The West’s tendency to question itself, empathize with its enemies, and confront its own imperfections is not a recent phenomenon. It is age-old and unique. It may even be one of the main sources of Western civilization's strength. humanprogress.org/the-ancient-ro…
➡️I haven't read his entire post but it seems weird that President Trump is mad at China for putting export controls on every element of production, while he wants to put IMPORT CONTROLS on nearly every element of production. Seems like he should send them a thank-you letter?
Anecdotally, I’ve heard from some Dem voters who will vote straight ticket blue, but withhold votes from Jones, or even cross over for Miyares (who’s a normie Republican). Let’s see if there’s enough of this phenomenon to deny a truly deranged person the job of Attorney General.
In Alabama, the allegations against Roy Moore were related to indecent behavior with young women. Alabama’s voters rejected him based on those allegations. In Georgia, Herschel Walker’s behaviors were well documented and violent, but came before he sought help for mental health.…
Marxism is fundamentally incompatible with democracy and constitutionalism. This is a well-deserved prize, and a bold statement against Maduro's illegitimate socialist regime.
BREAKING NEWS The Norwegian Nobel Committee has decided to award the 2025 #NobelPeacePrize to Maria Corina Machado for her tireless work promoting democratic rights for the people of Venezuela and for her struggle to achieve a just and peaceful transition from dictatorship to…
Last year, I coauthored a paper with @kerpen & Casey Mulligan on the 12 broken promises of Obamacare. As the Washington Post has written that the ACA was never affordable, there is a greater recognition of how the law failed in cost control & other areas. paragoninstitute.org/private-health…
The government shutdown has focused a lot of attention on the Affordable Care Act. The Washington Post even declared that the problem is that it "was never actually affordable." The ACA is a story of bad policy and broken promises. Learn more: t2m.io/tGwk9Kb
The seething over Bari Weiss not only shows us that legacy journalism has lurched so far left that centrist positions are heterodoxy, but that many journos are incapable of hearing dissenting viewpoints without freaking out. washingtonexaminer.com/in_focus/38456…
If President Trump wants to give taxpayers relief from the tariffs, the most effective solution is also the simplest: repeal the tariffs altogether. hubs.ly/Q03MWHmK0
One in every five households is worth $1 million (or more) but we still can't have a rational conversation about means-testing Social Security 🤪🤪🤪
I know the term "millionaire" ain't what it used to be, but it still amazes me that in 2023 almost 18% of US households - 24M in all - were worth at least $1M. bloomberg.com/news/features/…
1/2 In the journal @FUSIONaier, @FreeConTalk signatory @davidbmcgarry argued that “few planks of genuine American conservatism remain” within the Trump administration’s approach to antitrust. Key appointees at the Federal Trade Commission and Department of Justice embrace a…

"Affordable (sic) Care Act"
We added 2013 to this figure. It shows the average premium for this 50-year-old enrollee prior to Obamacare. Obamacare caused a 47% premium increase for her in 2014, with escalating premiums (picked up by the federal taxpayer) since.
Half of all US imports are used as inputs by American manufacturers. Here’s what happens when you impose a bunch of taxes on those imports:
U.S. manufacturing shrank this past September for the 7th consecutive month. straitstimes.com/business/econo…
Once again, the government taking stakes in private companies to expand its control is closer to textbook socialism than anything we saw during the Biden administration. Would be nice if more of the GOP’s socialism hawks would say so.

More economic freedom = richer country. Less economic freedom = poorer country. It’s that simple.
Today’s wisdom from Matt Ridley: “In the 1950s it took thirty minutes work to earn the price of a McDonald’s cheeseburger; today it takes three minutes.”

In Massachusetts, patients are told to wait five months for an MRI. Cross into New Hampshire and you can get the same scan the next day at a lower cost. The difference? New Hampshire repealed its CON law. Massachusetts still blocks competition. Patients want care when they need…

State agencies claim they "follow the science," but when a study commissioned by the WA Dept. of Ecology showed the plastic bag ban is harming the environment, they ignored it. They said we should focus on subjective metrics like "equity," not the environment. #waleg
Not only did the study commissioned by the state show the plastic bag ban is WORSE for the environment, but the Departments of Ecology and Commerce didn't release the results for nine months, so they could write a rebuttal to the study they commissioned. youtu.be/Ql5i4_orOLM
