<p>China's stated national policy is “One Sun,” meaning they want to be the World's leader. They don't have the military might but they do know how to exploit the inherent greed of Capitalism. There's a reason the U.S. always had cold relations with China, because a Communist-dictatorship is as far from liberty as it gets, but of all the disastrous policies implemented by president Clinton,...

<p>As odd as it may seem, a lawyer in California can't practice in Washington State without a license; neither can doctors, accountants, or engineers? And the requirements to become licensed in another State are not uniform: some require more years of medical residency, or a different kind of Bar exam, or more professional references. There's no way people who have never gotten one of these...

<p>The argument for both a Minimum wage and a Living wage make an employer responsible for the choices and circumstances of their employees. In a Free Market, employers pay what a job is worth to them, not what the employee wants. If picking up trash, washing dishes, babysitting, etc. cost too much, they won't get done, but these jobs teach Work Ethic, especially to those who need it, which...

<p>Small business literally can't save money for a rainy day or future expansion because they must pass the profits through to the owners, so it's the owners, not the business, doing those things. Most small business owners obviously don't do their own taxes because it's amazing how many of them don't understand that they pay personal taxes on all the business's profits at their own federal...

<p>When I went to Business school, we were taught to stay out of politics, only unethical businesses had lobbyists, and business certainly shouldn't identify their partisanship by giving campaign contributions. Boy, how things have changed; not only are businesses unafraid to take sides, they are actually partners with advocacy groups interfering with the Rights of their customers. It's scar...

<p>One of the buzzwords you'll hear in government circles is “public-private partnerships.” This concept really started to gain steam in the 1970s as the so-called “Reagan Revolution” occurred when Baby-Boomers started voting to lower taxes and increase government benefits. What used to be covered by the public coffers: university tuition, infrastructure, utilities; found themselves without...

<p>The stock market is held aloft by companies buying their own stock, and people assume that's a good thing because they naively think that a company wouldn't do that unless they knew everything was copacetic, but the truth is almost the exact opposite. First, stock buybacks are a scheme to increase corporate earnings per share because there are fewer shares outstanding per the profit, whic...

<p>Liberty includes profiting from your own actions, but no one likes to be measured against others and come out wanting, especially if the gap continues to grow, so egalitarians react by saying everyone should be equal and stay that way; they demean profit and accumulation of wealth under the guise of altruism. The perverse & resentful Left use “profit” like a curse word.</p> <...

<p>A modern economy requires people to spend money; in fact, in a flagging economy, saving money is actually a bad thing and borrowing money is a good thing. The way The Fed encourages borrowing is to lower interest rates, so far to the point where there is almost no incentive to keep money in a bank except for the convenience. In times of dire economic slowdown, where the goal is to get peo...

<p>When there's a lot of money printing, economists bemoan that it's devaluing the currency, but practically speaking, devaluing the dollar is only important in relation to other currencies; for example, it takes more dollars to buy the euro or the yuan. Ultimately, this means that imports become more expensive, causing Americans to buy less of them; a good thing for American workers. It als...

<p>Even though the term “money supply” sounds self-explanatory, there are several iterations of it: M1, M2, M3, etc.; each more esoteric than the last. The simple explanation is that in an age before people understood that the supply of money was endless, and where inflation was seen as the great bugaboo, tying the amount of money to something tangible, like gold or debts, was seen as natura...

<p>Modern Monetary Theory, or MMT, is not that modern; it was academically proposed by Georg Knapp in 1905 as a contrast to the Gold Standard. There were hints of it before by Adam Smith, John Stewart Mills and even Karl Marx. Economist Randall Wray is a contemporary proponent, and Socialist Presidential candidate, Bernie Sanders, based his proposed economic policies on it. The term “Modern...

<p>Let's review what happened to the media:</p> <ol> <li> <p>The Left has gotten control of The Media, and they're not letting go.</p> </li> <li> <p>The Media is The Left's most powerful weapon for destroying their opponents.</p> </li> <li> <p>Propaganda works; always has; always will.</p> </li> <li> &l...

<p>The almost total bias of the MSM is irrational, especially the ridiculous overstatements, unsourced hoaxes, and inane claims of foreign interference in elections. It wasn't like this 20 years ago; what happened? This is a result of the successful strategy of The Left to take over the narrative. It was mostly hidden, a subtle boiling of the frog, because the prevailing ideology was liberty...

<p>YouTube has made some unlikely people famous: Jordan Peterson, for example; a soft-spoken clinical psychologist who went against the full force of Leftist elitism all by himself, earning him First Chair in the Intellectual Dark Web, a term used by an informal group of pundits who oppose the ideology of The Left: post-modernism, post-structuralism, and political correctness. Its personalit...

<p>Since watching broadcast news is both boring and even uninformative due to the extreme bias, many people have switched to watching news aggregaters on YouTube. The most prominent are journalist Tim Pool, of TimCast, commentator Tarl Warwick, under the name Styxhexenhammer666, and author Scott Adams, as in “Coffee With.” Their audiences are mostly men judging from the thousands of comments...

<p>Russia-Today, the Russian government-funded news program, was renamed “RT,” presumably to obscure the Russia connection after all the bad Trump press. It was created in 2005 and broadcasts in 5 languages, English being the most influential, and even has some content local to the regions they operate in. They have had some excellent, intelligent shows, including: Chris Hedges, Larry King,...

<p>When Ted Turner created CNN at the dawn of the Cable age, it was a tedious 24-hour loop of the same truncated news stories. However, the genius of its marketing was the idea of monopolizing airports; airports carry the mystique of sophistication & glamour, and CNN's legitimacy was established. Decades ago, it was “the most trusted name in news,” but, oh, how the mighty have fallen. No...

<p>About a decade ago I watched Fox News because they had a perspective that was being ignored by the other news channels, though it was biased and obviously pandered to men; its cutesy female anchors provided some kind of sex fantasy that made its success both frightening & embarrassing. At the time, the age of their average viewer was 68, and now it's 65, with by far the most cable new...

<p>The early politics in America had episodes of extreme political vitriol, malevolence & rancor, bordering on hysteria, where the attempted savaging of an individual's reputation was considered just part of the process. Accusing people of the most heinous of things: being murderers, rapists, and witches; was not uncommon. This appetite for destruction has again been normalized. The mode...

<p></p> <p>Calling intentionally misleading news stories, “hoaxes,” began during the Trump administration by pundits looking at what was happening to him. It all started before the election and still fell into the realm of dirty but acceptable political maneuvering, but blew up within days of Trump taking office with the Russia Hoax, soon followed by The “fine people” hoax. The h...

<p></p> <p>Indoctrination is saying something enough times that people internalize it as one of their core beliefs that control how they act. Indoctrination is especially effective on children, and even more so if the information is from an authoritative source. Indoctrination is the most influential method of conditioning a society to a particular message; the message itself is...

<p></p> <p>Doesn't it seem odd that over 90 percent of the MSM reporting on president Trump is negative? When did that kind of bias begin? Surely, when I used to watch the news back in the day, what I saw was mostly true? There used to be a mythology about journalists as honest seekers after the truth against the powers-that-be. They exposed corruption and malfeasance, they didn'...

<p></p> <p>The MSM, entertainment, Tech & education are all totally dominated by one political ideology that's almost completely out of sync with half the population; how can that be? Is there no interest from that half for news & information? The claim is that there is no conspiracy, that the media simply makes money appealing for clicks & ratings with the most outra...
