Conservative: Nobel-Winning Hack Attack
In an echo of the 51 intel โexpertsโ who stomped on The Postโs laptop scoops in 2020, marvels National Reviewโs Noah Rothman, comes a letter from 16 Nobel-winning economists who โinsist that Donald Trumpโs proposed economic policies risk exacerbating inflationโ and โassured Americans that Joe Bidenโs economic-policy preferences are entirely unimpeachable.โ Huh? โDumping unprecedented sums of taxpayer dollars into the private economy at a time when too much money was already chasing after too few goodsโ wasnโt inflationary? And โthese experts further maintain that inflation shouldnโt even persist as a going concern for most voters.โ The economists โrely on their credentials,โ not any โcogent argumentโ: โThat reckless, self-indulgent impulse is why American institutions across the board are suffering from a credibility crisis.โ
Libertarian: SCOTUS Defies Extremism Tag
The โpanic associated with the current makeup of the Supreme Courtโ has โhas crescendoed more dramatically than the most tortured Tchaikovsky symphony,โ fumes Reasonโs Billy Binion. But for all the claims that the โconservative majority is both extreme and radical,โ the truth is that โthe justices agree a lot of the time.โ I.e., โof the 18 rulings released from December to April this term, 15 of them were unanimous.โ And most of the โinfamous 6-3 splitsโ this term โhave not fallen on the standard party-line divide.โ All the โfearmongeringโ even โwhen basic realityโ shows the opposite โreminds us of how manufactured this panic can be.โ
From the left: We Must Re-Embrace Free Speech
โAcademic freedomโ was once embraced โas a core principleโ among progressives, โbut in recent years, we changed tack and encouraged the suppression of conservative voices on our campuses. Now, the same justificationsโ are โbeing used to silence us,โ warns Tascha Shahriari-Parsa at The Nation. In October, the Harvard Law Reviewโs editors blocked a piece concluding โthat Israel is committing genocideโ โ partly because of an idea โprogressive students have popularized: that we must protect ourselves, and each other, from harmful speech.โ โProgressive students have broadened the meaning of student โsafetyโ: from the absence of physical violence to the absence of emotional distress.โ But โif we continue silencing speech that offends us,โ there will be โno one left to challenge the status quo of ideas.โ
Spy watch: How James Clapper Rigs Elections
โTwo days before the presidential debate between Trump and Clinton,โ observes RealClearInvestigationsโ Paul Sperry, then-National Intelligence Director James Clapper issued an โunprecedented intelligence advisoryโ with then-President Barack Obamaโs blessing that lent โcredence to what the Clinton camp was telling the media โ that Trump was working with Russian President Vladimir Putin through a secret back channel to steal the election.โ โIn 2020, he was the lead signatory on the โintelligenceโ statement that discredited the New York Postโs October bombshell exposing emails from Hunter Bidenโs laptop.โ โIn effect, the Intelligence Community conspiredโ first with the Clinton and then with the Biden campaign โ and โClapperโs well-timed pseudo-intelligence in 2016 and 2020โ crippled the Trump presidency and โarguably denied him reelection.โ
From the right: Joeโs Student-Loan Bait & Switch
President Biden claimed the Supreme Court hadnโt stopped him last summer when it ruled against his โsweepingโ $400 billion student-loan cancellation, as he quickly rolled out his similar $475 billion SAVE forgiveness plan, recall The Wall Street Journalโs editors. Yet on Monday, federal judges tapped by President Barack Obama blocked most of that plan, too โ with one blasting it as โan enormous and transformative expansion in statutory authority without clear congressional authorization.โ The SAVE plan was yet โanother cynical exercise to buy votes, and Biden officials had to know they were stretching the law. As a result, millions of borrowers who were counting on lower payments and forgiveness are in limbo. Donโt young people get tired of being played as pawns by this President?โ
