Whatever disagreements we may have with her ideas or views on particular issues, or whatever issues we may have with “the Objectivist movement” (and any of us who have been involved it it for years, as I have, will likely have some of that), today we set those aside and acknowledge the value, to us, of Ayn Rand’s work. So Happy Birthday and Thank you, Ayn Rand!
For those who follow me here, but haven’t yet read her works, I would recommend first starting with The Fountainhead, as I did. (I was fortunate enough to have my HS English teacher assign the novel to us.) If you’ve already read that, but haven’t tackled Atlas Shrugged yet, I highly recommend it. The parallels you’ll see between the world Rand depicts in that novel, and the world we live in today, are incredible–and also ominous.
I’ve started a new series of tweets. I’m calling it “Answering AOC,” and I’m tweeting in response to Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who is emerging as the leading proponent of socialism in the United States. I’m distributing the tweets not only on Twitter, but also on Instagram and Facebook. So if you’re on any of these platforms, and you’d like to help me spread the message, please do. There are three in the series so far, and I’m pinning this one:
Oh, and as usual, I’m always grateful for your support as I embark on battle on another front. In several weeks I’ll get more formal about setting up a subscription service, doing solo shows again, etc. At the moment, I’m still recovering from the nasty bug I caught a few weeks ago. Slowly but surely…
Rahaf Mohammad shows herself to be a hero who refuses to sacrifice. (Great) Federal judge rules that law enforcement may not force someone to unlock his phone with biometrics, and China reports that it has succeeded in sprouting a cotton plant on the moon. (Good) Instagram notifies Amy that it has taken down a graphic she posted in August, and does not answer her request for an explanation/appeal; Trump conducts a Twitter campaign to scare everyone into funding his wall. (Lame) Brexit deal fails in Parliament and, as a result, May is facing a no-confidence vote; Apple says Qualcomm refused to sell it chips for the latest iPhones. (Messy) The Mayor of Gdansk, Poland, dies after being stabbed onstage at a charity event. (Horrific) and more.
Enjoy this series of shows with Yaron? My appearances on Tucker Carlson? If you’d like to help support my work, you may support me directly at this link via PayPal, while I figure out what other platform/subscription service I might use. Thank you!
