Things Milton Friedman Got WrongI've been reading some Friedman lately, trying to refamiliarize myself with the intellectual granddaddy of education privatization. I'm fascinated by Libertarian thought, because I think they get some things really right, but it's canceled out by the things they get terribly wrong, and it was the wrongness that jumped out at me from some of Friedman's words. And yes, he's a major figure in economics and I'm a retired English teacher, but if economists can pretend to be education experts, well, then... *The great virtue of a free market system is that it does not care what color peo... read more

War in Europe and the rise of raw propaganda
By John Pilger Marshall McLuhan’s prophecy that “the successor to politics will be propaganda” has happened. Raw propaganda is now the rule in Western democracies, especially the US and Britain On matters of war and peace, ministerial deceit is reported as news. Inconvenient facts are censored, demons are nurtured. The model is corporate spin, the currency of the age. In 1964, McLuhan famously declared, “The medium is the message.” The lie is the message now. But is this new? It is more than a century since Edward Bernays, the father of spin, invented “public relations” as a... read more

Democrats on the defensive on cultural issuesKaylee White: For years, the Left has dominated much of the common culture and its institutions, from Hollywood to public schools to workers unions. But not anymore. The hold Democrats once held on cultural issues is breaking, as evidenced by several recent elections. In November, Republican Glenn Youngkin won the Virginia gubernatorial election, performing shockingly well in blue counties among parents of K-12 children and suburban women because he made parental access to education a focal point of his campaign. In New York City, left-leaning voters rejected leftist mayoral can... read more

Unions accused of forgeries to take member moneyRed States: Last week, the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals heard arguments in three cases dealing with public employee labor unions accused of forging employee signatures on dues-authorization cards so they can take their money without permission and spend it on politics. When combined with *nearly a dozen* other instances of union forgery filed just in courts under the purview of the 9th Circuit, not to mention a separate case currently pending before the 8th Circuit, the actions vividly illustrate just how far unions will go to advance their own political agenda with no regard fo... read more

Trudeau, a victim of workers?Washington Examiner: In Justin Trudeau's mind, he's always the victim. Trudeau, the boyish, blackface-wearing prime minister of Canada, views himself as an oppressed underclass. His oppressors are Canadian truckers — working people with concerns about his vaccine mandates and his long-standing border lockdown. He believes that by staging a protest in his capital city of Ottawa, the truckers are committing treason — or something very close to it. For parking their trucks outside Parliament, making noise, and engaging in civil disobedience, these truckers have been accused by Trud... read more

Companies that still demand vaccine mandates have something in commonChildren's Health Defense: After the U.S. Supreme Court last month froze the Biden administration’s COVID-19 vaccine mandate for large private employers, some companies — including Boeing, General Electric and Starbucks — dropped plans to implement the mandate.

Most of the large employers that opted to mandate COVID vaccines for their employees, even though the Supreme Court ruled they didn’t have to, have something in common: BlackRock and The Vanguard Group have... read more
