Bill Maher on the midterms

Maher begins by analogizing the midterms to the World Series victory of the Milwaukee Brewers, a team with one of the smallest budgets in Major League Baseball. They won, say sMaher, because they “know how to deal,” trading away good players for even better players. Maher says that the key to both Republican and Democratic…

Two overhangs, but for different reasons

Te Pāti Māori announced in August that they did not want party votes. They explicitly said they want to create overhang. Their MPs did not even party vote for TPM. And their strategy worked. In 2023 they got 3.1%. In 2026 they got 0.6%. That is an 80% reduction in their party vote, or a…

TweetI assumed that I had already shared here at Cafe Hayek this recording of a 1983 appearance of Thomas Sowell on William Buckley’s Firing Line (with an appearance also by Robert Lekachman). My assumption is mistaken. I now remedy this oversight. The post Thomas Sowell and William Buckley appeared first on Cafe Hayek.

Was Mossadegh a liberal, democratizing force?

in economic history, politics - USA Tags: Iran
One reads and hears so many times that Iran was on the path to democracy until a CIA coup installed the Shah in 1953. It turns out that account is quite wrong, as is detailed by Simon Sebag Montefiore: As his support in the Majlis ebbed, Mosaddegh demanded autocratic powers. Both the shah and Majlis…

His elevation does not bode well for anyone who hoped that Trump would moderate the policies that alienated voters in the midterm elections.

How do you profile the mind of one of the most evil men who ever roamed the Earth? The Office of Strategic Services (now CIA) tasked psychoanalyst Walter C. Langer and psychologist Henry Murray to come up with an extensive analysis of Hitler’s mind in 1943. The reports used many sources to profile Hitler, including […]

The bean counters at the Taxpayers’ Union have done a final update on the extra spending that each party is promising.
