@notjessewalker Your review doesn’t quite convey just how bonkers Death Wish 3 is, but it’s not your fault, for words cannot do so.

I gathered a bunch of movie reviews & micro-reviews that I wrote for other places—blog posts, articles, etc.—and added them to my Letterboxd page, some of them lightly edited and some not. Everything from DEATH WISH 3 to THE EAST IS RED. letterboxd.com/notjessewalker…

heroic they put this online for free. OTOH why would any clearly written book need a guide?

Even from the face of what Hoppe posted, it’s clear that your claim is not true. Hoppe personally attacked the current leadership and staff of the Mises Institute based on allegations that have nothing to do with Milei or Israel. The Milei thing was an extra dig, and a frivolous one at that, as it was based on a passing remark (about Milei generally, not foreign policy or Israel) in a lecture by a leading Austrian economist.
English
The Mises Institute is not a serious organization whatsoever anymore. They removed the best living libertarian because he completely correctly opposes a Zionist war mongering scumbag, Javier Milei. Mises is a regime think tank at this point, no different from Cato and Reason. Never give them your money again.

@AmySwearer From the outset, critics have charged that Illinois's FOID card requirement was enacted, like many gun laws before it, to disarm/arrest blacks.
Regardless of motive, it's a flagrant violation of both the Second Amendment and the Due Process Clause.

Today's example of gun control being wielded in dystopian ways against ordinary citizens is co-sponsored by Chicago PD and the Cook County D.A.'s Office.
Chicago keeps arresting and prosecuting gun owners over the government's own bureaucratic mistakes.

The new Pixar movie Hoppers was not propaganda from the left so much as it’s propaganda directed at the left—far left protester types need to calm down and work with the establishment, specifically Gavin Newsom, to work for incremental change.

It makes it more difficult to reimpose them, and importantly it makes it more difficult (if not impossible) to change them from day to day with no notice. And there is value in more precedent prohibiting the executive branch from making policy in the absence of clear authorization by Congress.
It is part of the Court's overall reining of the executive branch, which is a very good thing if you think the constitutional separation of powers is an important safeguard for liberty.

Everyone is reacting to the SCOTUS ruling against Trumps tariffs, but it won’t impact anything
Brett Kavanaugh pointed out it’s just a procedural ruling. The tariffs will continue under a different statute
“In essence, the Court today concludes that the President checked the wrong statutory box by relying on IEEPA rather than another statute to impose these”
While it’s fun to run victory laps or panic while you get the chance, reality still matters
It’s important to pay attention to reality cause the narratives will all have to bend that way eventually
The reality of the situation is that this will creates some logistical headaches and busy work but it will not significantly impact tariffs
It’s a masturbatory ruling triggering a wave of similar reactions
A symbol of what politics has become or always was

If POTUS attacks Iran without even getting a sign off from Congress (which isn't really enough to be "constitutional" to begin with) he should be impeached and Congress should cut off funds for the conflict.
Otherwise Congress really has no reason to exist. They become a prop.

A reminder that Heller, the case which revived the modern view of the 2nd Amendment, was specifically about striking down a ban on possessing handguns in Washington, DC.

Pirro: "You bring a gun into the District, you mark my words, you're going to jail. I don't care if you have a license in another district and I don't care if you're a law abiding law owner somewhere else. You bring a gun into this District, count on going to jail and hope you get the gun back. And that makes all the difference."

NCLA Senior Litigation Counsel @jacobhuebert joined Nina Totenberg on NPR's Morning Edition to discuss the Trump v. Cook case.
The president "has to be able to remove people who he doesn't want to work with. Otherwise he's being forced to share executive power with someone he doesn't want to share it with."

Donald Trump is wrong about monetary policy.
Jerome Powell is wrong about Fed independence.

It stops when you become a lawyer. Then your recurring nightmare is about showing up to court late and unprepared and realizing that you don’t even know what the case is about.
Sandy Petersen 🪔@SandyofCthulhu
I am 70 years old. I still get nightmares about showing up late for class or not being able to find my classroom or not being prepared for my class presentation. When does this stop?

The U.S. had no Fed—nor any “independent” central bank—for its first 137 years.
It was not Zimbabwe.
So we don’t have to choose between becoming Zimbabwe and pretending that the Constitution authorizes an unaccountable “independent” fourth branch of government for money.
Danielle DiMartino Booth@DiMartinoBooth
I love my country. If you do as well, you support Fed independence. The alternative is Zimbabwe hyperinflation.

They’re building a police state right before our eyes—which will ultimately be deployed against conservative Christians and gun owners and those who refuse the jab—and a lot of “Republicans” with Gadsden flags in their bios are like, “Yeah, FAFO!”
Secretary Kristi Noem@EnvoyNoem
Drones represent the new frontier of American air superiority. Under President Trump, we are entering a new era to defend our air superiority to protect our borders and the interior of the United States. With the creation of the DHS Program Executive Office for Unmanned Aircraft Systems and Counter-Unmanned Aircraft Systems, President Trump continues his historic legacy in developing American dominance. This will help us continue to secure the border and cripple the cartels, protect our infrastructure, and keep Americans safe as they attend festivities and events during a historic year of America’s 250th birthday and FIFA 2026.

PSA for @JDVance:
The executive branch can’t sidestep Congress’s role in matters of war and occupation by obtaining indictments. You don’t get to avoid the Constitution of the United States because you brought charges.
JD Vance@JDVance
And PSA for everyone saying this was "illegal": Maduro has multiple indictments in the United States for narcoterrorism. You don't get to avoid justice for drug trafficking in the United States because you live in a palace in Caracas.
