That’s not a massive over-contribution at all. We’ve oft written about huge companies using their huge wallets – to dictate huge cronyism from huge governments. No gaggle of companies has done it more and more effectively – than the Big Tech companies. Silicon Valley Robber Barons Are Using Government As a Weapon Against Us Silicon […]
The National Basketball Association (NBA)’s ongoing, rolling self-emasculation continues apace and unabated. One League Guy called for freedom in Hong Kong from Communist China’s totalitarianism. And the League flashed into action – against the one League Guy. Since, a thousand and one League Guys have groveled, prostrated, genuflected or simply played really, REALLY stupid in […]
The answer to everything even remotely policy-related – is less government. Because the original sin of everything even remotely policy-related – is too much government. Want to solve our health care “crisis” – ??? Undo the original government sins. After World War II – taxes were kept at during-WW II levels. So in an end […]
Barack Obama spent his first two years as President – enjoying a Democrat-controlled Congress that was as awful for America as he was. The Democrat Congress passed a lot of really awful legislation – which Obama very happily signed. We the People loathed said legislation. So We incepted the Tea Party Movement – and elected […]
Behold the 21st Century’s diet version of an “international incident”: Could a Tweet Sink the (National Basketball Association) NBA’s Business Relationships in China?

President Donald Trump early Monday morning Tweeted: “We just WON the big court case on Net Neutrality Rules! A great win for the future and speed of the internet. Will lead to many big things including 5G. Congratulations to the FCC and its Chairman, Ajit Pai!” All of which is absolutely correct. The US Court […]
One of the very many national course corrections President Donald Trump is making – is renegotiating REALLY-bad-for-US global trade deals. We have been the planet’s largest economy for more than half a century. Our current Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is $19.4 trillion. And our trade deals – look like we have the purchasing power of […]
The spark of creation – is truly a gift from God. The ability to use one’s mind to bring forward something from nothing – literally gets us about as close to our Creator as can be expected on this planet. While I know not everyone ascribes an other-worldly power to creation – I know others […]
One of the largest, ongoing, rolling government scams? Using taxpayer money to fund “research” – so as to generate “studies.” And governments spend a LOT of our money – on “research” to generate “studies.” Who Pays for Science?: “Today, we all do. Most scientific research is funded by government grants….” And he who pays the […]
When I initially wrote this headline – I had written “THE Nuisance….” It, of course, immediately thereafter occurred to me – that there are hundreds (thousands?) of such agencies, boards, bureaus, commissions and departments. So I went with “YET ANOTHER Nuisance….” The Deep State…is REALLY deep. Filled with hundreds (thousands?) of agencies. Populated by millions […]
