Iraq’s PM Kazemi Announces Parliamentary Vote June 2021
(Hawar News Agency) The main reason Mustafa al-Kazemi’s government was formed was to conduct elections. The prime minister just announced that would happen June 6, 2021. There are several actions parliament must now take to make that a reality. The first thing that needs to be tackled is amending the election law. The main sticking point is voting districts. Some want to keep the previous system and have each province be a single district. Others want to create smaller ones based upon population. Those supporting the latter proposal argue that having more districts will make p... more »

The PH's Q2 2020 GDP meltdown
The Philippines experienced technically an economic meltdown in the second quarter (Q2) this year with a -16.5% GDP contraction, the lowest since 1981. The country is also in a recession having a two consecutive quarterly contraction -- along with SG, HK, and many EU countries. The virus did not cause this. All countries have their own share of virus infections. It was the PH government's hard lockdown policies that started in March 16 up to the present. See Covid 16, Philippines having the strictest lockdown policies in the world (July 28, 2020). In Europe, notice also that no-l... more »

Last night's documentary
I watched the Van Tulleken twins’ documentary last night, *Surviving the Virus: My Brother and M*e. Whenever I watch documentaries these days, suspicious and intrusive thoughts fill my head. That’s what comes of writing for this kind of blog. Firstly, I muse over how much I’m being manipulated by the edit. Then I picture the camera crew and assorted personnel saying things to the presenter like “Can you beef that up a bit?” Persistent cynicism does interfere with the immersive experience any filmmaker might hope to give his audience. The generally accepted left-wing consensus is ... more »

Why Antifa Is The Keyser Söze of Social Unrest
[image: undefined] Below is my column in the Hill newspaper on yesterday’s hearing in the Senate, which ended abruptly with Sen. Hirono walking out after a confrontation with Sen. Cruz over his objection that the Democrats were avoiding direct criticism of Antifa. In roughly 50 hearings as a witness in Congress, that was a first for me. I have been in a hearing with a lock down but I have never been in hearing with a walk out. I was not sure if I was expected to turn off the lights after both senators left. The dramatic ending of the hearing however quickly supplanted the underlyin... more »
Sad! Cuomo Begs The Rich To Return To State He Ruined!
New York Governor Andrew Cuomo is desperately begging rich people to return to the state and to New York City.

"The Incredible Economic Costs of Political Censorship"
That's the title of a long, but very interesting article by Aaron Clarey about the real cost of political correctness and "woke"-ness to the US economy, both businesses and consumers.

Here's a lengthy excerpt from a still longer article, which I do recommend you read in full. So what is politics but a dump truck full of sand being poured into the US economic engine?

The Importance of Resistance to Government Ordered Mask-Wearing
From the Ron Paul Institute: (Bold and Italics mine) There is a short video included on the link.. Excerpts: The United States was once thought of as the country with rugged individuals. You left such individuals alone and they left you alone. The country was filled with such men and women. They appear to be mostly gone from America now. Stunningly few think or act for themselves. Governments in many parts of the land have ordered mask-wearing to “battle” a virus that is about as deadly to the average American under 80 as hay fever. The mask-wearing order has resulted … Continue read... more »
GA: Bad Cover-Up Management In Times Of Crisis
For years, I worked for an administration whose philosophy about any problematic or controversial issue was, "If we don't talk about it, the public won't notice and this will all blow over in a while." It was a terrible management philosophy, not just because it was dishonest and unfair, but because it failed. It failed hard. Every. Single. Time. See? Doesn't everything look better now?People always found out, and they always got upset about the exact things administration was afraid they'd get upset about. And on top of that, they were upset that administration had been trying to h... more »

The High Cost of PPP Jobs
Economists have begun to study the effects of the Paycheck Protection Program, on which Congress spent about half a trillion dollars. The results so far do not look good. Chetty et al. write: We therefore conclude that the PPP had little material impact on employment at small businesses: we cannot rule out a small positive employment effect of the program (of e.g., 3-4 pp on employment rates), but it is clear that the program did not restore the vast majority of jobs that were lost following the COVID shock. The study by Autor et al. has a more positive tone. But notice this senten... more »
