The 2023 Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel (colloquially referred to as the Nobel Prize in Economics) was awarded to economist Claudia Goldin. To preface this article, I don’t believe there should be a Nobel Prize in economics, as I’ve pointed out before. My reasoning on this is in line […]

This crisis is nothing new. From Sydney to London to untold numbers of American college campuses, we hear incendiary cries for destroying the Jewish state, for a new Jihad or Holy War, all in the name of an ostensibly noble and just “anti-colonialist” struggle. Tens of thousands march in major European cities, and with frenzied […]

The vast majority of mass shooters are male, and male biochemistry helps to explain why. Yet the person who opened fire at Nashville’s Covenant School was biologically female. Higher amounts of the hormone testosterone give men larger muscles, more significant skeletal muscle, and a higher percentage of red blood cells. Testosterone also tends to give men unwarranted self-confidence and […]
The real Covid scandal is emerging right in front of the inquiry’s nose, writes Fraser Nelson in the Telegraph: Britain could have escaped the horrors of lockdown, but nobody pulled apart the doom models driving it. Here’s an excerpt. Let’s go back to when much of the world had copied the Wuhan lockdown, with two major […]
Something most people don’t think about when they see an 18-wheeler rolling down the road? Corporate welfare. Something many people do think about when they see that 18-wheeler, especially when following one down the interstate and staring at the ubiquitous ads that indicate that many companies are hiring, is the “truck driver shortage.” You’ve all seen them […]

Editors’ Note: We are probably not the first to notice that anti-Semitic and pro-terrorist demonstrations abroad tend to be heavily young and male-dominated, but in the US, they are largely female. Perhaps this is because more women are now in college and subject to mandatory indoctrination. But that does not explain it all. Why is […]
The following is adapted from a talk delivered on September 12, 2023, at the Allan P.

In the high stakes New York trial of leading presidential candidate Donald Trump, Judge Arthur Engoron ruled in September that Trump defrauded his lenders by inflating the value of his famed Mar-a-Lago estate by “at least 2,300%, compared” to an “appraisal” by the Palm Beach County Tax Assessor. Several news outlets from left to right challenged that claim because it’s blatantly flawed. CNN, for example, reported: it’s widely […]

Editors Note: We agree that people have a right to say reprehensible and ignorant things. We don’t think the state should do anything to curtail their right to speak. However, private actors such as employers have every right to take their views into consideration when hiring. Those who wish to speak should be free to […]

The October 7th murderous terrorist attacks in Israel led to protests erupting on many college campuses. These protests were both verbal and somewhat physical on Israel and the Jewish people while Israel had yet to engage militarily. These protests were justifiably branded by many as anti-Semitic. There have been many calls for changes at numerous […]
