FreedomFest Review

Day 1 Sioux Falls is bigger than I expected. Almost 200,000 people. Very nice downtown. Aside from a generally weird, smelly and unhelpful Walgreens clerk, the people are extremely friendly and welcoming. Economy is clearly booming here. Labor shortage is acute, post-Covid hysteria. Restaurants and shops have reduced hours and seating. A lot of very…

Notice That Your Boss Is More of An Asshole Than Ever? Here’s Why

Part of the genius behind NBC’s famous and now classic sitcom The Office was the character development that moved the audience to engage in an identity investigation of actor Steve Carell’s Michael Scott. As the head of Dunder Mifflin Scranton, Scott’s decisions in his love life, intra-office relations and even just plain business were often…

Nice Beavers

With Joe Biden out in the U.K. yucking it up with Boris Johnson about forming a new Atlantic Charter to fight (ever notice how everything is a ‘fight’ nowadays?) “climate change”, it just seems again as though they will never learn. No matter how daunting, how imaginary, or worse, how dauntingly imagined a crisis might…

The Difference Between a Minarchist and an Anarchist…

…used to be, as the joke among anarchists went, about six months. Thanks to the great Michael Malice, it has been reduced to the time in which you can get your hands on and read this book. It fills a void. More so, it introduces the thinking and worldviews of the most consequential and persuasive…

Kingpin Economic Justice

Hard to believe it has been 25 years since the Farrelly Brothers’ comedy Kingpin graced the screen. In a fit of nostalgia for some 90s laughs, I watched it last week. Most of it was still funny. As expected, everything that Bill Murray did and said within that movie as antagonist extraordinaire, “Big Ern” McCraken, is…

Anatomy of a Disagreement

Why I am an anarcho-capitalist is summarized in this fantastic episode of the Human Action Podcast, hosted by the ineffable Jeff Deist with the great Ryan McMaken. To read Murray Rothbard’s Anatomy of the State is to open up a worldview that I can only equate to going on a hot air balloon ride and…

FreedomFest Bound

It’s official: I’ll be speaking at the great Mark Skousen’s FreedomFest in South Dakota in July. I’m scheduled to debate the great libertarian Doug Casey on the subject of liberty and Catholicism. Will be standing room only… I’ll also be serving on a panel about Bitcoin. Catholicism and cryptocurrency go well together. Finally, I’m honored…

Storming the Vatican

Pope Francis is a reprobate and a heretic. He should have been deposed long ago. The Catholic faithful and people of good faith throughout the world really deserve someone who actually has an original thought in his head. We deserve a pope who views Sacred Scripture and Sacred Doctrine not as confining obstacles but rather…

St. Joseph: Father, Worker, Rebel

He was a skilled carpenter. He wed a woman who was pregnant and not with his child. He travelled with his wife to Bethlehem, and there he witnessed awake what he had only experienced in dreams. He quieted his mind and heart so as to always listen to God and his messengers. He fled to…
