The Biden Administration gave $600M to “environmental justice” groups. Who are they? Well, $50M went to the Climate Justice Alliance. CJA pays for illegal anti-Israel protests, on the basis that “the path to climate justice travels through a free Palestine.”

Thomas Jefferson had high hopes for the University of Virginia. Then the first term students got drunk, disguised themselves as Indians, and threw urine through a professor’s window. Next, a group of masked students threw brick bats at professors who asked them to calm down.

The basis of ESG and net zero is that if the West limits oil and gas production, the world will follow suit, out of climate solidarity. In fact, the world will capitalize on the West’s naïveté by producing more. Supply meets demand.

When Putnam wrote “Bowling Alone”, he included as “alone” those who bowled with friends, informally. When Tocqueville warned of “individualism”, he meant men withdrawing into their families and close friendships. But today when we speak of loneliness, we really mean alone!

Amazing that overturning a 1984 precedent denies Congress the ability to write laws the way they have “for more than a century.” Did Congress anticipate Chevron in the 1920’s?

Nobody is prepared for this jolt to the legal system. The Supreme Court has shifted an unfathomable amount of power from Congress and the executive brach toward unelected, unaccountable federal judges. This will fundamentally alter how government works.

Normies have a hard time rebutting conspiracy theories because they wish to restore trust. The best argument against conspiracy theories is that power centers are too incompetent to pull them off. True, but it doesn't exactly inspire confidence.

“Experts” hate economists because they think economists are the reason they can’t everything they want. Actually it’s because resources are scarce and their values are unpopular. But they would have to listen to economists to learn that.
