“Henry Hazlitt’s explanation of how a price system works is a true classic: timeless, correct, painlessly instructive.” — Milton Friedman, Nobel Laureate in Economic Sciences Economics in One Lesson is the title of a book by Henry Hazlitt, who some consider to be “arguably the greatest economic journalist of the 20th century.” Though largely self-taught, […]

Just to clarify up front, the titular “manual” is the Bible, and the excerpt below is from The Roman Catholic Controversy by James R. White. (My readers may remember that this book was among those listed in my recent “Five Non-Fiction Books I Enjoyed Reading in 2025” post.) The doctrine of justification is central to […]

Larry Arnn, author and president of Hillsdale College, delivered remarks at a reception at the college last November. The speech — or, at least, the adaptation printed in Imprimis — was titled “Today’s Firestorm and the Declaration”.

Earlier this year, I posted “4 Easter-Related Archaeological Finds”, for which I borrowed material from Dr. Titus Kennedy’s book Unearthing […]

“U.S. President Donald Trump is the most obvious avatar for the geopolitical shifts confronting the [climate negotiation] talks.” — Politico‘s write-up on the U.N.’s recent Conference of the Parties The following excerpt comes from Dispatch Energy, one of the mildly-to-moderately anti-Trump newsletters under The Dispatch umbrella. Article author Philip Rossetti pointed out the real “elephant […]

“I don’t hear a ‘demonic growl.’ I hear the Lion of Judah ROARING in this song!! 🔥 Come quickly Lord!!” — fan comment on YouTube As you may or may not be aware, the popular Christian rock band Skillet recently released a music video with their cover of the traditional Advent hymn “O Come, O […]
