  • The Dunning–Kruger Problem in Modern Governance

    Overconfidence despite clear incompetence was evident in both Obama and Mamdani. There is a cognitive bias called the Dunning–Kruger effect, which -- in my opinion -- would be better called the Obama-Mamdani effect today. Dunning-Kruger describes a delusional mindset where “People with low knowledge or skill in an area tend to overestimate how competent they are.” In biblical terms, this kind of hubris is defined by Paul in Romans 12:3 as one “...think[ing] more highly of oneself than one ought.” That Scripture verse captures the essence of two popular, similar politicians who, despite having little knowledge or skill, have convinced...
  • "Show me the Law" (To File for Income Tax)

    @DineshDSouza He hasn’t paid income tax in over 30 years and claims he hasn’t gone to jail because Americans are not legally required to file….. @PeterSchiff My father also said, “Show me the law.” He coined the term “confession” to describe the 1040. Though the government never showed him any law that required him to pay income taxes or file an income tax confession, corrupt judges orchestrated convictions to protect the government.

    Heart-pounding audio captured the frantic moments before Sunday’s fatal collision involving an Air Canada passenger plane and a firefighting truck at LaGuardia Airport — with one air traffic controller admitting after they “messed up.” Air traffic controllers urged an incoming plane to go around as the crash unfolded on the ground, killing the jet’s pilot and co-pilot, according to LiveATC audio. The truck was cleared to cross the airport’s Runway 4 before air traffic controllers urged a Frontier plane bound for Miami and the vehicle to stop. “Stop, stop, stop, stop,” the controller frantically demanded. “Truck 1, stop, stop, stop....

    The news just keeps getting more disgusting from the Sandalista Spring Break crowd, descending on Cuba to show 'solidarity' as President Trump halts its "free" oil from Venezuela, and creating a boatload of misery for Cuba's socialism-impoverished locals. It wasn't just gawking at people's poverty from state safari-style tour buses while singing 'Guantamanera' at them, which I wrote about here. Alberto de la Cruz @albertodelacruz "This is how the foreign communists visiting Cuba get around...like they're on a safari through a theme park. Then they ask us to resist in the name of their criminal ideology. They're all immoral." It...

    President Trump announced Monday that the US will not attack any part of Iran’s power and energy infrastructure for five days after Washington and Tehran had engaged in “very good and productive talks” over the weekend about ending the three-week-old war. “I am please [sic] to report that the United States of America, and the country of Iran, have had, over the last two days, very good and productive conversations regarding a complete and total resolution of our hostilities in the Middle East,” Trump wrote, without elaborating. “Based on the tenor and tone of these in-depth, detailed and constructive conversations,...

    Some analysts say the economic effects of Operation Epic Fury in Iran could persist for years, even after the strikes end. Oil prices have climbed since Operation Epic Fury began, with WTI crude futures closing at $98.32 on Friday, up more than $30 from $67.02 on Feb. 27 — the day before the conflict with Iran began — according to Investing.com. “Productive capacity will be offline for an uncomfortably long time, meaning energy prices are likely to fall much slower than they rose,” Kyle Rodda, a senior analyst for the online trading platform Capital.com, told Axios, referring to an Israeli...

    Kremlin Press Secretary Dmitry Peskov confirmed on Monday that Moscow is "sending signals" to Washington about the danger of targeting the joint Russia-Iran Bushehr nuclear power plant. "Of course, corresponding signals are being transmitted to the American side," he told the reporters, noting that the US strikes pose "a very serious security threat" to the plant. Furthermore, he urged a diplomatic resolution to the conflict, claiming that the war should have ended "yesterday." Peskov confirmed that Russia is in constant dialogue with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) regarding the Bushehr nuclear plant.

    The dollar was poised for a rebound on Monday as retaliatory threats escalated in the Middle East crisis, damping risk sentiment and boosting demand for haven assets. The greenback on Friday closed out its first weekly decline since the start of the war in Iran, as the effect of surging oil prices on inflation prompted central banks to turn hawkish. The Australian dollar slid in early trade as equity markets looked to open lower. Hopes for an off-ramp to hostilities in ‌the Gulf region dimmed ⁠over ⁠the weekend, with U.S. President Donald Trump threatening to strike Iran's electricity grid and...

    House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-NY, rebuked President Donald Trump on Sunday and said he should keep his "reckless mouth shut" after the president called Democrats the "greatest enemy" in America. "Now with the death of Iran, the greatest enemy America has is the Radical Left, Highly Incompetent, Democratic Party! Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DJT," the president wrote on Truth Social. CNN's Dana Bash asked Jeffries to react to the statement during Sunday's "State of the Union." "Donald Trump should keep his reckless mouth shut before he gets somebody killed," Jeffries said. Jeffries also spoke...

During a Pentagon briefing, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen.

    Cuba’s communist dictatorship may be living on borrowed time as the island’s power grid crumbles — but the Democratic Socialists of America is making “solidarity” with the regime its issue of the moment. On Friday, the DSA sent 20 of its members there as part of the lefty “Nuestra América Convoy,” aiming to “show the world that Cuba is under siege, but they are not alone.” They relaxed in luxury Havana hotels and rode in air-conditioned buses to meetings with Communist Party officials. A wrecked economy and a grim 67-year history of repression that’s made more than a million Cubans...

    A new statue of Christopher Columbus went up on the White House grounds Sunday that was built using pieces from a monument to the Italian explorer that protesters destroyed six years ago. The 13-foot, one-ton replica of a Columbus statue toppled in Baltimore in 2020 – then dumped into the city’s inner harbor – was commissioned by the Conference of Presidents of Major Italian American Organizations and is part of the White House’s celebration of America’s 250th anniversary. The statue has been placed outside the Eisenhower Executive Office Building. Artists retrieved shards of marble belonging to the wrecked statue from...

    A millionaire Silicon Valley titan has launched a bid for Nancy Pelosi’s congressional seat — with the backing of a famous drag queen. Saikat Chakrabarti, 40, shared video of “Peaches Christ” endorsing him on social media on Friday after he announced his intention to run. In the footage, she says: “San Francisco has a rare opportunity right now. This congressional race will decide whether we keep accepting business as usual or whether we send someone to Washington willing to actually challenge the systems that created the crises we’re living through.” They laughed and smiled their way through the event, where...
