“Capitalism can’t stop people from being racist but it makes them pay a price for it.” And if you don’t believe that quote, listen to the entire video for the context behind it. Are you listening, Black Lives Matter allies and adherents? This is VERY MUCH worth your time!

Big Government
Notable Quote – John Tierney
Higgs sees government, as usual, vastly expanding during the crisis, and he’s sure that it will not shrink back to its former scale once the crisis is over. It never does, as he famously documented in his 1987 book, Crisis and Leviathan: Critical Episodes in the Growth of American Government, and in later works exploring this … Read more
Our Current Unemployment Crisis is Not Organic – It is an Act of Admininstrative Force
All I hear about in economic news is the unemployment rate and how high it is. Surprise!
“Experts” discuss what will happen when we get back to normal. At least the experts admit we are not in normal times. Thank God for small admissions.
No Infections in the Maldives – Is That Because It’s Supposed to be “Underwater”?
Many of the people (they call them experts) that we’ve come to associate with climate prognostications have branched out into the virus predicting business. The media, politicians, “scientists” or “doctors” who appear on cable news. With the same success.
Notable Quotes – George Will
Note a contradiction in progressivism that has become steadily more severe in the century since [Woodrow] Wilson wrote. Progressivism has no objection to steady enlargement of the “conceptions of state duty.” Quite the contrary, such enlargement is the progressive agenda – the expansion of the central government’s supervision of society’s complexities. But as solicitous government permeates society … Read more
Blogline of the Day – Progressives think that Govt is MAGNIFICENT!
US Government-funded Android phones come preinstalled with unremovable malware. Words fail me so I’ll use that famous (and famously descriptive): “I’m here from the Govt and I’m here to help you” refrain.
No, I just expect that the tools I buy will actually work!
This is in response to DCE’s post over at Weekend Pundit:
I can get behind this idea. If Trump wants to lock in the votes from some of the cold weather states all he needs to do is do for gas cans what he’s doing for dishwashers.
Give, Don’t Govern
By John Stossel: Christmas Day 2019 –
This week, children may learn about that greedy man, Ebenezer Scrooge. Scrooge is selfish until ghosts scare him into thinking about others’ well-being, not just his own.
So what will YOU tell your children and grandchildren on how you protected their freedom?
From modernity to the 1700s. From Prosperity to poverty. From Freedom to Government restricting you in every aspect of your lives. The Bigger the Government, the smaller the citizen. Giving thanks for a Government that makes a mockery of “The Land of the Free”? (H/T: Powerline)
Why I’m Not A Socialist
Recently, Senator Jeanne Dietsch wrote an article about how she isn’t a libertarian (her voting record already let us know that). Her first thought is that libertarian is bad because it was responsible for slavery. I think we need to back up and explain to Senator Dietsch what a traditional libertarian might mean. Foremost, it … Read more
Medicare For All Would Wipe Out Every US Billionaire’s Total net Worth in Just 3 years
Big giveaways sound nice. And blaming the rich works for the left as well. But reality has a harsher tale to tell – like the low-end estimate for the cost of Bernie’s Medicare for all plan. It would erase the net wealth of every US Billionaire in just three years.
Green New Deal Would Add $70,000.00 Per Year Per New Hampshire Household in New Expenses
A new report drills down into the real cost of the Democrat’s Green New Deal (GND) in five US swing states. New Hampshire is one of those states, and the bottom line is, you can’t afford it.
DHHS Targets ANOTHER Small Farm for Raw Milk Product
Another small farmer in New Hampshire has been warned by the Department of Health and Human Services that they better stop selling raw milk products, lest they face $500 fines per day. This is the second time just this month that such a letter has been received by a small farmer, just trying to make … 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

The partners include: MasterCard Inc., PayPal Holdings Inc., and Uber Technologies Inc.; among others. The new partnership will form under the name Libra Association.

Notable Quote – George Will
It is, however, an iron law: The more government does to influence the flow of money, the more money will be spent to influence elections. -George Will ( The Conservative Sensibility) (H/T: Cafe Hayek) As Government controls more resources and takes/spends more money, the stakes keep increasing. The lure to control that money flow is irresistible … Read more
Barry Promised to Stop the Seas from Rising – Biden Says He’ll Cure Cancer
Barry Obama famously noted that he’d stop the seas from rising. An easy promise to keep. At 2-3mm a year, no one had noticed much change over 100 years, so 4-8 more years and another few were no big deal. Not to be outdone his VP, now a candidate for the Dem nomination, says, “Hey. I’ll cure cancer.”
Blogline of the Day – Yes, Government knows EXACTLY what it is doing
Registered sex offenders in NY got Medicaid money for erectile dysfunction Or, at least that is what Statist / Socialist / Progressives keep telling me. TRUST us, we know what we’re doing! Yeah, right. (H/T: NY Daily News)
There is no Choice Movement on the Left for the Turgid Belly of Government.
There’s an inherent falsehood to the phrase “If you want less of something tax it.” While accurate concerning human behavior, it is inverted in relation to Democrat behavior. The left never raises a tax to get less. They do it to get more.
