It’s always helpful when advocates for ever larger government remind us of how utterly unnecessary bigger government – and its advocates – actually are. We just saw – and will soon see again – a percentage of the federal government’s approximately 850,000 “non-essential personnel” get furloughed due to a government shutdown. I don’t call them […]
President Donald Trump has been working towards less government in as many trade deals as he can (re)negotiate. Florida Republican Congressman Ted Yoho and his bipartisan compatriots remind us Trump’s Zero-Zero-Zero trade policy – zero tariffs, zero import limits and zero subsidies – is just as excellent for traded commodities as it is for traded […]
American colleges have for decades now been ongoing, rolling disaster areas. They are Leftist claptrap outfits that take mind-numbed victims of calamitous government primary and secondary education – and radicalize them to join the fight to end Western Civilization. Conservative vanguard William F. Buckley wrote about his atrocious experience at Yale – in the early […]
The government has spent the last half century-plus – in as many ways as is bureaucratically possible – picking winners and losers of its implemented policies. Are you a member of this or that government-preferred group? Government grants you lavish favors. Are you a member of this or that government un-preferred group? Government dumps all […]
We are for less government – not no government. I was once on television absurdly accused of wanting the US to be like Wild West-esque Somalia. Not at all. The federal government is this year spending a grotesquely obscene $4.4 trillion. I’d like us to be somewhere between a grotesquely obscene $4.4 trillion – and […]
So much of the “news” “reporting” – and the thinking of ‘The Smart People’ – on agriculture here in the US has a similar pall cast upon it. These Swamp Creatures allege President Donald Trump has been atrocious to – and for – our farmers. They then – in shocked and stunned fashion – again […]
One of the more interesting aspects of the Internet revolution and evolution – has been tracking average Americans’ learning curve on what actually makes the Internet work. Your data – is mostly what makes the Internet work. The old saw is: “If something on the Internet is ‘free’ – you’re the product.” Which means: Internet […]
We are in the Age of Donald Trump. Which means we are saddled with a small but pernicious cabal known as Never Trump. Never Trumpers are for the most part not Leftists. Leftists have been Never <Fill in Name of Non-Leftist> – forever. Never Trumpers are almost every elected Republican – in DC, and much […]
“The Smart People” have been oh-so-wrong about oh-so-many things regarding Candidate cum President Donald Trump. It is particularly interesting to examine just how wrong The Smart People have been about President Trump’s trade policies. Because it is via his trade policies – that oh-so-many of the Smart People’s dumbnesses have come to further light. Trump […]
Everyone wants everything to be better, stronger, faster – and cheaper. It’s human nature. When we’re spending our money – we always want a better deal. When we’re spending other peoples’ money – we don’t give a rat’s rear end about a better deal. Price is no option – when we’re not paying the price. […]
