While everyone is caught up in nonexistent Russian collusion, high-level government leaks to the media, and palace intrigue, I thought it would be a good time give you some relief and focus on something longer term but much more substantive — the need to repeal the 26th Amendment, which gives 18 year old children the […]

I cannot tell you how excited I was when Cryin’ Chuck and Granny Nancy presented the Democrats’ brand-spanking new “Better Deal” (technically titled The Better Deal). They should have called it the New Deal, Part II, because it’s the same old, tired progressive policies that have transformed the United States into a semi-socialist country (on […]

At the extreme edges (Freedom Caucus on the right, Bernie Sanders on the left), what the fractures in the Republican and Democratic Parties boil down to is free-market capitalism versus government control of our lives. In the middle, however, clueless government-addicted pundits, politicians, and much of the general public are fond of saying that the […]

Talk about economic judgment day that intensified during Obama’s eight years of trying to collapse the U.S. economy is starting to surface once again. The failure to completely repeal the People Control Act (misleadingly labeled the Affordable Care Act by the Dirty Dems) once again underscored the reality that a significant number of Republicans are, […]

The other day, one of my son’s friends, who was home from college for the summer, stopped in to say hello. We chatted briefly, and I asked him if he was still planning on becoming an entrepreneur/businessman after he graduated from school next spring. To my surprise, he said that because of the uncertainties in […]

To the equality-of-results crowd it sounds great, because they don’t understand that spreading the wealth actually makes everyone poorer. The main reason I’m against giving handouts to countries who destroy themselves through their socialist policies is that it […]

You’ve probably heard of Ray Kurzweil, the remarkable inventor/futurist. Among other things, Kurzweil, a member of the National Inventors Hall of Fame, developed the first print-to-speech reading machine for the blind. Listening to Kurzweil in a recent television appearance, the thought crossed my mind how geniuses like him appear to be able to transcend the […]

Some years ago, one of my readers expressed his disgust with the fact that grown adults play what amounts to nothing more than children’s games and are paid obscene amounts of money for doing so. This all-too-true phenomenon is made possible by the fact that so many adults find enchantment in the distractions of false […]

The pundits and politicians keep telling us that Donald Trump’s tweets are “beneath the dignity of the president’s office.” Funny, but I didn’t even realize that an office could have dignity — especially one that was home to such scoundrels as Bill Clinton, Jimmy Carter, and Richard Nixon. Many, in addition to Mad Maxine, believe […]

Back in the early eighties, when I was publishing my newsletter The Tortoise Report, the thought crossed my mind that the crumbling American Empire might eventually break up into smaller pieces — similar to the path chosen by the Roman and British Empires. When it comes to maintaining control over your subjects, bigness tends to […]
