Every few years, we get a spike in stories about how the Federal Government controls vast swathes of land in supposedly sovereign states. This control, exerted as part of the Federal Land Policy and Management Act, prevents states from utilizing their own land, and Utah has had enough of that. Utah’s lawsuit contends that the Bureau of Land ... Read more

By Jeff M. Smith | RealClear Wire – When the Heritage Foundation released its comprehensive report on the origins of the Covid-19 pandemic, headlines tended to focus on the cost to the U.S. That’s not surprising: At an eye-popping $18 trillion, it’s almost 10 times the projected 2024 budget deficit. Arguably, however, the Commission’s most infuriating conclusion was this: ... Read more

Democrats in and out of the media want to bail out newsrooms. The progressives can’t seem to move on. Newspapers are dying, but the people obsessed with Forward keep looking back. Longingly. Pining for a publicly funded propaganda machine (NPR just isn’t enough). Yearning for someone to bail out their mouthpieces. Millions have been dumped ... Read more

The Vermont Supreme Court has doubled down on its recent decision denying Vermont parents and their children basic constitutional safeguards against unauthorized government infliction of an experimental vaccine on a young public school child.

I am NOT a fan of our Speaker. I’ve criticized many committee assignments here and called him the captain of a ship of uniparty corruption. I am also developing a pattern of writing commentaries on NH Journal articles. The featured piece for this one is their story of House leadership’s ousting of Emily Phillips from ... Read more

As mentioned in [Part 1], the most straightforward (and least Marxist) way to fund schools would be to use a uniform (per capita) tax. You take the budget, divide it by the number of taxpayers, and that’s the tax each one pays. But even that ends up implementing a sort of reverse Marxism, taking money ... Read more

Can the average American, the one who wants to get a good education, get a good job, raise a family in a safe neighborhood, and pass along a better America to their children, ever feel like they have a say in their future? Have Americans relented so much power to the government that we are ... Read more

Whether you call them elites, the ruling class, Globalists, the political class, or just an appropriately derogatory euphemism (that place where the feces come out, as an example), they all share a common Marxist thread—naming things what they are not. Men aren’t women. Diversity and inclusion offices divide and exclude. The Inflation Reduction Act worsened ... Read more

By Jane L Johnson | Mises Wire – No American politician running for office wants to talk about taxes—unless, of course, it’s to promise a tax cut. No Misesian views taxes with anything but suspicion, and Mises himself held some principled views on taxes: Taxes are necessary. But the system of discriminatory taxation universally accepted under the misleading ... Read more

By Daniel Lacalle | Mises Wire – Price controls, higher taxes, government intervention, and subsidies paid for by printing a constantly devalued currency. These are the essential pillars of “21st century socialism” and the radical left Peronism that obliterated Argentina. These are also the main elements of the economic plan presented by Kamala Harris and the Democratic ... Read more

It is no secret that Elon Musk is packing his California bags and moving to Texas. From parental rights infringements to taxes to drug users blocking the parking garage exit such that he can leave X in San Fran, he’s had it. Everyone to the exits. Last month, Musk, who bought Twitter in 2022, announced ... Read more

Democrats want us to believe that systemic racism is prevalent in every nook and cranny and every age group in America. They like to point a finger at the Right and connect all of our beliefs to racism. Blaming conservatives for being racist is their favorite line of attack, regardless of ethnic nationality or economic ... Read more

Because there’s nothing else in the entire world to report, there have been a number of headlines suggesting that Robert F. Kennedy Jr. ate a dog. It looks like he ate a dog. RFK Jr. denys he ate dog. Reminiscent of the Romneys torturing their dog on the top of their moving vehicle or reporters ... Read more

By Logan Churchwell | Daily Caller – Money always finds a way. In the years following the 2020 election, dozens of states managed to ban private funding of elections. But even though Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg has repeatedly promised not to pour more of his money into your local election office, this year, the “Zuckbucks” team is recommitted to ... Read more

After looking at [Part 1] and [Part 2], we can consider a third case, where the kid who takes the EFA comes from a district that would be tuitioning him to a school outside the district, because the district doesn’t offer the grade that he’s in. For example, suppose each district pays $15,000 to tuition ... Read more

The weekly avalanche is starting… Last week’s Friday Edition. Remember, ridicule and mockery are effective weapons: 1. Ridicule cannot easily be fought 2. Ridicule makes the enemy angry, and angry people make mistakes 3. For those in the “squishy middle” a Thought Splinter (and Part II and Part III and Part IV) can often be hidden inside humor. Now, let ... Read more

George Washington tried to warn us in his 1796 Farewell Address about “the baneful effects of the Spirit of Party.” His warning concerned the Founder’s caution against our potential human frailties. This can be further realized by the restrictive style that composed our Constitution. Washington’s “baneful effects” were on full display within the democrat’s recent ... Read more

Like dandelions in spring, outraged headlines are popping up across the internet.

Public health officials have advised a dusk-to-dawn curfew. We suggest you do more ... Read more

First, let me say that Spec Bowers has a history of doing good work and I praise that. However, I have some problems with his new piece called “The Good Guys.” I will get into that, but I first give public thanks to him for identifying some House primaries of interest and pointing out the ...
