I think one of the funniest movies of the 1980s was Brewster’s Millions. In the movie, Richard Pryor plays Monty Brewster, a minor league baseball player who finds out that he is in line to inherit a vast $300 million fortune. In order to inherit the money, though, Brewster must spend $30 million over the next 30 days… and if he fails to do so, he forfeits t […]

In the early 1980s, doctors and medical researchers around the world were confounded by the growing number of young, otherwise healthy patients who were dying of rare infections that typically only occurred in people with very weak immune systems. The situation was so alarming that the CDC in the United States set up a special task force in 1982 to study the […]

Are you ready for this week’s absurdity? Here’s our Friday roll-up of the most ridiculous stories from around the world that are threats to your liberty, your finances, and your prosperity… and on occasion, poetic justice.

By the mid 1300s, the Republic of Florence in modern day Italy had experienced one of the greatest economic booms in human history. In less than a century, Florence had grown from a tiny, irrelevant backwater to become one of Europe’s largest cities and preeminent financial center. The expansion was truly impressive. Florence’s population had grown 10x. It h […]

First thing’s first– I screwed up. Yesterday I wrote to you about the US government’s initiative to loan money to small businesses, and I was wrong about an important detail. I said the maximum amount of the loan was equal to 2.5x a company’s annual payroll expense. That’s incorrect. The correct maximum loan amount is 2.5x a company’s average MONTHLY payroll […]

[Editor’s note: this article was corrected on 30 March 2020; the proper way to calculate your loan is based on your average monthly (not annual) payroll multiplied by 2.5] As you’ve probably already heard, the US government unleashed a giant tsunami of money on Friday, passing a $2 trillion stimulus bill to help boost the economy during the Covid pandemic. L […]

There are some indications Trump is already planning on doing so. Good. Michael Z. Williamson gives a good glimpse of just how much of our economy we may have just killed. Which is why he points out that we need to open up as much of our economy as possible and go for the herd […]

Welcome to the inexact science of counting. Previously, confirmed Wuhan Coronavirus deaths were only coming from people who had been properly diagnosed. Was there an outbreak in Washington earlier this year in January? We simply don’t know. Now the CDC is directing any death that seems like it may have been related to get included […]

Here’s the data from New York, Israel, New Jersey. It increasingly argues that it’s the at-risk population we should isolate, not everyone.

Or some of both? Or did we already have some herd immunity? We’ve only used 1/4 of the beds that were projected by the worst case models, and a lot of other places are down as well. In fact, we’re down globally. In a little more than a week, the model being used for all […]

The Washington Post suggests the number is around 40,000.

It’s pretty clear by now that many of the federal employee doctors with 100% job security in Washington, DC are quacks. All of the scientific models that predicted mass hospitalizations and a catastrophic failure of America’s health care system were wrong. Therefore, any advice from the quacks following those models to destroy the economy should […] The post […]

Democrats who called President Trump a xenophobic racist Hitler clone in January for shutting down non-essential travel from China are suddenly demanding that their governors ban all interstate travel in the US.

China reported no new deaths from the novel Wuhan coronavirus on Tuesday. That's big news if it's true, but it's not.

News outlets who are now complain about not enough press briefings under Grisham also routinely criticize President Donald Trump for his constant coronavirus task force briefings.

As coronavirus cases slow, New York City is getting its groove back slowly but surely. It will be soon.

Part of service is sacrifice. If you are unwilling to make sacrifices, including utilitarian ones, then you are unfit to serve, and certainly unfit to lead. Simple as that.

Just think of that: We can save nearly 2 million lives every year with these personal and collective sacrifices. In addition, we can prevent an estimated 100 million sicknesses and injuries!

At every turn, China’s communist government has lied, censored, and tried to cover up the truth about the coronavirus, making cooperation impossible.

Citizens must be wary of the attempt to redirect legitimate concern about coronavirus into a mandate for sweeping new government powers.

If we can learn anything from Wisconsin about coronavirus and election panics, maybe it's that it's time to start thinking about November. 

This week especially, I feel each additional incarnated religious tradition destroyed by 'social distancing' edicts as a fresh wound. It is a true and deep loss to be forced from our churches during Holy Week.

Rather than punishing China for its grotesque and barbaric actions, the UN instead rewarded the tyrannical regime with more power and influence in momentous decision-making that will affect the world.
