George Orwell
HANKE'S BELIEVE IT OR NOT: The University of North Carolina has implemented an 'inclusive' language guide that bans students/staff from using words such as "man" or "freshman". Welcome to George Orwell’s 1984, where "Newspeak" is mandated. https://t.co/WBWmPbXxIQ

How to Prevent the Next Pandemic
Bill Gates
Bill Gates is playing public health prophet, again. His book, "How to Prevent the Next Pandemic," is a blueprint for preventing another COVID disaster. Curiously, Gates fails to condemn China, a nation withholding COVID data. Well, maybe not so curious. https://t.co/EejsRH4U3d

Universal Time
Karen Lynn Allen

We can ditch this artificial "jet lag" by switching to Universal Time. https://www.nationalreview.com/2021/03/its-time-to-dump-daylight-saving/#slide-1

Ben S. Bernanke
Newly-minted Nobelist Ben Bernanke, in his book "21st Century Monetary Policy" (2022), totally disregards monetary aggregates and their effect on inflation. This is akin to a physicist ignoring the existence of the laws of gravity. https://t.co/65li5ix6Qk
