Kamala Harris is more than a continuation of the Obama-Biden progressive interventionism at home and abroad. She's an acceleration. 

Under the regime of apartheid, South Africa's government engaged in legal discrimination. In the new South Africa, the government also engages in legal racial discrimination in the name of "equity."

Recently, the Biden administration introduced plans to limit increases in apartment rents to 5% annually.

Economic mythology said governments must regulate markets to prevent monopolies. In reality, it is the government regulation itself that creates monopolies, which do not emerge in free markets.

Last week, Julian Assange was freed and the Chevron doctrine was overturned. These are huge wins for liberty. Not long ago, they felt completely out of reach.
