standard Black People Duped
Walter Williams is one of my favorite economists. He writes for the layperson, avoiding jargon but not common sense. It is truly a shame that more people don’t understand what he conveys below. Many that do are Democrats who pretend to “care,” but do little more than advance their own political careers at the cost of ruining lives. (Emboldening not [...]
video Photos From The Past
This video contains some amazing photographs for those interested in history or photography. H/T to Reader Glenn for sending this.
standard Send In The Clowns
There is a lot right about this video. There are, however, two major problems with it: It needs Republicans, lots of them. It is insulting to the clown profession. There is background music. Related articles across the web Where Have The Clowns Gone?
standard Liberalism Unmasked
There are reasons to be worried. Things are not right in America. Current conditions are unlike anything I have witnessed in my seven decades on this sphere. Here is a pretty good summation of what I feel: I don’t know if these are the last days, or just the last days of freedom, but our republic is now beset by [...]
standard Milton Friedman on Social Security and National Health Care
Periodically I go back and review some of the great minds and their views on various subjects. Sometimes that means going back hundreds of years to writing styles and spellings that seem quaint today. Often it is not necessary to go back so far, although I must confess that is less and less possible given what is considered current wisdom. [...]
standard Insanity: Paying Through The Nose To Destroy Your Children
The above picture is racist according to some. Who knew? At least this insanity took place at a university in Canada. Whether that proves that US universities are not so bad or that Canadian ones are trying to emulate them in every respect is unknowable. But it is good to see that political correctness goes beyond the borders of this [...]
standard Politics and Work
An instant favorite, at least for me. It says all you need to know about Obama’s attitude toward work and the chances he can engineer an economic recovery: H/T Reader RFNII
standard Liberal — Conservative Breach
There are two America’s. One is Red and the other is Blue. This breach between liberals and conservatives is considered by some as too great to mollify. Some fantasize about breaking the US into two separate parts so that people of like minds can live more happily. Obviously, such a solution is not going to happen, at least not peacefully. [...]
standard Our Free Press
Imagine George Bush still in office with Benghazi happening. Does anyone believe the media would treat it in this fashion: Certainly Benghazi was not as important as the traffic jams on the George Washington Bridge. That bridge deserves more attention than Fast and Furious or the IRS scandals. Our country cannot survive when the mainstream media becomes a PR firm [...]
standard Retirement Impossible For Many
We are now well into the ME and NOW generation. They grew up believing saving was unimportant and debt was a proper way to gain access to the pleasures that they couldn’t afford, didn’t really need but believed they were due. The insanity of this entitlement mentality wasn’t born in a vacuum. Government encouraged it every step of the way. [...]
