@allenanalysis Nobody should be telling Scott Pelley to "inject falsehoods" into his reporting.

That's his job.

If you’re claiming to fight fascism, you probably shouldn’t get a Nazi tattoo and threaten to jail your political opponents.

[Nick Gillespie @nickgillespie]

This was the thesis of an op-ed I wrote for @nytimes in...1999. Feels good to be vindicated by @Super70sSports:
'Consider instead the singular wisdom learned from animated sages like Bugs Bunny. The irrepressible, Oscar-winning rabbit and his cartoon cohorts have taught millions of American children precisely the sort of powerful, subversive truths from which adults try to shield them: that smart-alecks have more fun; that mocking authority is often the right thing to do; that tortoises beat hares (especially when tortoises cheat); that the world is often a cruel and desperate place that would just as soon drop an anvil on your head as give you a hand up, and, most important of all, that a sense of humor and resilience is the only way to make it through the years to come.'

Don't know if it would make the cut there today. https://t.co/27fVpwr77c

Just Hugh Laurie eloquently destroying another clueless "journalist". What a perfect start to the week.

[The Daily Economy @thedailyeconomy]

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and others argue that tariffs and industrial policy can restore America’s strength.

In reality, diversified supply chains and open markets provide greater resilience than economic nationalism.

Let's be clear: none of them would get a 60 Minutes salary if they left.

Leslie Stahl is 84
Bill Whitaker is 74
Jon Wertheim, at 54, is the spryest of the three.

They're staying for the money. And because they have nowhere else to go.

Katie Couric infamously edited her interview with Ruth Bader Ginsberg because RBG took the anti-woke position that Colin Kaepernick's kneeling was "dumb and disrespectful," and Couric didn't want to hurt RBG's standing w/ the Left. https://t.co/bXPbvNOyBD

Last month, the UAE became the latest member to withdraw from OPEC

[The Daily Economy @thedailyeconomy]

Once a dominant force in global energy markets, OPEC is facing growing fragmentation from within and intensifying competition from without.

Everyone once in a while, I see a post that reminds me why I'm still on this vile platform.

The allegations against Platner are better corroborated than the allegations against Brett Kavanaugh were and it will be interesting to see who manages to be consistent in their beliefs about such things.

[Chris Cillizza @ChrisCillizza]

I don't know if Graham Platner's candidacy survives these latest allegations in the New York Times. It may well do so.

But I do find it the height of hypocrisy that the same Democrats who said that we need to believe all women are rushing to discredit the story because it quotes a GOP operative who dated Platner in the 2010s.

I mean, how do they square that?

[John Podhoretz @jpodhoretz]

Six years ago today. This was real. This was policy. This is how we found ourselves living in ANIMAL FARM.

[Vincent Geloso @VincentGeloso]

One of the most famous claims in economics is that Hong Kong became rich because it practiced laissez-faire under John Cowperthwaite.

Milton Friedman called it an "almost laboratory experiment" in free markets.

We decided to test that claim in this Public Choice article

Imagine having your legacy be moving one of the NFL's founding franchises from Chicago to freaking Hammond.

Pathetic for the team, pathetic for Chicago and Illinois "leadership".

@ArthurLHerman With all due respect, I have:

Those costs were passed on.

[Arthur Herman @ArthurLHerman]

A lot of came from the companies and suppliers who ate the costs rather than boost prices.
You can look it up.
