Contrary to the conventional wisdom (which is almost always neither) – the current bipartisan infrastructure bill is an exceedingly awful idea. Federal ‘Infrastructure’? State-Local Government and Crony Bail Outs and Slush Funds As the late, inordinately great George Carlin noted: “The word bipartisan usually means some larger-than-usual deception is being carried out.” And so it…
Monday’s stock market slide could have been a response to any of the very many awful economic indicators we are currently facing. A lot of the blamers were blaming China’s over-leveraged monster property development company The Evergrande Group. Evergrande just noted that perhaps they may not be able to pay back the $300+ billion they…
One reason President Donald Trump was so revolutionary was because he appointed many, MANY judges who acted as judges are supposed to act (his three Supreme Court misses notwithstanding). Election 2020: You Can Never Have Too Many Constitutionalist Judges and Justices Perhaps the most revolutionary move was Trump’s transformation of the historically, notoriously Leftist and…
The United States spent much of the latter half of the 20th Century engaging in a wide array of titanically stupid policies. And we’ve spent the first quarter of the 21st Century being just as titanically stupid. The dumbest policy of this Idiot Era has been our suicidal embrace of globalism. In the 1950s, we…

So our perspective on things is often quite different. China has been China for thousands of years. Basically the same people living in the same place…
We are in the Age of Stupid. We the Thinking have been concussed into a stupor – and forcibly submerged beneath the waves of idiocy. There is so much dumbness coming at us from so many directions, it is impossible to deal with it all – let alone fight it all off. The best one…
Sometimes lost in the Red Team-Blue Team perspective on the Supreme Court’s rulings? The Court’s decisions are not simply ideological exercises. There are real word implications to the decisions they render. The further removed their decisions are from the Constitution – the worse things get here in reality. Quite often it appears the Justices are…
Imagine you are an inventor. You expend on your efforts years of time and toil. And LOTS of dollars – yours and borrowed. You finally manage to create something out of nothing. It is a literal miracle. A gift from God – Himself The Great Creator. Your invention is something that will improve the lives…
The alleged 6-3 conservative majority Supreme Court has been a decidedly mixed bag from a conservative outcome perspective. The following ruling showed the Court dipping its toe in the warm waters of Judicial Sanity – but then quickly withdrawing the digit. Supreme Court Says Over 200 Patent Judges Were Improperly Appointed: “The Supreme Court ruled…
