That innocent kid she put in prison for life based on no evidence whatsoever?: she's made her entire career bragging about it. Update: She's out. Endorsed Biden of course.

2/28/20 Peter Van Buren on Russiagate II and the Coronavirus Panic
Scott talks to Peter Van Buren about the resurgence of the narrative that Russia is interfering in American elections, this time in the form of apparent support both for Trump's reelection and for Bernie Sanders to get the Democratic nomination. Van Buren notes that fortunately voters don't seem to be buying it this time around—both Trump and Sanders' approval ratings improved in the days following the stories about supposed Russian interference. But he warns that we should always be wary of deep state interference in electoral politics, since they do have tremendous power to disrupt things...
2/27/20 Bob Murphy on the Coming Financial Crisis
Scott has Bob Murphy on the show to explain the Austrian School's view of the boom and bust cycle in the American economy. Murphy explains why the Keynesians are wrong to assert that booms and busts are simply an inherent feature of capitalism. In fact, it is intervention in the free market by central banks—in particular the fact that they control the interest rate, which should be the free-floating price of borrowing money—that contribute to years of misallocation of resources. Eventually, there are too many investments that never should have been financed, with not enough real savings to...
Terrible Person Enrolls Child in Government School
But then she's surprised that they would abuse her tiny, helpless 6-year-old daughter. What did you think, lady, that they loved you and were here to serve you? Why don't you try to overcome your own government education for a minute and think about this for a minute, huh?
Atlantic Council Loves Ukrainian Nazis
The Azov Battalion? They might love Hitler a little bit, but really are a bunch of heroes now, don't you know?: In their recent New York Times op-ed, “We once fought jihadists. Now we battle white supremacists,” Democratic Congressman Max Rose and former Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) special agent Ali H. Soufan raise a critical question: to what extent can we consider domestic right-wing terrorism an exclusively domestic phenomenon? As a follow up, they also ask about the role transnational links have in the radicalization process between different far-right groups. One of the...

AOC: Definitely a Government School Graduate
It's so unfair that people have to go to bad government schools! she says. And so she moved to the burbs to get a good education; and so used her political juice to get a friend of the family into a charter school. (Charter schools are not the ideal at all, but at least there's some competition between suppliers.) "My family made a really hard decision," said Ocasio-Cortez. "That's when I got my first taste of a country who allows their kids' destiny to be determined by the zip code they are born in." Sounds like a great case for the free market. But that can't be right! More of the same is...
The Disgusting Amy Klobuchar
She's a guilty accessory to murder. "At the same time she was ramping up sentences, Ms. Klobuchar was also building a tight relationship with law enforcement, which is common for prosecutors. Some civil rights leaders say that skewed her other priorities, and explains why Ms. Klobuchar did not file charges in more than two-dozen police-involved deaths on her watch. She referred those cases to a grand jury instead, angering relatives of some victims who saw it as a way of avoiding responsibility while keeping the process hidden."
