I tried meat grown in a lab.

It tastes like ... well ... meat.

I guess it is meat, but it's not grown the normal way.

Scientists extract meat cells from an animal and then grow them in a bioreactor, much like ones you see in a brewery. There, the cells divide again and again until you get ... meat.

If you want to try some, you'll soon be ...Read more

Politicians bash businesses. "Stop the greed!" shouts Sen. Bernie Sanders. Many Republicans are equally ignorant. When some Florida businesses raised prices in response to sudden demand during a crisis (a useful signaling device in a free market), Attorney General Pam Bondi called that "sickening ... disgusting ... unacceptable!" Now she's U.S. ...Read more

The Department of Government Efficiency has started making moves. The D.C. media are furious about his attempts to cut government agencies. But I take Elon Musk's side. More efficient government has been promised often. It's never happened. Instead, government just grew. Sen. Rand Paul showcases stupid government "investments" like the $118,000 ...Read more

Finally, a real libertarian is president. That's in Argentina, where last year, Javier Milei surprised pundits by winning the election by a landslide. Now that he's had a chance to govern, my new video covers the results and explains why Milei is now even more popular.

Argentina was once one of the richest countries in the world. Then, ...Read more

"Sustainability" investments became popular a few years back. So-called experts said companies shouldn't just focus on profit. They should put more effort into being "nice." Funds pushing ESG (environmental, social and governance) were all the rage. Giant investment firms like BlackRock pressured companies to hire more women and minorities. CEO ...Read more

"Donald Trump will be a tyrant!" So my neighbors claim. I live in Manhattan. Feel for me. Yes, Trump says wild things, like riffing about "terminating" parts of the U.S. Constitution. But I don't think he means it. As Joe Rogan said to Trump when candidate Trump came on his show, "You say a lot of wild s---!"

In any case, podcaster Michael ...Read more

Colleges went mad. They charge students big bucks and then make them feel guilty. My new video looks at a new documentary called "The Coddling of the American Mind." It persuasively suggests that today, young people are anxious and depressed because "adults" at their schools brainwashed them. Students like Lucy Kross Wallace at Stanford.

"I was...Read more

Media scream, "Too many people have guns!" Second Amendment activist Maj Toure says more people should carry guns. "Everybody should be walking around," he says, "like, 'Oh man, I left my gun in the house. Let me go back and get it.' It should be as normal as a cellphone." Activists and some politicians want gun control. Toure says, "All ...Read more

'Tis the season for giving. For me, that mostly means supporting charities. One organization I donate to is SSP, Student Sponsor Partners, a nonprofit that gives scholarships to kids from low-income families. SSP helps children escape bad public schools by providing grants to students so they can pay the cheaper tuition at mostly Catholic ...Read more

The movie "The Matrix" gave us the "red pill" and the "blue pill." The red wakes you up to reality; the blue keeps you indoctrinated. Internet culture then invented a black pill. Those who take it think the world is doomed. So, podcaster Michael Malice wrote the book "The White Pill," calling it a "symbol of hope." "Young people in recent years,...Read more

Government excels at NOT getting things done. But politicians promise more things anyway. Kamala Harris declared that our government would "build thousands of miles of fiber-optic cable!" This "Broadband Connectivity Agenda" was supported by "every House Republican on Energy and Commerce," write Republican representatives. Three years later, not...Read more

Union leaders, some of them, are self-destructive idiots! America's ports have fallen behind! Not a single one ranks in the top 50 worldwide! A big reason is that dock unions stop innovation! This fall, the International Longshoremen's Association shut down East and Gulf coast ports, striking for a raise and a ban on automation. They got the ...Read more

As we gather this Thanksgiving, it's easy to take abundance for granted. Leftovers are practically guaranteed. It wasn't always this way. For most of history, there were no Thanksgiving feasts. Hunger, if not starvation, was the norm. Today, supermarkets are stocked with exotic foods from all over the world. Most of it is more affordable than ...Read more
