Who Gets to Decide?

Robert Reich is a well-known politico who worked as Bill Clinton's Secretary of Labor.  In recent years he spends time writing books and producing entertaining videos where he weighs in on the latest social ill and provides a "REASONABLE" policy prescription. He is very skilled at making horrible ideas sound good.  He has a fairly large following among young people and in my opinion, his...

Nobody likes the political left or the political right but what both sides agree on is that you cannot return to the establishment and the status quo of business as usual.  Institutions and the establishment that supports them have hollowed out the middle class, enriched themselves, and can't seem to understand why this has happened in America.  They look at Donald Trump and scratch thei...

It's been said that the Life Blood of the state is WAR.  That said, the state needs to be continuously waging war to justify its existence and continue to make the case that it's there to protect the citizens from impending doom!  For example, the war on terror and the war on drugs have a finite life because at some point it becomes evident to the citizens that the claims are fantastic b...

With the war in Ukraine now in its 10th month, Russian President Vladimir Putin and U.S. President Joe Biden have both expressed openness to peace talks to end the fighting, as have leaders in France, Germany, and elsewhere. This comes as millions of Ukrainians brace for winter without heat or electricity due to Russian strikes on Ukrainian civilian infrastructure. "This war needs to end because i...

Our dishonest money system has led us toward so many unworkable ideas that they are becoming too numerous to catalog and track.  All of these dumb ideas have two things in common; 1) They will eventually fail spectacularly and 2) They will cost the lives and livelihoods of billions of inhabitants.  Join me today as we look at the latest policy out of the EU designed to save the planet fr...

During a critical time when people needed information to decide whether or not the vaccine would be a good choice for them and their families, the CDC decided to withhold vital information from the public.  Isn't "Public Health" run by doctors, and are those doctors not subject to the same ethical framework that doctors in the private sector are subject to?  Ethical precepts such as "Fir...

We're beginning to find out what everybody already knows, that the government and its willing allies inside Twitter have been working together to help craft and control a narrative around a whole host of subjects within the body politic.  As Elon Musk continues to dig into the various elements of Twitter, he has been releasing what he's found all along the way and cleaning house of the rotten...

Chamath Palihapitiya is one of the newest and most exciting voices in the financial world.  Just like the markets themselves, most of the talking heads in this space suffer from groupthink or herd mentality, but Chamath.  His thinking is grounded in principle and a true understanding of the reality of our current financial system.  Now he is sounding the alarm bells about the necess...

There has been a tremendous increase in unexpected death among young people.  In many cases, it has been attributed to the mRNA vaccines administered in considerable numbers to our population.  Join me today as we discuss some of these deaths profiled in the "Until Proven Otherwise" movement created by doctors Asseem Maholtra and Peter McCollough.  These doctors have been on the fro...

The state does so many egregious things to us that it is hard to zero in on just one, but using taxpayer money to traffic children is certainly one that we should look into.  Who could be against The Adoption and Safe Families Act signed into law during the Clinton Administration?  This law, however, sowed the seeds of abuse and corruption that is being realized on a $80 billion annual b...

Ayn Rand was an enormously influential author, philosopher, and warrior for liberty.  My journey in the search for truth, history, and economics started way back in 1997 after reading Atlas Shrugged.  This great novel is about a battle of wills between the industrialist of their time and the government parasites that sought to control them by using the law and the media.  Sounds fam...

Central Banks and their "monetary mischief" are the single largest threat to the liberty and the standard of living of Americans.  Centralizing this authority globally and/or in a digital form will give this evil authority UNLIMITED POWER over our every decision.  It would be the end of America as we know it!  This cannot be overstated.  Join me today as we discuss the dangers...

Even though there is absolutely NO evidence that MAN is causing the climate to change, governments around the World feel empowered to wage a global war on the possibility that it exists and that its implications are dire for mankind.  Governments are the most dangerous creations by man, but man himself imagines that governments are a force for good in the hands of wise elites.  I've said...

Our country has enough issues to deal with between those that think the government is the answer and those that think the government is the problem.  Liberty and property, the foundations of society and human flourishing are little understood and not at the forefront of people's thinking.  But then I run across an Alex Jones-type story and my worry and concern increase 100-fold.  In...

Democrats have lost several prominent members from their party, most recently Tulsi Gabbard.  But none has more impact on the average Democrat than Brandon Straka, whose very public announcement in 2018 over YouTube and Twitter led to more significant losses for the party.  Unfortunately, Mr. Straka ran into some trouble with the FBI after January 6th, like many of his fellow citizens. &...

Ayn Rand is widely considered one of the most influential philosophers/authors of the 20th Century.  We are lucky enough that she lived long enough to capture videos where she engaged pop cultural leaders of our time.  These interviews with Phil Donahue are some of the most revealing of her brilliance and, her intuitive understanding of economics, philosophy, and culture.  Join me t...

Since joining the World Trade Organization decades ago, China's growth has been a phenomenal machine and a net good for the world.  In recent years they have come under fire as the middle class in the US has been declining.  Politicos in America are concerned about losing its empire status to China.  The dirty little secret is, however, without economic might, there is no empire. &n...

For the last six years, the public has been battling the misinformation/disinformation boards at Twitter regarding what is allowed to be said in public.  We know from Alex Berenson's lawsuit that Twitter was censoring user accounts at the behest of government officials.  In fact, it's even more than editing, they have been amplifying the "government-approved" narrative on their platform,...

There have been massive financial investment distortions to the energy market over the last 10 years or so and the costs of these interventions will be just as massive and should start to manifest themselves this winter in Europe.  As it becomes obvious to the people of Europe that their leadership has misled them about the Green Energy Revolution, there will be an enormous backlash against t...

There is quite a bit of talk about election denialism and its risks to democracy.  Missing from all of this talk is a discussion about the root causes.  Maybe we need to bring Kamala Harris in on this problem and make her the leader for solving the problem.  She's good at determining root causes!  Or maybe it would be more worthwhile to discuss this exchange with Dinesh D'Souza...

If the past two years under the Biden administration have shown us anything.  It's that the government is willing to use propaganda, coercion, blacklisting from the internet, and even abuse of the legal and justice system to silence its opposition.  Given this backdrop, it would have been easy to wager that the Republicans would have come out of the midterms with resounding majorities, b...

Monetary inflation is one of the most destructive forces for society!    Inflations are mostly observed in countries run by tin-pot dictators. Countries like; Zimbabwe, Venezuela, and Argentina have notorious and destructive bouts of inflation as so-called "leaders" consolidate power and take over the means of production.  Many people believe that this phenomenon cannot happen...

If you've been able to get COVID news outside of the approved opinion, then you've likely seen people dying suddenly at the bank, reporting the news, playing soccer or high school football.  There is some speculation that these deaths are being caused by the COVID vaccines.  Unfortunately, we don't know because the media and the medical community refuses to dig into it and investigate. &...

Alex Jones is notorious for spinning up anti-government "propaganda" and scaring people about the latest hair-brained explanation for the newest failure coming from our "leaders".  He has been labeled the most prolific conspiracy theorist in our modern era.  When this ridiculous lawsuit was waged against him for pronouncing the parent from the Sandy Hook school shooting as "crisis actors...

When I was younger, we used to hold America up as different from other governments worldwide.  We didn't jail political prisoners.  We respected individual opinions and we tolerated speech from those we didn't like or agree with.  It feels a lot like that ship has sailed.  The elites do not appear to believe in any of these ideas anymore.  Political opponents are routinely...
