The Governmentalization of Social Affairs

Walter E. Williams titled one of his books, More Liberty Means Less Government. Less government means less government intervention, less government extraction, less government spending, and less government employment. More liberty means less government. I know that you hate neologisms, yet I nonetheless propose the governmentalization of social affairs. Albert J. Nock titled a book, Our Enemy, The State. That title is catchier than Our Enemy, The Governmentalization of Social Affairs. But Nock’s title is less sound, I believe. Click for Full Text!

Economic History Tells Us Something Important About Industrial Policy
Post Date: 2022-12-07 20:05:27 by Charles_Byrd

The headline of a recent Washington Post op-ed, “Biden is reviving a lost Democratic industrial policy playbook,” suggests an important question: Why was that playbook abandoned? Writer Henry M. J. Tonks spends considerable time explaining why a group of “young, highly credentialed politicos enamored with the high-tech economy of the future” initially created such a playbook back in the 1980s. After the volatile, stagflationary 1970s, these “Atari Democrats” were looking for a big, new economic idea to propel the party and to counter the “Reaganite, free- market revivalist ascendancy,” as Tonks puts it. They thought they found their answer in the ...

Dallas-area megachurch pastor Matt Chandler returned to the pulpit Sunday (Dec. 4) after a three-month leave of absence. The Village Church’s board of elders reinstated him following disciplinary actions for Chandler’s “inappropriate” social media relationship with a woman who is not his wife. His congregation greeted his return with a standing ovation. In an email to the congregation obtained by Julie Roys, the elders told the church congregation Chandler had been “diligently working through the development plan” they gave him, including “time spent in study and prayer, personal reflection, and multiple intensives with trusted outside experts.” ...

At November’s Red Pill Expo in Salt Lake City, Utah, Descheemaeker spoke with TNA senior editor Bill Jasper regarding the efforts of the state and federal governments, international NGOs, and environmental organizations to “rewild” much of Montana’s land, basically locking up the land and resources that domestic farmers and ranchers need — and have had legal rights to for generations — for food production.

Colorado's Anti-Discrimination Law Forces Artists To Echo the State's Messag

Lorie Smith is a conservative Christian and a website designer who thinks she should be able to engage in her chosen occupation without compromising her moral beliefs. But that is illegal in Colorado, where Smith is forbidden to create websites for heterosexual weddings unless she is also willing to create websites for gay weddings. The Colorado Anti-Discrimination Act (CADA) simultaneously censors Smith by stopping her from announcing the principles that guide her work and requires her to express a message that contradicts those principles. The question for the Supreme Court, which heard Smith's case on Monday, is whether those commands are consistent with her First Amendment right to ...

Paul Pelosi Is Attacked, So Naturally the Capitol Police Want More Money

Never let a good crisis go to waste. This has been the organizing principle of the political elite during the turmoil, both real and manufactured, of the past couple of years. The federal government, using pandemic-induced fear, expanded tremendously during this time frame (read more on that here and here). This is indicative of a wider problem with bureaucracy called budget maximization. Bureaucrats act to maximize their respective budgets to obtain more power. This is more than likely a main driver of the massive budget deficits the federal government has been running over the past three fiscal years. Bureaucracies use excuses such as rising crime and increased deaths. To justify their ...
Pearl Harbor: Hawaii Was Surprised; FDR Was Not

Comprehensive research has shown not only that Washington knew in advance of the attack on Pearl Harbor, but that it deliberately withheld its foreknowledge from our commanders in Hawaii in the hope that the “surprise” attack would catapult the U.S. into World War II. On Sunday, December 7, 1941, Japan launched a sneak attack on the U.S. Pacific Fleet at Pearl Harbor, shattering the peace of a beautiful Hawaiian morning and leaving much of the fleet broken and burning. The destruction and death that the Japanese military visited upon Pearl Harbor that day — 18 naval vessels (including eight battleships) sunk or heavily damaged, 188 planes destroyed, over 2,000 servicemen ...

Real ID Enforcement Has Been Pushed Back. Again.

The Real ID Act was passed in 2005. 17 years later, the law has yet to go into effect. On Monday, government officials announced that enforcement would be delayed another two years. What's taking so long? Rollout of the law, which would require travelers flying domestically in the United States to show a security-enhanced photo ID, has been plagued by confusion and state-level noncompliance. Despite years of warnings that enforcement was coming soon, it seems increasingly clear that Real IDs are far from actually becoming required at U.S. airports and federal buildings.

A Law That Facilitates Cannabis Research Exemplifies the Modesty of the Reforms We Can Expect From Congress

President Joe Biden last week signed into law what Marijuana Moment describes as "the first piece of standalone federal cannabis reform legislation" ever enacted in the United States. That is probably the most impressive thing you can say about the new law, which will make it easier for scientists to study a drug that is still prohibited for all other purposes under federal law. The legislation, which received broad bipartisan support in the House and Senate, suggests how far the national conversation about cannabis has progressed since California became the first state to approve its medical use in 1996. At the same time, the bill's modest scope shows how much distance ...

A California task force studying the long-term effects of slavery and systemic racism on black residents in the state has estimated a whopping $569 billion in reparations is owed to the descendants of enslaved people, according to a report. The nine-member panel concluded that black Californians whose ancestors were in the US in the 19th century are due $223,200 each due to housing discrimination practices utilized from 1933 to 1977, the New York Times reported.

Nigerian soldiers fighting against a jihadist group regularly ordered women to be given abortions without their consent, according to a new Reuters investigation. The US has provided Nigeria with billions in military aid, weapons and training. Victims and soldiers told Reuters that women and girls in the custody of Nigeria’s 7 Division were given injections to terminate their pregnancies. Some victims were killed by the abortions, and women who resisted were beaten. It is unclear when the program started,” but had existed since at least 2014. Click for Full Text!
