Ray Dalio embodies the greed, arrogance, hypocrisy, and lack of shame required to reach the billionaire stratosphere of money management professionals. Here’s why he is one of Communist China’s biggest sycophants.

Omicron and the Intrepid Dr. Coetzee
Researching Dr. Angelique Coetzee, the doctor who diagnosed the first cases of the Omicron variant in South Africa, I came to appreciate that she’s part of a feisty medical establishment that stands up to government interference. Coetzee is chair of the South African Medical Association, which puts the American Medical Association to shame.
China’s Steve Simon WTA Nightmare
President Xi Jinping, Communist China’s president for life, has long enjoyed subjugating U.S. corporations and their chief executives to his will. Steve Simon is the rare U.S. business executive willing to forfeit tens of millions of dollars rather than ignore Xi’s human rights atrocities.
Healthcare’s Congressional Stooges
If you are fed up with the cost and quality of U.S. healthcare, here’s why you should support the ousting of Senators Bill Cassidy, (R-La), and Mark Kelly (D-Ariz), Reps. David McKinley (R-W.Va) and Doris Matsui (D-Calif), along with Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer and AG Dana Nessel.
Thanks For Vanquished Vaccine Critics
Among the things I’m grateful for this American Thanksgiving are the brave doctors and other qualified professionals who braved online banishment for daring to speak truth to power. Orwell is proving to be an optimist.
In Praise of In-N-Out Burger
Most U.S. companies pay lip service to how much they care about their employees and customers. The In-N-Out burger chain is one of the few I know of that really means it.
The Plucking of NBC’s Peacock
Truth no longer matters at NBC News or is demanded of its anchors and guests. Indeed, a federal judge recently tossed a defamation suit filed against MSNBC and anchor Rachel Maddow after ruling that any intelligent person knows that she is a purveyor of opinions not necessarily grounded in fact.
The Appalling Censorship of Dr. Katrin Kuhn
. . . and then they came for the infectious disease epidemiologists.
How Censorship Fuels Vaccine Skepticism
Social media censors think they are doing God’s work removing content at odds with the Biden Administration’s vaccine narrative. In fact, they are fueling growing vaccine resistance and heightening the anger of many people who are a lot smarter than the media would have you believe.
The CDC’s and NIH’s Conflicted Research
ProPublica in December 2019, when Dr. Fauci wasn’t yet a household name, published its “Dollars for Profs” investigation that revealed widespread financial and other conflicts in studies financed by the National Institutes of Health. ProPublica’s findings have taken on increased significance, particularly the funding of a vaccine research nonprofit whose executive vice president had a lucrative financial stake in a biotech company with exclusive rights to his research.
The company has partnered with a Chinese biotech to launch a Covid-19 vaccine in greater China. The vaccine was approved under President Trump’s warp speed initiative.
