“American free-market capitalism generates—it allows things to be brought to life. Socialism merely distributes what is. And in the end it always relies on lies, the first of which is always that it works.” So well said. I prefer a system that creates to 1 that merely allocates.

The democratic socialists apparently won’t rest until they’re all huddled together in the hollowed out shells of the big blue cities, which are hemorrhaging people who can think and are successful. Brilliant. #economy

This day of reckoning for the scourge known as the @splcenter is long, long overdue. I guess they are finally “reaping the whirlwind,” to quote their cheerleader (up)Chuck Schumer. wsj.com/opinion/the-splc-is-… #scandal

It looks more and more to me like at least one of the leftist justices is leading this continuing leakage of confidential material, not just some crusading staffer. This scourge needs to be rooted out and fully exposed. #supremecourt wsj.com/opinion/supreme-cour…

The constant redefining of words like “democracy” is central to the leftist goal of creating unbreakable and permanent Democrat power. wsj.com/opinion/what-do-demo… #democracy @WSJopinion

As someone also “born with a silver spoon in my mouth” — not — I can attest to the absolute, bedrock truths in Coach Lou’s remarks. I had a single mom who taught me all of what he says here, mostly by doing and not by talking. Setting the example is massive power. #CoachLou

Hear hear! A win for the people vs. the out-of-control administrative state! Time to fire up my V8 for a smoky burnout and a victory lap. #climate @WSJopinion wsj.com/opinion/trump-epa-re…

This is the best summary of Tucker Carlson's descent into darkness that I've seen. It might not be obvious with just one or two data points (an interview here, a stray comment there), but the overall direction is unmistakable. The only question is, Why did he do this?

No matter what your beliefs are — left, right, whatever — we simply must agree that political assassin@tion is 100 percent wrong, period. We are on a dangerous and self-destructive path when we start to feel like it’s ever OK. It’s not. Ever. foxnews.com/us/assassination…

As we wrestle in my home state of Minnesota with the fact of deep corruption in the political and economic orders, I want to draw attention to the “social justice” dimension of this problem. Catholic social teaching has a good deal to say about official corruption, insisting that it undermines confidence in our leaders, compromises the integrity of the institutions of government, and subverts the rule of law. But even more importantly, it deeply harms the poor, stealing resources from them, increasing inequality, and blocking essential services such as health and education. And if the widespread fraud in Minnesota is also present in a number of other states, we are dealing with a massive violation of human rights and a heinous attack upon the poor and needy. This should not be a matter of partisan politics. Rather, wherever this corruption exists, it should be fought and those responsible for it brought to justice.

The ‘International Law’ Illusion in Venezuela: Rogue regimes now use it as a shield to protect their own lawbreaking. @WSJ Editorial: wsj.com/opinion/internationa…

Venezuelan journalist Germania Rodriguez Poleo's message to those who are mad that President Trump captured dictator Nicolas Maduro: "Do not for a moment let your hatred and disdain for Donald Trump have you defending the dictator of my country, which was destroyed by [Maduro] and [Hugo] Chavez and their system 20 years ago. We Venezuelans are very, VERY happy that our dictator has been arrested, removed, and will be put through a trial. It's the first time we're seeing justice in 26 years! Now let's hope they get all of those criminals out of Venezuela and then we can return home."

Individualism versus collectivism marks one of the core differences between America and communism. In America, I am reminded that I am an individual—made in the image of God with inherent dignity and worth. In Communist China, I was taught that I was merely a replaceable part of the Socialist collective machine, dispensable whenever the needs of the state demanded it. Collectivism kills individualism by destroying the individual.

Next thing you know, LA will pass a law demanding that owners of existing apartments build a bunch of new ones. How else will they convince anyone to build new housing stock? Strict rent control will keep pushing investment away. Smart move, LA.

Great to see that more corporate boardrooms are refocusing on profitability and stepping back from destructive ESG and DEI dogma. #ESG #DEI @Comm4Prosperity

One of the most thoughtful things I’ve read in quite a while.
