“On December 21, 1989, Romania’s communist dictator, Nicolae Ceaușescu, strode onto the balcony of the presidential palace to address an enormous crowd. Many in the square below had been bused in to show their support, and surrounding buildings had been draped with propaganda posters hailing his brilliant leadership. As soon as he began to speak, however, some of the crowd started to boo and hiss, and the murmurs of dissent swelled into a crescendo that drowned him out. His advisers urged him inside, and the regime cut off the national broadcast. It was too late. In that instant, the entire nation saw that multitudes of their compatriots hated him, just as they did themselves, though until then only in private. Within days, Romanians were in open revolt, and Ceaușescu was executed on Christmas Day. The demonstration created public knowledge of what had previously been widely held private knowledge.” (12/11/25)

“One would think that running a profitable legal marijuana industry would be just about the easiest thing in the world, but don’t tell that to the Democrat leadership of Minnesota, which allowed wokeness and apparent corruption to grind their legalization rollout into dust. Wherever one lands on the benefits or increasingly evident harms of marijuana legalization, once a state decides to do it, it has a responsibility to do it in a way that most benefits all the citizens. Of course, Gov. Tim Walz and the Minnesota Democrats made it all about social equity.” (12/11/25)

“With support from Microsoft, Stripe, and Shopify, Running Tide billed itself as on the cutting edge of carbon removal. In the end, it resorted to dumping thousands of tons of wood chips in the sea.” (12/11/25)

“Let’s say the unlikely happens and Democrats take both houses in 2026. Surely that means nothing for removing people from office, right? You’ll never get two-thirds of the Senate no matter how big your majority. And if we get a majority at all, it is likely to be a slim one. No, that’s quitter talk. We can do this.” (12/11/25)

“‘A monarchy, or a corrupt tyrannical aristocracy.’ That, George Mason warned, is what the Constitution would produce. His objections to ratification became the foundation for some of the most influential Anti-Federalist arguments. Born 300 years ago today, December 11, 1725, Mason was one of the most influential political thinkers and leaders of the American Revolution. It would be hard to exaggerate the impact of his Virginia Declaration of Rights, which served as the foundation for the Declaration of Independence, the Bill of Rights – and other constitutional documents around the world. But today, on the 300th anniversary of his birth, we are exploring his forgotten warnings about the Constitution during the ratification debates. They focus almost completely on his core fear that the new system would centralize power in a national government and destroy liberty.” (12/11/25)
