The level of economic and financial ignorance on display from so many people in the debates over “wealth taxes,” “redistribution” of wealth, and taxes in general boggles my mind.

I see way too many opinions and comments premised on, or stating explicitly, the idea that the wealth of wealthy people is just sitting in vaults or in idle brokerage accounts, not circulating in the economy, and thus not benefiting others in society. From this premise the argument is that such wealth would circulate more in the economy to the benefit of all if it were taken from the “wealthy” people who “hoard” it and redistributed to others who are not “wealthy.”

I am [now] an investor. For several decades I was a salaried employee at large corporations. Thanks to careful expense control and other money management by Mrs. Tabby, we accumulated sufficient “wealth” that most people (including most Americans) would call us “wealthy.”

As an investor, I see on my statements and the dashboard at my broker’s that our money isn’t just sitting idly in a MorganStanley warehouse. Our money (in our case mostly pooled with money from other investors with similar goals as ours) is invested in or loaned to companies so those companies can develop, to make, and to distribute the goods and services people want and value.

A Portland professional soccer team and a prominent women’s sports bar removed fans wearing apparel from XX-XY Athletics, a company that opposes allowing men who claim to identify as women to compete in women’s sports.

A group of eight fans attended the women’s soccer match between the Portland Thorns and the Washington Spirit at the stadium Providence Park Sunday, but security escorted them from the venue. Later, the Sports Bra, a women’s sports bar, expelled the same fans over the XX-XY Athletics t-shirts.

XX-XY Athletics, a sports brand aiming to compete with Nike, notes biological differences between the sexes that give men advantages in many sports. The t-shirts emphasize “XX” and “XY,” the chromosomal markers of men and women, to focus on sex rather than gender identity.

“I would love to hear, why are we being ejected today?” Amy Sousa, one of the women wearing an XX-XY branded shirt, asks in a video published by Fox News.

“I was made aware that some transphobic…” a security guard responds, while women object and cut him off.

The guard states that “somebody was giving out information,” and the women object to that claim, saying they did not distribute materials.

Reality is ‘transphobic’, apparently.

I was born two years before Sept. 11, 2001. I belong to the first generation of Americans for whom the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon are not a personal memory. Because I do not remember the morning itself, the television images, or the atmosphere of fear and uncertainty that settled over the country, I know Sept. 11 as history.

But the history myself and those of my generation inherited did not end on that day. In some respects, it had only begun.

Twenty-five years after 9/11, the face of Islamic violence looks like a truck driven into a crowded street, a knife attack on a train, and a church attacked and burned. It has meant the consequential transformation of our nation through migration, parallel communities, Sharia courts, and the growing political influence of Islamist movements. Globally, it has meant the rise of the ISIS caliphate, the Oct. 7 attacks by Hamas, and the massacre of innocent people worldwide.

My needs are very simple.

Britain’s highest taxpayers have been drifting offshore since the non-dom regime was scrapped in April 2025 and inheritance tax was extended to worldwide assets.

This shift is already visible on the Sunday Times lists: six of the 2026 Tax List’s top 100 (including Revolut’s Nik Storonsky) had left in the previous year, the compiler noted that one in nine names on that list were no longer UK-resident, and the companion Rich List dropped dozens of foreign billionaires while recording a sharp rise in British nationals now based in Dubai, Switzerland and Monaco.

But, the latest news is likely the most disturbing to the increasingly socialist government as the UK’s 3rd largest taxpayer – hedge fund founder Chris Rokos – is set to leave.

A young Bangladeshi girl in Italy was threatened with death by her family if she refused to accept an arranged marriage. Fortunately, she was able to alert the police and was rescued before her family could do her any harm.

The article doesn’t give any information about the young lady’s prospective spouse, but one presumes that she was intended to marry a cousin. An arranged marriage to a first cousin is the standard practice for Muslims in that part of the world.

I can’t think of any of my first cousins that I would care to marry. They were all rather unpleasant people.

A certain pattern is emerging on the far left. Political figures spend years currying the favor of other extremists with outrageous commentary, proudly proclaiming their commitment to eliminating the Senate, opening the border, and other measures. Then, they delete all of the comments and declare themselves mainstream. The idea is to run in the center but govern from the far left, the so-called Spanberger strategy. The latest example is William Lawrence, who is running for Michigan’s 7th Congressional District. However, Lawrence’s prior self reveals just how radical this movement could prove.

Apparently, there was an organized boatlift of north African migrants crossing from France into the U.K earlier today. Various non-governmental organizations were in place with tents and supplies to assist the migrants upon arrival.

By most accounts the influx appears to have been facilitated by NGO’s working with British authorities.  However, at various ports where the migrants arrived, they were met with hundreds of young British men who attempted to blockade the activity of the police and nefarious human traffickers.

Sounds like democracy to me. Good to see people waking up to the problems that their government is facilitating rather than preventing.

Chicago’s archbishop, Cardinal Blase Cupich, joined two orders of Catholic nuns and an Illinois pharmacist in a lawsuit filed Thursday in an effort to block the End-of-Life Options for Terminally Ill Patients Act (EOLOA), the Becket Fund for Religious Liberty stated in a press release. The law, which they say would force the Church to help terminally ill patients kill themselves in violation of its teachings on the dignity of life, was signed by Democratic Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker in December 2025 and is scheduled to go into effect Sept. 12.

Just like the networks spent months helpfully skipping over the Nazi tattoo on the chest of Maine Democrat Graham Platner, they have largely ignored radical leftist influencer Hasan Piker, who has campaigned with Michigan Democrat Abdul El-Sayed. ABC and NBC haven’t found him, while CBS broke the mold with two stories.

The “PBS NewsHour” hasn’t mentioned Piker, although there was a mention on the PBS show “Washington Week with The Atlantic” on Aug. 14. The show’s host, Atlantic Editor Jeffrey Goldberg, volunteered: “The party has developed something of a Hasan Piker problem. This is a popular hard-left Twitch streamer who has said that America deserved 9/11, that Jews are inbred. He’s praised Mao. He’s praised Houthi terrorists and so on. Democrats are extremely worried about the presence of people like this who are no longer at the margin, who are creating, let’s say, loads of new ads, if nothing else, for Republicans.”

National Public Radio offered more coverage, but none of it dipped to the level of loopy detail that Goldberg did. “America deserved 9/11” never came up, or the Houthis, or praising Chinese communist dictator Mao Zedong as a great leader. On the June 15 “All Things Considered,” Elena Moore, who covers young voters for NPR, tamely described Piker as “a leftist streamer who’s been stumping for progressive candidates. He’s got an audience of millions across social media, but he’s also, Ailsa, divisive because of his strong anti-Israel beliefs.”

Gambians have been in the news lately on both sides of the Atlantic. For some reason the expatriates of that small African country are getting increasingly lively in their attempts to culturally enrich their host countries.

The latest example of a gamboling Gambian comes from the Italian city of Padua, and involves the familiar pastime of shouting “Allahu Akhbar” while brandishing a knife in a public place. The mischievous youth is one of the innumerable “children” who landed in Europe during the Great Migration Crisis, and has availed himself of the benefits conferred by the Italian welfare state ever since, all while helping the police increase the volume of their arrest records.

I HAVE NEVER managed to lose my old conviction that travel narrows the mind. At least a man must make a double effort of moral humility and imaginative energy to prevent it from narrowing his mind.

Not too long ago I engaged in a discussion with a Muslim individual who asserted our American democracy can be found in some elements of the document commonly known as The Constitution of Medina, or ?a??fat al-Mad?na, which occupies an important place in discussions of early Islamic political history. It is sometimes presented as evidence that Islam developed a form of constitutional democracy centuries before the emergence of modern Western democracy, and particularly before the founding of the United States.

The document is an unusually early example of a written political and legal agreement associated with Muhammad’s community at Yathrib (now Medina) following the hijrah (migration) from Mecca in 622 A.D. It regulates relations among different groups, establishes mutual obligations, addresses collective security, and recognizes the religious identity of Jewish participants. Modern scholars have therefore understandably regarded it as a significant document in the history of Islamic political organization.

Yet acknowledging its historical importance is not the same as identifying it with modern constitutional democracy.

The central problem is anachronism. The Medina Charter can reasonably be described as constitutional in a broad, functional or historical sense. It is much harder to defend the claim that it represents ‘democracy’ in the modern political sense of popular sovereignty, representative government, political equality, separation of powers, and legally protected individual rights.

Theocracy and democracy are clean different things.

While activists risk imprisonment, persecution, and even death to challenge these laws. , countless girls continue to lose their childhoods, their education, their health, and often their lives.
