  • 2024 Provides an Opportunity to Gauge America’s Intellect or Lack Thereof

    • No matter what direction you turn, you see we’re living in bizarro world. Whether it’s boys playing on girl’s sports teams, mutilation of children without parental consent, sanctioned teaching of racist principles in public schools, welcoming an unsustainable invasion of illegal aliens, or quality of life destruction based on unproven climate change assertions, our society has chosen masochistic self-destruction over common sense and self-preservation.

  • The Fed Squirms Between a Rock and a Hard Place

    • Burns displayed a fatal misunderstanding of the negative feedback loop inflation creates as it slowly permeates through the economy. Inflation comes in waves. The first shock wave always impacts raw materials. In the 1970s, it started with oil. In the 2020s, the pandemic created a labor shortage that impacted manufacturer’s ability to produce a variety of raw materials.

  • When Republicans Have the Trifecta, Their Record is Woeful

    • Unfortunately, when you look at how Congress does business when they control both chambers, you see a pattern of Democrat aggression and Republican timidity. This is exactly why the Republican base embraces Trump and is generally dismissive of their representatives in Congress.
    For leftist Democrats, no initiative is too big. This includes packing the Supreme Court and eliminating the filibuster, which the radical wing of the party vigorously pursued in 2021. They came within one or two votes of accomplishing both goals, and the holdouts, Sinema and Manchin, were run out of the party.
    Meanwhile, even when they were in charge, Republicans couldn’t muster the votes to repeal Obamacare, a wildly unpopular healthcare program that degraded the quality of care and raised costs. The lack of legislative accomplishments in the two-year period when Republicans controlled Congress under Trump is disgraceful.
