I frequently fly from New Orleans, Louisiana, to Vancouver, British Columbia, and then back again. There is no direct airplane route between these two cities. Often, the best route is via a connection through the Dallas Fort Worth Airport. This facility has become almost a second home for me. It alone constitutes almost a veritable gigantic city. Like every major metropolitan entity, it has a train system. This one is called the Skylink.

My learned friend Hans Hermann-Hoppe has recently offered a critical evaluation of Javier Milei, president of Argentina. If I had to summarize it in one single advertising jingle it would be: “He is as good as any leader of any country, at present, and better than some.” This, perhaps, is an unlikely way of presenting the matter, but an accurate one. Hoppe full well acknowledges that Milei did indeed get rid of rent control and axed several Argentinian business regulations.

When I was a child growing up in Brooklyn, New York, we kids used to play a game. It was called Ringolevio. I was born in 1941, so this must have been around 1948-1951 or so. According to the rules, there were two equally sized teams (if there were an odd number of players, one team with the better players would have fewer of them; we wanted to equalize things, so as to have a good competition). Each player would try to “capture” the members of the opposite teams.

zero comment There have been ongoing campus protests against Israel, with participation from Arab students and members of the public. Unfortunately, some Jews, both on and off campus, are also involved in these protests. But what about vigils or demonstrations in support of Israel, the only Jewish state in the world? In universities dominated by radical leftist ideologies, such events are unlikely to find much support. And it’s doubtful that Arabs would join such efforts.
