I think I accumulated my first 10 thoughts for our tenth anniversary online. I hope I'll have one big one or 20 new ones in honor of our twentieth anniversary next year, but in the meantime I'm going to borrow from previous editions to note the occasion today. It was 19 years ago this weekend -- 19 years ago today, I think, but maybe tomorrow -- that John Hinderaker went
The Social Order People move for many reasons: climate, housing, employment, education, family, taxes, health, and so forth. During the Covid-19 pandemic, some beleaguered residents relocated to states with less-restrictive policies, such as Florida. In Ayn Rand’s 1957 novel, Atlas Shrugged, entrepreneurs and thought leaders dissatisfied with the prevailing leftist regime took refuge in a community of likeminded souls, called Galt’s Gulch.

People are not as intrigued as they used to be with an allegedly open social media platform that’s not really open, in fact is something of a dictatorship. I know you’re not supposed to kick someone when they’re down. But when that someone has been acting in the most unAmerican, peremp...
Epoch Times reports: Grocery chain Kroger said it closed down two California stores Saturday after the Long Beach City Council approved a COVID-19-related “hero pay” ordinance that increased wages by $4 per hour. The pay increase, mandated in January, was for workers who were employed at pharmacies and retail stores with 300 or more employees in the Southern California city. The move was announced earlier this year, but the Ralph’s and Food 4 Less — both operated by Kroger — were shut down on April 17, employees told local media outlets. “As a result of the City of Long Be...
