Health Disinformation Didn't Start With COVID-19, Lessons From The Past Can Help Combat ItAnti-vaccine sentiment is not new but from the 1950s until the late 1990s it was isolated small pockets of deniers. With claims that MMR vaccines, and then preservatives in vaccines, caused autism, the west coast of America became overrun with vaccine denial. In 2021, anti-vaccine sentiment switched to middle America with COVID-19. The names change but health disinformation remains the same, as are ways to combat it. A recent study looked at combating typhoid misinformation in Sierra Leone and found that explicitly addressing falsehoods seems more effective in busting misbeliefs th... read more

"It's not inflationary because it's paid for."In the discussion of President Biden's so-called Build Back Better plan, a common refrain among its proponents is that the bill will not increase inflation because it is paid for with tax increases on corporations and wealthy individuals. There are four problems with this logic: 1. The bill is likely to include permanent tax increases along with spending provisions that will sunset. The proponents want the spending to be extended later. So, in a true sense, it is not paid for. 2. The key issue is not what the plan does to the economy over a 10-year budget window but what it does o... read more

Jews Don't Count?I was curious to see how the BBC reported the story involving Israeli ambassador Tzipi Hotovely's speech at the LSE and the surrounding intimidation. Following threats on social media [“We’re storming in,” “Let’s make her shake,” and offers of pints to anyone who smashed her car windows] and protests outside during her speech, protesters pushed forwards and rushed towards her as she left. Security guards hurried her to her car. The mobbing provoked widespread criticism, including from from senior politicians.

Whether to exercise that option is the question before Congress and the navy. *Here's What You Need To Remember: * In fact, if it does things wisely, the U.S. Navy can turn technical shortcomings to strategic and political advantage. Here’s how: it could procure a squadron of diesel boats in large numbers, station it permanently in the Far East, close to potential scenes of action, and place it under a combined U.S.-Japanese submarine command.

Gun makers moving to red statesWashington Examiner: The announced departure this past week of Remington, the country’s oldest gun manufacturer, from a blue state to a red state is just one of several instances of firearm companies relocating to friendlier jurisdictions in recent years. Remington, founded more than 200 years ago, will soon be headquartered in LaGrange, Georgia, hundreds of miles away from its current base of operations in New York, where the business was founded. The move is evidence of a shift in the gun industry in which companies are moving to new states — typically Republican-led states wi... read more

John Kerry is a terrible negotiatorWashington Examiner: President Joe Biden must not really believe in global warming. If he did, he would not have appointed the world's worst negotiator as his climate czar. John Kerry, as President Barack Obama's secretary of state, negotiated the Iran nuclear deal. He handed the world's No. 1 terrorist regime cash with which to conduct further terrorist operations. In exchange, Iran's theocratic regime made several promises it never intended to keep and, in many respects, did not keep. But Kerry was so desperate to get a deal signed (any deal at all, no matter how bad) that he ... read more

Don't woke my Marine CorpsRed States: Wokeness in the military has been pervasive for years now, going back to the early years of Donald Trump’s time in office. That first seemed to manifest itself in the battle over transgender troops and using taxpayer money to pay for them to “transition.” Since then, things have broadened out to prioritizing “diversity,” including recruitment ads featuring LGBT pride parades and the inclusion of critical race theory. But while the Army, Navy, and Air Force seemed to readily embrace such ideology, the Marine Corps had been largely resistant…until now. According to Gen... read more

On Political Power and Biracial CouplingsA significant theme in the biracial couplings which took place during the age of imperialism has been the coupling of European men (who were politically powerful) with non-European women (who were often powerless). The Spanish and Portuguese conquistadors coupled with native women and created a new people—the mestizos. The word “mestizo” comes from the Spanish word “mestizaje,” which means miscegenation. The most famous biracial coupling of the eighteenth and the early nineteenth centuries was between Thomas Jefferson and Sally Hemings, a black slave girl. They began their relation... read more
