[Not] Just Plain Bats

Relevance: 15%      Posted on: September 21, 2021

It’s been several months since I’ve focused on Peter Daszak and the EcoHealth Alliance (EHA), which was funded by your tax dollars to “improve” upon viruses found in nature.  The evidence for this has been out there for some time, but many avoid drawing any conclusion, finding it circumstantial. Or…

Expelling Dissent

Relevance: 15%      Posted on: May 21, 2020

The University of Queensland may expel 20-year-old philosophy major Drew Pavlou. He has been protesting against the Chinese Communist Party and in support of the Hong Kong protesters, but perhaps most tellingly has criticized his school’s ties to China. Xu Jie, the Chinese consul general in Brisbane, has blasted Pavlou…

The Cheese Stands “Unprotected”

Relevance: 15%      Posted on: November 30, 2018

Governments tempt us — with special privileges and advantages.  You know what also tempts us? Cheese. Cheese? Yes. In the Netherlands, cheese is a big deal, as Baylen Linnekin relates in “Cheese Fight Ends With Court Declaring Producers Can’t Copyright Taste,” over at Reason — where I go for all…

The Seinfeld Referendum

Relevance: 15%      Posted on: November 15, 2018

There is an unmistakable connection between Washington State initiative guru Tim Eyman and New York City comedian Jerry Seinfeld. Mr. Seinfeld gave viewers what they wanted for nine seasons as the star of the self-named 1990s hit television sitcom, Seinfeld. It was slyly defined as “a show about nothing.” Meanwhile,…

Too Much – Part 2

Relevance: 15%      Posted on: July 15, 2016

Yesterday, we discovered that modern America asks police to do “too much.” Which prompts the next question: What should police stop doing? Here are two immediate reforms where police can do less, while protecting the public more:      (1) End the War on Drugs. Preventing violence and fraud is…

Freedom First Aid Kit

After a year-long battle, congressional Democrats have rammed through Obamacare, a massive expansion of government control over the health care industry and a massive assault on the liberties of every doctor, patient, insurance agent, and taxpayer in the country. But the issue is far from settled. So, let’s use this…

Excepting Responsibility

Relevance: 15%      Posted on: August 10, 2017

Responsibility: demand it of others, expect it demanded of you. So you might think that those who try to redress old grievances with compensatory (“reverse”) discrimination would be a bit more careful. Yesterday I wrote about the bizarre Google Memo case, wherein an employee was fired for (basically) warning of…

The Worshipful and the Incurious

Relevance: 15%      Posted on: June 3, 2021

Did the recent pandemic begin as a leak from a lab in Wuhan, China? Who knows? But in these United States there suddenly appears serious — even bipartisan — interest in finding out. I’ve been curious for some time, but why wasn’t more of the media interested from the beginning?…

Accidentally on Purpose?

Relevance: 15%      Posted on: July 5, 2022

“Just an accident?”  Maybe.  But the “accidental” release of the private information of thousands of California gun owners is just the sort of thing that many foes of Second Amendment rights would happily perpetrate. So we can be forgiven if we harbor doubts. On June 27, the California Justice Department’s…

Women and Men for Life

Relevance: 15%      Posted on: January 31, 2017

At Townhall on Sunday, I applauded the Women’s March on Washington for being peaceful, despite Madonna’s F-bomb laden speech, culminating with her daydream of “blowing up the White House.” We’ll never know how many more folks marched in that much-heralded event than attended last weekend’s pro-life march, because the mainstream…
