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

Democrats are officially the party of chaos and contempt for democracy
It’s common for political prognosticators, pundits, and amateurs like myself to rely on historical analogs to explain current events and provide some insight into how the future might unfold, but here, after a sitting President has withdrawn himself as candidate a full month after the primary process has been completed, we have none, because nothing… Continue reading Democrats are officially the party of chaos and contempt for democracy
Is the endless blather about the big debate between Biden and Trump a classic much ado about nothing?
Every four years, political prognosticators bleed an ocean of digital ink in the lead up to the election cycle’s much ballyhooed presidential debates, only to tell us afterwards that none of it mattered in any event, nor do such things usually matter. Will this time be different? Every four years, political prognosticators bleed an ocean… Continue reading Is the endless blather about the big debate between Biden and Trump a classic much ado about nothing?
About that “stubbornly high” inflation
The experts shouldn’t be surprised that inflation doesn’t fall in a straight line in a relatively short period as they’ve been claiming. The historical record over the past 800 years is clear: Inflation can take decades, as in tens of years, to revert to the norm.

Ranking presidential “greatness” and the intellectual bankruptcy of the academic establishment
Academics would have us believe that Joe Biden – who was recently deemed mentally incompetent by his own Justice Department – has made a better president than the likes of Ronald Reagan, Ulysses S. Grant, and James Monroe, not to mention Andrew freaking Jackson? Late last year, the “2024 Presidential Greatness Project Expert Survey” was… Continue reading Ranking presidential “greatness” and the intellectual bankruptcy of the academic establishment
Nuclear Fusion: Meet the world’s first fuel crisis before the reactor is even invented
After decades of research, nuclear fusion is poised for a breakthrough that promises to solve Earth’s energy problems forever, but some experts are already claiming we have run out of important fuel source before the reactors are even online. Thomas Malthus first proposed the modern concept of scarcity in 1798. He has been proven wrong… Continue reading Nuclear Fusion: Meet the world’s first fuel crisis before the reactor is even invented
Is it time to reconsider the US ban on assassinations?
It’s an intentionally provocative question, but one that should be asked in a world when there are no good or guaranteed options to prevent bad actors like Vladimir Putin from invading neighboring countries, committing war crimes, causing untold bloodshed, and disrupting the entire globe. If we could go back in time, what would you do… Continue reading Is it time to reconsider the US ban on assassinations?
Are “stolen” elections the new normal?
This is the third (or maybe even fourth) election out of the last six with claims of fraud, subterfuge, and even foreign vote tampering I understand the urge for Democrats to insist Republicans accept the results of the 2020 election and move on. If the roles were reversed, I’d surely be singing the same tune,… Continue reading Are “stolen” elections the new normal?
