Some Reflections On The Present Political Condition
The following three images capture the feelings of many Americans toward those in office or power:
Going From Bad To Worse(r)
Lots of good reader commentary developed regarding the recent post Why Things Are Getting Worse — Much Worse. Reader Blair is particularly strong in his condemnation of our current situation, quite a bit stronger than my original article. You can read it and decide for yourself whether you believe Blair overstates matters. His style is [...]
How Does It End?
The days of reasonable economic forecasting are over. Today, an economic forecast is more like the analysis of a criminal mind than the evaluation of economic data. The dominating role of government overpowers markets intentionally. In the short-term that will continue. Reactions to Federal Reserve minutes referencing continuation, alteration or cessation of quantitative easing cause [...]

Ethics Summarized In One Minute
A one-minute summary of the ethics of the Obama Administration and Obama himself provided by Congressman Jim Bridenstine:
Reagan and Obama — Different Views Of Reality
At the beginning of this video Ronald Reagan explains why America prospered. What conditions Reagan believed (correctly in my opinion) responsible for our success is what Barack Obama is systematically removing or destroying. Our success derived from freedom and free markets which allowed the initiative and creativity of individuals to thrive. Our failure will occur [...]
When Government Preys On People
