        I am addicted!
        To my phone.
        I check an email and before I realize it, I'm watching TikTok videos: lions fight hyenas, military dads reunite with kids, athletes do amazing things ...

                            July 23, 2025War on Capitalism By John Stossel
Capitalism gets a lot of hate. 
I expect it from the left. They blame free markets for racism, "horrifying inequality" and even, according to Economist Joseph Stiglitz, "accelerating climate change."

$8 billion!

                            June 11, 2025The Woke Right By John Stossel
In 2018, some activists, appalled by woke nonsense being published by academic journals, submitted nonsensical research.

                            May 7, 2025Useless Government By John Stossel
I have a conflict.
I don't much like Linda McMahon, President Donald Trump's new Education Secretary. I sued her once.
She and her sleazy husband, Vince, owned a circus called World Wrestling Entertainment.
When I did a silly ABC news video on how the matches are staged, one of their 280-pound actors beat me up. A wrestler said Vince told him to do it.
