KINGMAKER DRUDGE DEFEATS ESTABLISHMENT MEDIA WITH TRUMP WIN
We're living in the future in which citizen reporting trumps mainstream media By standing up for Donald Trump when the establishment media went against him, media pioneer Matt Drudge has reignited independent journalism in which everyday Americans are just as important as the New York Times. Twenty years ago, Drudge correctly surmised the mainstream media would grow so attached to the establishment that it would soon become irrelevant.

Protect Your Library the Medieval Way, With Horrifying Book Curses
IN THE MIDDLE AGES, CREATING a book could take years. A scribe would bend over his copy table, illuminated only by natural light—candles were too big a risk to the books—and spend hours each day forming letters, by hand, careful never to make an error. To be a copyist, wrote one scribe, was painful: “It extinguishes the light from the eyes, it bends the back, it crushes the viscera and the ribs, it brings forth pain to the kidneys, and weariness to the whole body.” Given the extreme effort that went into creating books, scribes and book owners had a real incentive to protect their work. They used the only power they had: words. At the beginning or the end of books, scribes and book owners would write dramatic curses threatening thieves with pain and suffering if they were to steal or damage these treasures.

Election Results Show There Is No One ‘Hispanic’ Vote
As is well known, this election will start, not end, months or years of probing existential debates for conservatives and liberals. But one trope both sides can discard early is that there is a “Hispanic” vote. As Florida demonstrated, it doesn’t exist. Generalizing about Hispanic votes, or even Cuban-Americans ones, is fool’s gold. It's better to appeal to all Americans with good policies—rather than look at the country as a mosaic of groups. Some Hispanics did vote for Trump.

The Government Won't Make America Great Again
The 2016 election was notable for many things—from the frequency of ad hominem arguments to the frequency of scandals to the frequency of OMG reactions to Donald Trump’s victory.

The Intelligentsia Takes a Hit
Last night's surprising result left Trump supporters elated, Clinton supporters dejected. Most libertarians have long given up hope that the electoral process can bring substantial improvements to US policies. But there is an important silver lining to this year's election season. Public skepticism of the establishment media, think-tanks, academics, and other members of the intelligentsia is at an all-time high.
