This Is Worth Your While. Read Now and Yell “Damn Right” as Required.
Another chapter in the saga and the caravan moves on.
The true enemy in the way of rebuilding America is now known and has shown who they are.
For eight months the Media, the Deep state , the Judiciary and the Globalist funders have tried to get a killshot on the threat.
They know as the economy surges with low energy prices, manufacturing returns and small business invests in growth the inexorable boom will become harder to ignore.
The source of revenue for Russia, Iran and other bad actors will continue to dry up.

Meanwhile, the Globalists continue to choose the Government run healthcare hill to die … Continue reading

I mean it was a real honker. But all my life, I’d identified as Rob Lowe. I confessed this to my C.O. and was able to put in for a nose job paid for by the military.

If you are too confused in your head to … Continue reading
I’ve been reading Nassim Taleb’s(Black Swan guy) books lately, as well as some of the work of Kahneman & Tversky (behavioral economics guys). They have lots of interesting ideas that apply to economics but also more broadly to all interactions among humans, including politics.
Here’s an outline of the two related topics I wanted to talk about and get everyone’s thoughts:
Assumption of rational actors (Nassim Taleb)
Intuitive vs. rational thinking (Daniel Kahneman)
Please see comment below for a discussion of the figures.

I see the finely bred true conservatives in the old neighborhood are still the same as ever.
I defer to Groucho Marx on club membership.
