‘Dear Democrats and Progressives …’
In response to Kevin Ellis’s commentary (“An open letter from Kevin Ellis – ‘Dear Republicans…’,” VTD, May 9), below is a mostly mirror image to his commentary. I know you are nervous. You see it slipping away. That Great Society revolution you rode for nearly 60 years is almost gone.
TreeHugger Letting the Mask Drop – Are You a Subject or a Citizen? Part 2
Equality or Equity? This really is THE defining moment and point of the day. Normal Americans believe in the real history of how this Country was birthed and the Principles upon which we stand.
And Here We Are at Atlas Shrugged
The first time I read Atlas Shrugged (disclaimer: yes, you could cut a couple of hundred pages out of it and liven up a goodly part of it and it still would be impactful), DCE at Weekend Pundit said I’d need anti-depressants for the first 100 pages as it was at the beginning of Obama’s first term – and now at his third term, I don’t dare pick it up again.
Notable Quote – So, Progressive-Socialism is “Scientific”, eh?
Socialists (and assorted ilk) have always maintained that their ideas are “Scientifically” based. That all one has to do is follow their commands and we’d all have Heaven on earth.
Public School STEM Equity – The Left Continues Its Gentrification of Education
Economic leveling is an idea sold as making poor people more equal. What it does is make more Middle-Class people poor while the elite ruling class gets richer. At least one State Board of education has applied this thinking to math. They want to hold kids back so others will feel more equal.
Mike Lindell Announces eCommerce Competitor to Amazon – MyStore.com
When Davey Hogg announced that he would challenge Mike Lindell to a pillow fight, we said good for you, more or less. Competition benefits consumers. His tagline could be Make Pillows Cheap Again.
Notable Quote – The Case against Socialist Control of the Economy
There is therefore no ground for the pretence that in order to maintain equilibrium between production and demand, we must employ the foresight of an army of administrators and surveyors, whose duty it should be to prescribe what every produce should provide, and consequently how much each consumer should enjoy. Inhabitants of our metropolis see … Read more
They Don’t Even Have to Pretend Anymore
It’s one thing to hear outsiders making claims about conspiracies among political insiders to use the COVID panic to implement power grabs in areas having nothing to do with public health.
They’re just conspiracy nuts, right?
They Could Be Twins: Comparing the Current Rise of the American Left With the Rise of the Nazis in Germany
We’ve spent no small amount of time pointing out how the left is fascist and as required, they are projecting that on their political opponents (enemies). But Steve McCann at American Thinker went one better. He has a point-by-point comparison that should not surprise anyone but a Registered Democrat.
Notable Quote – No, Government was never supposed to be “entrepreneurial” by design
Do you remember how bad the Obama Administration was at being a “green Venture Capitalist” (think: Solyndra)?
It’s The One-Year Anniversary of the Founding of Lockdownistan!
Welcome to the first anniversary of the end of the free world. In March of 2020, this is the day that the World Health Organization declared the Wuhan Flu (you could call it that back then) a global pandemic.
Who Wants President Biden to Cancel Rent and Mortgage Payments?
My email address has been traveled about so much that I get all kinds of emails from Democrat, Progressive, and Socialist groups. This one is from another Taker’s Political Party which believes that what is not theirs IS theirs – as in, “taking” of your private property for their priorities.
Data Point – 75% of Likely Voters Prefer Capitalism to Socialism
Being so immersed in what the Left believes, sometimes it’s hard to keep perspective on things. For this, WHEW! Reformatted, emphasis mine: A new poll by The Heartland Institute and Rasmussen Reports finds that a vast majority of likely voters prefer a free-market economic system over a socialist economic system. When asked on December 6-7, “Which … Read more
Violence in DC: Momentary Flash, or Ignition Point?
Before I begin, let me state – understanding that there is no form of communication so perfect it cannot be misunderstood or distorted – that nobody sane wants a civil war. People die in civil wars.
ICYMI – Cambridge MA Put Big Yellow Climate Change Warning Stickers on All Their Gas Pumps
Twenty-Twenty wasn’t a bad year; people made it that way. People, letting people if you catch my drift. Mostly left-wingers regardless of the side from which they were winging it. And while most of the attention went to viruses from China (Flu and Election), there were other stories to tell.
“In his own self-interest”; Capitalism encourages altruism
It may be the most common criticism of free enterprise, the economic system that has produced more wealth spread across by far the widest portion of people in all of human history: It’s all based on selfishness and greed.
UK: Unconscious-Bias Training Doesn’t Work
England is a very #woke nation. They tend to be all-in on the post-modern morass of BS. But they’ve just taken a step back from this circus of nonsense. Unconscious bias training will no longer be required for civil servants because they say it doesn’t work.
Submission, Conversion, or War!
In Robert Spencer’s The History of Jihad, you find that across time (from Muhammad to ISIS, as the subtitle goes), just about every interaction with Islam can be reduced to one simple phrase. Submission, Conversion, or war.
Defense of Free Markets
There has been way too little defense of free markets. There are many ways in which business elevates humanity. Capitalism is based on doing things for others, things others find value in. Innovation and value creation are inherent in free-market capitalism.
