J. CrewAnon and the Mainstreaming of Dissent

by Cooper Davis
“During a recent family vacation over lobster, I watched my ‘vote blue no matter who’ aunt-in-law, herself a paragon of New England liberal sensibilities from a leafy suburb outside Boston, argue with her Fox News-watching, burn-it-all-down brother about recent goings-on at HHS. ‘Just because Fauci lied about Covid,’ she said, ‘doesn’t mean all science is fake; there’s something worth saving here.’ Meet J.Crew-Anon: affluent, educated, professional, skeptical but not nihilistic. They still read the Times and the Journal, but also subscribe to multiple Substacks and are daily imbibers of less ‘safe’ publishers, like Brownstone.org. They triangulate. They parse information with friends and peers, seeing fact-checkers as either dangerous or useless or both. They are more interested in steelmanning the opposition than shouting it down.” (09/03/25)
Israelis stage “day of disruption” against reservist call-up for Gaza genocide
Source: euronews [EU]
“Protesters took to the streets across Israel for what they called a ‘day of disruption’ on Wednesday, denouncing the call-up of tens of thousands of reservists for an offensive in Gaza City that critics fear could endanger the lives of the hostages still being held by Hamas. Demonstrators have accused Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his cabinet of failing to secure a ceasefire deal and intensifying an offensive in Gaza instead.” (09/03/25)
The Everyday Miracle: Value Is Not Cost
Source: Bet On It
by Bryan Caplan
“Value is not cost. Value is what you get; cost is what you pay; and they are not the same. Not even close. In this world of ours, some things have immense value and immense cost, like a cure for aging. Some things have trivial value and trivial cost, like a speck of dust floating through the air in front of you. Some things have trivial value and immense cost, like a mud pie a hundred miles wide. And finally, some things have immense value and trivial cost, like food, water, and air. Value is not cost. It is thanks to this simple principle that life is worth living.” (09/03/25)

Epstein accusers put pressure on Congress to release the files
Source: NBC News
“A group of Jeffrey Epstein accusers on Wednesday told emotional, gut-wrenching stories of sexual abuse at the hands of the late convicted sex offender and his co-conspirator, Ghislaine Maxwell, raising pressure on lawmakers to back the release of all of the files in the Justice Department’s years-long Epstein investigation. … The bombshell news conference was organized by Reps. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., and Ro Khanna, D-Calif., and comes as the bipartisan duo push to collect 218 signatures — half of the members of the House of Representatives — to force a vote to compel the Justice Department to release all of the files in the Epstein case. The accusers at the conference said that if Congress isn’t willing to release all of the investigative documents pertaining to Epstein, they would compile their own list of names to hold those in Epstein’s orbit accountable.” (09/03/25)
Our responsibility to defend ourselves

“Last week, another mentally ill individual chose to be an evil loser and shot into a church full of children, killing two and injuring many more. The usual anti-gun voices immediately blamed guns and all the gun owners who didn’t commit murder. They never place blame on the evil loser because that doesn’t fit the agenda. Dancing in the blood of innocents is their only play, and they are experts at it. … everyone has the right to fight back if someone decides to use their tools to harm the innocent. Background checks and all other anti-weapon rules violate this right, making it safer for evil losers to commit atrocities without facing the possibility that someone may have the means to stop them before they do what they intend.” (09/03/25)
Ukraine war: Russian forces attack with more than 500 drones
Source: Associated Press
“Russia fired more than 500 drones and two dozen missiles at Ukraine overnight, authorities said Wednesday, as Ukraine’s president and European leaders pressed on with talks on how to strengthen Ukrainian defenses and boost as-yet unsuccessful U.S.-led peace efforts. The main Russian nighttime targets were civilian infrastructure, especially energy facilities, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said, as another winter approaches three years after Russia’s all-out invasion of its neighbor. The attacks targeted mainly western and central Ukraine and wounded at least five people, the Ukrainian air force said.” (09/03/25)

Peak Population: Prepare for a Shrinking World
Source: The Daily Economy
by Michael Munger
“Earth is going to hit ‘peak population’ before the end of this century. Within 25 years, most of the world’s developed nations will be facing sharp population declines, with shrinking pools of young people working to support an ever-aging population. The reason is not famine, war, or pestilence. We did this to ourselves, by creating a set of draconian solutions to a problem that didn’t even exist. Fear has always been the best tool for social control, and the fear of humanity was deployed by generations of ‘thinkers’ on the control-obsessed left.” (09/03/25)

FL: Regime plans to eliminate all childhood vaccine mandates

“Florida plans to become the first state to eliminate vaccine mandates that have been a cornerstone of public health policy for decades in keeping schoolchildren and citizens safe from infectious diseases. State Surgeon General Dr. Joseph Ladapo cast current requirements in schools and elsewhere as an ‘immoral’ intrusion on people’s rights that hampers parents’ ability to make health decisions for their children. ‘People have a right to make their own decisions, informed decisions,’ Ladapo, who has frequently clashed with the medical establishment, said Wednesday at a news conference in Valrico. ‘They don’t have the right to tell you what to put in your body. Take it away from them.'” (09/03/25)
