President Trump is fulfilling his campaign promises and delivering results for the American people. When it comes to the U.S. Department of Education, it is no different. Whether dramatically reducing, dismantling, or completely eliminating the department, the president will be good to his word, and work towards that end is already underway. Read More ›

PETA is suing the NIH and the National Institute of Mental Health, claiming that the agency's refusal to allow them to receive closed-circuit monitoring of research monkeys and communicate directly with them violates the animal rights fanatics' First and Fifth Amendment rights. The irrationality begins in the complaint's first and second paragraphs when the complaint alleges PETA has a right to receive communications from "fellow primates" that are "willing speakers."

Another Round of Inflation on Deck

When we wrote this in 2022, it took about $1800 to buy an ounce of gold. Today, it is more like $2900. That implies an $1800/$2900=0.621 or a 38% decline in dollar value over that period. Prices will eventually adjust, over a period of years, to the new, lower value of the currency, with some prices moving faster and some moving slower. “All things being equal” (they never are but it is a good principle), we should expect a $2900/$1800 or 61% rise in prices of goods and services going forward, compared even to the inflation-boosted prices that we have had to get used to in 2022-2024.

Stand Up for (Ideological) Science 2025 Day!

Yesterday was “Stand Up for Science 2025” day, which featured rallies around the country to “defend science as a public good and pillar of social, political, and economic progress.” But that isn’t what it was really all about. Former NIH head Francis Collins spoke (and sang) at the D.C. rally, and he was the champion censor of heterodox views during Covid... Read More ›
