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 […]
The World Trade Organization (WTO): “(I)s the only global international organization dealing with the rules of trade between nations.” As with nigh all global organizations – much of what the WTO does is unfairly tilted against the United States. (See also: The United Nations.) The WTOs anti-Americanism is oft embodied in how the organization gives […]
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 […]
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 […]
