Very glad so many people liked the Mary Beard episode of the David Frum Show. Tonight we drop audio -and tomorrow video - of a dialogue with @jonrauch.bsky.social on the connection between true knowledge and political freedom. www.youtube.com/watch?v=EpFF...

Crazy to think it will be easier to elect a friend of Israel as president of any Eastern European country than as the next congressperson from midtown Manhattan.

@davidfrum.bsky.social on the "sick psychological dynamic of what President Trump is up to" with proceedings like the FBI raid on former national security advisor John Bolton. "This is unlike anything we've ever seen before." via @bbcnewsnight.bsky.social

If you want to know more about why Trump's latest round of regressive taxes on American consumers is stupid and dangerous ... here's your link. www.theatlantic.com/podcasts/arc...

19th century tariffs did not accelerate US industrialization. Yes, the Great Depression was caused by US tariffs, specifically the tariffs of 1922. The "China shock" of the 2000s did not slow US growth. All this and more ... www.theatlantic.com/podcasts/arc...

Debunking Trump tariff lies on the new David Frum Show podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

Tariffs are a systematic attack on American prosperity. The arguments presented for tariffs are a sustained insult to American intelligence.

On tomorrow's David Frum Show, the trade historian Douglas Irwin debunks the dumb fictions that support Donald Trump's massive tariff tax increases on working-class and middle-class Americans. www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...

If Trump lost valued employees to competing offers, one reason might be his company's court-proven practice of requiring employees to participate in tax fraud in order to gain their full compensation. www.reuters.com/legal/trump-...

Trump's new story is that he fell out with Jeffrey Epstein because Trump's most valued employees preferred to go work for a notorious sex offender rather than stay with Trump.

Trump first term message: "Liberal tears and higher wages." Trump second term message: "Higher taxes on everything you buy to finance my Epstein cover-up and retirement cash-out."

Qatar's gift to Donald Trump of a luxury jet for his post-presidential use will cost taxpayers almost $1 billion in carefully concealed Pentagon funds. That's money straight from your taxes to Trump's personal benefit. www.nytimes.com/2025/07/27/u...

Marxist socialists say, "wealth is plunder." Trump protectionists reply, "exactly - and that's why we brought our plunder sacks with us." www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Planned-economy socialism offered a (bad) answer to the question, "How will you create the social wealth you want to spend?" The new urban-boutique socialism seems not to be aware of the question at all. Latest in @theatlantic.com www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

US Ambassador to Canada Pete Hoekstra had the nerve to give a speech scolding Canadian business leaders for not defending US policies. It's not reasonable to ask businesspeople to jettison their intellect and integrity to defend the indefensible. www.politico.com/newsletters/...

Russia helped Trump in 2016. Trump welcomed the help. The help made a difference to the election outcome. Some deny those facts because they are motivated to protect Trump. Others deny the facts because they are motivated to protect Russia. But the facts are what they are.
