Socialist Venezuela Runs Out of Money to Print Money

Posted on by Dave Blount

One nice thing about letting Big Government run amok is that when statists have killed the goose that lays the golden eggs by taxing and regulating until the economy no longer produces wealth to confiscate, they can always just print money — or maybe not: The world’s most renowned banknotes, coins and paper printing house, […]

Following Surrender to Moonbats, University of Missouri Starts Closing Dorms

Posted on by Dave Blount

A coward is often less safe than a hero. For example, consider the craven educrats running the University of Missouri.

Big Government Wants to Control Your IRA

Posted on by Dave Blount

Unlike W, Obama is not coasting passively through his final time in office. On the contrary, he is squeezing every ounce of tyranny he can get from each day: The Department of Labor says its so-called fiduciary rule will make financial advisers act in the best interests of clients. What Labor doesn’t say is that […]

 

Now Global Warming Is Bad Because It Will Reduce Human Reproduction

Posted on by Dave Blount

According to progressive ideology, human reproduction is a bad thing, because it theoretically causes global warming. But now we learn that global warming is a bad thing, because it will theoretically reduce human reproduction: Temperature impacts the sexual patterns of human beings for two reasons, according to Professor [Alan] Barreca [of Tulane]. One reason he […]

 

Kentucky Derby Is Now Deemed to Be Racist

Posted on by Dave Blount

The explicit purpose of moonbattery (a.k.a. cultural Marxism, critical theory, political correctness) is to erase our civilization. One tactic for achieving this is to establish part of our culture as “racist” and therefore intolerable. This Racist Zone will continue to be steadily expanded, until it has engulfed every aspect of society. Already the spreading gangrene […]

 

Professor John McAdams Faces Firing for Complaining About Ideological Intolerance

Posted on by Dave Blount

People snigger when you remind them that universities were once considered free marketplaces of ideas. Now that the Left has achieved hegemony in academia, they are the polar opposite of free. The persecution of thought criminal John McAdams at Marquette University is illustrative: In November 2014 an undergraduate approached philosophy instructor and PhD candidate Cheryl […]

 

Washington Post Writer Resolves to Raise Her Cats Gender Neutral

Posted on by Dave Blount

As moonbattery results in ever fewer Americans having children (due to the effects of feminism, abortion, high taxes, neurotic environmental concerns, racial self-hatred, the assault on marriage, the normalization and promotion of sexual perversion, and outright discouragement by leftist social engineers), more will have to give thought to a pressing question raised by Lauren Taylor […]

 

Activist’s Home Raided by Authorities After He Made Videos Exposing Planned Parenthood

Posted on by Dave Blount

The Center for Medical Progress videos exposing the corruption and depravity that prevail at lavishly taxpayer-funded Planned Parenthood, specifically regarding the marketing of body parts harvested from babies, were a setback for the abortion industry and those who promote it for ideological reasons.

White House Bleats About Death by “Extreme Heat” as Snowstorms Hit in April

Posted on by Dave Blount

The disconnect between Obama’s world of leftist ideology and the objective reality outside his castle is becoming comically extreme: The White House published a report Monday warning that “extreme heat can be expected to cause an increase in the number of premature deaths”–the same day the National Weather Service issued winter weather advisories for April […]

 

Played for Chumps by Trump

Posted on by Dave Blount

Maybe “I love the poorly educated” was taken out of context. But not this: “And you’ll find that when you become very successful, the people that you will like best are the people that are less successful than you, because when you go to a table you can tell them all of these wonderful stories, […]

 

Campus Radicals Bully Library of Congress Into Making Subject Headings Less Useful but More Politically Correct

Posted on by Dave Blount

As adolescent campus radicals have known for at least a generation now, push the authorities and they will move — so long as you push them to the left. This has been extended beyond the liberal educrats running higher education to the liberal bureaucrats running the federal government: The Library of Congress is nixing the […]

 

What’s the Matter With Ted Cruz?

Posted on by Dave Blount

Andrew Klavan tries and fails to figure out why Republicans don’t rally behind the best candidate their party has produced since Ronald Reagan: Am I missing something about Ted Cruz? The Texas senator seems to me to be the one true conservative left in the presidential race, and the most true conservative who was ever […]

 

Transsexual Sues Barbershop

Posted on by Dave Blount

No matter what happens with transgender people, if they don’t like it, it is discrimination and grounds for them to sue: A transgender man is suing a Southern California barbershop that allegedly refused to cut his hair after the barber identified him as a woman. Rose Trevis said Hawleywood’s barbershop in Long Beach refused him […]

 

Hate Hoax: Seattle Africatown Center Graffiti

Posted on by Dave Blount

The Trump campaign could breathe new life into the racial grievance industry, given the Donald’s appeal to white supremacists.

Insider Confirms: Trump Campaign Was Never Intended to Go This Far

Posted on by Dave Blount

Not even Donald Trump was cynical and/or egotistical enough to believe that people would choose him in the primaries over a genuine conservative rebel like Ted Cruz. His candidacy is a publicity stunt that got out of hand when everyone involved underestimated the destructive power of nihilistic rage. Former top Trump strategist Stephanie Cegielski shares […]

 

Trump Open to Declaring War on China

Posted on by Dave Blount

Sure she pounds on him in head-to-head matchups, but given Shrillary’s deepening legal troubles, Donald Trump could conceivably become president. If this doesn’t scare you, it should: Trump said on Saturday that his foreign policy would be “unpredictable” in order to maintain leverage over other countries. In an interview with The New York Times, Trump […]

 

Supreme Court Is Last Hope for Little Sisters of the Poor

Posted on by Dave Blount

The loss of Antonin Scalia may already be taking its toll on religious liberty: The Obama administration has been unrelenting in its fight to force a group of Catholic nuns to violate their beliefs and pay for abortion-causing drugs and contraception, arguing that they are essential health care services. On Wednesday, the U.S. Supreme Court […]
