Tweet The great Thomas Sowell speaks out against Trump’s disastrous trade ‘policy.’ A slice: Thomas Sowell: It’s painful to see a ruinous decision from back in the 1920s being repeated. [DBx: Note that Sowell said this on April 1st, before Trump’s “Liberation Day” announcement. It’s very likely that had Sowell known on April 1st just what was going to happen on the afternoon of April 2nd, his words of opposition would have been even harsher.] The Editorial Board […]

Florida Cops Face Lawsuit
I believe police officers’ actions will never change until they are held personally accountable. Lawsuits, settlements, judgements don’t require the individual cop to pay a price. I believe any judgement or settlement should always require the officer to pay 10% out of pocket.

A Weird Remedy
Sometimes, when a pendulum swings too far, there’s an urge to replace the weight with a wrecking ball. In some ways, that’s good. Eyesores should be demolished after over-eager architects get out of hand. Insane and Suicidal The Biden border policy was insane to the point of being suicidal. That administration didn’t merely allow illegal aliens, it welcomed them… like a Maître d’ showing diners to their table. From the far reaches of the world, “migrants” were funneled thru the […]

What if other factors might be involved: – Low savings – High government borrowing – Direct foreign investment – Indirect foreign […]
