Mr. Lavrov’s New York Shuffle

Now picture a true gentleman, the foremost diplomat of these troubled times, in total command of the facts and endowed with a delightful sense of humor, taking a perilous walk on the wild side, to quote iconic Lou Reed, and emerging unscathed. In fact, Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s New York moment – as in his two interventions before the UN Security Council on April 24 and 25 – performed the diplomatic equivalent of bringing the house down. At least the sections of the house inhabited by the Global South – or Global Majority. Click for Full Text!
New Koch

After the founder of a large foundation dies, his heirs often transform it. Compare industrial tycoon Henry Ford to the Ford Foundation, which rejects “the model of capitalism we have today.” But it is uniquely odd that Charles Koch’s enterprises have moved so far left while the donor remains alive. Billions of dollars are at stake. Many current and former donor partners, grantees, and staff agree: “Old Koch” was about economic freedom and the core values that sustain a free society, but “New Koch” downplays or hides those values in order to appeal to the contemporary Left. Old Koch focused on getting government out of the way so that civil society could ...

This NBC News article says that even though many people have reported tinnitus following vaccination, the CDC has thoroughly investigated this and found no link. In short, according to the CDC, these are just “coincidences” where people are vaccinated just before they develop tinnitus. Click for Full Text!

Some Factual and Economic Errors of “Common Good Capitalism”

There’s been much talk lately of “common good capitalism.” Among the leading voices insisting that the state must engineer capitalism to ensure that it serves the common good are Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) and American Compass founder Oren Cass. Also writing favorably about “common good capitalism” (although the full measure of his support isn’t clear) is frequent AIER contributor Alex Salter. I dissent. Click for Full Text!

Scott Lincicome is the vice president of general economics and trade at the Cato Institute. He recently coauthored and edited Empowering the New American Worker: Market Based Solutions for Today’s Workforce, which we talk about today. In light of “Buy America” and continuous calls for bettering the position of the American worker, what really is the state of the American worker today? Who is the American worker? Lincicome answers these questions and more as we explore policy areas that hinder workers when they were intended to help. Click for Full Text!

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis campaigned alongside Republican gubernatorial candidate Lee Zeldin in New York ahead of the 2022 midterms, calling him an "important choice" on issues of crime and COVID-19 mitigation measures. But on Monday, Zeldin thanked DeSantis for his support by endorsing the person who would be his biggest GOP rival should he enter the 2024 presidential primary: former President Donald Trump.

Vanity Fair: Murdoch Fired Carlson Because of Prayer Speech

Most leftist media speculated that Fox News fired Tucker Carlson for three reasons: a sexual harassment lawsuit; his commentary about the mostly peaceful protest at the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2023; and the network’s almost $800 million settlement with Dominion Voting Systems. But Vanity Fair has offered a different one: During a speech on April 21 at the Heritage Foundation’s 50th Anniversary gala, Carlson urged his listeners to pray for the future of the country.

Some Questions on the Intriguing Twentieth Century

In a 1930 essay titled “Economic Possibilities for our Grandchildren,” John Maynard Keynes predicted that in 100 years, “assuming no wars and no important increase in population,” the standard of living in “progressive countries” would be “between four and eight times as high” as it was then. His most optimistic scenario is being realized. In 2022, real GDP per capita (equivalent to income per capita) in the US has already been multiplied by 7.3, with eight years to go (see Bureau of Economic Analysis, National Income and Product Accounts, Table 7.1, revised March 30, 2023). Even if the rate of growth is only 1% per year between now and 2030, real GDP ...

COUNTER PUNCH: Punching Back Against Tyranny, Locally & Successfully
Post Date: 2023-04-27 00:47:14 by Charles_Byrd
0 Comments
The first step in successfully fighting back against escalating woke tyranny is "hyperlocal" and involves getting out and meeting one's neighbors, says Counterpunch author and Western Journal founder Floyd Brown in this interview on Conversations That Matter with The New American magazine's Alex Newman. The antidote for the feeling of powerlessness that the totalitarians want people to feel is getting involved locally and building community. Brown, a leading conservative media figure, believes the radical left has left even many traditional Democrats behind. Conservatives should capitalize on this, especially in inner cities and among Hispanics. That is part of why he ...
Without Nuclear Power, Germany's Energy Future Looks Short of Energy

For all of the terrible political decisions made in recent years, it's not often that you get to see a country's government effectively contemplate national suicide. At least, that's the way it feels to watch German officials boldly stumble into the country's energy future, which looks all too much like a future without energy. Berlin politicians' commitment to green ideology, which had already gone down a series of unproductive paths, recently culminated in the closure of Germany's last nuclear power plants without a credible plan for keeping the lights on or the economy producing.

'Stand Your Ground' Laws Are Back in the News, but It's Not Clear Why

"Stand your ground" self-defense laws have been back in the news recently, although it is not clear why. That mystery highlights longstanding journalistic confusion on this subject, which misrepresents such laws as a license to kill anyone who looks at you cross-eyed. "A string of recent shootings have put renewed attention on the self- defense laws often known as 'stand your ground' laws," NPR's Adrian Florido reports. "In the span of a week, 16-year-old Ralph Yarl was shot twice after ringing the doorbell of the wrong house in the state of Missouri as he was trying to pick up his siblings. In upstate New York, Kaylin Gillis was shot and killed after ...
The dastardly difference between 'equity' and 'equality'

Liberals sounding the clarion call to embrace diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) and Black Lives Matter (BLM) have demonstrated some glaring missteps in how eagerly they support such initiatives or in their understanding of the application of the ideology itself. The difference between "equity," as delineated in DEI, and "equality," as delineated in our Constitution, must be understood. Click for Full Text!

Supreme Court Hears Arguments in Home Equity “Theft” Case

The Supreme Court is hearing oral arguments in Tyler v. Hennepin County, Minnesota today. The justices will hear from lawyers affiliated with the Pacific Legal Foundation (PLF) representing Geraldine Tyler, a 94-year-old grandmother, and lawyers representing the county where she used to own a one-bedroom condominium. The facts, on the surface, are simple. When Tyler fell behind on paying the real estate taxes on her condo, the county sold it. She owed $15,000 in taxes (including fees, interest and penalties), and the county sold the condo for $40,000 — and kept the balance. Click for Full Text!
Nikki Haley Is Half Right About Abortion

Speaking on Tuesday from the headquarters of the Susan B. Anthony List, a pro-life nonprofit with an associated political action committee, presidential hopeful Nikki Haley set out to do something other declared and anticipated GOP candidates have mostly avoided: She talked at length about abortion. The subject has occupied a strange place in the 2024 Republican primary— perhaps predictably, as it's been 50 years since we've had a presidential election without the legal framework of Roe v. Wade (1973). Former Vice President Mike Pence consistently and unambiguously presses his pro-life case. But the rest of the field has been noticeably quieter, with former President Donald ...
