We less government types want the government doing as little as conceivably possible. Fortunately for us – so did the Founding Fathers. And they drafted and ratified the Constitution to do exactly that – limit the federal government’s activities to a few, specifically proscribed things. And the Founders strenuously recommended that state and local governments…
President Donald Trump inherited a whole lot of awful Barack Obama policy. Unfortunately, much of that awful policy has since Trump’s inauguration continued to lurch forward. Due to the awfulness of Deep State bureaucrats – and inherent bureaucratic inertia. In many instances – Trump has put a stop to it. In many other instances, unfortunately,…
Elon Musk is the welfare God-King. He is an all-time champion of government money reception – $5 billion and counting. And as you know, Ladies and Gentlemen: Government money isn’t government money – until they have first taken it from us. It’s actually our money. And with that government bureaucrat investment (of our money) –…

“They that sow the wind – shall reap the whirlwind.” From the Hebrew Bible’s Book of Hosea, it means that if you choose to do X, expect to get X – good and hard. Now-President Donald Trump ran for the gig promising to “Drain the Swamp.” Which was him sowing what he would do should…
The Myth of Elon Musk is that of daring entrepreneur. An avant garde, cutting edge businessman who sees a little bit further around the curve of the Earth – to get a glimpse of the Next Big Thing before the rest of us are able see it. The Reality of Elon Musk is that of…
We warned that this was happening. In case you don’t already know – this is Andrew Ross Sorkin: “Andrew Ross Sorkin is a columnist for The New York Times and the founder and editor-at-large of DealBook, an online daily financial report published by The Times that he started in 2001.

President-elect Donald Trump turns a very memorable phrase.
