By Wolf Richter That’s what’s different this time: Stuff blows up because of leverage and cascades through the crypto space because everything’s interconnected.

By David Wojick EPA is stuck. What they will now do is anybody’s guess. Enjoy their dilemma!

By Bruce Bialosky Given how opinion is divided on this issue, the reaction to that headline will either be there are too many to count or nothing the committee does is dangerous because Trump is the real danger.

By Tom Joyce Editors’ Note: California politicians are insufferable, arrogant, condescending, and bigoted. They can’t stand if someone just has the temerity to have a different point of view than they do. What can we do as Arizona citizens? One thing, is to take your vacation plans elsewhere. We admit the beaches in San Diego […]

By Craig J. Cantoni The cherry-picking of history has led to speech codes, a new intolerance, and fragile college graduates. The great work of history below is not only relevant to today’s war in Ukraine but also to the identity politics and victimhood that pervade the United States today.
