Partial to liberty. With a little theology as a bonus.

Only in a society blessed with the prosperity that free markets create, is there the luxury to indulge dysfunction postliberal beliefs.
Phil Magness@PhilWMagness
Postliberal theorist (and JD Vance's mentor) Gladden Pappin at a 2021 conference in Serbia, urging conservatives to jettison free markets and embrace a nationalist-protectionist economic system modeled after communist China.

"Vengeance is anything but endless. It does come to an end because it ultimately ends us. Anger and rage will be our undoing. It will kill us. If deathbed ministry has taught me anything, it is that people who live in anger come to the end of themselves and find a seething, hollow version of who we thought they were." buff.ly/MQNnZal

It's an honor to have the first story in the @TheFP's new "Journeys" series, documenting the highlight of my summer: taking my two oldest sons on a 35-hour train trip from Seattle to Los Angeles. Highly recommended.

@SenRandPaul @CatoPodcast @CatoInstitute @BIPPS @cobrown Caleb is awesome! I have not been a daily listener, but whenever I do, it is fantastic. He will be missed.

After 18 years & 4,000+ episodes at @CatoInstitute, Caleb Brown signs off his final podcast to join @BIPPS as CEO. I’ve been honored to join him over the years. Congrats, @cobrown—I look forward to working with you to advance liberty in the Commonwealth.

@elonmusk Here’s a small idea for you, Mr. Musk. Every federal expense must be expressed in units of the salary of the average American. For example, if the average salary is $52k, then a $1M expenditure requires 1000 Americans to work full time for the government for a week to fund it.
English
Accurate.
However, progress is roughly at the ~$4B/day savings needed to achieve a $1T deficit reduction in government financial year 2026, which starts in October.
We just need to keep gaining momentum.

A better strategy is to start where you can get a fast win so your credibility and public support is high enough to take on the military. You also want to move fast and “break things” before the bureaucracy can mount a solid defense. If you need to correct later, that’s just common sense. And you want the smartest people to do the work (IQs 140-180), not the government “experts” clocking in at 100-120. Musk rarely, if ever, gets process wrong. It’s his secret sauce. And he’s a fast-fixer if the system wobbles. The rest of us can watch and learn. He’s printing a new DNA for government and business efficiency. The process Musk is showing us will have more long term economic value than the budget savings. I have never felt more American.

@EconTalker It would be interesting to get his reaction on your “Be Like Bill” chapter.

Gotta get this man on EconTalk

@elonmusk @ScottAdamsSays Here’s a suggestion for you. Every proposed government expenditure must be stated not only in dollars, but also in the number of years of median annual US salary required to fund it. This would give a better sense of magnitude. How many Americans must work full time to fund this?
English
All actions of the Department of Government Efficiency will be posted online for maximum transparency.
Anytime the public thinks we are cutting something important or not cutting something wasteful, just let us know!
We will also have a leaderboard for most insanely dumb spending of your tax dollars. This will be both extremely tragic and extremely entertaining 🤣🤣

🧵A little story about voting in Milwaukee. In 1988, I was a senior at Marquette and was voting for first time. Had an old beater, 1979 Concord, and agreed to take 3 buddies with me to vote--one of whom I often tangled with on politics. 1/

@BretBaier @VP Let’s clear up one small thing. Would you ask 60 Minutes to release the full transcript of your interview?
English
I want to hear from you— what would you ask @vp Harris? Send them to me here or on Instagram @bretbaier.

@ByrneHobart @clairlemon I object! To the characterization of this hack as an “academic.”
English
It’s pretty mind-blowing that a prominent American academic is willing to say this publicly. A disturbing shift in the Overton window. (I’m genuinely taken aback—have Reich’s colleagues/employer commented on this stuff?)

@bariweiss Is FP having technical problems? Can’t find TGIF. Website and Substack app seem to have outdated content?

This was the best moment by far.
Worst: her answer on Biden's health.

Harris responds to this: "Same old, tired playbook. Next question, please."

In the age of X, there is no gatekeeper or censor powerful enough to veil what we can see with our own eyes. You can’t hide reality when everything is seeable.

Cato's David Boaz died a week ago. We met in 1978. As I relate in @amspectator, he was a stalwart, principled advocate of limited, constitutional government and strong protection for expansive individual liberties. He was active up until the end. RIP. spectator.org/david-boaz-pra…

@JonathanTurley This whole prosecution has been one six week-long filibuster.

Judge just warned the prosecutors to wrap by 8.

So I've discussed this before but on Shabbat I leave on the TV. It usually works fine but sometimes hulu live crashes and then it goes back to the fire TV homescreen for a bit, until it times out and turns off. Anyone have ideas how to automate it going back to Hulu live?

@mungowitz Enjoyable episode. Prompted me to buy the biography.

Had a great time talking to Bruce Caldwell about transaction costs, and the origins of FA Hayek's views on the price mechanism as a process for generating information about resource scarcity.
