“Sanders condemns corporate welfare, and free-market advocates should too. AI regulation shows how political privilege replaces competition.” (10/11/26)

“Doubting Thomases who dismiss impeachment maintain that Trump has been impeached and acquitted twice already, and the impeachment would be futile unless and until Democrats capture control of the House and Senate in the midterms. The argument is unconvincing and ignores the many high crimes and misdemeanors Trump has committed since he returned to the White House. … If Trump is not removed from office, then the Constitution’s impeachment power will become a dead letter.” (10/10/26)

“The United States Court of Appeals for the First Circuit issued an interesting torts decision yesterday on group libel. In Bean Maine Lobster, Inc. v. Monterey Bay Aquarium Found., a unanimous appellate panel ruled that the Maine lobster industry could not sue the Monterey Bay Aquarium Foundation for saying that Maine lobstering is all wrong for the right whale. The controversy began after the Aquarium told the public to avoid lobster because lobster fishing poses a risk to the endangered North Atlantic right whale. The Maine lobster industry employs roughly 6000 people and catches a whopping 80 percent of the ‘lobster landings’. The Aquarium maintains a program called Seafood Watch, which assigns ratings to different species of seafood, ‘based on environmental impact and sustainability’. It gives a ‘red’ rating to seafood that ‘comes from sources that don’t align with [Seafood Watch’s] guiding principles.’ It gave a red rating to lobster.” (10/10/26)

“Russia is escalating its war against Ukraine, killing at least 30 Ukrainian civilians during an October 8 glide bomb attack on two public buses. Rightly, most of the world is outraged. Civilians, tragically, are always killed in wars. But deliberately targeting them is another thing altogether. What this outrage means, unfortunately, is that this war will not end anytime soon. Anger is a major catalyst for wars, and Ukrainians are angry. It’s unclear what the Kremlin’s calculation was in carrying out this strike, perhaps chalked up to growing desperation on the Russian side. Yet bombing civilians doesn’t break a people’s morale and will to fight; in fact, such acts usually strengthen that will.” (10/09/26)

“Our Founding Fathers did not put ‘charity’ in the Constitution as a responsibility — power — of Congress or the national government. Thus, the entire American welfare system is unconstitutional, and if anyone disagrees, please ‘lay [your] finger on that article of the Constitution which granted a right to Congress of expending, on objects of benevolence, the money of their constituents’ and point it out to me. And prove to me that you know more about the Constitution than the man who wrote it. The Founders didn’t put [it there] for a quite obvious reason: if the government starts giving out free money, the lazy, shiftless, and selfish (which is far too many of mankind) will line up for miles to get as much of it as possible.” (10/10/26)
