President Donald Trump Should Pardon Edward Snowden

Snowden did a good thing. He deserves a pardon.

“Socially Responsible” Funds: An Investment Con?

I save money by investing in passive investments funds and exchange-traded funds that don’t charge fat fees. They grow our economy without misleading people about “sustainability.”

Better Than Charity: Capitalism and Self-Interest

What helps the most people in the most efficient way is greedy, self-interested capitalism.

Private Property’s Harvest

Yes, we’ve got the pandemic, lockdowns, a worsening deficit, etc. But we still live in a relatively free country at the most prosperous time in human history.

The Climate Hustle

Climate change is real. It’s a problem, but I doubt that it’s “an existential threat.” Saying that makes alarmists mad.

China’s Dark Turn Away From Capitalism and Freedom

A recent New York Times editorial board member wrote that it was difficult to know whether the United States is “better, worse, or the same” as China.

Big Spending Donald Trump

Last week, I tallied Joe Biden’s spending plans. This week, President Trump’s.

Big Spending Joe Biden

Historically, Democrats moved left during the primaries, and then back toward the center once nominated. Not this time. Biden’s people met with Bernie Sanders’ staff and concocted a grotesque orgy of spending.
