Opening Up America

The choice before us seems to be no choice at all: stay inside and have no human contact with another soul, keep businesses closed, denying a livelihood to millions, or step outside and risk death. Though I believe the risk is small when comparing the number of people who have been diagnosed with COVID-19 and have recovered with the number who have died, fear may be the greater threat.

WashPost Owner Jeff Bezos Reportedly Could Become ‘First Trillionaire’

A big irony is in development. The liberal billionaire owner of The Washington Post, which had decried that President Donald Trump’s 2017 tax law was showering “billions of dollars worth of tax relief on upper-income people and businesses,” reportedly could become the first trillionaire. Jeff Bezos, currently the world’s richest man, “will be even richer in a few years — the first trillionaire —…

Nary a day goes by that Morning Joe does not aver some variation on the notion that President Trump is not "well." But perhaps the time has come for Scarborough to take a hard look in the mirror. The corrosive effects of his unrelenting hatred of the president seem to be taking a toll on Scarborough's psyche.

The Radical Views Behind Facebook’s New Oversight Board

Facebook’s new Oversight Board has been criticized as too liberal and too international to decide on American content. The current structure of the board ensures that. Fifteen of the 20 board members are from outside the United States. Facebook has committed to having only one member from the U.S. on five-person panels ruling on American content restrictions.
