NOT for the Faint of Heart for our Nation
Poor President Biden, what he thinks to be good for the nation turns out to be bad. I’ll say one thing for him; he is able to keep a stiff upper lip. Everybody but Joe knew his spending $4.6 trillion was going to be bad, and that has been correct

What is seen in Health Care and Defense Cost is not the Whole Story
The Federal government comes out whole from overpaying for some health care costs but comes out ahead by having foreign consumers of health care purchasing $400 billion of products they otherwise would not buy. As an aside, the value of defense spending is even a greater benefit from NATO participation.

The Enumeration of the 2022 Census was deeply flawed; Congress Should Investigate
Taking a Decennial Census of all the people residing in the United States is specified in the Constitution, Article I, Section 2, Clause 3. The census is to be achieved by an actual enumeration of all residents. The Census Act of 1790 prescribed that the head of the family give the count of the actual… Read more

Census Enumerations are Second only to Elections for Fiddling with counts of the people for politics
The Constitution apportioned the First House of Representatives in the year 1789 before the Constitution was even finalized by the delegates.

The number was particularly important to those delegates who believed representatives were not able to… Read more

INFLATION is Always and Everywhere a Government Phenomenon
President Biden’s judgment on what causes inflation is worse for America than anything his predecessor did in office, or afterwards. Biden is the most self-serving President in history. His fingerprints are all over the delay in letting Powell begin interest rises too soon after 5 trillion was spent.

What the Constitution Expects from Congress, Members, and the People
The Founders did an excellent piece of government law, but they gave the same power to two different power centersl That is a mess waiting to happen; worse than “abortion” which was created by a modern generation.

Affirmative Action is Government Ordered Systemic Racism
Last week the Supreme Court granted certiorari in two affirmative action cases: Students for Fair Admission v. Harvard College and Students for Fair Admission v. University of North Carolina.

Ensuring Best-Practice Election Integrity
The Democratic Party and many of the largest media insist there is no election fraud. Quite obviously, the purpose of this essay is not to teach my readers how to make election fraud work for them, but to emphasize that it is real, and sufficient to change election results, especially in those states whose election processes… Read more

Civil Forfeiture is a Corrupt and Evil Government Practice in America
There are two categories of property forfeitures, civil and criminal. Criminal forfeitures occur only after the person charged with a crime has been convicted. Then the seized property can forfeited to the government. Only civil forfeitures are within the scope of this essay. Ten Federal government agencies take part in the corrupt practice of civil forfeiture of property… Read more

Plea Bargaining offsets Justice and fills Prisons
In 1970, the United States had incarceration rates similar to the other Western democracies. Thereafter, the rate exploded in the US while the rest of the comparable countries stayed consistent with changes in population. Today, the US leads the world with 2.2 million people incarcerated, more than anywhere else. Per capita our rate is 830 for every… Read more

The Supreme Court SHALL Overturn Roe v. Wade
The Constitution: There is great hesitation by current Justices to say prior justices of the Court got something wrong, but if it is wrong and it must be corrected! Since the run-up to the Civil War, the Supreme Court has made some egregiously wrong decisions. This instance dates from 1972. It is already established that Article One,… Read more

Courts Should Support Trump’s Claims of Executive Privilege
The media are still giving prominence to the January 6, attack upon the Capitol. When the House of Representatives wrote articles of impeachment against then former President Trump, they were sent to the Senate.

Layers of Public Health Laws lead to no Public Health Conclusions

The Jobs Conundrum from slow-down of the Pandemic
Economists point out that the jobs lost in the pandemic since January 2020, seventy-five percent have already been regained. The percent is unprecedented in the history of recessions.

This legislation only applied to federally-financed residential property or property participating in federal assistance programs. This Order ran its course during the next… Read more

The Reality of Public Choice Economics and Government Waste
Economics deals with human actions. Adam Smith introduced the idea that the butcher does not depend for bread on his table as a gift from the baker.

How much have you thought about Critical Race Theory?
Critical Race Theory has its origins as Critical Theory by the Italian Communist Party founder, Antonio Gramsci in 1920 when he was sent to prison, and like many others before and after, he used his time to create a guide for changing society; in Gramsci’s case, recruiting Italian workers to Communism. In the United States, Critical… Read more

Critical Race Theory is Irrelevant Today
The June 26, 2021 issue of The Washington Post contains a column by Colbert I. King, a regular Post columnist.

Americas Freedom to Reject Intellectualism
I took a college history course called “American Intellectual History” and was embarrassed to be lectured that Americans were thought by European intellectuals as not having any intellectuals worthy of mention. I recall learning Mark Twain intended that A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s Court was a satire upon America’s lack of “Humanist” intellectual interest. America’s first cluster of… Read more

Understanding what Democratic Progressivism is Leading to in America
Thesis No. One:The United States of America was established to be a Republic of Virtue, by which is meant that the government was intended to be small, efficient and limited in scope.

The Truth about Falsely Stated GA Election Laws
Democrat Party professionals and liberal-controlled media has pilloried Georgia’s new election laws as examples of suppressing black and minority votes. The reason Georgia restated many of their election laws is because they found fraud in administering the 2020 elections by the Democratic Party in counties where their Party had supermajorities of voters. Below are Democrat Party claims of… Read more

There would be less Racism in the U.S., but for the Democratic Party and Public Schools Teachers
The nation’s focus on race as a systemic threat has now spread to most of the nation’s thousands of public schools. So too, has a concern about the idea that schools are promoting Critical Race Theory (“CRT”), a decades-old academic framework that examines how policies and the law perpetuate systemic racism. It holds in part that racism… Read more

Commentary on States’ Tightening their Election Laws
The United States has a long history of voting irregularities. Thomas Jefferson’s detractors claim Jefferson lost his first attempt at elective office because it was beneath his dignity to supply liquor at the polling place. Thereafter, Jefferson paid stand-ins to provide liquor for voters and poll watchers. For a contemporary view of elections running amuck, see my post… Read more

The US Government is a Greater Risk to the Economy than Climate
As an opening remark, the word “risk” is inapt in discussing climate change and its effect upon the economy. Risk is definable, and more importantly is measurable. “Uncertainty,” the appropriate word is not quantifiable, and the damage from uncertainty remains unknowable until it becomes certain. There is a large industry in the financial sector of US economy that… Read more

Does the Source of news make for Better Understanding?
There is a substantial difference in what one reads in the popular press versus what is written by independent columnists. The Washington Post is an example of the popular press that publishes news. Alternatively, syndicated columnists are independently published by a host of news outlets and more often explain policy. Which one you choose determines much of what you… Read more

Impeachment Journalism in the Media is not Comprehensive
The Democrats have again shown themselves to be a powerful political force, but whose community of “thinkers” is small and outclassed. They had the forethought to determine for themselves that former President Trump was eligible to be impeached, but failed to consider whether he was constitutionally eligible to be convicted. Nothing in their presentation indicates they gave… Read more

The Founding Fathers had Difficulty with Impeachment too.
The 1787 Constitutional Convention had as much difficulty coming to a conclusion about Impeachment as do the present day Congress and particularly the media. It is my opinion that the root cause of so much contradictory pronouncement is that Impeachment has an inherently too- powerful result. George Mason introduced Impeachment as a subject for the Convention to… Read more

Impeachment of Former President Trump
The House of Representatives has passed articles of Impeachment for President Trump and formally delivered them to the Senate. Thus, former President Trump has been impeached. The enactment of the articles and their delivery completes this part of the process. Even though delivered after the President’s term, he is still impeached, but that conclusion is not universally… Read more

It’s a Constitutional Republic!
The Constitution establishes sovereignty in the people, but in a republican structure, not a democracy. In keeping with the seventeenth century Enlightenment, the people as individuals have rights, and among them are to collectively establish a government and to specify its powers. The government thus formed would have had no other powers that preceded what the people gave… Read more
