Why Commies Hate Your Thanksgiving Dinner
Mises Wire - Ryan McMaken

In 1923 Lenin released a propaganda pamphlet titled Down with the Private Kitchen. It explained how private dinners with one's family are reactionary, bourgeois, and generally something requiring total destruction.

Reconstructing Reconstruction
The Misesian - David Gordon

James Ronald Kennedy is right that the policy of centralized despotism that Lincoln instituted has continued down to the present and has enslaved us all.

The French State Plans to Force You to Drive an EV
Mises Wire - Alexis Sémanne

In Europe, just as in the US, governments have decreed that “not enough” people are buying EVs. Now the French government wants to force more EV sales.

If Trump Didn’t Send Musk to Talk with the Iranians…He Should!
Power & Market - Ron Paul

One of the most encouraging and promising things President-elect Trump said in his post-election acceptance speech was, “I’m not going to start a war. I’m going to stop wars…” We all understand that campaign promises often have a short shelf life after the election is over, but the Trump campaign’s repeated talk of peace over war at least demonstrates that he finds it a winning point to make to American voters.

High odds that the LCMS was working with the federal government from the very beginning.

EXCLUSIVE: An "antifascist" Redditor and self-proclaimed "anarcho-communist" has been unmasked as a Special Agent for the United States Secret Service.

Thanks to publicly available information, counter-extremism researchers with the Justice Report can confidently name 30-year-old Thomas Jack "TJ" Hamil—an 1811 employee for the Department of Homeland Security—as a lifelong anarchist, left-wing extremist, and a devout follower of "Antifascist" shock jock Robert Evans.

The Justice Report documents the latest Antifa/Federal Agent connection, which presents a brazen conflict of interest for the USSS ahead of Trump's impending second term.

“NAFTA Fever” and the Myth of Government-Created Free Markets
Mises Wire - David Brady, Jr.

Critics of free markets claim that 1980s and 90s were near-pure laissez-faire when, in reality, the regulatory state didn‘t go away. The North American Free Trade Agreement supposedly was the apex of free markets. Think again.

Stanley’s Orwellian Anti-Fascism
Friday Philosophy - David Gordon

Elite higher education in the US often seems to be a caricature of itself. As David Gordon shows, Yale University‘s Jason Stanley has redefined fascism to include the nuclear family and reading the Classics.

The Context Behind Donald Trump’s “Takeover” of the American Right
Mises Wire - Connor O'Keeffe

While it is often framed in the media as a battle between principled conservatives and an angry, non-ideological movement focused solely on personal loyalty to Trump, the current civil war on the American right is only the latest chapter in a much older story.

America does not have an over-incarceration problem. It has an under-execution problem.

Capital punishment has nothing to do with deterrence. It exists because we, like our creator, require the shedding of blood for satisfaction.

It’s way past time to move past vibes-based and aesthetics-based judgments being the main driver of beliefs and thus being the lens of interpreting the world.

Welcome back to Cigars and Theology. Today we have Vincent Soybeard from Shots with Augustine, a show about fine whiskey and dogmatic theology to talk about the decline of culture. How are you doing Mr. Soybeard?

I'm doing well but our culture is in total decline as demonstrated by Andrew Tate. Things were fine before Andrew Tate but now they are bad.

Mmm indeed. I read about this in Chesterton recently. He was talking about the supernatural virtues of small town autarkic nuclear reactors.

Victory Is Our Goal
Mises Wire - Murray N. Rothbard

The first libertarian revolution succeeded, and we can do the same — but we, too, must have the will to triumph, to accept nothing less than total victory.

Musk-Trump Interview: What Really Caused the Inflation of the Biden Presidency?
Power & Market - Ryan Turnipseed

On the evening of Monday, August 12, President Donald Trump sat down with Elon Musk on an X (formerly Twitter) space. There were a lot of very nice promises about massive deportations and crime crackdowns—promises which could completely reverse the demographic trends of the country and “Take Back the Streets”! A lot of anti-war rhetoric, including acknowledging the tragedies of the wars in Ukraine and Gaza, was also passed around, a promising sign for a nation that has been perpetually intervening in foreign nations, killing thousands of Americans and natives since 1898.

No reason not to try if you can, though.
