todisperse U.S. weapons to terrorists an...

Biden ’s Border Immigration Policy Is Still Reducing Border Crossings and Illegal Immigration
Alex NowrastehFrom December 2022 to February 2023, encounters of migrants crossing the southwest (SW) border with Mexico are down 39 percent. President Biden ’s immigration and borderplan that expanded legal migration to the United States through humanitarian parole should take credit for this decline. Under Biden ’s plan, up to 30,000 migrants from Venezuela, Cuba, Nicaragua, and Haiti (VCNH migrants) are allowed to enter the United States legally each month through humanitarian parole. As a result, more of them are waiting to come legally rather than attempting to cross illegally.In February 2023, the number of VCNH...

Two Years Later: Biden Has Finally Taken the First Step on Stopping Risky Arms Transfers
Jordan CohenPresident Joe Biden ’s administration just released itsConventional Arms Transfer policy, which dictates who can buy U.S. weapons and how the arms transfers process should function. These policies come directly from the White House; former President Donald Trump issued the last Conventional Arms Transfer policy in 2018, which was primarily focused on the economic benefits from weapons transfers.The Biden administration ’s Conventional Arms Transfer policy makes two notable changes. First, it adds text about norms and human rights. Specifically, it notes that the U.S. should “prevent arms transfers that ri...

Title 42 ’s End Won’t Affect Most Border Crossers
David J. BierThe U.S. Border Patrolcould soon lose its novel authority to expel border crossers back into Mexico under Title 42 of the U.S. code, a 19th century public health law never previously used to remove people from the United States. Since March 2020, the agency has used Title 42 to ignore the normal process to which crossers are entitled under Title 8 of the U.S. immigration code and force them back into Mexico often within a few minutes of their arrests. The government is also flying some migrants directly back to their home countries under the rule.Figure 1 shows the number of border arrests by processing type: ...

U.S. Can ’t Afford Another Decade Without New Free Trade Agreements
Clark PackardAs 2022 winds down, it is worth noting that it has now been ten years since the United States entered into a free trade agreement (FTA) with new trading partners. Despite claims that the United States is a “hyperglobalist,” the reality is much different. In fact, as Adam Posen of the Peterson Institute for international economicsnoted in his excellentForeign Affairs essay last year, the United States has been withdrawing from international economic integration for about 20 years. The consequences of a stagnant trade agenda will become more apparent and pronounced as time passes.In 2012, U.S....

No, Colombia Is Not Legalizing Cocaine. But It Should
Daniel RaisbeckThe American media ’s coverage of Colombia’s supposedly new drug policy has been odd. As I argue in my recent piece inForeign Policy, left ‐​winger Gustavo Petro, who became president last August, has been offering the same old prohibitionist formulas despite claims to the contrary inThe New York Times,The Washington Post, and other traditional media outlets.Take, for instance, the Colombian government ’s claim that a change to regional drug policy is imminent because, as Petro ’s “drug czar” stated, this is“a rare moment in which many key governments in the region — including t...
