Why I Believe that Covid Derangement Syndrome Is Real
“I believe this syndrome to be real and deserving of a name that grabs attention. Such attention-grabbing is warranted, because I further believe that this syndrome poses a dangerous risk to humanity that dwarfs the risk posed by SARS-CoV-2.” ~ Donald J. Boudreaux

Socialism-in-Practice Was a Nightmare, Not Utopia
“When the French sociologist, Gustave Le Bon published The Psychology of Socialism in 1899, he feared that, ‘One nation, at least, will have to suffer it [the establishment of a socialist system] for the instruction of the world. It will be one of those practical lessons which alone can enlighten the nations that are bemused…

The Florida Versus California Showdown
“California and Florida provide a clear example for the dubious efficacy of Covid-19 restrictions.

Covid Cases, like Political Careers, are Dropping Like Rocks
“Whatever your theory as to why cases are dropping like rocks – natural immunity, PCR testing changes, drops in tests, seasonality – none of it can be credited to political interventions.
