  • “Lending is Meritorious and Should be Praised”: How The Fifth Lateran Council Unlocked Financial Theory

    Joel Kaye has shown that the thirteenth-century expansion of trade helped spur refinement of scholastic economic theory, especially for Franciscans, whose views and practices of poverty were contentious. Two very important theories of finance had been developed by the great Franciscan Peter John Olivi in the late thirteenth century: opportunity cost and risk. According to Olivi, it was because of opportunity cost and risk that merchants justly can make profits on arbitrage, seek modest returns on a loan, and charge a range of prices based on market conditions. It took the radical poverty of the Franciscans to see with fresh eyes the value to society provided by merchants and trade! These theories provided groundwork for the idea that interest-bearing loans could be socially valuable rather than merely extractive. Another Franciscan, Bernardino da Feltre, took up the argument, extended it, and openly supported low-interest lending to the poor. He helped Pavia set up a Monte in the fifteenth century. The Monte was a collateralized loan service initially funded by donations. Poor and middle-class people could pawn an item in exchange for a loan. What made this controversial was that the one-year loan would bear interest between 2 and 15% per year to pay for the stewards of the fund.

  • Cigars, a canceled lacrosse season and the scandal rocking a Massachusetts town

    Six of the grads were on Ipswich High School’s lacrosse team, and administrators suspended all six from a playoff game two days later for violating state athletic association rules against tobacco use. The team ultimately voted to forfeit the contest—and just like that, their championship run went up in smoke.

  • Fauci Funded Wuhan Lab Research That Sparked COVID

    Before the COVID-19 pandemic, Anthony Fauci, as head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), provided millions in US taxpayer dollars to fund dangerous gain-of-function research on bat coronaviruses at the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV)—work which is now widely viewed as the source of the unintentional lab leak that sparked the pandemic. Today, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard is releasing never-before-seen communications and documents exposing how Fauci worked with politicized career leadership in the Intelligence Community (IC) to suppress the truth about his actions, the virus’ lab-leak origins, and his role in directing U.S. funding for this dangerous research that caused immeasurable harm and countless lost lives. These documents expose Fauci’s direct role in influencing and manipulating IC assessments on COVID-19, and how Fauci lied to Congress in 2024, when under oath he denied knowledge of or participation in discussions with intelligence officials about viral research.

    evidence in black and white has been released that shows without doubt that he lied about funding the Wuhan research that actually led to the epidemic. He used American funds to finance research at a Chinese laboratory — controlled by a hostile power — that ended up sloppily (or maybe on purpose) leaking the pathogen and causing the epidemic, and then lied about it for years, taking actions against whistle-blowers or anyone in the medical community that dared to raise question about his actions.

    Newly declassified documents released Thursday by Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard show that a U.S. national laboratory assessed the COVID-19 lab-origin hypothesis as a serious possibility as early as May 2020, as well as evidence of U.S.-funded coronavirus research that included planning for spike-protein modifications, receptor-adaptation experiments, and testing in humanized mice in collaboration with researchers at the Wuhan Institute of Virology. The documents also prove that Anthony Fauci lied under oath. The release, issued on Gabbard’s last day on the job, includes an eight-page May 27, 2020, assessment from Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory’s Z Program. That assessment concluded that “all of the necessary conditions for an accidental release of a laboratory-modified coronavirus - specifically a coronavirus adapted to recognize human cell receptors - were present at the Chinese Wuhan Institute of Virology in mid-to-late 2019.” It assigned equal weight to a laboratory-modification hypothesis and a natural-origin scenario.

  • Hillary Accidentally Revealed the Dems' Big Secret About Joe Biden

    "I think there were a lot of conversations going on behind the scenes," Hillary said. "I certainly am aware of that, and participated in a number of them, but there was no way to convince him by going public." Read that again. Private conversations. Plural. Before the debate. She was a part of some of them. The official Democrat Party story has been that Biden's meltdown on that debate stage was a shocking, one-off event that nobody saw coming, and that the party only began discussing his viability afterward. Hillary just torched that narrative herself. She admitted that efforts to push Biden out were already underway behind closed doors well before he ever stumbled through a sentence on stage.

    Remnick continued to ask whether anyone of Hillary's stature went directly to Biden and told him it was over. "I know of a few people who tried that," she said, "and they were met with total denial. And not just from him but from the people around him." That detail matters more than the headline quote about Biden's "terrible mistake." It confirms that the pre-debate concern wasn't some abstract worry shared by anonymous staffers or concerned donors. It was serious enough that people close to Biden made a direct appeal to step aside, and serious enough that he and his inner circle, Jill Biden very much included, shut it down completely.
