A few highlights from the UN. There’s a lot more … Read more
Like most of what the government tries to do, the goal is never what you see on the surface. The patina is meant to suggest compassion, but at the end of the day, the government’s role has become a question of how it survives on a dwindling resource (you or your labor). It robs you … Read more

Milton burned out fast after a CAT 3 landing (Sorry, climateers – no Cat 6 superstorm), making a mess, but that’s what hurricanes do, and a lot less often than … Read more
The socialists in the UK National Health Service keep lots of data. They do research. That doesn’t make up for the long wait times that may exceed the window for required care or the outcomes; they do collect the data.

While that line is from John Wick Chapter 2 (which is one of the very few movie series that I’ll sit and watch over and over again – I generally don’t “do” movies EVER), I think that is the longer version of the Jewish rally cry of “Never again!” The Jewish nation will never accede … Read more
