Get this latest raft of dumbness from The New York Times…. Want Vaccines Fast? Suspend Intellectual Property Rights: “Otherwise, there won’t be enough shots to go around, even in rich countries.” The vaccines in question are, of course, for the China Virus. I personally won’t be partaking – for the same reason I never get […]
“What is past is prologue” — William Shakespeare, The Tempest The Barack Obama-Joe Biden Administration was exceedingly awful in ways too exceeding to innumerate. Which is why successor President Donald Trump’s three year pre-China Virus Lockdown turnaround to perhaps the greatest economy in American history was so exceedingly impressive. One is left to wonder: What […]
Donald Trump ran for the presidency promising to “Drain the Swamp.” We the People liked the pledge. So we elected him. President Trump has acknowledged that the Swamp is much deeper – and its Creatures much nastier – than he anticipated. Which is an understandable underestimation. I was born and raised in a proximate Swamp […]
The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) – is yet another one of those Executive Branch joints the Legislative Branch set up to be “independent.” Which is, of course, unconstitutional. The Constitution establishes three branches of government – Executive, Legislative and Judicial. You can’t create an “independent” fourth branch – unless and until you amend our founding […]
There’s a line – a sentiment, actually – that governments everywhere really need to take to heart. “Don’t just do something – stand there.” Of course they won’t – because they’re governments. But it would be a lot cooler if they did. Why do we want them standing there – rather than doing something? Because […]
The Donald Trump Administration inherited a LOT of accrued crap with which to deal. Our federal government was for the last half-century-plus run by a Democrat-Republican Uni-Party. Both alleged Parties spent decades paying lip service to great chasms of difference between their respective policy prescriptions. But both alleged Parties secretly agreed on just about everything. […]
In this Age of Idiocy, let us revel in a moment of sanity. Unanimously delivered to us by – are you sitting down? – the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. Appeals Court Throws Out Antitrust Ruling In the world of judges and Justices – this is exceedingly embarrassing: “A three-judge panel of the U.S. Court […]
There are very few things in life more annoying than someone who is at once condescending and wrong. Included therein are people who pretend they are helping us – while they’re screwing us. Or even worse: They know we know they’re screwing us – and they continue to pretend they’re helping us while they screw […]
And that means the government participating – where it ordinarily should not. We less government types are loathe to see government do anything on anything of a private sector, commercial nature. The private sector does just fine all by itself, thank you. In fact, it does better and better the less government involves itself. Where […]
Very few people dislike Communist China as much as do I. At least amongst those who haven’t had first-hand experience with its utter brutality. Communism is antithetical to human nature. Thus – Communism is anti-human. Which is why Communism spent the 20th Century murdering 100 million people. Because Communists won’t admit Communism and humanity are […]
