After Paris: There Is No Existential Crisis

by Joey Clark
President Trump’s decision to withdraw the United States from the Paris Climate Accord has thrown the world into a blazing furnace full of weeping and gnashing of teeth—or the political world, at least, has been thrown into a fiery tizzy. It's all ridiculous. 

I’M WILLING TO BET THE EXISTENCE OF THE HUMAN RACE THAT WE WILL STILL RISE TO MEET THE CHALLENGE OF CLIMATE CHANGE SUCCESSFULLY

This State Is on the Brink of Fiscal Meltdown

by Daniel J. Mitchell
Taxes and spending already are too high, and huge unfunded liabilities point to an even darker future. If there is to be any hope for the future of this state, the Governor needs to hold firm.

CLEARLY, THEIR HIGH-TAX APPROACH IS FAILING

Progressives Wage War on a Company that Helps Immigrants

by Bruce Majors
Undocumented workers who find themselves in jail have very few alternatives for being bonded out. One company, Nexus, provides them with this desperately needed service when no one else can or will. What's wrong with that?

THIS COMPANY PROVIDES A VALUABLE SERVICE TO PEOPLE IN NEED

House of Cards, It Turns Out, Is Dull And Depressing

by Brittany Hunter
As I began getting further and further into the season, I found myself not only bored with the content, but also beginning to doubt the wondrous invention of Netflix. And after making it about seven episodes in, I have determined that I can no longer continue my efforts of live blogging each new episode.  

AFTER MAKING IT THROUGH SEVEN EPISODES, I AM FINALLY CALLING IT QUITS ONHOUSE OF CARDS SEASON 5

Amazon Just Invented the Bookstore

by M.G. Siegler
Amazon has opened seven physical bookstores across the United States, with another half dozen in the works. When I found out one had just opened up near where I was staying in New York City, of course I had to check it out.

IT WAS WEIRD. NOT IN A BAD WAY. IT WAS JUST, WEIRDLY FAMILIAR

Yes, I'm a Feminist. Yes, I Enjoyed Wonder Woman.

by Eileen L. Wittig
I’ll be honest: I went to see Wonder Woman with zero expectations. I did, however, hope that this first modern woman-centric superhero movie wasn’t going to mess it up. It didn't.

I WASN'T AT THE MOVIE TO CRITIQUE HER LOOK, I WAS THERE TO
CRITIQUE HER CHARACTER

California Considers Economic Suicide with Single-Payer Health Care

by Daniel J. Mitchell
Politicians in California, unfazed by the disaster of Obamacare, want to create a “single-payer” healthcare scheme for the Golden State. In one fell swoop, California politicians would more than double the fiscal burden of government and cue a mass exodus out of the state.

THAT'S WHY EVEN COLORADO AND VERMONT REJECTED IT

School Kids Fidget Because They Feel Trapped

by Kerry McDonald
Rather than complaining about fidget toys and banning them from schools, we should look more closely at what the toys reveal. Children and adolescents are bored and they're frustrated by the irrelevance of mass schooling. Fidget toy mania is a reaction to their craving for freedom and autonomy.

FIDGETING IS ONE OF THE FEW CHOICES THEY CAN MAKE DURING
THE SCHOOL DAY. SAD.

Is Wonder Woman War Propaganda?

by Dan Sanchez
Wonder Woman, who throughout the film racks up quite a body count of conscripted German youths, is not so much a princess of peace as she is a valkyrie for “humanitarian” war: a Samantha Power with super-powers and a magic sword.

IS DIANA REALLY A PRINCESS OF PEACE?

Marxists Are Not on the "Right Side of History"

by Richard M. Ebeling
Some leftists try to smugly dismiss their opponents as being "on the wrong side of history." This whole way of thinking is rooted in Marxist fallacy.

THIS SMUG PHRASE HAS A BACKGROUND IN MARXIST FALLACY

Is There Hope for Freedom in Latin America?

by Andrés Cusme Franco and Lawrence W. Reed
Freedom in Latin America has been endlessly threatened throughout history. In many ways, people who have come to power, have felt the omnipotence above the individual to decide and govern on behalf of "the people": that intangible being but omnipresent in all the speeches of a populist. Here, FEE President Lawrence W. Reed discusses his take on the socialists that have taken over many parts of the continent.
