You may have read articles that the increase in crime rates over the last year represent a spike and not a trend. Rafael A. Manguel, director of legal policy at the Manhattan Institute, argues effectively that this thinking is whistling in the dark and the increase is here to stay unless policies governing policing and incarceration change. Its a scary prognosis, but unfortunately is probably right.
This is a reasonably thorough review of the conflict and the media coverage of it. Originally written in 2014 but completely applicable today.
Many people wonder how close we are to completely destroying our patrimony and beginning the process of sliding into our national old age and decline. Mr. Hansen articulates this concern.
I wrote this essay today for the Wall Street Journal on the issue of CEOs taking the side on a political issue.
This is a very thorough analysis of what happened in the Georgia election process. Nothing will change the results of the last election, but this article explains why so many of us believe the election was stolen.
Andrew Biggs is an accomplished economist who has studied public sector payroll costs and public sector financing. In this article he discusses the problem with the “so-called” Covid Relief bill with regard to the bail out of private sector retirement plans that are mis- managed and severely underfunded. Public sector pension plans are underfunded even more. He raises the legitimate question that this is the beginning of what could be a $4 trillion bailout for public pensions. It doesn’t belong in a Covid bill and it doesn’t belong in any bill in the future.
I’m way behind so I’m posting a number of articles without an introduction. I’ll try to catch up later
Dr Shanker is a radiologist who works in the health policy arena. This article reviews some of the many failures of Governor Cuomo. Remember, this is the New York Governor who was lauded for his leadership during the Covid crisis, received an Emmy for his press conferences and constantly praised for his great leadership in comparison to red state governors like DeSantis of Florida. He certainly is articulate and presentable. He also is a liar and his policies directly lead to the deaths of thousands of people and then he lied about it and tried to move the blame to others. Despicable.
This article by Mollie Hemingway shows two things – both not new. First, the hypocrisy of Democrats in calling for Trump’s impeachment because of his alleged incitement of riots and not calling for the impeachment of Democrats who are on record at inciting violence. Second, the record of Democrats actually inciting violence.
This is a fascinating read on the the subject of changing the subject. I enjoyed it immensely.
