Mamdani's statement that the government should "seize the means of production" is thuggish. His opponents are better. Curtis Sliwa is honest, decent, & pro-market. Cuomo's economic policies are infinitely better than Mamdani's, and Cuomo seems to have learned from his past policy mistakes.

The study says there are “increased mortality risks in both transgender men and women treated with hormonal therapy,” including “increase in suicide.” Why should the state pay for "gender affirming care" that increases suicide rates?

Rothbard celebrated the fall of Saigon and approvingly claimed libertarians were to the left of both conservatives and progressives. Hayek was happy about Pinochet ousting Allende & admired Edmund Burke. He was not a European-style conservative, but was conservative in American terms.

It's what you'd expect based on how broadly the lefty 2nd Circuit has defined "hostile environment" in Title 7 cases (like Schwapp v. Avon, where it allowed a harassment lawsuit based on remarks not even aimed at a black man that he heard about, but later turned out to be the nonracial word naggar)

It's insane to use tax money to build a new grocery store in a town that's lost 3/4 of its people, when they can just travel a short distance to other grocery stores.

I can't think of a better way to undermine your credibility than to run an article implying that Pierre Poilevre -- a pro-trade, pro-Ukraine conservative who respects election results & is pro-market -- is somehow a danger to democracy. In Canada, it is the Liberals who censor, not Conservatives.

How are the Canadian conservatives any more "illiberal" than the Canadian liberals, who enforce speech restrictions that would be deemed to violate free speech in the U.S. & some European nations? Poilevre is not remotely like Trump, and you undermine your credibility by suggesting any parallel.

Soros is still funding candidates at the local level. The Washington Post reported that Soros provided most of the financial support for two Virginia candidates -- the left-wing candidates for county prosecutor who unseated moderate Democrats in primaries -- in Arlington & Fairfax County, Virginia.

This is similar to how progressives wrongly think cops kill unarmed black people every day, & wrongly think cops kill mostly black people, when in fact, most unarmed people killed by the police are white. In 2019, 9 unarmed black people were shot & killed by on-duty cops, compared with 19 whites.

Being socially moderate is better and much more popular than either being socially liberal (irrationally tearing down Chesterton's fence) or being socially conservative (resisting natural change). Neither main party is socially moderate, creating an opening for a socially moderate third party.

Communist countries are much more racist than the West since 1850 or so. North Korea is much more racist than South Korea. The most racist German party -- the AFD -- won virtually all the seats in the former East Germany, which was communist from 1945-1989.
