Think about Hunter Biden’s pain. Talk to your dad about his feelings—and his period. And be warned: Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is suspiciously cozy with his wife.
These were actual mainstream media narratives last week. As usual, I’m saving the receipts.

North America’s most livable cities are also among the least affordable. At least, that’s my conclusion from the Economist‘s 2023 Livability Index. According to this index, Vancouver BC, which Wendell Cox ranks as the least-affordable housing market in North America, is also the continent’s most livable city.
Other cities that the Economist ranks high on the livability list include Boston, Honolulu, Miami, Montreal, Portland, Toronto, San Francisco, Seattle, and Washington, all of which are rated unaffordable (median home prices are at least five times median household incomes) by Cox. The only city that is truly affordable and, according to the Economist, livable is Pittsburgh, and it’s so livable that its population has been shrinking for 70 years. Admittedly, the Economist also counts Atlanta, Calgary, and Minneapolis as livable, regions that Cox says are marginally affordable (home prices 4 to 5 times incomes).
The Economist bases its livability index on five factors: stability, healthcare, culture & environment, education, and infrastructure. The stability of Portland, San Francisco, and Seattle is pretty questionable at the moment, but the big question is why isn’t housing affordability one of the factors in the Economist‘s livability index.
Every place is affordable to the Crust.

Canadian wildfires are all over the headlines, but this latest dose of climate-related fear-porn is just another stage in a propaganda campaign aiming to “pivot from covid to climate”.

Democrats and Republicans reached an agreement to lift the debt ceiling, and nothing is going to change in the disturbing pattern of America’s national debt climbing by leaps and bounds. The best reason for pessimism? Our Democrat-messaging media. They can’t be bothered to offer the most basic facts in budget coverage.
What is the budget for the current fiscal year? What was the last budget deficit? How large is the national debt? These are questions that are rarely answered by news anchors. What we get is a lot of horse-race jockeying and finger-pointing instead of facts. They must think the viewers are too stupid to juggle numbers.
Rich Noyes of the Media Research Center studied all 74 evening-news stories on the spending debate from January 1 through May 27, when agreement was struck. It’s not pretty.
