Green energy advocates want us to believe we easily can transition from conventional fuels to renewables. In truth, such a transition not only would devastate world economies, but also is not technologically possible. |

The Fed has announced it will finally begin scaling back its balance sheet and raising rates. But the steps announced by the Fed on Wednesday are incredibly timid. The Fed is a long, long way behind the curve. |

The partisan leftism of much of the tech industry has led to conservatives calling for state intervention in the digital sphere. Elon Musk's recent purchase of Twitter proves this was wrong. |

History shows that few issues can challenge political order quite like inflation. Central bankers and globalist institutions will demand more power to respond to the crisis they created. Bitcoin gives their opponents a weapon against them. |

Money is the lifeblood of an economy. It is a vital tool that allows for peaceful exchange, savings, and human thriving. Unfortunately, it is because money is so important that it often becomes a powerful tool for the state.

One place where #Inflation is nothing new is #Pharmaceuticals.
This is the more tragic because soaring drug costs are driven by specific government policies.

The SCOTUS decision on abortion isn't really about the legality of abortion in America. It's all about how far you have to drive to get one. But many progressives can't stand that people have different values in different places. |

Politicians thoroughly enjoy times of war. Periods of bellicosity are when the most power-hungry members of the political class indulge in their most depraved political fantasies. The Russo-Ukrainian War has been no exception to this trend. |

While economists and journalists are fond of saying inflation is "X" percent, in reality, the price indexes don't measure inflation accurately. Instead, they are statistical constructs created to benefit the government. |

Nobody sees SCOTUS as anything other than a wholly politicized super-legislature so spare us the sanctity of institutions concerns.

It’s impossible to overstate the earthquake this will cause inside the Court, in terms of the destruction of trust among the Justices and staff. This leak is the gravest, most unforgivable sin.
