Feminists claim to fight oppression of women. But author @TimothySandefur points out: “Feminists condemn American society while keeping their mouths shut about what goes on in countries like Iraq and Iran.” In our full interview, we talk about that and more.

I once reported on how great Wikipedia was. Now, it’s FULL of propaganda. That’s a big problem because its bad information corrupts AI and search results: @npovmedia @AshleyRindsberg

Social Security and Medicare are like a ticking time bomb! Yet most politicians promise not to touch these “entitlements.” Those politicians are either lying or ignorant. Unless we raise retirement age, cut benefits, or privatize, the explosion is coming.

“The average male, there's a greater chance that he's going to be a risk-taker and seeker of knowledge.” says @HMDatMI. I’m glad she says what most are scared to say: men and women are different. Here are the consequences:

Who owns you? I like to think I own myself, but politicians increasingly act like THEY own US. @TimothySandefur says: "They certainly think that they own us..." In our extended interview, he explains why that violates our fundamental right to pursue happiness.

"There's nothing more important than democracy!" say politicians. Not true, says @TimothySandefur of @GoldwaterInst. "There's nothing more important than liberty. The Constitution exists to protect us against democracy." In our full interview we talk about that, and more.

In "The Princess Bride," Inigo Montoya says: "You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means." He might've said this about Trump's (mis)use of socialism! Here's why: Trump's having government take stakes in companies IS socialist, and bad:

I'm told I should encrypt my phone and avoid Google to protect my privacy. But I don’t want to! I like it that google knows what I’m interested in, and shows me things like “restaurants near me." Here, Edward @Snowden tries to convince me to care:

Climate activists want to take steak off your plate. They say beef causes biodiversity breakdown, high methane emissions, global warming. Stossel TV Fellow @LinneaLueken shows why much of this fearmongering is nonsense.

Trump signed Executive Order to pay TSA employees. But why is security government run? At SF and 20 other airports it's not. Security is better and lines shorter! Years ago I reported how gov't workers do a worse job than private screeners, but spent 10x as much! youtu.be/_-41ZncDo84
