Government Central Planning Fails—Free People Create Order on Our Own
Politicians have big plans for us. President Joe Biden repeatedly says, “I have a plan for that.” “I alone can fix it,” shouted President Donald Trump. But most of life, and the best of life, happens when politicians butt out and let us make our own choices. Chinese philosopher Zhuang Zhou called that “spontaneous order.” Thousands of years later, economist F. A. Hayek added that order comes “…
Ukraine, Inner Cities, and Character Attacks
This weekend, Tucker Carlson interviewed a bevy of Republican presidential candidates in Iowa. Despite the fact that polls show that nearly zero Americans consider the war in Ukraine to be a top voting priority, Carlson spent a disproportionate share of his time grilling the candidates over their position on Ukraine.
At War With the Middle Class
Inflation numbers are out. Living costs are decreasing, but that does not mean things are cheaper. It just means things are not getting more expensive as quickly as they were. The cost of living is still high, and rental and mortgage prices continue to rise. During these times, the Biden administration has found a new target for their ire: airplane bathrooms.

‘Inequality Ahoy!’ Did Krugman Forget He’s Richer than Justice Thomas?
Insufferable New York Times economics columnist Paul Krugman apparently didn’t think his strategy through before he tried to caricature Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas as some kind of elitist.
In Search of Cures for Inflation
WASHINGTON -- I have of late been searching vigorously through my morning newspapers for the causes of and the cures for inflation. It seems to me that most people whom I know are well aware of what causes inflation and what might be the cure for it. The cause is too much money chasing too few products. The cure for it is to restrain the growth of the money supply. The source of money is in…
How to Crash the Economy, Big Government Style
We are in a looming financial crisis, even if we don’t want to see it. Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) was, according to Moody’s, worthy of an investment-grade rating as of March 8, 2023. S&P Global Ratings similarly held a high opinion of SVB. Two days later, SVB was shut down; immediately, Moody’s dropped SVB into junk territory. So did S&P Global Ratings. Within days, Signature Bank --…
Bozell Pans ‘Shameless’ Nets for Refusing to Blame Biden for Inflation
Media Research Center Founder and President Brent Bozell made his latest Fox News Channel appearance early Wednesday/late Tuesday on Fox News @ Night and slammed the liberal broadcast networks ABC, CBS, and NBC for refusing “to pin any blame on the donkey when it comes to” inflation “under Joe Biden,” adding this pro-Biden bias has been the case “since the moment he arrived on the…
A Fading Star vs. a Rising Star
We’ve heard it all before. In fact, a recording of last year’s State of the Union could have been replayed, saving President Biden a trip to Capitol Hill. Numbers can be selectively used to hide reality and advance one’s political agenda. Both parties do this, but Democrats and their media allies do it better. It’s important to go beyond the claims of success. For example, at the time of Biden…

ABC Tries to Spin Bad Biden Poll as a Wash, Lobs Softballs at Yellen
On Monday’s Good Morning America, ABC continued to voice its shock it first registered Sunday at latest poll showing voters believe they are worse off since President Biden took office than prior.

Fireworks by the Dozen: Here Are the Top WH Briefing Moments of 2022
Inside the White House Briefing Room, 2022 began with more mountain-sized word salads and dodges from Jen Psaki before shifting in May to former MoveOn.org spokeswoman and former MSNBC contributor Karine Jean-Pierre, who made waves for her stunning ineptitude and using her binder as a life raft.
