There has been so much talk in the last few weeks, and it appears that there are only two schools of economics, and they have very different views on the impact on the economy. The ironic fact is that both parties use tariffs, including Biden/Harris, but the mainstream media only wants to go after Trump … Read more
Being a lousy sleeper allows me to scan the nightly shows in the early hours, but sometimes, that can give you a bad start to the day. I use YouTube TV, and it usually starts by default with MSNBC programming. I typically switch quickly to FOXNews or Four-square News, but I heard Rachel Maddow make … Read more
A nullity” and “we declare these acts void“ This was the bold conclusion about British Acts that Thomas Jefferson came to in his powerful 1774 pamphlet, A Summary View of the Rights of British America. Written nearly two years before the Declaration of Independence, it foreshadowed ideas Jefferson would later develop further. He asserted several fundamental principles that … Read more
Attorneys for The Rutherford Institute have asked the Third Circuit Court of Appeals to reverse the U.S. District Court’s ruling in Murphy v. Delaware, Justices of the Peace, which dismissed the lawsuit and granted quasi-judicial immunity to constables who knowingly evicted the wrong person—a blind man—and left him homeless with his daughters during a snowstorm. On appeal, Institute attorneys argue … Read more
This month Kamala Harris emerged from her vice-presidential hidey hole to speak to the media. Her blitz included interviews on The View, CBS’s 60 Minutes, and Howard Stern, as well as the sex podcast, “Call Her Daddy.” (Yes, really.) For Republicans tuning in, the vice president’s performances didn’t surprise. She bumbled. She pursed her lips. She avoided specifics, … Read more
Is anyone trying to stop women from having babies, from getting care for their pregnancies and babies, or from getting emergency care? No. The proclaimed “Reproductive rights” is used to divert attention from the harm that Democrat policies do, especially to women. About 20,000 women and even more men are killed annually by fentanyl and … Read more
Originally, the Constitution specified that the candidate for President who got the most electoral votes would be President, and the runner up would be Vice President. This was changed by the 12th Amendment, after which the states voted for the two offices together. Like the 17th Amendment, this removed one of the crucial checks and … Read more
Those “Got Covid, Paxlovid” commercials that began carpet-bombing your airwaves (after the “pandemic of the unvaccinated” lie was no longer sustainable) promised symptom relief. If that PCR test that was not designed for it showed positive (they insisted it had to be COVID), Pfizer had a thing you could take that could reduce symptoms and … Read more
In Against the State, Lew Rockwell explains how the constant expansion of state power is often justified as a necessary means of achieving the dreams and visions of voters. In its relentless pursuit of power, the state has a strong incentive to focus on the problems that are likely to resonate most deeply with voters and, … Read more
Joanne Jacobs recently published an article titled, “Georgetown students ‘have trouble staying focused on even a sonnet.’ Jacobs mentions how an article from the Atlantic reported that: “Many students no longer arrive at college — even at highly selective, elite colleges — prepared to read books,” writes Rose Horowitch in The Atlantic. Students tell professors … Read more
If you are thinking about pursuing healthcare jobs in California, you will need a high tolerance for rules, regulations, car theft, taxes, sidewalk poop, tyrannical bureaucracies, the homeless, crime, discarded needles, and screeching liberal harpies. Oh, and hunger-like affection for carcinogens, hypoxia, and microplastics. Public Health officials in several Left-Coast counties have reinstituted mask mandate, … Read more
I may have said it before, but it deserves to be repeated. JD Vance was a perfect choice for Donald Trump as his running mate. Both men are brilliant but very different in their communication styles. Trump is brash and speaks his mind with no filter. Vance needs no filter. He is quick on his … Read more
Someone in the Walz wing of the Harris campaign made a decision nearly every revolutionary communist campaign makes in America (‘cuz ‘Merica). We need our commie to look like the people he intends to rule. Send him out hunting. The rubes won’t know any better. ‘Cept the rubes do. And if we’re honest, the hunting … Read more
There were many ‘casualties’ after the Wu Han Flu over the cuckoo’s nest (do you think the socials will break that bit of code?), not the least of which were First Amendment Rights enumerated as natural and inviolable in the US Constitution. Association and assembly under the bus, followed by any opinions, messaging, evidence, precedent, … Read more
A recent federal court decision prohibited the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) from regulating pollution based on skin color. Viewed as a blow to “environmental justice” initiatives, the Louisiana decision hinged on an important distinction between government policies created with racist intent versus those that result in racially disparate impacts. The ruling may influence future regulatory action, raising important … Read more
If Democrats are the Party of Inclusion, why do they have an obsession with Identity Politics? I find it incredibly ironic that the Democrats are nothing more than a collection of boxes, and if you do not fit into a particular one, they will create a new one for you. If you need proof of … Read more
In Bill O’Reilly’s book “Confronting The Presidents,” Bill tells us FDR could have cared less who his Vice President was. Of course, at the time, FDR was nearly on his deathbed, and his Vice-President, whom he met once or twice, was Harry S. Truman, the man who decided to drop the Atom Bomb on Japan … Read more
One of my favorite programs on FOX News is The Five. The Five started in July 2011 as a temporary filler, and thirteen years later, it continues to be one of the highest-rated cable shows. I have never missed a show and have had to tolerate many different liberals who have sat in the #4 … Read more
The absurdity of liberal privilege continues to run amuck. No, not the jet-setting, globe-hopping, carbon-emitting elites who leap continents in a single bound to deny you affordable, reliable (safe) transportation at home. It isn’t Tech Goons like Eric Schmidt or Bill Gates who argue that the gigatons of emissions necessary to run AI are essential … Read more
During Hurricane Helene’s devastation from Asheville, NC, a mom interviewed on TV tearfully expressed how proud she was of the courage of her 7-year-old son, Micah. Meghan Drye shared Micah’s final words while drowning with his two grandparents. Instead of crying out in fear, Micah called out, “Jesus save me!” There’s a lesson in this … Read more
