My last actual gig prior to venturing out and founding Less Government – was at the Media Research Center (MRC). I described MRCs toil as: “We work to expose and catalogue Leftist media bias.” And then always added “We’re understaffed.” But I have always held what I know was a minority perspective at the MRC.

Most of the world is neither a friendly nor appreciative place. No matter what we in the United States do to help the rest of the planet – no matter how much for how many countries – we only continue to be hated and reviled. A lot of it is not our fault. Because human […]
Translucent Massachusetts Democrat Senator Elizabeth Warren dined out for decades and made millions of dollars – lying about being an American Indian. Lyingly laying claim to much more melanin than she actually possesses – is but one of many, many awful things to which Warren has dedicated much of her life. Warren is almost certainly […]
The average American understandably thinks political and policy debates are conducted – in the interest of America’s best interest. “Surely everyone involved in government wants what’s best for the country. They just disagree on what policies will get us there.” Most unfortunately, this isn’t the case – for the Left. Leftists – do not like […]
The Left is really confused. They spend lots and LOTS of time accusing the Right – of things the Left does. Often of things only the Left does. Often of things that are antithetical to being Right – so the Right would never, ever do them. Or perhaps the addled Left is engaged in Psychological […]
“Human nature” – actually applies to way more than just humans. Gazelles – like to consume vegetables. It’s their nature. Cheetahs – like to consume meat. It’s their nature. Governments – like to consume constituents. It’s their nature. Seventh century B.C. Greece’s philosopher Aesop – understood it way back when. Timeless wisdom – is timeless […]
Technology entrepreneur and angel investor Peter Thiel – is a Big Tech anomaly. Thiel was a co-founder of what became mammoth online payment company PayPal. He struck it really rich when they sold PayPal to eBay for $1.5 billion in 2002. Thiel took that coin and started Clarium Capital – an investment management and hedge […]
Too many local governments look at their business permitting processes – as opportunities to gouge the companies simply trying to provide goods and services to the people who live there. This is certainly the case with companies that provide Internet access. As we diligently work to ensure everyone in America is connected – and win […]
Federalism is too infrequently mentioned. And when it does come up – it is woefully misrepresented and abused. Let’s check with our old friend Merriam Webster: “The distribution of power in an organization (such as a government) between a central authority and the constituent units.” Our Constitution is fully imbued with decentralized federalism. The Founding […]
The globalism debate – finally arrived in DC in or about 2015. After percolating for decades in what DC considers America’s hinterlands – which is the vast expanse of America between its coasts. Globalism – per the dictionary: “The development of social, cultural, technological, or economic networks that transcend national boundaries; globalization.” Globalism per DC: […]
