“The artless Trump may have used his bully pulpit to attack his opponents, particularly in the media, and forced the academic elite to curb their leftist enthusiasms. Yet in the end, the very forces that have dominated America for decades remain largely intact, despite Trump’s lust for vengeance against those who oppose him.” (10/30/26)

“New inflation and spending figures suggest the economy is still running too hot for price stability. The Fed’s ‘wait and see’ comes with serious systemic risks.” (10/30/26)

“Watching the broadcast news networks report on campaigns makes you think they’re not creating news as much as they’re trying to make the political weather. On every day, in every way, they labor to place the blackest clouds over the heads of President Donald Trump and the Republicans. Good news is not news. There is no balance of good and bad. Any hint of neutrality is despised as ‘normalizing’ Trump. Nonpartisanship somehow becomes partisanship. So, resistance against Trump is the norm. A Media Research Center study of the 2024 campaign from July 21 through Oct. 25 found ABC, CBS and NBC evening newscasts punished Trump with 85% negative coverage. Meanwhile, the Democrat nominee, Kamala Harris, received 78% positive coverage. One choice sounded like doom, and the other was painted as hope and joy and ‘vibes’. With that kind of stark difference in tone, does that sound like news or campaign advertising?” (10/31/26)

“It’s the Halloween season, the perfect occasion to introduce your young children and grandchildren to the wonders of the market economy. After all, the market is a process in which individuals strive mutually to improve their situations through trade—that is, lucrative peaceful cooperation. (Today we’ll ignore all the ways politicians and bureaucrats get in the way.)” (10/30/26)

“America has a deadly addiction to war. Since 1950, presidents of both political parties have sent American troops into conflicts across the globe, killed countless people, sacrificed the lives and limbs of American servicemen and women, and wasted trillions of dollars. Yet these wars have consistently failed to achieve the objectives proclaimed when the killing began.” (10/30/26)

“Benjamin Franklin knew the pattern all through history: Collapse is self-inflicted. In 1773, he wrote a masterpiece of biting satire detailing 20 rules for how a great empire destroys itself from within. The formula is simple: make the government so detestable that the people want secession at any cost. It was supposed to be a warning, but the British ignored it and learned their lesson the hard way. Read his rules and judge for yourself. Is this just another history lesson? Or is it an instruction manual still being followed by the empire we live under today?” (10/30/26)

“Perhaps you’re old enough to recall the New Atheist movement and the ‘Four Horsemen of New Atheism,’ a reference to the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse in Christian eschatology, or theology of the end times. Inspired by this quartet, I have been cataloging the ‘Four Horsemen of New Zionism,’ focusing on pivotal commentators and propagandists devoted to contemporary Israel and all the destruction that comes with it.” (10/30/26)
