Just about nothing US infrastructure – has anything to do with DC. Federal ‘Infrastructure’? State-Local Government and Crony Bail Outs and Slush Funds: “(A) mere five percent of US infrastructure – roads, bridges, tunnels, etc. – actually belongs to the federal government: “‘The private sector owns 65% of it, including power stations, freight railways, pipelines, […]
Big Media is often stuck in its old narrative templates. One of the classics is its alleged defense of the Little People against Big Business. Except these days the biggest Big Businesses of all – are woke Big Tech companies. With whom Big Media are very snuggly fellow travelers. Big Media doesn’t scrutinize Big Tech. […]
To best understand what humans do and do not do – it is best to understand humans. Human nature is immutable. What was true of Romans in their ancient empire – is true of today’s Italians in their current Socialist squalor. What was true of Greeks in their ancient republic – is true of today’s […]
Much has been said and written about President Joe Biden’s Friday Executive Order. The fact that Biden thinks he can change policy via unilateral action imposed by fiat – affecting this much of our nation’s economy and life – is a lot of what is wrong with the government. The Biden Administration has dubbed it […]
We are in the months-long midst of the DC Democrats’ push to spend trillions of dollars we don’t have. And they are lyingly trying to get away with it – by tethering it all to the bipartisan sentiment that the federal government should spend money we don’t have on infrastructure.

To paraphrase George Santayana: “Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to look like idiots supporting politicians who are repeating it.” We immediately warned of a few things when Washington yet again began pretending their “infrastructure” bill had anything to do with actual infrastructure. We warned that government has time and again wasted HUGE […]
The dumbness continues. In October, this foretold the dumbness. The US Military Is About to Launch Its Largest 5G Experiments Yet: “The ‘at-scale’ tests could change defense networks, training, and logistics — and how Americans use the Internet.” This is the GOVERNMENT we’re talking about here. Creators of the Department of Motor Vehicles. And the […]
The perpetual pattern: Government gets a little involved in the private sector – and screws things up a little. Government then lies – and says the private sector screwed things up. Allegedly justifying the government getting more involved. Which screws things up more. Government then says the private sector screwed things up…. Lather, rinse, repeat…. […]
In 1961, on his way out the White House door, President Dwight Eisenhower gave his Farewell Address. Or what has come to be known as the “Military-Industrial Complex” speech.
