He’s the One

I recently shared my advice for men on finding a wife. Now I’m going to share my advice for women on finding a husband. While a few bigots will object to the idea of males advising females, the only question that genuinely matters is whether my guidance is good. To start, most of my advice…

Monetary policy miscellany
16 Aug 2023 Leave a comment
I did an interview with Mike Hosking this morning on monetary policy and inflation, against the backdrop of this afternoon’s Reserve Bank Monetary Policy Statement. Where we differed seemed to be around wages. Hosking asked how did wage inflation get so high, contributing to the ongoing inflation problem, and suggested that wage earners should now […]

“Oh Georgia, No Peace I Find”: The Fourth Indictment of Donald Trump and the Criminalization of Election Controversies
16 Aug 2023 Leave a comment
Below is my column in The Messenger on the Georgia indictment. As expected, the indictment is a sweeping racketeering based prosecution involving former president Donald Trump and the 18 other defendants. The scope of the alleged conspiracy is massive. “The call” is one of those steps but the famous line that has occupied hours of […]

Age of Rage: UChicago Report Finds 30 Million Americans View Violence as Justified To Keep Trump from Power

I recently asked, in light of the free speech implications of the second federal Trump indictment, when the price is too high for those who seek to jail the former president. The chilling answer is found in a new report out of the University of Chicago showing that almost 12 percent of the population, representing […]

Why Wind & Solar’s Contribution To World Energy Demand Will Always Be Trivial
15 Aug 2023 Leave a comment
The vacuous ninnies promoting the line that the world can run without hydrocarbons are always rattled by news to the contrary. As much a symptom of ideological groupthink, as evidence of the West’s woefully inadequate system of general education, the Extinction Rebellion crowd would have it that coal, oil and gas are forms of toxic […]

What should the MPC do?
15 Aug 2023 Leave a comment
There is a full Monetary Policy Statement from the Reserve Bank and its Monetary Policy Committee tomorrow. No one expects them to do anything much, but I’m less interested in what they will do than in what they should do. It is hard to be optimistic that the Committee will do the right thing at […]

An Epiphany for Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez?
15 Aug 2023 Leave a comment
I’ve complained about excessive bureaucracy at the Food and Drug Administration. And this is not just run-of-the-mill grousing about red tape. The FDA actually is responsible for needless deaths because of pandemic incompetence, anti-vaping mentality, and delayed approval for life-saving drugs. Interestingly, I may now have an unexpected ally in the battle against FDA red […]
