Realpolitic versus Personal Destruction

It seems to be coming down to this…

POTUS is betting on a roaring economy which he will tie to his policies of reduced immigration, better trade deals, America First, cutting regulation and tax cuts for people and corporations.

The Progressives are counting on voters ignoring economics and personal wealth and placing diversity and social justice as the driving factors.

It seems even the dimwitted GOP  Senate has a glimmering of which one is the winning hand.

Trump has jobs and the flag, the Progs have the Media and Mueller.

If the Dems had a brain, they would accelerate the economy by joining in, such that by 2020 everyone feels well off and would assume the economy is fixed. Then they can turn to the important stuff like … Continue reading

Behind Bars / Satisfaction

About a month ago our truck was emptied of any portable valuables, including a very nice Kahr CM40 pocket pistol. Since then, after application of a couple thousand bucks, I’ve replaced all the stolen items. Oddly, he even took a spare set of keys to our fifth wheel, so that necessitated changing all the locks. That alone was $700, because of course I have wireless entry. Then another $500 to set up a new security light dedicated to the truck, and $750 for a new wireless 8-camera security video system with 4TB of memory. I replaced the pistol with a new Smith and Wesson M&P Shield 40cal S&W pocket pistol with Crimson Trace designed into the frame. Sweet! Tomorrow, another $500 leaves my piggy bank to install an … Continue reading

Money in Information Theory:
Chapter Six of George Gilder’s The Scandal of Money

[See Copyright statements at bottom.]

<hr>Surprise is the beginning of wisdom. ~ David Gelernter

To grasp the fallacy of the reigning monetarist creed requires seeing that its baneful effects are not limited to inflation.

The point about bad money is not that it converges with the worth of the paper it is printed on. It is worse than that. Falsifying the information basis of all prices, it stultifies entrepreneurs, deceives savers, and fosters tyranny. With a near-zero-interest-rate policy, the Fed falsely zeroes out the cost of time.

Another good read at American Greatness

One way to really mess up a well oiled con game is to change the accepted rules of human behavior.

If your goals are  alien to their thinking, they will assume their own goals on you.  At that point, you control them.

“He can’t really want to improve the working class, there is no upside in it. All the donors want the working class screwed.”

“Life is like a box of tax cuts”

An (Additional) Eruption of Bimbos

Most recollect Hillary’s comment of “eruption of bimbos”. The nastiness and disdain heaped upon those unlucky ladies was monumental. Poor dears managed to be groped and even raped by Bill, then demonized for speaking up.

Now we suddenly seem to be suddenly watching as member after member of the Left is unmasked as a predator of the lowest form. I wouldn’t even be surprised if Chuck Schumer was next. What started with a really low life – Harvey – has spread that label to the likes of Conyers, Lauer, Franken, Rose, – even Garrison Kiellor. ?Who will come up tomorrow.

Nancy Pelosi “stood by” Conyers because he was “such an icon”. Now, merely days later, she is calling for him to resign. His lawyer says hell no, but … Continue reading
