Yesterday, two House Democrats sent a letter to a dozen major TV and content providers—including Amazon, AT&T, Comcast & Google—urging them to stop carrying conservative news channels. Make no mistake: Their request is an attack on the First Amendment. dailywire.com/news/fcc-commi…

Defending himself and "colleagues and friends John Edmunds, Jeremy Farrar, Marc Lipsitch, Christian Drosten, Government Office for Science and Professor Chris Whitty", neil_ferguson ignores critique that lockdowns failed to protect the old while causing enormous collateral health damage. lockdownsceptics.org/neil-fergusons…

The fruits of a media disinformation campaign.

ReXUnderTheRadarNews It's not just my own party by the way. Sadly there is plenty of would-be tyranny on both sides. I am sounding the alarm for the Constitution.

It's still really striking that Americans can't access the AstraZeneca vaccine for any price and this is debated almost entirely as a matter of technocratic management rather than as a substantial infringement of liberty. marginalrevolution.com/marginalrevolu…

Race hatred for children.

Colleague just back from Florida. Says it is paradise compared to Britain: everything open, schools operating normally, minimal social distancing, low unemployment, lower death toll than here etc. There was always an alternative to repeated lockdowns.

It took only two years to go from disappearing Milo and Alex Jones to banning content said to "amplify narratives that undermine faith in NATO." Imagine where the line will be two years from now. Censorship is an intoxicating power that endlessly expands until it's smashed.

(2) I keep saying this, because the underlying argument here is so dangerous for freedom: "If you have a 1/20 chance...of causing me a 1/5K risk...given (say) 1/100 odds you HAVE The Thing on Day X...stay inside!!!" This logic could be used to ban literally anything.

Texas 'plans' to have full capacity for 2021 football games. 247sports.com/college/texas/…

Undeniable truth: "No outage would have occurred if, say, just a healthy fraction of the total Texas wind capacity had instead been a combination of properly winterized natural gas turbines and nuclear plants." -- Mark P. Mills thefederalist.com/2021/02/25/to-…

Wow! AAAS publishes warning to scientists not to make apocalyptic prediction as 61% of them have already been proven wrong. “Crying ‘wolf’ in a crowded theatre” is eventually rejected as extremist if no wolf shows up. If you read anything today, read this! eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2…

I'm reflecting a little bit on the last months and schools. Of the things I have written, this is the one that I am most proud of. Even though it made a lot of people hate me. I'm glad Juliet Lapidos pushed me to be brave. theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/…

Glimmers of hope against this mandatory indoctrination. CRT is, in my view, incompatible with a free society.

A #WealthTax would be terrible for the innovation economy & decrease risk-taking, hurting builders. It would require warrantless search & armies of appraisers. The US benefits as a destination for the global elite and their capital: we would lose that. joelonsdale.com/news/wealth-ta…
