Climate activists have found a new way to force us to pay more for energy. New York and Vermont passed laws that will raise the price of oil, gas and electricity by taxing the past. New York's new law demands fossil fuel companies pay $75 billion for carbon emissions dating back to the year 2000. Other Democrat-controlled states plan to ...Read more

America needs more rules to protect workers, say some from both parties. Sen. Josh Hawley wants more rules empowering unions. Barack Obama's Labor Secretary says there's "no fairness, no equity, no concern for safety, no concern for children, even!"

European countries, they say, have more laws protecting workers, and so "Europe is better."

Socialism is popular. A Pew study reports that more than a third of American adults view it positively. How is this possible? Little has brought more misery -- first in the Soviet Union, then in China, Cuba, Nicaragua, now Venezuela ... One reason young people support socialism is because their social media feeds show videos made by popular but ...Read more

Politicians bash businesses. "Stop the greed!" shouts Sen. Bernie Sanders. Many Republicans are equally ignorant. When some Florida businesses raised prices in response to sudden demand during a crisis (a useful signaling device in a free market), Attorney General Pam Bondi called that "sickening ... disgusting ... unacceptable!" Now she's U.S. ...Read more

The Department of Government Efficiency has started making moves. The D.C. media are furious about his attempts to cut government agencies. But I take Elon Musk's side. More efficient government has been promised often. It's never happened. Instead, government just grew. Sen. Rand Paul showcases stupid government "investments" like the $118,000 ...Read more

Finally, a real libertarian is president. That's in Argentina, where last year, Javier Milei surprised pundits by winning the election by a landslide. Now that he's had a chance to govern, my new video covers the results and explains why Milei is now even more popular.

Argentina was once one of the richest countries in the world. Then, ...Read more

"Sustainability" investments became popular a few years back. So-called experts said companies shouldn't just focus on profit. They should put more effort into being "nice." Funds pushing ESG (environmental, social and governance) were all the rage. Giant investment firms like BlackRock pressured companies to hire more women and minorities. CEO ...Read more

"Donald Trump will be a tyrant!" So my neighbors claim. I live in Manhattan. Feel for me. Yes, Trump says wild things, like riffing about "terminating" parts of the U.S. Constitution. But I don't think he means it. As Joe Rogan said to Trump when candidate Trump came on his show, "You say a lot of wild s---!"

In any case, podcaster Michael ...Read more

Colleges went mad. They charge students big bucks and then make them feel guilty. My new video looks at a new documentary called "The Coddling of the American Mind." It persuasively suggests that today, young people are anxious and depressed because "adults" at their schools brainwashed them. Students like Lucy Kross Wallace at Stanford.

"I was...Read more

Media scream, "Too many people have guns!" Second Amendment activist Maj Toure says more people should carry guns. "Everybody should be walking around," he says, "like, 'Oh man, I left my gun in the house. Let me go back and get it.' It should be as normal as a cellphone." Activists and some politicians want gun control. Toure says, "All ...Read more

'Tis the season for giving. For me, that mostly means supporting charities. One organization I donate to is SSP, Student Sponsor Partners, a nonprofit that gives scholarships to kids from low-income families. SSP helps children escape bad public schools by providing grants to students so they can pay the cheaper tuition at mostly Catholic ...Read more

The movie "The Matrix" gave us the "red pill" and the "blue pill." The red wakes you up to reality; the blue keeps you indoctrinated. Internet culture then invented a black pill. Those who take it think the world is doomed. So, podcaster Michael Malice wrote the book "The White Pill," calling it a "symbol of hope." "Young people in recent years,...Read more
