Protecting teens shouldn’t require permission to speak

“Across the United States, teenagers freely express themselves online. But that freedom is rapidly being restricted, and make no mistake: this doesn’t just end with teens. What is often portrayed as a youth mental health issue is really a battle for everyone’s online speech rights.” (03/24/26)

TDS continues to fuel the left’s [sic] dangerous & misleading agenda

Source: New York Post
by Michael Goodwin

“When the term ‘Trump Derangement Syndrome’ was coined, the words carried a hint of gallows humor. But as time passed and insane behavior by the president’s opponents became widely embedded in key people and institutions, any whiff of humor faded into history. Especially during a time of war with a deadly, fanatical enemy, an irrational hatred of our commander-in-chief by powerful Americans is not a laughing matter. All the more so when the infected include the top Democrat in Washington and the editors of America’s largest newspaper. Revealing scenarios in recent days that involve Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and the New York Times illustrate how hatred of the president has distorted their judgments and undercut their patriotism.” (03/24/26)

UK: Regime bans crypto donations to political parties in bid to curb foreign influence

Source: SFGate

“British political parties will be banned from accepting donations in cryptocurrencies, Prime Minister Keir Starmer announced Wednesday, saying illicit finance poses a ‘stark’ danger to the country’s democracy. Starmer told lawmakers that ‘we will act decisively to protect our democracy’ from outside meddling. ‘That will include a moratorium on all political donations made through cryptocurrencies,’ he said during the weekly Prime Minister’s Questions session in the House of Commons. The move could be a financial blow to the hard-right party Reform UK. The party led by Nigel Farage is one of the few in Britain to accept cryptocurrency donations. The government also said it will put an annual cap of 100,000 pounds ($134,000) on donations by British voters living abroad. Reform has received 12 million pounds in the past year from Christopher Harborne, a British businessman based in Thailand, according to Electoral Commission figures.” (03/25/26)

Former Israeli PM calls on ICC to halt West Bank “Jewish terrorists” after prosecutions stop

Source: The Guardian [UK]

“Israel has not prosecuted its citizens for killing Palestinian civilians in the occupied West Bank since the start of this decade, a Guardian analysis of legal data and public records show, creating impunity for a campaign of violence. Attacks have spurred former prime minister Ehud Olmert to call for an intervention by the international criminal court (ICC), to ‘save the Palestinians and us [Israelis]’ from state-backed [squatter] violence, carried out with the complicity and sometimes participation of the police and military. ‘I have decided not only to not remain silent, but to draw the attention of the ICC in The Hague so that it may take enforcement measures and issue arrest warrants,’ Olmert said in written comments to the Guardian. Dozens of former Israeli security commanders have demanded urgent action to stop ‘almost daily’ attacks on Palestinians.” (03/25/26)

Adam Smith and the Myth of the Founder

Source: Ludwig von Mises Institute
by Joseph Solis-Mullin

“Every year around the anniversary of the publication of The Wealth of Nations (1776), economists and commentators repeat a familiar story: Adam Smith — the Scottish moral philosopher — is celebrated as the father, or even the inventor, of economics. In this telling, Smith stands at the beginning of a scientific tradition, single-handedly discovering the principles of the market economy and the virtues of free trade. But this story is less history than myth.” (03/24/26)
