The world’s only one man media empire
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
To combat climate change, there was almost no part of your life Democrats and their progressives allies didn’t want to disrupt, from the car you drive to the house you live in to the food you eat, but somehow, this was all good and great, the height of enlightened thinking and if you weren’t completely… Continue reading Reminder: Democrats have called for massive disruption for decades and can’t possibly be taken seriously now
While I’m the first to admit the tariff strategy might backfire and unintended consequences could abound, good economic news outside the stock market is almost everywhere, contrary to the predictions of the experts. Last week, the price of eggs made headlines once again when a report found they broke another record in March, contrary to… Continue reading Only one thing is certain, the media and the experts will keep lying to you repeatedly about the state of the economy and everything else
Those who are convinced we cannot make things in America anymore have conveniently forgotten the recent history of the pandemic, where we invented a new vaccine, produced hundreds of millions of doses along with hundreds of thousands of ventilators and millions of other medical devices in a few months. There are plenty of reasons… Continue reading Tariffs, our selective amnesia, and the total failure of American imagination
Somehow, progressives didn’t realize losing the Presidency would mean losing their influence over events, or for some even stranger reason, they were under the impression that the man they impeached twice, tried to jail and bankrupt, and called every evil name under the sun would be inclined to take their advice on important matters of… Continue reading Senator Cory Booker truly is Spartacus for our diminished times, not that he appears to know who Spartacus actually was
While you wouldn’t know it from the collective outrage visited upon us daily, between 2011 and 2013, total federal spending fell from $3.6 trillion to $3.45 trillion, but then as now, many predicted disasters that simply didn’t happen. As is so often the case in our increasingly absurdist times, the conventional wisdom holds that all… Continue reading Reminder: President Obama cut spending over 4% in 2012 and 2013, but the world didn’t end, despite claims we were heading over the cliff without brakes
None other than Harvard Law Review called for major reform to the exploding practice of nationwide injunctions less than a year ago, but now that Donald Trump has returned to office, everything has changed and district judges can apparently order the Chief Executive around like a fry cook... Last week, the mainstream media wasted an… Continue reading Not all courts or court orders are equal
For better or worse, one of the most significant cultural shifts since the counterculture revolution has been our collective tolerance of risk, and we should not tolerate any activity that violates the current societal norms around safety and public behavior. At the risk of stating the obvious typing away at a keyboard in front of… Continue reading The fine line between protests and terrorism in the era of safety and security
In a country where we tax everything, tariffs have been singled out as uniquely disastrous, but why, when any argument applied to tariffs in particular can be applied to taxes in general? There will always be a potential upside – more revenue raised and/or a change in behavior – and a downside, namely an increase… Continue reading The truth about tariffs, the only tax the establishment doesn’t like
It’s always about power and it’s never about America. Progressives, as ever, are more interested in defending those who hate us than supporting those who love us. “It was interesting yesterday I was watching a video of an interview of Elon Musk with someone where he said that the Italians should stay in Italy and… Continue reading Democrats want Elon Musk to go home, but an anti-American, pro-Palestinian protestor to stay
