I am out of words.

There is no reconciliation possible.

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”

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 →

I am finding that the American Elite Class seems to be following some very bad advice or needs new writers.

After losing the executive, their reaction has been to throw a tantrum, support riots in the streets, wear  funny hats, call everyone a racist in the opening, middle and closing of every paragraph, destroy the NFL, attack the police, offer cowardice in the face of people trying to kill us, refuse to pass legislation and more general negative activity.

They then top it off with an exposure of just how sleazy and slimy most of their political and celebrity icons are, how casually they use the sons and daughters of America as sexual playthings.

They have made normals question the value of higher education for the exorbitant cost, … Continue reading →

The older I get, the more sentimental I become about Christmas. Grandchildren do that to you, as well as sorting through memories of many prior seasons. Check out the White House video of the Christmas decorations released on Melania’s twitter feed. https://twitter.com/twitter/statuses/935147767726448640

Very professional production values, and I think very well done.

No Mao Tse Tung tree ornaments, no social justice holiday messages, just the basic sights that grab the visual cortex and bypass cynicism for a pluck of the heartstrings.

I have this feeling of steady and quiet progress, enforcing immigration laws, actually talking about chain migration and ending it, school choice quietly moving forward, state department slowly turning, tax cuts moving to pro growth, a sensible manufacturing and energy direction moving into place.

I … Continue reading →

Apropos your post about decorating in oilskins.

I am so glad we elected the bumbling fool the media portrays.

It must just be luck that he needs the tax cut passed and the handful of preening clowns in the Senate in his own party have just enough to block him.

Then I read things like this:

https://www.newsmax.com/Newsfront/President-Donald-Trump-West-Virginia-China-83-7-billion-deal/2017/11/19/id/827076/

Now what possible deal could he have made for $83 billion in Chinese petrochem investment in infrastructure in West Virginia? Perhaps a senate vote from a Democrat for tax cuts?. I am sure some part of that $83 billion has Manchin’s name on it somewhere.

Now I wonder what other stuff he brought home for red states with blue senators?

So, folks, the sleazy big money dealing politics can be used by the GOPe to keep their power … Continue reading →
