If There's A Good And Loving God, Why Did He Make Me So Annoying? - Op-Ed By Atheist

Okay, Christians, if your god is "so loving," then why would he create someone as annoying as me? I bet you can't answer that question.

 > There is a clear evolutionary reason for my existence, as annoying people with superior intellects like me are useful for keeping the human race on the path toward greater human evolution as we leave the superstitions of the past behind us. But is there any reason God would make a pretentious little dweeb like me? Of course not.

Delayed for technical difficulties, but we still got it out in time for our OKC vs Denver game 7 preview to be relevant. Our lack of understanding about European Football is on full display as we try to understand the upcoming World Group Cup League (or whatever it's called) that folks are so excited about.

Congress Should Abolish the Fed for Failing to Achieve Its Mandates https://mises.org/mises-wire/congress-should-abolish-fed-failing-achieve-its-mandates By Jon Wolfenbarger > Following World War II, Congress imposed mandates on the Federal Reserve in the areas of employment, inflation, and interest rates. Not surprisingly, the Fed has failed in all three areas. It is time to recognize failure and abolish the Fed altogether.

Trump Vindicates Horton's Law | The Libertarian Institute

Thomas Eddlem compares Trump's first term to his second administration, finding his recent record sharply at odds with previous promises. “Trump has taken his current presidency to the next level, once again proving that Horton’s Law, i.e., that presidents only keep their bad promises, remains valid. Every president disappoints, but who would have figured Trump would have locked up the title so quickly?” originally posted at

A Masterclass in Sanitized Cruelty | The Libertarian Institute

John Mac Ghlionn takes on a recent article by Michael Ames published at The Free Press, which accuses journalists and aid agencies of “rhetorical manipulation” in discussing the conflict in Gaza, and claims to debunk the notion that the territory is facing a famine. “What is happening in Gaza right now is not ambiguous. It is not speculative. The United Nations has warned repeatedly of impending famine. UNICEF has documented the collapse of clean water and sanitation. USAID’s own chief, Samantha Power – no stranger to statecraft or calculated language – acknowledged that Gaza was 'credibly' in famine. And that was over a year ago. But rather than confront reality, Ames performs semantic gymnastics, accusing others of exaggeration while cherry-picking anecdotes to build his case.” originally posted at
