The scariest Harry Potter character (and it’s not Voldemort)
Voldemort is the monster under the bed, but there is another character who is infinitely more frightening and destructive.

The new world order has Karl Marx rolling in his grave
Karl Marx heralded a new world order made up of a brotherhood of man. He would be shocked and dismayed to see which brotherhood sits atop this new world. I spent time on the phone today with a British friend who voted for Brexit and who is heartbroken and angry

Child Protective Services: the grotesque tyrannies of petty bureaucrats
The little tyrants at Child Protective Services suggest that, when full-blown tyranny comes to the West, it will be death by bureaucracy, not gas chambers. Please pardon my silence today. I spent several hours helping a friend edit a petition challenging the Child Protective Services agency active in his community.

Evil losers, entrenched bureaucrats, angry cities, and transgender’s uses
Evil losers, bureaucrats facing job insecurity, the anger that drives some cities, and why the Left loves transgenderism — my friends and I cover it all. The advantage of living in a blue bastion is that your conservative friends are burnished in a type of crucible. It takes an affirmative

If you can read only one thing today, read VDH on firing bureaucrats
VDH comments on the most scandalous thing of all about Comey’s firing: namely, the fact that firing bureaucrats for malfeasance stopped for eight years. Victor Davis Hanson has a habit of writing brilliant posts. When something is a standout even by the high standards VDH has set for himself, you

When I said “interesting times,” I meant it. We all knew that our government had gotten too big and we voted for

Bureaucrats seeking job security can be incredibly dangerous *UPDATED*
There are few things more dangerous than a collection of bureaucrats willing to stop at nothing to keep the bureaucracy alive for their own benefit. We’ve seen that here in America. Obama’s bureaucrats, knowing that the good times roll better for bureaucrats under Democratic presidents than under Republican ones, have

I winnowed down half of my emails yesterday, but still have more than 200 to go. Some of them, I’m embarrassed to admit, date back to early-ish December. Those that I’m linking to here are still relevant, though, so don’t be deterred by my delay in posting them. Also, heads

In the movie Wall-E, the little robot had a task, and it did the task, long after the task’s necessity had passed. Like a funded bureaucrat, Wall-E just kept going and going and going. In California, the Department of Transportation was given a mandate and a task, and now, long
