As we have very often pointed out, the US spent the last half century-plus very stupidly outsourcing our prosperity to the rest of the planet. This has been devastating to the middle class. A vital, once-thriving driver of our once very successful nation – we have spent decades thinning this essential herd to near extinction.…
We are in the midst of a worldwide anti-globalist nationalist movement. The first major move – was Brexit. Great Britain voting three years ago to get the heck out of the ridiculous European Union (EU). And reassert its national primacy and sovereignty on such things as immigration and trade. Up next was the United States’…
The World Trade Organization (WTO): “(I)s the only global international organization dealing with the rules of trade between nations.” As with nigh all global organizations – much of what the WTO does is unfairly tilted against the United States. (See also: The United Nations.) The WTOs anti-Americanism is oft embodied in how the organization gives…
We are for less government – not no government. I was once on television absurdly accused of wanting the US to be like Wild West-esque Somalia. Not at all. The federal government is this year spending a grotesquely obscene $4.4 trillion. I’d like us to be somewhere between a grotesquely obscene $4.4 trillion – and…
So much of the “news” “reporting” – and the thinking of ‘The Smart People’ – on agriculture here in the US has a similar pall cast upon it. These Swamp Creatures allege President Donald Trump has been atrocious to – and for – our farmers. They then – in shocked and stunned fashion – again…
“The Smart People” have been oh-so-wrong about oh-so-many things regarding Candidate cum President Donald Trump.

Because it is via his trade policies – that oh-so-many of the Smart People’s dumbnesses have come to further light. Trump…
For those who don’t pay particularly close attention to politics – those on the Left lie. A LOT. They lie about Donald Trump-Russia collusion. They lie about their Russia collusion. They lie about green energy being green and energy – it’s neither. They lie about government-run health insurance. They lie about government-run medicine. They lie…
For people not steeped in American cinematic history – Duck Soup: “The country of Freedonia is in the middle of a financial crisis and on the brink of revolution….(T)he government appoints Rufus T Firefly as its president. However, Mr Firefly shuns the pomp and pretentiousness of government; along with the prudence and rationality of it…
I am for MUCH less government than the massive, nauseating amounts with which we are currently befouled. The federal government alone spends MORE THAN FOUR TRILLION DOLLARS PER YEAR. The entire United States economy’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) – the total productivity of every productive man, woman and child in the nation – is around…
The awful California wildfires that have killed dozens of people and destroyed hundreds of millions of dollars worth of property – are absolutely atrocious. It is such an inconceivable loss. What makes the devastation and destruction additionally awful – is the awful, wasteful non-necessity of the massive magnitude. California Failed to Sufficiently Manage its Forests:…
