A Texas county attorney has described the federal government in a way that is both insightful and destined for greatness. He said, "That bunch has a real corner on stupid." Tom Edwards was talking about the Federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms and Explosives, regarding a fire ATF agents accidentally set in Motley County, Texas, practicing detonations in an area locally designated no-burn. The county attorney is now helping Texans whose property was destroyed to apply for damages from the federal government. The federal government has always had a real corner on stupid. In the early 1800s, and up through the 1860s, discussion about states going their own way and ...
'Why Did Police Kill My Dad?'

"Mom, was my dad a bad guy?" four-year-old Joel Guerena plaintively asked his mother Vanessa after her husband, 26-year-old Jose, was killed in a withering barrage of gunfire during a SWAT invasion of their home. "They killed my dad! Police killed my dad! Why? What did my dad do?" To the extent the question posed by that traumatized child dealt with a moral justification for the killing, a good and sufficient answer would be: "Nothing." Jose Guerena was killed because he had the temerity to defend his family from a criminal assault carried out by armed strangers. When the stormtroopers arrived shortly after 9:00 a.m. on May 5, Jose had just surrendered to ...
Gasoline at 20 Cents a Gallon (in Ashland Oregon)

Sign at Ashland, Oregon station. (Thanks to Katcha Sanderson for the photo.) Two Roosevelt dimes contain 0.14468 oz of silver. If gas costs $4 in FRNs, then the implicit price of silver that makes $4 equivalent to 0.14468 oz of silver is $27.65 per ounce. So, this price seems roughly in the ballpark. But, if we take $35, which is nearer today’s silver’s price, then the implied price of gasoline is $5.06, which is steep. At any price less than $5.06, I’d hold on to the dimes and use FRNs. One has to be careful about these things. One also needs a conversion table. This could be sold as an application on a handheld device. I’m giving away a profitable idea here. The device ...

Transparency and accountability in government advocates were elated in September 2006 when President George W. Bush signed into law the Financial Accountability and Transparency Act that established USASpending.gov, a Google-like searchable database to put most federal spending within a few mouse clicks of anybody with an Internet connection. By the time Bush left office, USASpending.gov was up and running and provided a serviceable tool for accessing billions of bytes about where Washington politicians are spending trillions of tax dollars. But in January 2009 when President Obama and members of his administration came into office, they saw USASpending.gov as a potential propaganda tool ...

WASHINGTON -- Business leaders and Republican politicians Tuesday accused President Obama of punishing GOP states by trying to block Boeing from opening a major aircraft plant in South Carolina. The Democratic chairman of a key Senate committee fired back, charging Republicans with launching an "assault on the middle class" by impeding enforcement of federal labor laws. S.C. Gov. Nikki Haley said all governors and state leaders should be alarmed by the National Labor Relations Board's move to compel Boeing to build a second 787 Dreamliner factory at its current hub in Everett, Wash. "This issue may have started in South Carolina, but we want to make sure it never ...

Obama's Tax Credits Blamed for Continuing Housing Crisis

President Barack Obama’s tax credits program for home buyers is the main reason the housing market is still in crisis, economic blogger Megan McArdle says. “All the Housing and Urban Development Department’s TCAP program did was distort the market by pulling demand forward from future years,” McArdle writes in The Atlantic. A new report from Zillow.com says home prices fell another 3 percent in the first quarter of 2011. Zillow pushed back its prediction of when the housing market will hit bottom from “the end of 2011” to “2012 at the earliest.” In a few markets such as Washington, D.C., the program caused prices to rise as a lot of buyers were ...

Presidential and local emergency messages as well as Amber Alerts would appear on cell phones equipped with special chips and software. The Federal Communications Commission and the Federal Emergency Management Agency said the system would also warn about terrorist attacks and natural disasters.

On August 15, 1971, a Sunday, President Nixon unilaterally suspended the last traces of the gold standard. He "closed the gold window" on his own authority. From that time on, no government or central bank has been able to exchange dollars for Treasury gold at a fixed price. Nixon broke the Bretton Woods agreement of 1944. He broke the nation's word. He cheated. That was his way. Ever since that day, American monetary policy has been Nixonomics. Eight months earlier, he had announced his conversion to Keynesianism. This passage is from the amazingly good documentary on PBS, "Commanding Heights." For one thing, whatever the effects of the Vietnam War on the ...

Democrats Announce New Assault On Small Business Lurita Doan It's déjà vu all over again. Democrats in congress have re-introduced a small business –jobs bill that has no hope of helping small business. Pandering to labor union interests, filled with Democrats’ flawed understanding of what creates private sector jobs, and crammed full of recycled regulations from the failed Waxman-Markey Energy bill, H.R. 870 is dangerous legislation that uses buzz words rather than sound business principles to encourage small business growth and job creation. The legislation, thinly disguised as a jobs creation bill, panders to the tired, failed policies of Democrats’ ...

Perhaps you had heard that the unemployment rate in the United States has been going down and you were planning to start sending out resumes again. Well, unfortunately it is not "morning in America" again. Some really depressing jobs numbers were just released. The number of Americans applying for unemployment benefits skyrocketed last week to the highest level that we have seen in 8 months. Also, according to a new poll more American workers say that their companies are getting rid of workers than say that their companies are hiring more workers. So feel free to start mailing out thousands of resumes once again - just don't expect better results. Tens of millions of ...

Pieczenik cannot be dismissed as a “conspiracy theorist”.

Obama Must Challenge Utah Immigration Law by Rep. Lamar Smith, 05/05/2011 Last year, the Obama administration sued Arizona over its law that was designed merely to assist the federal government in the enforcement of immigration laws. To date, however, the administration has been silent on a new Utah law, even though it blatantly undermines federal immigration law. The Utah immigration law creates a guest worker program for illegal immigrants who have lived or worked in the state before May 10, 2011. Illegal immigrants who become guest workers can then obtain “immediate family” permits for their spouses or unmarried children under the age of 21 who are also illegal immigrants. ...

The US government’s bin Laden story was so poorly crafted that it did not last 48 hours before being fundamentally altered. Indeed, the new story put out on Tuesday by White House press secretary Jay Carney bears little resemblance to the original Sunday evening story. The fierce firefight did not occur. Osama bin Laden did not hide behind a woman. Indeed, bin Laden, Carney said, “was not armed.” The firefight story was instantly suspicious as not a single SEAL got a scratch, despite being up against al Qaeda, described by former Pentagon chief Donald Rumsfeld as “the most dangerous, best-trained, vicious killers on the face of the earth.” Every original story ...

Are we on the verge of a dollar collapse? Don't believe the skeptics. The truth is that there is no currency in the world that is stronger than the old greenback. The U.S. dollar is the reserve currency of the world. Virtually all of the nations on the face of the earth use it for trading and they always will. Why? Because the U.S. dollar is awesome. No currency on earth can compete with our awesomeness. So what that the dollar hit a new all-time record low against the Swiss franc today? Do you really want to move over with the Swissies and eat chocolate and make watches? No, you want to live in the land of American Idol, the NFL and apple pie - the good old USA.

The Obama administration has photographs of Osama bin Laden’s dead body and officials are debating what to do with them and whether they should be released to the public, officials tell ABC News. “There’s no doubt it’s him,” says a US official who has seen the pictures and also reminds us that OBL was 6’4”. The argument for releasing them: to ensure that the public knows and can appreciate that he's dead. There is of course skepticism throughout the world that the US government claim that it killed bin Laden is true. The argument against releasing the pictures: they’re gruesome. He has a massive head wound above his left eye where he took ...

Adventures in the Climate Trade By Norman Rogers Global warming, now called climate change, is a big industry with academic and commercial branches. One way or another the government provides the money to keep it in business. The academic side supports thousands of scientific workers churning out some good science larded with lots of junk science. The commercial side is busy turning out tank cars filled with corn ethanol and covering the landscape with windmills. Nobody would be doing any of this without government subsidies and mandates. A recent example of how the geniuses in Washington direct policy is the loaning of hundreds of millions to electric car companies like Tesla. Tesla is ...

Connecticut Governor: Pass State Budget Without Union Concessions by Dr. Susan Berry Even as other liberal states face the music of unfunded union pensions and benefits, Connecticut’s governor plans to do things his way. Democrat Governor Dannel Malloy, and his majority in the state legislature, have agreed on a budget that will represent the largest tax hike in the history of the state. The fact that the constitution of the state of Connecticut requires a balanced budget also seems a minor detail to Malloy, who initially said he would balance his two-year, $40 billion budget by obtaining $2 billion in concessions from the state’s unions. The only problem is that Malloy wants ...
