Murphy: Social Justice Failure: Workers AREN’T Equal

Mon, 2024-07-15 02:00 +0000

This is one of the basic economic ideas of the Left: reparations and retribution. And they never, EVER care about the results of their policies. Emphasis mine: Doubt me? Just look at the 10s of thousands of fast food workers that have been fired or laid off simply because California Legislators decided that they can jack up “minimum wages” to the point where the businesses can no longer…

MacDonald: June Wasn’t So Hot After All

Mon, 2024-07-15 00:00 +0000

I’m sure we can all sit back and relax, knowing they will announce how July 2024 was the hottest on record. I won’t be, but it is good to be prepared, and as a primer, June 2024 was not the hottest June ‘on record’ either. June is a great month. Schools let out, summer’s here, and the weather is getting warmer, but not everywhere, not all the time, and often not as much as they’d like you to…

Murphy: The “Value Add” Rationale is Clobbering the Unions

Sun, 2024-07-14 22:00 +0000

When a law is necessary to keep an organization’s membership from leaving (e.g., a closed union shop that demands membership before someone can work there), it is ripe for competition. In this case, it was the same SCOTUS decision that made it possible for me NOT to have to join a union Janus v. AFSCME (2018). While that decision was over, having to pay a union for “collective bargaining” (ruling…

Roper: “Green” Energy Policy Punishes Those on Home Heating Assistance

Sun, 2024-07-14 20:00 +0000

The Equity Advisory Group (EAG) to the Public Utilities Commission (PUC) heard testimony on July 9th from Richard Giddings of the Department of Children and Families about how the Clean Heat Standard law would impact low-income Vermonters who receive home heating assistance in the winter. The news was not good for LIHEAP (Low Income Heating Assistance Program) participants. A little background…

Op-Ed: Who Is The Dictator

Sun, 2024-07-14 18:00 +0000

Barack Obama, having been ordered by George and Alex Soros, sent the memo to the leftist faithful through the mouth of David Axelrod (who looks like Hitler) to always call President Donald Trump a dictator. Any politically astute observer knows this is simply the most recent example of Demolitioncrat projection. The dictator surely is the Biden Administration and its war on conservatives.

MacDonald: Slippery Slope: Canada Kills 15,000* in 2023 as Disabled ‘Fight’ for Their Lives

Sun, 2024-07-14 16:00 +0000

Canada wasn’t the first, but they’ve become something of a poster child for Medically induced death. Euphemistically referred to as medical aid in dying (unless it’s capital punishment), rising numbers of Canadians are being lined up at the assisted suicide death mills for discorporation. It is true that some will or are members of the advertised target demographic, but as we’ve noted…

Oliver Wolcott – Old World and New

Sun, 2024-07-14 14:00 +0000

One of the most illustrious signers as far as their personal influence was Oliver Wolcott. The Wolcott family had an impressive pedigree in the old world as well as the new. He descended from a distinguished line of political leaders, attorneys, landholders, judges, and medical doctors. Oliver Wolcott attended Yale University, graduating in 1747, and was at the top of his class.

Banfield: Teaching Violence Begins In Public Schools

Sun, 2024-07-14 14:00 +0000

Everyone keeps looking around wondering how someone can resort to violence in this political culture. Look no further than your local public schools. You may wonder how that can be since schools are focusing on nurturing a child’s social and emotional well being. You’d be lying to yourself. Public schools are breeding activism, and if you tie in the vitriol coming from political pundits…

Cardello: The Blood Of Trump Is On You Joe

Sun, 2024-07-14 12:00 +0000

Joe Biden cranked up the rhetoric. He cannot touch Donald Trump on the policies or results. He has gone personal and is making Donald Trump out to be the greatest threat to Democracy in our history. You told your followers that Donald Trump was someone who needed to be stopped. Those people knew you were not going to be able to beat Trump at the ballot box, so they took it upon themselves to solve…

Hakeem Jeffries Is A Hypocrite

Sun, 2024-07-14 10:00 +0000

I realize I wrote about Hakeem Jeffries yesterday, but what he did on Thursday afternoon deserves a rebuttal. How dare this little man from New York have the audacity to disparage half of the country that we are not Conservatives or Republicans, but that we are Extreme MAGA Republicans who presumably cannot think for ourselves. That Donald Trump programs us to speak the party line.

Art Thou Better Off Now Than During That Not So Bygone Age of Trump?

Sun, 2024-07-14 02:00 +0000

Time to revisit another old political saw. It’s a classic. Are you better off now than (insert time period here)? In this case, now as opposed to before Biden. And if you won the Lottery, yes, you most likely are. For the rest of us mortals, not so much. A quick comparison between Then and Now: So, under which reign would you prefer to be with respect to your treasure? …

Administrative Creep on the Chopping Block

Sun, 2024-07-14 00:00 +0000

A busy US Supreme Court dropped yet another jurisprudential bomb in the recent case of Loper Bright Enterprises v. Raimondo, which reversed the longstanding precedent of Chevron USA, Inc. v. Natural Resources Defense Council, Inc. The 1984 Chevron decision served as a four-decade foundation for judicial “deference” (essentially, the benefit of the doubt) when reviewing administrative regulations…
