BMS ep. 90: Trump’s Ukraine Call Was Small Potatoes

I make the case…

Ironic Argument From Jonah Goldberg

I guess Jonah is at least consistent when it comes to impeachment. He is deploying the standard right-winger defense of the judicial system: “If the cops arrest you, you must have done something.” In any event, I agree that it’s in poor taste for Republicans to bring up the trial of Jesus when talking about […]

Trump’s “Very Fine People” Redux

For some reason, this is a hot topic again. (It partly has to do with Scott Adams on Twitter. I think it’s because somebody tried to edit the Wikipedia article to merely add actual quotations from Trump–and then had them taken down within minutes–and he passed along the story to Scott Adams.

Bob Murphy on Stefan Molyneux’s Podcast

His policies, other things equal, will make Americans poorer, and he conveys a very confused understanding of the topic. Having gotten […]

Raimondo on Korea

Now admittedly there is an element of “I told you so!” to this essay, but Justin Raimondo’s analysis on North Korea is also very optimistic. Remember, the Chinese leadership realized hardcore communism wasn’t working, and began serious liberalization. It’s not ludicrous to think Kim wants the same, if he can figure out how to achieve […]

Were Grateful

Michael Malice has moved his podcast “YOUR [sic] WELCOME” to the Gas Digital Network, and Episode #3 is what podcasts were designed for: It takes the libertarian (for purists, anarcho-capitalist) expert on North Korea (Malice) and puts him into a conversation with the comic strip expert on Donald Trump (Scott Adams). I am being dead […]
