Incredible.
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s media-adored “Green New Deal” is estimated to cost $90 trillion, even after her office excised from it her push to attack the scourge of airplanes and cow flatulence.
And how will she fund it?
By putting makeup on a very old and destructive pig.
Ms. Ocasio-Cortez wants to employ “Modern Monetary Theory”, which isn’t modern at all, and is so utterly…
In 1960, DC Comics and Superman creator Jerry Siegal introduced the character of Bizarro, a fumbling, comedic antagonist and sometimes anti-hero counterpart to Superman, and he was so popular, he spawned an entire planet of alternate DC heroes. They all lived on a square version of Earth where everything was counter to our reality, so, for example, Bizarro Bernie Sanders would actually…
I lecture on political economics and ethics, and I write novels and television scripts that incorporate lessons about freedom. But if I told students this tale without showing them evidence, or if I slipped this into the plot of a story, many people wouldn’t believe it.
Or, perhaps because so many summertime entrepreneurs of the non-adult ilk have been busted by cops for selling lemonade, they…
We know this is no laughing matter.
Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s (D. NY) “Green New Deal” is adored by the pop media, the same pop media darlings who assiduously avoid talking to its free-market critics. If given the opportunity, we and economists such as Dr. Robert Murphy can observe that even the title of her proposal is based on mindless adoration for FDR’s “New Deal”, a set…
Contemporary news stories and political predators can be fist-to-palm infuriating, but, if we’re canny, they also can serve as “leap points” to see timeless principles that have been forgotten as the political class turns America into a collectivized, command-and-control dystopia.
In Part One of this series on the individual versus the state, we took a serious look at the philosophical…
New Jersey politicians aren’t helping reform its image as an unattractive place to live or work. In January, I reported on the fact that the “Garden State” had the highest “flight” rate of any in the US. This followed on the heels of reports in July of last year that the government of NJ had voted in favor of literally funding press outlets, which is otherwise known as state-backed propaganda.…
Liz Warren has done it again.
The fake-as-a-three-dollar-bill collectivist Massachusetts Senator who invited criticism and opprobrium for claiming she was a “Native American” on a job application for Harvard, and then received more criticism for years of resistance to requests for her to back it up... The woman who, when she did finally take a blood test, was shown to be 1/1024th connected to a…
Remember when medicine wasn’t used as a political lever or as cover for politicians issuing mandates and dictates?
Admittedly, that was a long time ago, so you’d have to have a darn good memory, but it’s quite clear, looking at the alarmist and regulation-promoting “Lancet” report called “The Global Syndemic of Obesity, Undernutrition, and Climate Change” that busybodies are champing at the…
The hallowed and deservedly respected “Twilight Zone” is coming back. But to look at recent events surrounding the oafishly misanthropic, hopelessly confused VA Governor, Ralph Northam makes one wonder if, perhaps, we haven’t been living in The Zone all along.
The events, revelations, and exposure of political and journalistic shallowness surrounding this man are so numerous, one could…
Thomas Jefferson famously said that the “natural progress of things is for liberty to yield and government to gain ground.” So it’s nice to see a good story, where, at least superficially, government is pulling back…
Superficially.
According to KIRO7.com, on January 31, the Washington State Department of Ecology announced that it would no longer require auto emissions tests in most counties on…
