Scott Pelley told the truth. So CBS News fired him.

[Michael Shellenberger @shellenberger]

CBS has fired “60 Minutes” correspondent Scott Pelley, and rightly so. He betrayed journalistic principles in platforming debunked science, in being closed-minded and dogmatic, and in behaving like a pompous ass. Good riddance.

The Cosmic Treasure Chest: 10 Million Galaxies in a Single FrameThis is the first major image released by the largest digital camera ever built for astronomy — the 3.2-gigapixel LSST Camera on the Vera C. Rubin Observatory.And it is absolutely staggering.Every single speck of light you see in this vast field is not a star.
It is an entire galaxy — each one home to hundreds of billions of stars, planets, and possibly entire https://t.co/yQw975m5mo this one breathtaking snapshot, astronomers have captured roughly 10 million galaxies. That’s only about 0.05% of the total number this revolutionary observatory is expected to image over its 10-year survey.Captured in the direction of the Virgo Cluster, this image transforms what looks like empty space into a glittering tapestry of distant universes stretching back billions of years. The few brighter foreground stars belong to our own Milky Way — everything else is far beyond our galaxy.This is more than just a pretty picture.
It is a preview of a new era in astronomy — where we will map the changing universe in unprecedented detail, hunt for mysterious dark matter and dark energy, discover thousands of new asteroids, and witness cosmic events as they unfold in real time.Welcome to the future of discovery.

JUST IN: “The Tiger” Abelardo de la Espriella wins the most votes in Colombia’s first round & advances to the presidential runoff.

82% chance he's Colombia's next president.

This is much more of a two-horse race than anyone was expecting. The right-wing has consolidated around Abelardo.

With the majority of Paloma voters, he will now be the clear favorite in the runoff. 🇨🇴

Bring me my Bow of burning gold:
Bring me my Arrows of desire:
Bring me my Spear: O clouds unfold:
Bring me my Chariot of fire!

Nor shall my Sword sleep in my hand:
Till we have built Jerusalem,
In England’s green & pleasant Land.

"They had economic freedom and sound money."

[Handre @Handre]

The 19th century was history's greatest experiment in minimal government and maximal human flourishing. You had a federal budget that consumed roughly 3% of GDP, zero income tax until 1913, and a monetary system anchored to gold. The results speak louder than any economic theory: America transformed from an agricultural backwater into the world's industrial powerhouse in less than a century.

Consider the numbers. Real wages doubled between 1860 and 1890. Railroad mileage exploded from 30,000 miles in 1860 to 164,000 miles by 1890. Steel production jumped from 77,000 tons in 1870 to over 4 million tons by 1890. No central planning committee orchestrated this transformation. No industrial policy czar allocated resources. Entrepreneurs risked their own capital, succeeded or failed on their own merits, and consumers voted with their wallets.

The government's role was enforcing contracts and protecting property rights. No antitrust lawsuits against successful companies. No bailouts for failed ventures. No regulatory agencies strangling innovation in its cradle. When Jay Gould built his railroad empire, he answered to bondholders and customers, not bureaucrats. When Andrew Carnegie revolutionized steel production, the market rewarded efficiency and punished waste.

Critics love to mention the "robber barons" while ignoring that these men drove down prices and improved quality through relentless competition. Standard Oil reduced kerosene prices by 90% between 1870 and 1897. Carnegie slashed steel prices so dramatically that skyscrapers became economically viable. They got rich by making everyone else better off.

Today's economists worship GDP growth rates of 3% as miraculous achievements. Nineteenth-century America routinely posted growth rates above 4% with no stimulus packages, quantitative easing, or industrial policy. They had economic freedom and sound money.

[U.S. Senate Banking Committee GOP @BankingGOP]

Chairman @SenatorTimScott has long opposed the Biden SEC’s climate disclosure rule, and @SECPaulSAtkins is right to rescind it.

@SECGov should be focused on its core mission – not imposing a backdoor climate agenda on American businesses.

This is a win for common sense.
