- Unmarried does not mean fatherless! It is a lot more complicated!
- The author also only faintly hints at decades of government programs that promote and finance single mother households. Many rational acting citizens can be excused for a lot of dollars and sense to take advantage of these government programs by officially stating to be a single parent household!

Digital currency has the potential to become a single global currency and legal tender
This is certainly something to look forward to! Digital currency also known as crypto currency!
If national governments and/or their international surrogates do not stand in the way, it will happen sooner than later! Authoritarian regimes/dictatorships are another stumbling block!
How the citizens of the world will govern this new global currency is an open question.
Spontaneous order and free individuals can make it happen! Voluntary and by free choice!

Ronald Reagan: “Freedom is a fragile thing and is never more than one generation away from extinction.
It is not ours by inheritance; it must be fought for and defended constantly by each generation, for it comes only once to a people.
Those who have known freedom, and then lost it, have never known it again.”

The Jesse Owens They Don't Teach You about in History Class by Lawrence Reed
You’ll discover that a snub more disgraceful than anything Hitler could have done was “progressive” Franklin Roosevelt’s decision to invite only the white American Olympians to the White House [Indeed, FDR was not such a great president for other reasons as well!] and keep Jesse out. ...
He resisted what he disparaged as “blackthink,” the idea that all blacks should think alike and spend their days in bitter resentment. He was a rugged individualist, not a collectivist fool. He loved America and never condemned the nation for the sins of a few. He never wallowed in victimology. He lived his life according to the Golden Rule. ...
His name is still widely recognized but mostly for what he did in 1936, and not much for what he ever said. That’s unfortunate because Jesse said and wrote many things that deserve attention today. ...
“I’m no scholar in history but I don’t think you have to be a PhD to see the striking, disgusting similarity between all forms of tyranny. Suppressing the personal identity of the individual into some group, the end justifying the means, force instead of freedom. These are what make every despot and potential despot tick, whether it be a Hitler, a George Lincoln Rockwell, a KKK’er, or a black militant…I’ve seen the despotism of the spirit drive out almost everything else good in a man, day after day, sometimes hour by hour, until he’s a fanatic wooden stereotype.” ...
""... But prejudice isn’t violence. I’m not saying bigotry isn’t rotten. But the line between the man who pulls a gun on me and the bigot who pulls a prejudice on me is a thick line. And if we handle them both the same way, we’re trading liberty for the jungle. The man who thinks Negroes are inferior and won’t have anything to do with them is stupid, maybe sick. But in the United States he has the right to be those things as long as he doesn’t back up his ideas as the KKK or the blackthinkers have—with fists and fires and ropes.” ..."
The Covid-19 global pandemic was like the return of the Middle Ages
Totally overblown Hysteria and panic were constantly whipped up and ruled almost every day for over two years!
The elites in Western countries were gripped by massive superstition for over two years! Rational thinking and common sense were in very short supply during that period!
Non vaccinated citizens were stigmatized and treated like outcasts!
The response to the Covid-19 pandemic in Western countries between 2020-2022 has obviously demonstrated that the we humans today are not much smarter or better than our ancestors who lived through the Middle Ages when it comes to plagues! It is a bit schocking having to recognize this in the 21st century!

Risk factors for severe outcomes identified in the study included being 65 years and older, immunosuppressed, and having one or more of six other underlying conditions. Indeed, all people with severe outcomes had at least one risk factor, while 78 percent of persons who died had at least four. ...
“Unfortunately, CDC long ago redefined its mission,” ... “It now acts as a Commissar of Health, claiming unlimited power to make individuals conform to whatever it defines as healthy behavior for the entire U.S. population. It defines behaviors that will reduce suicide, obesity, firearms violence, general violence, adolescent and school health, smoking, perinatal care, reproductive health (both U.S. and global, and only for women), depression, reducing ‘disparities,’ dental problems, drinking, sexual behavior, child-rearing, and lack of sleep. ..."

To date, Elbit Systems has been also been contracted by the Canadian Ministry of Transportation to supply the Hermes Starliner UAS as well as by a dozen additional countries to provide other variants of the Hermes 900 UAS."
Notes on De l'esprit by Helvetius
Facts and details are very important! However, if you live by the wrong principles or by no principles or you waver on critical principles, then facts and details do not matter much anymore!
“The knowledge of certain principles easily compensates the lack of knowledge of certain facts.”
"la connaissance de certains principes supplée facilement à la connoissance de certains faits.”"
Claude Adrien Helvétius. De l’esprit. 1759 (Source)
Wikipedia does not even have a separate entry for this book that was once condemned! You can actually not find any good summary on the Internet using Google search.

George Washington and Cato
Addison's play is a dramatization of the last days of the Roman Senator Marcus Porcius Cato (95-46 BCE), who for Addison served as an exemplar of republican virtue and opposition to tyranny. In the Roman Civil War that followed Caesar's famous crossing of the Rubicon in 49 BCE, the patrician Cato joined the senatorial opposition to Caesar's tyranny. After the defeat of Pompey in the Battle of Pharsalus (48 BCE), Cato continued to hold out against Caesar at Utica in northern Africa, where he found an ally in the Numidian King Juba I. After a decisive defeat in the Battle of Thapsus (46 BCE), Cato committed suicide, as was considered proper for an adherent of Stoic philosophy...."

- It does not find articles, the competitors find easily unless you use a rather cumbersome way of entering the search term
- You are not logged in. You have 6 free search queries for today. (I got this message before even reaching 6 searches)

The DDoS attack affected targets including the websites of the Ministry of Defense and the Armed Forces of Ukraine, as well as the web services of Privatbank and Oschadbank. ..."
In study, a woman achieved cure from HIV and remission of acute myeloid leukemia
This woman has been in remission of AML for 4½ years and has had no HIV rebound in the 14 months since antiretroviral therapy was stopped ...
If HIV remission continues and she is determined to be cured, she would be only the third person to achieve cure and the first HIV remission to have been successfully engrafted with umbilical cord blood cells with a mutation that is protective against HIV-1 (CCR5-delta32/32 homozygous) combined with stem cells from an adult, haploidentical (“half-matched”) related donor. ...
The CCR5-delta32 mutation is rare, but cord blood banks may provide a previously untapped resource, according to the researchers, and the combination therapy would enable clinicians to take advantage of the unique benefits offered by each type of graft for more diverse populations. ..."
E-Auto-Prämien wurden massenhaft für Exportgeschäfte missbraucht
Die Forscher untersuchten dazu, wie viele neue E-Autos in Deutschland erstmals angemeldet wurden (Neuzulassungen) und wie viele E-Autos auf deutschen Straßen unterwegs sind (Fahrzeugbestand) – und dabei eine erhebliche Diskrepanz festgestellt: Während zwischen Januar und September 236.695 reine Elektrofahrzeuge neu zugelassen worden seien, habe sich die Elektroflotte in Deutschland nur um 207.435 Fahrzeuge erhöht. Fazit: „Entsprechend fehlen rund 29.260 Elektro-Pkw im Bestand."
