A libertarian is a conservative who has been oppressed
When I was young, there was an old saying that a conservative is a liberal who has been mugged.

Along these lines, a Politico article by Rich Lowry […] The post A libertarian is a conservative who has been oppressed appeared first on Econlib.

Heighten the Curve: Why Opened States’ COVID “Spikes” Are Meaningless
[image: heighten-the-curve-why-opened-states-covid-spikes-are-meaningless] States that have “opened” from coronavirus lockdowns have, as many predicted, generally experienced no appreciable increase in pandemic intensity. Nonetheless, mainstream media have continued portraying every odd COVID-19 “spike” in such states as a dire portent, as CNN did over Memorial Day weekend and NBC did more recently. But as people argue over the data, something is left unsaid: Even when virus cases do increase, it’s irrelevant.

Racial Justice, a Soros-Signed Paycheck, or Bling? Motivations for Rioters

As Riots Continue, More Evidence that COVID-19 Narrative Was Fake News and Deliberately Covered up by the Corporate Media

Pandemic Pressure: The Coronavirus Is Antagonizing America’s Relationships

President Donald Trump’s decision to withdraw from the Open Skies Treaty is unfortunate but hardly surprising.

To Those Who Would Embrace the Miraculous Sense of Victory, I say: miraculous expectations often produce miraculous manifestations. Never before in the history of the Earth has humanity--and thus the individual--had such a great need to know the truth. What we may call the force of human error winding its way through many areas of life has created a network of opaquing hindrances over the screen of man’s mind and heart. Thus true understanding and pure feelings often do not flow into channels supplying the needs of humanity. But take heart: heaven never sleeps, and heaven is n... more »

The Frontlines Of Venezuela’s Fight Against COVID-19
Since the emergence of COVID-19 in December of last year, when it became evident that this would be a global pandemic, epidemiologists made it clear that in the fight against the new coronavirus the key would be to flatten the curve. To do so, two very important factors should be taken into account: reducing the contagion rate and increasing the capacity of the healthcare system. In other words, the objective is to flatten the curve to a level that allows a reinforced healthcare system to attend to all the cases. That is why, early on, the Venezuelan government decided to adopt s... more »
George Floyd Protests: Police Escalating Violence Across The US
While some in media have condemned the protests as violent “looters” imposing “tyranny” upon the country, much of the violence is being deliberately instigated and propagated by an out of control police force that appears to have gone berserk over the widespread public challenge to their authority and their impunity to act as they wish. Six days after Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin killed George Floyd, asphyxiating him by keeping his knee on his neck for nearly nine minutes, America is still burning with outrage.

White Supremacist Infiltration Of US Police Forces
The term “systemic racism” does not mean that individuals who operate within the system are generally racists. Instead, it means the institutions we have in place produce racially disparate effects on minority populations. And, in that regard, there are well-documented empirical studies of systemic racism in law enforcement agencies—including the use of policies like stop and frisk and disparate rates of policing activities including traffic stops, searches of motorists during traffic stops, levels of respect shown during stops, misdemeanor arrests, marijuana arrests, use of SWAT ... more »
Ethics Groups Call On Coronavirus ‘Vaccine Czar’ To Disclose Potential Conflicts
The Trump administration's decision to hire its new "vaccine czar" as a private contractor, rather than a government employee, has alarmed some ethics experts who say the designation will involve him in programs that could channel millions of federal dollars into the development of coronavirus vaccine and treatments without requiring he disclose financial holdings or potential conflicts.

US Drone Assassinations Continue Despite German Effort To Restrict Them
A year after a German court issued a ruling that would have dramatically restricted U.S. drone operations in accordance with international law, no substantive changes have taken place, as the lawsuit that led to the March 2019 ruling is still stuck in the appeals process. The lawsuit, filed by Yemeni engineer Faisal bin Ali Jaber over the killing of two family members, alleges that the German government intentionally ignored U.S. forces’ use of Ramstein Air Base, near Mannheim, as a vital data transfer point in drone assassinations.

Nicaragua Battles COVID-19 And A Disinformation Campaign
Every country in the world is trying to balance its fight against the virus with the need to have a functioning economy, and there is plenty of debate about what the balance should be.

Thierry Deronne :“The Revolt That Is Happening in the United States Is the Same One That Founds the Resistance of the Venezuelan People”
Thierry Deronne: The daily problems derived from the US blockade and sabotage, such as the lack of water, gas, electricity, petrol, or the price war of a predominant sector, which have brutally reduced the purchasing power, have not caused the popular revolt that the United States is hoping for. On the one hand because the government continues to invent restraint barriers, allowances, food at low prices, on the other hand because the population has been in a resistance school for at least six years, helps each other and adapts very quickly.
