A boomerang is an ancient weapon created by Australian Aboriginal ( Indigenous ) People. It was and is a hunting weapon. If it hit its target, the boomerang could be used for the future. 

If, on the other hand, the weapon missed its target, it would come back to wait until it could be hurled at another time to harvest its prey.

Trump is a master boomerang hurler. He throws the boomerang out and sometimes it hits and sometimes it misses. But he always knows his target. When he misses, the prey, whether it be a " kangaroo ", a " snake " or a wayward " lizard ", the object of his aim will always know that it was nearly a victim and it feels the fear of the next attack.

Why do the Democrats hate him? Why do leaders of Britain, Australia, New Zealand, Canada and other Nations around the world find him so hard to accept?

Is it hatred or fear?

After all, he had lowered unemployment to record levels, increased wages, reduced taxes and overseen the American economy booming. American manufacturing was thriving... and he was taken down by those who despised him and what he had done.  Why is that?

Upon returning to my computer this afternoon I discovered an irate e-mail from the mother of a George Mason University freshman. Here’s my reply to her.

Ms. L__:

I’m dismayed to learn from your e-mail that, because you’ve just discovered that I endorse the Great Barrington Declaration, you’re demanding that your son transfer out of my upcoming Econ 103 course. That decision, obviously, is for you and your son to make. You should advise your son to do what you think best.

But you took time to write to accuse me of “intellectual incompetence,” so I’ll take a moment to defend myself.

In the first year of the pandemic, a team from Otago University in New Zealand (my former university) published an interesting study that provided some explanation for the strong public support for lockdown measures. This support came despite known or predicted collateral harms, including loss of livelihoods, elevated mortality from neglect of other diseases and ailments, “deaths of despair” from greater loneliness, and police abuses. 

The 1993 film Demolition Man saw some parts of our future clearly—and reminds us there are many shades of dystopia.

I haven’t thought about the movie Demolition Man in a long time, but this changed recently when it was brought to my attention that the film is now nearly 30 years old.
