Economist Milton Friedman said the promotion of bad policy requires two types of advocates. “Do-gooders,” he said, act in good faith but out of ignorance in promoting counterproductive policies. The second type are the “special interest” rent-seekers, those who stand to personally profit from the scheme. For economist Jonathan Gruber, the primary architect and intellectual […]
“You’ve got to be taught to hate…” (Oscar Hammerstein, “South Pacific”) The murder on Tuesday of five people and the serious wounding of several others while they were praying at a synagogue in Jerusalem is only the latest in a continuing pattern of violence and hatred directed against Israel and the Jewish people. It also […]
As Japanese Prime Minster Shinzo Abe has turned his country into a petri dish of Keynesian ideas, the trajectory of Japan’s economy has much to teach us about the wisdom of those policies. And although the warning sirens are blasting at the highest volumes imaginable, few economists can hear the alarm. (A longer version of this article […]
Did she ever get steamed up at a negative portrayal in the media — and there were many — then have a few drinks and call the reporters to give them angry editorial criticism? Sure she did. Often. And the time she became furious with her husband, Jay McMullen, and whipped an ashtray at his […]

These may not be the world’s stupidest criminals, but they are a close runner up. These jokers looking for a quick buck got quite the surprise: A group of thugs in Hartford, Alabama must have been expecting an “easy score” when they set upon a married couple who was returning home from a night out […]
This 98 year old veteran sure knew how to clean up well for his holiday, Veteran’s Day. This photo has gone viral and touched the hearts of many Americans: Americans nationwide reacted to a now-viral photo of a 98-year-old veteran who, too ill to attend the annual Veterans Day celebrations last week, asked that he […]
So apparently the American public must be fools, according to the liberal media. Check out the latest on #grubergate: This video perfectly encapsulates why the imbroglio surrounding Gruber’s comments has the potential to blow the debate over the Affordable Care Act wide open. For a law which enjoys a popularity rating of 37 percent, Obamacare […]
Being separated from a loved one is difficult, to say the least, especially when that person is in harm’s way and you know they might not come home. Military homecomings are emotional, because not only are you reunited with that person, but you finally know that they are safe — and one soldier was able […]
Ferguson protestors have been happy to break the law — looting, rioting, setting businesses on fire. Stealing is evidently fine when they do it, but now one of the Ferguson leaders is crying foul because her car was stolen. Elizabeth Vega is one of the Ferguson protest leaders. She protested at sports venues and attempted […]
Fresh from getting out of prison after serving a five year stint, this monster went about tracking down his estranged wife. Unfortunately for her family, he found them instead. He cold-bloodedly had the father and 15 year-old son lie on the floor. He then shot them both in the head, while the teenager begged for […]
Britain has officially gone whacked. They have taken political correctness to a whole new level, where their version of Big Brother is going door to door and telling people stuffed animals are racist. This woman says someone made a complaint to the police and I believe her. The police say they saw the doll in […]
Progressives have seized on observations of penguins engaging in homosexual deviancy as proof that it must be normal and healthy, bizarrely choosing wild animals as arbiters of propriety, normalcy, and morality. This has even inspired a children’s book that is used by government schools to brainwash little kids into embracing sexual perversion. Hopefully this revelation […]
To truly become fundamentally transformed into a population ideally suited to be ruled by the liberal masterminds who run the media and through it the government, we will have to shed all the characteristics in which Americans once took pride, including individual initiative. Bringing this about is a task too large for even the Lightworker […]
This is a clear violation of First Amendment rights – no doubt about it. I love how the principal got the school to lie and say that the request was under review. You can bet your boots that high school principal indeed told the young lady that a Christian club is illegal and not allowed. […]
Well, I needed that. Laughed till I cried. These boys remind me of my son when he was little and we told him to put the Legos in the tub – we meant the bucket. After putting all of them in the bathtub, he proudly came and told us. We laughed and laughed and it […]
These people are animals. Deeply disturbing doesn’t quite convey how horrific this is. Deviant physical and sexual assault on children by the very worst in humanity. Five adults committed the worst abuse against children that the DA had ever seen. You never know what really goes on behind closed doors in a home. This one […]
The death toll has now risen from four to five. As I understand it, four rabbis and a police officer were the victims – the courageous and selfless officer gave his life to stop the slaughter and killed the two Palestinian monsters as he was mortally wounded. He died later. There were over two dozen […]
Totally. And the Washington Post even uses a wonderful picture of steam, otherwise known as “water vapor”, to tell us how bad it is The moral issue of climate change The politics of selfishness was embraced enthusiastically last week by Sen. Mitch McConnell. In dismissing President Obama’s deal with China to reduce carbon emissions, the incoming […]
Many Liberals love Obamacare, as long as they aren’t the ones paying for it. Obama and Congressional Democrats (at least the ones in safe Districts who haven’t lost their seats) love it, because they, for the most part, aren’t using it themselves. Know who else really likes it? Big Insurance (Daily Caller) Critics charge Obamacare’s […]
President Obama is poised to show his “compassion” this week by granting work cards to an estimated five million illegal immigrants through an imperial executive order. As for the vast, untold number of law-abiding citizens whose identities have been stolen by foreign law-breakers, two words: Tough luck. Social Security card fraudsters have made out like […]
Control freaks want to run your life. They call themselves “public servants.” But whether student council president, environmental bureaucrat or member of Congress, most believe they know how to run your life better than you do. I admit I was once guilty of this kind of thinking. As a young consumer reporter, I researched what […]
The Democratic Party debates among presidential candidates — now slated to start in May or June of 2015 — pose a serious threat to Hillary’s candidacy. Her ability to suck up all the oxygen in the Democratic Party’s universe has succeeding in denying all but the most perfunctory coverage to her opponents. But the debates […]
This week, America held its collective breath as it waited on the grand jury indictment verdict for Officer Darren Wilson. Wilson, you’ll recall, had the misfortune to run into 6’5″, 289-lb. Michael Brown, an 18-year-old black man who had just finished strong-arm robbing a convenience store. Wilson pulled Brown over as he and his accomplice […]
The European Space Agency’s Rosetta project accomplished one of the most impressive scientific feats in our lifetime. They essentially moved a clunky machine from one speeding bullet onto another, by remote control, from 310 million miles away. It’s hoped this achievement will help usher in a new era of space exploration by teaching us how […]
PARIS — U.S. President Barack Obama was elected in 2008 as a politician, and he’s on pace to finish his presidency as one, rather than as the statesman many presumed he would become. As it currently stands, his accomplishments aren’t likely to remain historically memorable — except in the way that a natural disaster might […]
