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 […]
The Left is the world’s worst choir. Singing dissonantly if not concordantly about how good things are – no matter how bad things are. And, conversely, about how bad things are – no matter how good things are. There are no circumstances in which the Left finds itself – where they are averse to lying […]
The world of politics – and political thought – is inhabited by many different subcultures. There is a broad Left-Right divide right down the middle of PoliticsLand – and there are more than a few encampments that straddle this border. Libertarianism is an…interesting such subculture. Planted firmly on the border – with plenty hanging over […]
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 […]
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 […]
One of the very many impediments to getting less government in DC – is inertia. The Deep State – is very, very real. And is filled to overflowing with bureaucrats who want to at the very least maintain the bloated status quo – when not growing government wherever and whenever they can. So when a […]
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 […]
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 […]
The United States has spent the last decade-plus being extraordinarily stupid when it comes to the protection of Intellectual Property (IP). By that we mean – we have time and again undermined even the most basic IP protections. Leaving the people who create the things upon which our Information Economy – twisting in the wind. […]
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 […]
