There are economists who claim that deficit spending by our government is immune from the economic principles that govern all other financial transactions; that deficit spending by government is neutral, and even beneficial. Certainly in the short term, such as during war, increasing the debt is a necessary evil. But as debt increases faster than…

This is from the always intriguing Jason Whitlock, who clearly has no idea that he is violating every cultural norm of the Left by actually thinking for himself and rejecting the narrative that it is all Whitey’s fault. Commenter “Satrose” sent this to me yesterday and I read it with great interest. I’m not so…

As usual, J.J. Sefton beat me to this excellent article, but its message is worth repeating. The Left, with its slavish adherence to dogma, and its acolytes willing to be foot soldiers in its war against the West, has systematically overrun the institutions that made America great and unique, and any change, even if possible,…

Yeah…not much of a rant because I am currently away from my computer and the thought of composing one of these on a phone is just a little silly. But…commenter “Blake” sent me a link to a thought-provoking blog entry that addresses many of the issues we discuss here every day. You might not like…

The usual suspects are trying to whip up class resentment over the supposedly unequal and inefficient distribution of the Wuhan Flu vaccine. Regardless of whether you will get the vaccine, here’s a bit of actual fact to counter the leftist politics of division. I’ll use Pfizer as an example. Pfizer already has infrastructure in place…

There is no American cultural affinity for China or Chinese culture. We have no deep connections to them, unlike the historic connections to Ireland and Germany and Italy and Scandinavia and other sources of immigrants. Sure, there are large populations of ethnic Chinese in America, but the larger cultural connections are shallow. One can understand…

Ah…SCIENCE! Let’s destroy the restaurant industry based on nothing more than the fascistic desire for control among the nation’s governors and mayors, coupled with nonsensical interpretations of crap “studies.” This “science” is nothing of the sort. Real science…the boring double-blind studies and careful statistical analysis of data and most important, the understanding of the many…

We are supposed to live in a free society (don’t laugh!), and the default among our representatives should be that information is to be widely disseminated among the people for purposes of transparency and accountability. Before something is classified (made secret) there should be a careful examination of who and what is being protected. Embarrassing…

Yes, the perfidy of our “Republican” senators is well known. Mike Lee and Rick Scott are the two latest examples of a breathtaking lack of patriotism and an equally breathtaking loyalty to their masters. Who and what those masters are is academic. China, big corporate donors (but I repeat myself), a side piece who is…

The abject failure of the Republican Party (both the inside-the-beltway whore variety and even the more ideologically rational segments) to communicate its philosophical basis and its basic, readily acceptable platform is a travesty. How difficult would it be to hammer home a few simple points about the preservation of our republic through a robust and…
