Democrats in and out of the media want to bail out newsrooms. The progressives can’t seem to move on. Newspapers are dying, but the people obsessed with Forward keep looking back. Longingly. Pining for a publicly funded propaganda machine (NPR just isn’t enough). Yearning for someone to bail out their mouthpieces. Millions have been dumped … Read more
Can the average American, the one who wants to get a good education, get a good job, raise a family in a safe neighborhood, and pass along a better America to their children, ever feel like they have a say in their future?

Whether you call them elites, the ruling class, Globalists, the political class, or just an appropriately derogatory euphemism (that place where the feces come out, as an example), they all share a common Marxist thread—naming things what they are not. Men aren’t women. Diversity and inclusion offices divide and exclude. The Inflation Reduction Act worsened … Read more
By Jane L Johnson | Mises Wire – No American politician running for office wants to talk about taxes—unless, of course, it’s to promise a tax cut. No Misesian views taxes with anything but suspicion, and Mises himself held some principled views on taxes: Taxes are necessary. But the system of discriminatory taxation universally accepted under the misleading … Read more
By Daniel Lacalle | Mises Wire – Price controls, higher taxes, government intervention, and subsidies paid for by printing a constantly devalued currency.

These are also the main elements of the economic plan presented by Kamala Harris and the Democratic … Read more
It is no secret that Elon Musk is packing his California bags and moving to Texas.

Last month, Musk, who bought Twitter in 2022, announced … Read more
Democrats want us to believe that systemic racism is prevalent in every nook and cranny and every age group in America.

Blaming conservatives for being racist is their favorite line of attack, regardless of ethnic nationality or economic … Read more
By Logan Churchwell | Daily Caller – Money always finds a way. In the years following the 2020 election, dozens of states managed to ban private funding of elections. But even though Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg has repeatedly promised not to pour more of his money into your local election office, this year, the “Zuckbucks” team is recommitted to … Read more
George Washington tried to warn us in his 1796 Farewell Address about “the baneful effects of the Spirit of Party.” His warning concerned the Founder’s caution against our potential human frailties. This can be further realized by the restrictive style that composed our Constitution. Washington’s “baneful effects” were on full display within the democrat’s recent … Read more
By Wanjiru Njoya | Mises Wire – In A Cure Worse Than The Disease: Fighting Discrimination Through Government Control, M. Lester O’Shea criticizes the notion that we should legislate against unfairness. He poses the question as follows: “No one defends unfairness. So shouldn’t it be against the law?” In posing the question that way, his point … Read more
The latest corporate victim of online harassment is Harley Davidson. They’d gone woke you see, and much like Tractor Supply or John Deere before them, have earned some social media cross hairs. Robby Starbuck unearthed the evidence and set the internet after them and it appears to have worded again. In a statement released Monday, the … Read more
As a parental rights advocate focused on education, I hear many parents say, “Why don’t teachers speak out more?” I tell them, it’s because if they do, they will be punished one way or another. That’s exactly what happened to Martia Holloway. She explained in one of her online videos that the district administrators were … Read more
By Wanjiru Njoya | Mises Wire – In Race & Economics, Walter Williams emphasizes the importance of causality in understanding racial inequality.

Without understanding the causes of any perceived problem, any attempts to resolve … Read more
Electric vehicles aren’t going away just yet, but the industry has been having a rough year.

The company said it won’t build fully electric three-row SUVs due to battery costs. … Read more
The Kamala Harris acceptance speech at the DNC was challenging and infuriating to watch. This speech on the convention’s closing night was the latest step in the coup that brought Kamala Harris from the least popular vice president of all time to the savior of democracy in six short, mind-bending weeks. As we still await … Read more
In a strange twist of fate, two lifelong Democrats joined forces as Republicans to save Democracy by taking down the twisted Democrat, Kamala Harris. The 2024 presidential election has already been one of our most bizarre, if not unAmerican, elections. Still, on Friday, the Democrats may have gotten the punishment they deserved for their actions. … Read more
By Marc Abear – We all know the utterances of the MSM are utterly without value. For the last month, they’ve reported only, “Joy, joy, joy, oh happy joy…” Yeah, that’s bull. We all now know it. It’s ridiculous watching Harris dressing up as Aunt Jemima to pander to blacks. It’s about a half step … Read more

Kennedy Jr. endorsed Republican nominee Donald Trump on Friday, a major development that could shift momentum in the increasingly tight fight for the White House. During a … Read more
By Gage Klipper | Daily Caller – Throughout the Democratic National Convention, Democrats made a big show out of being “normal,” of standing for “freedom” and traditional, patriotic values.

Speculation has run rampant in recent days as to whether Bobby K Jr. and his VP Nicole (wealthy tech lib) Shanahan were ready to toss in with Trump, and it’s their fault.
