Cards on the table: I have personally witnessed a large number of miracles like this. Blindness, deafness, paralysis, unlearned earthly languages being spoken (in one recent case, a Rwandan language that was being spoken by a white British girl in our prayer meeting, and understood by a native speaker of that language standing a few…
Another Anti-Market Policy by Trump
While I have no objection to applauding Donald Trump’s good policies such as tax reform and deregulation, I also don’t hesitate to criticize his bad policies.
His big missteps are protectionism and fiscal profligacy, but he also does small things that are misguided.
I’ve already written about his energy socialism and his increased handouts to the World Bank.
Today, we’re going to analyze his proposal for price controls on certain prescription drugs.
For some background on the topic, we’ll start with a very sound editorial from the Wall Street Journal. Here are the key passages.
…the U.S. shouldn’t put the world’s most innovative drug market at the mercy of what Greece is willing to pay for a cancer treatment. …a potential rule…would tether what Medicare Part B pays for certain drugs
to a price index of what other developed countries pay. The goal is to bring…

Using heaven to balance the books — Triablogue
I’m going to comment on a couple of posts by atheist blogger Jonathan Pearce: https://www.patheos.com/blogs/tippling/2018/08/21/my-ms-diagnosis-god-and-the-problem-of-evil/ https://www.patheos.com/blogs/tippling/2017/11/03/problem-evil-heaven-compensation-moral-justification/ It might be objected that I’m exploiting his misfortune. However, he chose to publicize his condition and showcase his condition as a personal illustration of the argument from evil. 1,718 more words
Book Review: The Ethics Of The Halakah — Edge Induced Cohesion
The Ethics Of The Halakah, by Jacob Zallel Lauterbach With friends like these, the halakah doesn’t need enemies. Even if I did not find this to be the best of the author’s work, or even that accurate of a book in discussing the corpus of biblical law, I certainly found the rhetoric of this book […]

Book Review: Midrash And Mishnah — Edge Induced Cohesion
Midrash And Mishnah: A Study In The Early History Of The Halakah, by Jacob Z. Lauterbach There are a great many reasons why I looked forward to reading this book and enjoyed it so much. For one, the book was a very short one at 20 pages, making it an easy and quick read that […]

Book Review: Defenders Of The Unborn — Edge Induced Cohesion
Defenders Of The Unborn: The Pro-Life Movement Before Roe v. Wade, by Daniel K. Williams When I read a book like this, my first question is, what is the author trying to prove? It is easy enough to see that pro-abortion rhetoric that the pro-life movement only started after the disaster of Roe v. Wade […]

Keynesian Spending Undermines Economic Expansion — International Liberty
I wrote in 2010 that Keynesian economics is like the Freddy Krueger movies. It refuses to die despite powerful evidence that you don’t help an economy by increasing the burden of government. In 2014, I wrote the theory was based on “fairy dust.” And in 2015, I said Keynesianism was akin to a perpetual motion […]

The Truth Is That John “Songbird” McCain Was A Traitor – Freedom Outpost — Gds44’s Blog
Reblogging for future reference (not necessarily agreement):
John McCain’s treason just didn’t exist back in Vietnam, it continued all through his life until his death. Tim Brown — August 27, 2018 While my heart goes out to the family of Senator John McCain and the fact that a husband, father and such has been lost to them, I cannot but help remind […]
