I Rented A Tesla For A Week And Am Totally Sold On Gas-Powered Cars
After test-driving one for an entire week, we learned we will never buy a Tesla or any electric vehicle as long as we have the option of gas-powered cars or even hybrids. While planning a week-long trip to the Seattle area recently, I wondered aloud to my husband if we should rent a Tesla. […]
Is Obama Pulling Strings on a ‘Weekend at Bernie’s’ Biden Administration?
Who’s running the federal government? That question has been asked frequently as President Joe Biden continues to demonstrate signs of severe physical and mental decline. The president often seems barely there. It strains credulity that a man who can hardly put a sentence together at this point is fully carrying out his duties as commander in chief. A […]
What Is the New Deal with the New Deal?
Editors’ Note: It is quite striking how many similarities we have today with another thuggish Democrat, Franklin D. Roosevelt. The New Deal was the template for the modern welfare/warfare state and for the abuse of the electoral process, and the court system. Looking back, it seems fantastic that so many Americans were ready to give […]
Is the Fair Tax in Our Future?“
Critics of Donald Trump once counted tax evasion among his many faults. But it turned out that he wasn’t breaking any tax laws. He was simply utilizing the complex web of exemptions, deductions and other rules available to reduce his tax bill to near zero. It would be hard to imagine a worse tax system […]
COVID-19 Lies and What to Do About Them
The fall of Fauci and the unraveling narrative about COVID-19’s origins is something of a slow-motion train wreck. As recently as 2021, White House Chief Medical Advisor and National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases Director Dr. Anthony Fauci was hailed as a national hero and an icon of science. To be fair, Fauci did […]
US Government Interest Payments v. Tax Receipts, Average Interest on Treasury Debt, & Debt to GDP
Spiking Interest payments will hopefully, knock on wood, force the drunken sailors in Washington to go through detox. The gigantic US government debt is now approaching $33 trillion, amid a tsunami of issuance of Treasury securities to fund the mind-blowing government deficits and roll over maturing securities. At the same time, the Fed has hiked its […]
The Richest Opponents of Carbon-Free Nuclear Energy
A new profile at InfluenceWatch for the Opposition to Nuclear Energy movement lists eleven anti-nuclear nonprofits that each individually have annual revenue in excess of $50 million. As shown in a previous essay, there are hundreds of left-leaning nonprofits that oppose the use of zero-carbon nuclear energy, including nearly all of the nation’s largest climate/carbon alarmist groups. Their combined […]
Wealthy Democrats Aided And Abetted The Biden Border Crisis, Now They’re Whining About It
Amid the scrum of news this week about Democrat-led schemes to put former President Donald Trump on trial during the GOP primaries and rig the 2024 election in plain sight, you might have missed a cautionary tale out of New York City, where Democrat millionaires are whining about a migrant crisis they helped create. A […]
Enjoy The Sun While You Can
There are few things as confusing as the concept of money. Thorough explanations quickly become bogged down in technical weeds. I am going to attempt to make this as simple as possible for the general reader. It will probably upset my more technically savvy financial friends, but let the chips fall where they may. Perhaps […]
A Marxist Professor’s (Failed) Attempt to Explain How Socialism Would Deliver a PS5
This doesn’t make socialism look very attractive. My family got a PlayStation 5 a few years ago. It’s a decision I sometimes regret because my youngest son, who is 7, likes to play it too much. (And that’s when it gets unplugged and stashed away.) But it’s easy to forget what a modern marvel the PS5 is. […]
