Rich People Who Grew Up Poor Are Less Likely To Be Sympathetic To The Poor Than Those Born Wealthy
A saying in psychology goes that more truth comes out when people are drunk. This is even when it comes to politics, where studies showed that young people who espouse more liberal beliefs get more conservative when they are inebriated. They stop saying what they think they should be saying based on what people want to hear. Along that line, a wealthy person who was raised poor is more likely to see through excuses of poor people than someone born into money, according to a new paper. They are less 'sympathetic' than people who have never had to struggle. read more read more

The over reaction to abortion decision
Power Line: The extent to which liberals have gone bananas over the *Dobbs* case is a phenomenon that demands explanation. Most liberals, after all, understand that the Court has not banned abortion, or in fact placed any limits on it whatsoever. It has simply remitted the issue of abortion to the political sphere where it was prior to 1973, and where it always has belonged, thus ending a half century of usurpation by the Court. Moreover, abortion laws in the U.S. have been extremely liberal compared with most countries–almost every country other than North Korea, in fact. This ... read more

By Chris Morrison RIO DE JANEIRO, BRAZIL – With many countries, including Germany, scouring the world for supplies of oil and gas and firing up dormant coal power stations, one of its most distinguished atmospheric scientists, Professor Hermann Harde, has castigated politicians for reacting to increasingly shrill climate horror stories and “believing they can save […] The post German climate scientist says humans cause less than 0.05°C of global warming, warns of “anarchy” from “delusional” net zero policies first appeared on The Rio Times.

So what happened next?
It only seems like yesterday, but was actually two days ago, that I wondered aloud whether the BBC's capitulation to a complainant's call for the Institute of Economic Affairs (IEA) to be labelled when introduced (e.g. as 'free-market') would lead to think tanks from other parts of the political spectrum receiving similar treatment. I specifically mentioned BBC favourite the Resolution Foundation. Well, the BBC is making headline news of another Resolution Foundation report today under the headline *Levelling up to cost billions more than government thinks, says think tank* and, ... read more

A Conservative Nervous Breakdown?
The Conservative Party desperately wants to form the Government of Canada. But, Michael Harris writes, it will never achieve its objective as long as it pretends to be an American knock-off: The Conservative Party of Canada has never really been a new party that came together in a merger. It has always been a dysfunctional hybrid in which the hard right of its Western roots conducted a hostile takeover of the Progressive Conservatives. Peter MacKay’s lingering legacy. Stephen Harper’s success was more the product of dreadful Liberal scandals and hapless, opportunistic leadership c... read more

ME: That Private School Funding Goal Isn't Fully Realized Yet
So Maine's voucher program must now include private religious schools. The Supremes have thrown more weight behind the notion that the free exercise of religion requires taxpayer subsidies. But in Maine, there's still a catch. As many of us have been reporting, Maine actually got ahead of this particular case by amending their Human Rights law to specifically say that a private school can't get taxpayer dollars unless they abide by the laws against discrimination, including laws forbidding discrimination against LGBTQ persons. That's a problem for the schools involved in *Carson v.... read more

C19: New Israeli sperm donor study raises potential concerns
There is a long history of ill-founded scare stories around fertility and vaccination. Professionals can therefore expect to be discredited for raising valid concerns and hence will be inclined to shy away from looking at the evidence. Any reasonable scientist would not hold a view either way in the absence of evidence. The current evidence is that the lipid-nanoparticles become distributed around the body, concentrating in the ovaries and testes in the first 48 hours. read more
