As we have very often pointed out, the US spent the last half century-plus very stupidly outsourcing our prosperity to the rest of the planet. This has been devastating to the middle class. A vital, once-thriving driver of our once very successful nation – we have spent decades thinning this essential herd to near extinction. […]
Happy Tax Day, All. Of course, this is America. EVERY day is Tax Day. Please – raise your hand if you think we aren’t paying enough taxes on enough things. I don’t see a whole lot of hands. In addition to income taxes, We the People pay taxes (or fees, which are taxes) on-and/or-for most […]
Washington, D.C. is currently politically divided. The White House is inhabited by Republican President Donald Trump. The Senate is comprised of a 51-49 Republican majority. The House is comprised of a 235-197 Democrat majority (with three vacancies pending). The Average American realizes: This means Republicans and Democrats must meet somewhere in the middle in order […]
One of the great frustrations about our species – is our rigid insistence on repeating the same mistakes over and over and over again. We spend centuries (eons) learning, it would seem, not a single, solitary thing. Government schools (K-12) are, of course, an abomination. They indoctrinate the next generation of radicals – colleges then […]
British politician Benjamin Disraeli famously asserted: “There are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies, and statistics.” I think Disraeli seriously short sold the number of lies. In his defense – he shuffled off this mortal coil decades before being afflicted with today’s hardcore Left media. Because today’s media is constantly finding new ways to […]
We are in the midst of a worldwide anti-globalist nationalist movement. The first major move – was Brexit. Great Britain voting three years ago to get the heck out of the ridiculous European Union (EU). And reassert its national primacy and sovereignty on such things as immigration and trade. Up next was the United States’ […]
President Donald Trump just released a colossally bloated, ridiculously huge $4.7 trillion budget. Democrats and the Left – please pardon the redundancy – reacted as if it were a $1.7 trillion budget. ‘Dead on Arrival’: Democrats Dismiss Trump Budget Plan No matter how much government there is – the Democrat-Left remain a far-less-polite Oliver Twist. […]
One of the chimeras for which we eternally search in Washington, DC – is bipartisanship. We oft hear of the Good Old Days. When Democrats and Republicans would hammer out mutually agreeable legislation by day – and then have cocktails together by night. Of course, the DC definition of “bipartisanship” has long been: “Republicans forsake […]
The mid-1990s inception of the private sector Internet – has led to the greatest economic and lifestyle leap forward in the history of humanity. More than $1 trillion in private investment has taken us from 14K dial-up – to 1GB+ of speed. And hurtling ever upward. And the whole thing is about to take yet […]
The new wave of Democrats – with media darling New York Congressman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) in the lead – are fully Socialist. And even more Reality-and-math-challenged than their immediate Democrat predecessors. And that’s saying something. AOC is a Democrat Socialist. She says so. Newly re-minted Democrat House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is…a little crazy. And crazy […]
