“Cafe Hayek” is a reliably consistent website that faithfully carries on the legacy of Friedrich Hayek, a vociferous defender of free markets and classical liberalism. He has always impressed me because he moved from socialism to free markets, just as Thomas Sowell did, as he learned more about the world. That says something about the…
Science Isn’t Dead, But It Is Ailing
Science faces a crisis of confidence owing to its politicization and the replication crisis. The latter, which intersects with concerns about scientific fraud, is the subject of this post, a matter on which I’ve previously commented. (OK, ranted.) Part of the impetus was from a study by Amgen, summarized in Wikipedia as follows: Out of…
The Morning Report 9/25/20
Good morning, kids. The weekend is here and there are a number of things potentially flaming skull-worthy (sounds like a 19th century pen name) all popping at once so lez-be-on our way. First, with Ron Johnson now openly calling Goofy Joey Bivalve the wonder nominee a liar with regards to his son’s criminal behavior, Rand…
The Morning Rant
I can rant and rave all day and all night about the many systemic problems we have with law enforcement in America. Too militarized; too isolated from the the people they are supposed “to protect and serve;” far too willing to protect their authority over absolutely harmless people…up to the point of shooting them; part…
The Morning Report 9/24/20
Good morning, kids. Thursday and, as expected, Louisville erupted in riots and mayhem where police officers and National Guardsmen were on hand to keep the peace as best as they could. Unfortunately bought-and-paid-for trained terrorists and their useful idiot cannon fodder managed to shoot and wound two police officers and injure another by hurling an…
The Morning Report 9/23/20
Good morning, kids. Midweek and let’s get right into the main story which is the filling of the vacant American People’s seat at SCOTUS. First, the White House has announced it will reveal the name of the nominee on Saturday at 5:00PM, when President Trump is at a rally in Moon Township, PA, which is…
The Morning Rant
Populism is now a dirty word; revisionist history has taken care of that quite well. And Orwell would be smiling and saying, “I told you so!” A cursory internet search will link populism with the “Know Nothings,” Father Coughlin, George Wallace, Huey Long, and other charming examples of American politicians who used appeals to the…
The Morning Report 9/22/20
Good morning, kids. Tuesday and the fallout over the SCOTUS vacancy with the death of Ruth Bader Meinhoff continues. More accurately the nuclear detonations continue as the Democrat-Media Complex realizes that it’s decades-long ability to legislate from the bench despite elections and despite the will of the majority of Americans might very well slip from…
The Morning Report 9/21/20
Good morning, kids. Autumn has arrived. Well, now that was one helluva Friday surprise, wasn’t it? Before we get to the loin-girding segment of the program, let me just say one thing about the late Ruth Bader Ginsburg. She for sure was one tough old gal, and considering she survived for years after being diagnosed…
“Unconscious Bias” And “White Privilege:” Two Sides Of The Same Anti-Freedom Coin
Most people who work for large American corporations have been dragged (sometimes kicking and screaming) into some sort of seminar or class or program explaining how all of us {well, middle class White people mostly) are irredeemably racist or sexist or classist or religionist(?), and only by admitting that we have a problem can we…
