For the NCAA outdoor volleyball at Wrigley Field why did they not anticipate that DEW FORMS ON SURFACES after dark and have radiative heat lamps pointed at the court to warm the Taraflex surface above the dew point of the humid Chicago air? Very dangerous for top players to be sliding around on that floor. As soon as you wipe up the dew, it re-forms unless the surface is warmed up. #HeatLamps needed cornhuskerswire.usatoday.com…
Affordability is a serious challenge yet why don't we consider the value of preventing Iran ("death to America") from having nuclear weapons compared to the cost of defeating hitler and nazi Germany decades ago. To put things in perspective, here's the cost of gasoline today compared to four years ago when Biden promised to end fossil fuels.

With the primary victory of Abdul in Michigan, is it time for someone to add a fourth row at the bottom of this graphic to show @DemSocialists pulling the left toward purer socialism? I miss the days of JFK. @BillMaher @SenFettermanPA
The "Invisible Hand" shouldn't be ignored just because we can't see it. Its benefits are greatly misunderstood by the DSA. Read this.
One of the most dangerous ideas in politics is that good intentions create prosperous societies.
Bernard Mandeville, in one of the most scandalous and important books in intellectual history, argued almost exactly the opposite.
In his 1714 book The Fable of the Bees: or, Private Vices, Public Benefits, Bernard Mandeville told the story of a prosperous beehive where every bee was driven by vanity, greed, luxury and self-interest. The hive flourished with industry, trade, innovation and wealth precisely because of these private vices. Then, one day, the bees suddenly became virtuous and frugal. Demand collapsed, workers lost their jobs, and the once-thriving society descended into poverty and stagnation.
Mandeville’s provocative thesis was that what was often thought of as private vices often produce public benefits. Self-interested behaviour - when channelled through markets - creates far more prosperity and social cooperation than deliberate attempts at collective virtue or moral perfection.
This insight was revolutionary. It showed that the pursuit of personal gain does not lead to chaos, but to order and abundance. People working to satisfy their own desires end up producing goods and services that benefit others. Greed for profit drives innovation. Vanity fuels demand for quality and beauty. Self-interest, not altruism, powers the division of labour and economic progress.
Adam Smith would later refine this idea into the famous “invisible hand”. But Mandeville stated the uncomfortable truth more boldly: a society that tries to suppress self-interest in the name of virtue usually ends up poorer and less civilised.
The Fable of the Bees is a powerful defence of commercial society which reminds us that what left-wing moralists condemn as vice is frequently the engine of human flourishing.

Wow great rendition! This is what I really like to see. I don't expect a foreigner(Beckham) to follow along but to see Tom Cruise and all of the team place their hands over their hearts and mouth along. Hell Yeah!!! Fantastic!
Epic Viking invasion Saturday (except in Miami). Go Norge!
Heads up: @FairNotKind will engage in discussion (in this case regarding trans athletes and Riley Gaines), then when losing the debate, spam you and then delete the evidence of her loss. 45,000 posts she has. Don't waste your time… normanjansen.substack.com/p/…
While @ScottPelley was just a mouthpiece, he embellished every word of deceit and endorsed every word hidden. The good news is he's gone and @bariweiss continues to clean up @CBSNews to return it to the Walter Cronkite days of objectivity.
“Tiffany Justice read from explicit books.”
Yes, I did. Watch my lips when I’m reading and you can see me say dildo and vagina.
I stopped at one point and asked @ScottPelley if he wanted me to continue. He said yes, if I wanted to.
So I did.
Incest, rape, pedophilia- multiple excerpts, multiple books, and @CBS cut all of it.
We showed evidence of passages of explicit sexual content found in elementary to secondary public school libraries and @CBS hid all of it.
Please consider showing the whole interview @bariweiss.

What makes the trans-athletes-invading-girls-sports issue seem intractable is the imprecise words we use conflating gender with sex. The solution right in front of us falls on deaf ears since we're so accustomed to using woman (gender) as a synonym for adult female (sex). Yet there are important distinctions as this short article explains. Simply use sex (female or male) instead of gender (woman, man, trans, cis, etc), as the International Olympic Committee is wisely doing for the LA Olympics. Use precise words and the problem is no longer intractable. Here's how- normanjansen.substack.com/p/… @TheFive @HaroldFordJr @DanaPerino @GregGutfeld @JesseBWatters @JessicaTarlov @FoxAndFriends
