A negotiation over the price of sea shells reveals that value is in the eye of the beholder and as a colleague brilliantly put it when comparing the US to India in general: It doesn’t convert and we can be both different and the same. “Be honest. How bad does it smell there?” The question… Continue reading It does not convert: A few reminisces and observations on my recent trip to India, part one
A trade deal with China, a lower than expected inflation number, and a higher than expected jobs report suggest the experts were wrong once again. As even The New York Times put it recently, “Recession Warnings Are Everywhere, Except in the Data.” Earlier this year, I opined that President Donald Trump’s critics were living in… Continue reading The trade war that didn’t happen has delayed the apocalypse
Senator Bernie Sanders prefers private jets to flying coach for the people and the heir to the Hyatt fortune is now a frontrunner in the new resistance while Democrats outraise and outspend their Republican counterparts from shady big donors. It seems some billionaires and associated luxuries are more equal than others. Last week, democratic socialist… Continue reading This revolution requires private jets and billionaire backers, apparently
Does anyone remember Elon Musk’s supposed Nazi salute? Or when planes were supposedly falling out of they sky in other countries because of President Trump?

Then as now, progressives responded by claiming he sucked all along. As a conservative, I have long resigned myself to the reality that the great majority of my artistic and… Continue reading J.K. Rowling isn’t the first artist to be targeted for a lack of ideological purity
In January, our family welcomed a new arrival, a whippet named Carlitos rescued from China, but less than three months later, our beloved greyhound Rosie suffered the tragic loss of her leg, leading me to conclude that many times dogs fare better than humans. Neither my wife or I are morning people, but our new… Continue reading Life lessons from a Chinese whippet and a three-legged greyhound
The great majority of what Democrats claim today, the issues they suddenly consider of the utmost importance, were either ignored or outright lied about throughout recent history beginning with the mental capabilities of President Biden himself, what we might consider the original sin from which all loss of credibility flows. While the opposition party opposes… Continue reading Why Democrats and progressives can’t be taken seriously under any circumstances
Whether you have heard of Caenorhabditis elegans, your own body and mind work much the same way. Essentially, your brain is C elegans’ times 331,125,828 or so, having neurons that look both inward and outward, reflecting even upon themselves over and over and over again. I am one of those neurons. I am a neuron… Continue reading I am a neuron in the human brain, almost the same as that found in a lowly roundworm
Why is Jerome Powell talking about keeping interest rates high in the face of a potentially slowing economy when he’s spent the last three years trying to slow the economy to fight inflation? “We may find ourselves in the challenging scenario in which our dual-mandate goals are in tension,” Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell said… Continue reading The Federal Reserve is a fraud that doesn’t seem to know what inflation actually is
