"A leader who votes his convictions when it costs him is exactly what voters say they want. The fights that Mr. Paul has picked — including the debt, Dr. Fauci and the Fourth Amendment — are now mainstream conservative priorities. Being early shows leadership and principle. It is not a weakness."

I'm sure the Lutnick sons' Liberation Day Treasury shorts were a coincidence. I'm sure their AMD stake was a coincidence, and I'm sure their plan to purchase tariff refund rights (betting AGAINST the legality of the tariffs) was a coincidence. https://t.co/POMYZVM7iJ

The OCU removed spitting on Satan from its rite of initiation for catechumens and those being baptized.

I guess it’s never wise to offend your patron.

Shoplifting is often treated as a minor offence. It is no such thing. The shoplifter is stealing from everyone, because the costs of the stolen goods and the extra security are passed on to customers.
The shoplifter is also violating a what should be a respected communal space. Shopkeepers daily display trust in their customers. They stack their shelves for convenience rather than security, because they do not want to treat us as thieves.
The shoplifter spits on that trust, desecrates the space, erodes our social capital and mocks the principle of property on which freedom rests.

The review of TPD now looks like the drunken racist uncle at a party no one wants to acknowledge.

Refused signoff by the Commissions better regulation watchdog, promoted via misinformation from a hard right populist, it's now being delayed.

The "new Right" that imposes tariffs claim they care about small businesses, but small businesses are the least able to deal with the cost, compliance, and uncertainty of tariffs:

In a new season of scapegoating, it's worthwhile to recall the trials of one of the great scapegoats of the Andrew Mellon.

Eastern Orthodoxy is the closest. It maintains unbroken apostolic succession, the faith of the first seven ecumenical councils, and the liturgical and sacramental life of the undivided Church of the first millennium with fewer later innovations than Catholicism or the Reformation breaks of Protestantism.

There's lots of discourse about people using AI to do their thinking for them. But what about the people using AI for their feeling too?

In @ActonInstitute, @DrJohnPinheiro argues that my @EncounterBooks THE CIVILIZATION OF COMMERCE shows how we need to see markets “as one of the interlocking components of the civilizational achievement that we call ‘the free society’.”
