Confessions of a Conservative Atheist
The world’s only one man media empire
Progressives ignored high prices for years, mocked those who worried about inflation, and for decades have waged a war on consumerism, but suddenly, we’re supposed to believe the American Dream is measured in cheap plastic dolls. Over the past several weeks, President Donald Trump has been heavily criticized from the left and some on the… Continue reading Trump, the affordability scam, and the truth that we buy too much junk
As a general rule, at least some policies are going to have a neutral impact if only because they are ineffective, not everything is going to be illegal or unconstitutional, and the worst possible political and other outcome isn’t going to happen in every situation. While it’s traditional for the opposition party to oppose, I… Continue reading The Orange Man Bad Theory of Everything
Partisans can and will spin any argument they want, but the question is which ones the people in the middle actually respond to and the Republicans currently lead Democrats on the vast majority of issues. While it has long been said conservatives and progressives live in two different worlds, the real question is which reality… Continue reading Progressives’ delusions are increasingly at odds with voters’ reality
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
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
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
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
Though it’s traditional that an incoming President has six months if not a full year before the economy can be considered their responsibility, Trump was barely provided a week and even worse, some claim he should be held accountable for what hasn’t happened yet and might never happen. The criticisms of President Donald Trump are… Continue reading Trump’s critics are livin’ in the future on tariffs and everything else, imagining calamities that haven’t happened yet and might never
In the real world, everyone instinctively knows this is impossible, that you cannot subsidize your way to rich, all while embracing the Toyota and Timex equivalent. Why? To the extent Vice President Kamala Harris has an economic policy, it can perhaps best be summarized as a continuation of President Joe Biden’s subsidize everything approach, where… Continue reading A Ferrari in every driveway and a Rolex on every wrist
In a wise strategic decision for both campaigns, Governor Walz focused almost exclusively on former President Trump’s unfitness for office and Senator Vance presented a calm, compelling, and rational case for President Trump without the usual bombast. Much has been made of the fact that Tuesday’s Vice Presidential debate between Senator JD Vance and Governor… Continue reading A civil debate, but not for the reasons many think
