BARONE: Do we have to watch their wretched movie all over again?

August 8, 2021 Michael Barone

Why do I feel that I have seen this movie before? I would like to think that learning is cumulative. But I’m beginning to think that every generation or two, people need to learn all […]

BARONE: Speech suppression is habit-forming

August 2, 2021 Michael Barone

Speech suppression is a habit that the Biden administration and its liberal supporters can’t seem to break. Many staffers may have picked up the habit in their student years: Colleges and universities have been routinely […]

BARONE: Joe Biden’s big lie

July 24, 2021 Michael Barone

BARONE: Both parties fail to respond to signals in the political marketplace

July 15, 2021 Michael Barone

I like to apply free-market analysis to American politics. Within established laws, politicians compete for votes and are rewarded for maximizing voters’ preferences. As in economics, there are sometimes market failures, but mostly the system […]

BARONE: Adolescents need constraints, not indulgence

June 22, 2021 Michael Barone

“Letting adolescents have their way.” That’s one way to describe two public policies, advocated vociferously by woke liberals, opposed surely by most. One primarily affects young men, the other primarily young women. The policy primarily […]

BARONE: Facebook’s speech suppression argues for repeal of Section 230 and a Facebook stock price of zero

June 11, 2021 Michael Barone

“A lot of people have egg on their face” for dismissing the COVID-19 lab leak theory, tweeted ABC News’ Jonathan Karl this week. “Some things may be true even if Donald Trump said them.” Or […]

BARONE: Reform prosecutors may hang on, but national Democrats may not

May 29, 2021 Michael Barone

Last week’s Democratic primary election for Philadelphia district attorney could presage outcomes in the 2022 and 2024 elections, but not in the way the winner would like. Foreigners are often surprised that Americans elect most […]

BARONE: British Labour’s problems could hurt Democrats, too

May 24, 2021 Michael Barone
