“Crony capitalism” has been getting disapproval from such as Sarah Palin (who removed some notorious examples as Governor of Alaska) but seems less than newsworthy to much of the media. Maybe because their hero, our Prez is a big time target if complaints surface. The latest: Uncle Sams’s Fire Sale: Minimum Investment, $1 Billion explains how [...]

Our neo-Malthusian elites have returned to a repeatedly debunked belief: that population growth outstrips progress in supplying food. Evidently their Ivy schools don’t teach history since this canard has been foisted often enough and never supported by facts. The “green revolution” shot it down most recently (you can Google it). Nevertheless, it keeps returning, often [...]

Deficits and debt are the doomsayers’ litany; we hear little of other economic poisons we’ve ingested. But they’re there and foreclosures are one of them, one large enough to take us down by itself. First, they aren’t happening, the defaulted property–far too much of it–is largely sitting more or less paralyzed between government bureaucracy and lender [...]

Some 50 million perfectly innocent nascent humans have died since Roe vs. Wade legalized convenience abortions in reaction to the female birth control pill. That’s a technology-based socio-legal change on scale with deaths in WWII, triggered by a single biological development. Now we’re diagnosing more birth defects before birth; Down syndrome for instance, can be [...]

Historically the Greeks led the way into Western technological civilization, followed by Romans, the rest of Europe and North America in that order…and now they’re leading all of us back out.

Abusing kids needs defining: do you mean exposing them in the woods at birth, as has been historically popular and is still done in places? More efficient and city services-dependent Americans traditionally use dumpsters, of course. We’re up to date. Or is aborting them before they have a chance to show up a form of [...]

Instead of defining Romeny, columnist/economist Thomas Sowell lets the candidate define himself, thus eliminating both subjectivity and argument. A Defining Moment will explain. Seems our self-described ‘conservative’ candidate came out recently for indexing the minimum wage so it doesn’t lose value against inflation. Very compassionate and appealing to low wage workers, especially black ones like Doctor [...]

While the cops once viewed themselves as keepers of the peace, they now seem more like bringers of war.

Black poverty remains a shibboleth of Democrats; Indian poverty isn’t seemingly worth their attention–too few votes available, perhaps. That’s more than a bit hypocritical since the Indians have been here longer than the blacks and own no less right to blame the white man for their condition. And that condition is too often worse than [...]
