To date, we still don’t have especially good studies on the actual causes of excess deaths by state and country when the world first went into lockdown in spring 2020. For political reasons, these deaths were all generally been lumped together as “COVID deaths,” but this coding was appallingly sloppy. According to the World Health Organization’s…

The PayPal Fiasco Was No Accident
Commentary Over the weekend, PayPal sent out an update to its terms of use or acceptable use policy. It included a shocking addition.

Media Spin on Gun Control Doesn’t Match Voters’ Opinions
News Analysis Red flag laws are the top priority of Democrats and gun control advocates. Polls show that Americans overwhelmingly support these measures—by margins ranging between 2-1 and 3-1.

Commentary The first time I heard the phrase “pink collar worker” was two days ago from The Atlantic, which published fascinating data on what it describes as mass burnout among nurses, childcare workers, teachers, and other women-dominated professions.

Commentary Let’s understand the significance of the Bank of England’s announcement that it would start buying $65 billion in UK public debt.

Hey, Recession Isn’t So Bad, Says the Washington Post
Commentary You know it’s going to happen. The Biden administration spent months saying there will be no recession. When it finally came in the technical data, they said that it’s not true.

The Establishment’s Response to Trump’s Threat to Political Corruption (Part II)
Commentary The reality is that the intelligence community, the Obama administration, and the political establishment never expected Trump to win in 2016.

Commentary The strategy of buying the dip went on for months, with unrelenting hope that this was all surely temporary. The economy was opening. Congress was spending.
