“Ad calamitatem quilibet rumor valet.” (Every rumor is believed against the unfortunate.)Syrus, Maxims.

“Extemplo Libyæ magnas it Fama per urbes:
Fama malum quo non velocius ullum;
Mobilitate viget, viresque acquirit eundo;
Parva metu primo; mox sese attollit in auras,
Ingrediturque solo, et caput inter nubilia condit.

Tot vigiles oculi subter, mirabile dictu,
Tot linguæ, totidem ora sonant, tot subrigit aures.”

We will discuss the intellectual and economic (and moral!) foundation of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’ argument that we’d all be more virtuous if we just took a boatload more money from the filthy rich and then gave it to the poor. Why is it that the ideas of the free market that (in case you haven’t noticed) brought the world untold prosperity are after all so hard to grasp? We discuss.

This past weekend I was at an event held outdoors, after which there was much socializing in to the evenings. And so I didn’t even hear about the Covington Catholic School craziness until after the full video as already out. I watched some video and couldn’t believe my eyes, THIS is what all the vitriol […]

This article is intended as a template to help conservative opinion writers the next time the “mainstream” news reports a scandal involving conservatives. It’s not directed at leftists, because they don’t care. (Or as the Red Queen Kathy Griffin usually says, “Off with their heads!”) WASHINGTON — Recently we were disturbed at a video released by […]
