I remember learning about democracy back in grammar school. We learned about it in the context of the American Revolution: Britain’s King George III may have ruled as a capricious monarch, but the intrepid Colonists fought for the then-novel concept of democratic self-government. A cursory glance at Merriam-Webster is instructive. That venerable dictionary defines “democracy” […]
Top O’ the Briefing Happy Monday, dear Kruiser Morning Briefing friends. Eddenfolck would occasionally don a Richard Simmons jumper and do Tai Chi on his roof because he was terrified of becoming his mother. Many thanks for the birthday wishes on Friday. I was a most excellent day, thanks […]
Hunter Biden is scheduled to testify behind closed doors tomorrow. He will sit for a deposition though for months he insisted he would only testify in public. On Monday, Axios published an interview with Hunter. Coincidence? I don’t believe in coincidences in politics. Hunter rarely speaks to the press. When he does, it usually doesn’t […]
The idea that Donald Trump or one of his Republican allies might take office is so scary to the left that they’ve taken to calling them being elected via the democratic process a “threat to democracy.” Never mind the contradiction there — it’s more the hyperbole that counts. It’s gotten so bad that when one […]
The “insurrection” narrative has always been absurd, but this new publication from the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health might be the most insane take I have read recently. Gun control is necessary, you see, to prevent armed insurrections. Now, I don’t know about you, but I am as frightened by the idea of […]
There’s a massive disconnect in the Democratic Party between the notions that Joe Biden is fit to be president and Donald Trump is a danger to the survival of American liberty. The two theses are incompatible. If you believe Trump is the next coming of Hitler, how can Democrats […]
Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar of Minnesota might wish to contain her area of concern to the United States for a little while. Just a thought. No, I’m just talking about Omar’s now-infamous speech Saturday where she was speaking to a group of her constituents about the breakaway, unrecognized Republic of Somaliland and how she would […]
The government shows up at your business and demands you pay the salaries of the regulators who lord over you. If you refuse, you’ll be ruined. You have little recourse. You’ve never even voted on the policy because no law implementing it exists. Bureaucrats in D.C. cooked up the idea, and a political appointee […]
All eyes are on the Republican primary here Tuesday but arguably the larger story is the primary that is not happening. Source link
The environmental, social, and governance movement is attempting an “end run around democracy” by forcing companies to adopt climate policies without passing any legislation, warns Tennessee Attorney General Jonathan Skrmetti. While ESG “is not entirely bad as a concept,” Skrmetti, a Republican, warns that a “sort of hardcore behind-the-scenes approach to ESG” involves inserting “really […]
