“In a recent Mises article, Tho Bishop declared that the institution of college sports is currently under the grip of anarcho-tyranny, which he defined as ‘the state-driven phenomenon of criminalizing the enforcement of basic civic norms while increasingly restricting the liberties of law-abiding citizens.’ The latest outrage comes from Louisiana State University in which its enfant terrible football coach, Lane Kiffin, has done what he always has done: push the boundaries of the rules of college athletics well beyond where they should be.” (09/10/26)

“There are in fact two types of realism, a ‘realism of means’ and a ‘realism of ends.’ … In the realism of ends, all states are said to pursue national interest, defined in terms of power and security. They may dress up this drive in the elevated language of democracy or human rights, but ultimately they all seek the same thing: maximization of their power. … I subscribe instead to a realism of means. I believe that liberal values and power shape the United States’ role in the world, while being realistic about both the extent to which the U.S. can prioritize democracy and the means by which such a goal could be achieved.” (09/10/26)

“Several leading British rabbis have backed the UK’s new sanctions on Israeli [squats], amid protests from prominent Jewish groups and leaders against the measures. A day after the sanctions were announced by Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband, senior Masorti rabbi Jonathan Wittenberg took to X to express his support for the sanctions. ‘What is taking place today in the West Bank is a Chillul HaShem, a violation of God’s name of the worst order. We cannot stay silent. This is terrible for Palestinian people who want to get on with their lives in peace. It is terrible for Israel,’ Wittenberg wrote on X. … Elsewhere, Rabbi Alexandra Wright of the Liberal Jewish Synagogue in London said that the ‘occupation and escalating violence are harming Palestinians and Israelis’. … Other rabbis who came out in support of the measures include Jeremy Gordon of the New London Synagogue, and Lev Taylor of Kingston Liberal Synagogue.” (09/10/26)

‘A failed war does not end when the drones stop flying. It creates a new danger: A government that refuses to admit defeat and a president who, having failed abroad, seeks muscular victories elsewhere. The war against Iran is a case study in the limits of military power, the dangers of presidential overreach and the enduring wisdom of the Constitution’s separation of powers. It was unauthorized, unconstitutional, illegal, strategically incoherent and — by the standards by which wars must be judged — a geopolitical failure.” (09/10/26)

“Federal agents on Thursday captured an accused election fraud ringleader who allegedly paid Skid Row homeless a few bucks each to sign California ballot petitions using the stolen identities of real voters. The FBI apprehended alleged election crook James Brass, a.k.a. ‘Lord,’ in Victorville, San Bernardino County, just before dawn.

“Honestly, I don’t think we really get it yet. Let’s face it. It’s going to be hot, hot, hot. Or do I mean hotter, hotter, hotter, or even hottest, hottest, hottest, or someday, for all we know, beyond any words we might now have to describe it. Though it seldom seems that way in the daily news, we’re talking about a genuinely apocalyptic possibility. Give us human beings full credit. Somehow, we’ve managed to come up with not one but two distinctly apocalyptic ways to potentially destroy ourselves and this planet—one a relatively speedy way to go and the other already operating in world-destroying slow motion—and that, believe me, is no small thing. Here are just a few examples of that slow-motion version of our self-destruction on this increasingly extreme planet of… well, can I really say ‘ours’ anymore, or should I say theirs?” (09/10/26)
