The relationship between an increase in the minimum wage and a decrease in entry-level jobs has been studied and studied and studied, and guess what? It exists. It’s real, and the economic literature is clear. It’s even pretty obvious to most sentient beings! Increase the cost of one of the inputs of any business, and…

The Morning Report 2/26/21
Good morning, kids. The weekend is here and, surprise! America is back, baby. That is, back to sending our troops into harm’s way in order to sate the bloodlust of the military industrial complex and their profiteers in the DC junta, regardless to the consequences to our national interest or if our security is even threatened…
The Morning Report 2/25/21
Good morning, kids. Thursday and as both Angel of Death Cuomo and Gavin Newsom circle the wagons, if they’re not in fact circling the drain, the real story is the Junta’s throttling voices of opposition via legislation and bureaucratic diktat, aided and abetted by the crony-corporatist sector and, more chillingly, from our colleagues, neighbors and even…
The Morning Report 2/24/21
Good morning, kids. Wednesday and the inexorable drift towards “getting our hair mussed” as General Buck Turgidson would say continues apace, perhaps even gaining a step. The junta that rigged the election and seized power is now going full tilt boogie in its effort to consolidate it. The already weaponized law enforcement and national security bureaucracies…
The Morning Rant
When Jeff Sessions, the amiable coward, recused himself from the Special Counsel Investigation did anyone expect anything other than a hyper-partisan hack job? Robert Mueller was a political hatchet man, completely untethered to the rule of law, so a thundering condemnation of President Trump and a recommendation that charges be filed against him seemed to…
The Morning Report 2/23/21
Good morning, kids. Tuesday brings, yet again, more “lies, damned lies, and statistics” from the Enemy as the nation formerly known as the United States of America continues its headlong plunge into the abyss. With the Supreme Court effectively cementing in place the Junta’s ability to rig elections in any state it controls by refusing to…
The Morning Report 2/22/21
Good morning, kids. Happy birthday to some old white guy named George Washington. Start of a new week and several things are popping at once, not least of which is the coming apart at the seams of our society even as the illegal and evil junta officially known as the Democrat Party is making its…
Trump For Congress? Um…Cute, But Dumb
It’s an appealing idea; one that combines a thumb in the eye of the Democrat machine that is desperate to deplatform (and probably imprison) President Trump with a ready-made bully pulpit for a man who is a master at using one. Trump for Congress, 2022 Trump for Congress 2022! Donald Trump declares his candidacy, asks…
The Morning Report 2/19/21
Good morning, kids. The weekend is here and the tributes and reflections on the life and legacy of one of the finest, most consequential citizens the nation formerly known as the United States of America has ever produced, Rush Limbaugh, keep on coming as they no doubt will for at least the next few days…
The Morning Rant
This is delightful on one level; any time the Democrats go after one of their own it is time for some popcorn and maybe even a pudding cup. But the reality is that this is just political theater. Sure, the New York State legislature is going to try to claw back some of the power…
