Monopoly Socialism

There’s a Socialism Version of Monopoly and Guess What? Leftists Don’t Like it

The folks at Hasbro have had some fun with the un-fun angry people on the left. Last year they introduced the Socialism version of Monopoly and the leftists, naturally, are offended.

GrokTALK! Reboot – The Podcast is Back!

We went bug hunting last night. Mike, and Skip, and I huddled into a Zoom meeting to test its potential as a podcasting platform. I think we can agree that this will work.

Small Farm v Big Government – Raw Milk Ice Cream

Earlier this month, on August 4th, Jill Fudala and her husband got a sternly written letter from the Department of Health and Human Services telling them that their sale of Raw Milk Ice Cream was illegal, and needed to stop immediately, or else they’d face fines of $500 per day, with $1,000 to start. Like … Read more

DISCUS Doodlings – “Totalitarian govt is not just one where police and soldiers overwatch with guns”

Reading that title, one should be thinking, at least, of North Korea.  China, as well.  Those of us who are older remember the Berlin Wall and the East German army and the Western Allies decades long standoff with thumbs ready to put their Safeties to off.  I also think of the Stasi, keeping tabs on … Read more

DISQUS Doodlings – Anti-Capitalist hoisted on own petard (has no answer for this Free Market blogger!)

I just love Treehugger – just like I love CongressTwits AOC, Tlaib, Omar and Pressley.  Just keep talking and talking, and talking some more.  Pretty soon, they all end up either going off the deep end or proving my points for me.  Either way, it is always a win-win-win for Free Market / Individual Liberty … Read more

Socialist Argentine History: Part 2 of 2

Socialism is present in many South American countries. Americans need to know the results of socialism. We need to understand how it has become imbedded. It is important to deal with the facts of a political system that has known and profound consequences. Let’s start with Argentina. Socialist Policy Results In the 1970’s inflation in … Read more

Be thankful for Capitalism’s Abundance and the Charity it allows

Kevin Williams has a very thoughtful piece on Capitalism for yesterday’s Day of Thanksgiving.  While not directly thanking God (which the Pilgrims did on that day back in 1623), he confronts the wave of Socialism that reared it’s ugly head on November 6 and does a nice job of defending it when most cannot stand … Read more

Another example: when illegal immigrants are fired, American workers get higher pay

We keep hearing that illegal immigrants are a “boon” to our economy – this example (like the meat packing plants of a few years ago) shows that American workers see a “boon” when illegal immigrants, working at lower wages, are removed from the workplace (reformatted, emphasis mine): A huge Chicago bakery is now hiring Americans … Read more

Heh!

(H/T: Powerline)

Jobs Americans WILL do when there are no immigrants around

Good things coming from our neighbors to our East in Maine – workers actually lobbying for a LOWER minimum wage because it is in their own self-interest (go read it as I’m not going to comment on it other than this line which I’ve blogged about in other areas where Governments that have sent the … Read more

California Schools Switch to ‘Climate Friendly’ Lunches

Oakland Schools have partnered with Social Justice Enviro Wacko Group Friends of the Earth (FOE) to promote the Green Agenda™ through the lunch menu. FOE gave kids a lunch menu designed to eliminate foods it says are “unsustainable for our planet.” The new menu features far less meat and more plant-based food. Any meat or cheese the … Read more

A Complete List of Things Caused by Global Warming

This is useful and entertaining. It includes links to things that the authors have claimed are a result of Global Warming or will be caused by it. There is also a dead links list below, that includes things caused by Global warming but for which the link is no longer active–but someone made the claim in print … Read more

All that crap we hear about energy conservation saving more than new energy sources?

Er, not so much.  Just like how the Government standards on saturated fats have just been dropped (e.g., meats, dairy, eggs) and now it seems that the low carb diet is now falling out of favor.  Yes, so much for settled science.  And again, we are seeing that in governmental policy that the best watt … Read more

He’s right – which is more important: being liked as a moderate or fighting like a Conservative (and winning)

Daniel Greenfield over at Frontpage Mag has his take on what ails the GOP.  Like Steve, like me, he sees what’s wrong and the inertia that stands in the way to start winning again.  A few excerpts (emphasis mine): If you don’t fight, you can’t win. That’s what the Party of Lincoln, a party that … Read more

New Hampshire House Votes to Raise Tobacco Taxes

The ten cent resolution, that one thin (not so thin) dime New Hampshire Republicans cut off the tobacco tax two years ago, expires shortly.   At the time it was proposed and passed the left was so insane with outrage that you’d have thought Republicans were selling guns to foreign drug lords across the border who were killing agents … Read more

Burger King UK Caught Horsing Around With the Beef in Their Burgers

After denying it for weeks Burger King in the UK has admitted that it did in fact sell burgers tainted with horse meat.  It’s supplier is responsible for the “blend” it seems but BK appears to have found out and handled it badly. The Horse meat came from Poland, was processed at a plant in … Read more

Environmentalists who love crony capitalism

Because they can’t stand seeing their fellow citizens ignoring their bleats of “You shouldn’t do that” in some cases (like, you know, use electricity to live a modern lifestyle, or be allowed to drive a car that can, like, you know, can actually hold all of your family members and the grocery bags needed to … Read more

New Hampshire Democrats Will Love This Idea

Democrats love rich people, when they are Democrats.  They take their money and give them taxpayer subsidized loans to prop up their failed business ventures.  They love working people, when they are in unions…baling out UAW workers at Car companies when you know that were it non-union Toyota or Honda–plants in America with American workers, … Read more

Stonyfield CEO In Line For Another Pile of Taxpayer Cash?

The question should not be if Stonyfield Dairy CEO and prolific Democrat donor Gary Hirshberg gets another pile of taxpayer cash, it should be “how much is he going to get?”
