Now Progressives are Sneering at Economics

Who knew? Progressive economists are now attacking economics. According to Burton Abrams "progressives in the Democrat Party, backed… by left- wing sociologists and political scientists": deny basic economic principles and theory. They deny that incentives matter, that markets work better than government dictates, that scarcity and opportunity costs exist, that the laws of supply and demand are operative, that benefit-cost analyses have merit, and that economic efficiency makes consumers and producers better off. Okay, fine. So how do progressive experience things? They rely heavily on the vaguely defined concepts of diversity, equity, and inclusion. In other words, ...

Jeffrey Epstein’s newly-revealed private calendar showed scheduled meetings with the current CIA director, a college president and attorney who served in the Obama administration, according to a report published by The Wall Street Journal on Sunday. The WSJ obtained new documents, which showed planned meetings with several prominent individuals, including now-CIA Director William Burns, Bard College president Leon Botstein, Obama White House counsel Kathryn Ruemmler and professor Noam Chomsky.

Another One Down? First Republic Bank Fails, FDIC Sells It to JP Morgan

It was only 6 weeks ago when the nation was briefly paralyzed with concern as we watched three banks go under, with their deposits under FDIC control. At the time, I wrote that one of the next banks to fail could be First Republic Bank. And today may be the day that it does unless there’s a dramatic last- minute save. If it does fail, it will be the second-largest bank failure in American history. Click for Full Text!
David Hume's Warning on Forever Wars

Propaganda is checked by open challenge and spirited disputation. But it is hard to discuss one’s own government at war, because you might be treated as an apologist of the enemy, or even an outright enemy yourself. Propaganda is perhaps never worse than at times of war. That is when government is most likely to destroy precious domestic freedoms. As for the US government nowadays and its conduct of military and foreign interventions, I daresay I rather doubt its wisdom and virtue. On the war in Ukraine and related issues, I find myself persuaded by such voices as John Mearsheimer, the gentlemen of The Duran, and the sages at Andrew Napolitano’s YouTube channel.

Biden’s housing financing could lead to economic disaster

Even as the second, third, and fourth largest bank failures in U.S. history have unnerved financial markets in the past two months, the Biden administration keeps adding more stressors to the mix. Two new stressors come courtesy of the Federal Housing Finance Authority. One is already receiving copious criticism, but the other, more technical one has gone largely unnoticed. Both are misguided and should be reversed – along with a plethora of other regulatory and executive actions that are endangering the national economy. Click for Full Text!

Today, The Economist is suggesting that mining companies begin the same absorption process. Lauding the agenda as the creation of a super commodities group or “Cartel”, the industry includes green metals as well as coal and other minerals such as lithium. Monopolies are the end goal. Within this western trend, newly crowned King Charles has altered his coronation to add a ‘pledge’ that all Brits are called to recite in unison proclaiming their obedience to the King. Not to the Land. Not to the Constitution. But to Charles the man who intends to expand his Kingship duties so as to fully indoctrinate the British Empire that was and isn’t. Hail Britain’s ...
Biden’s Bad Bet: How Regulation Kills Economic Growth

The US economy grew at an annualized rate of just 1.1 percent in the last quarter. Most analysts expected a figure in the neighborhood of 2.0 percent. Historically, 2.5 to 3.0 percent was considered feasible and healthy. We have a lot of ground to make up. Weak growth and high inflation call to mind the economic woes of the 1970s. But things aren’t that dire yet. The misery index — the sum of the unemployment and inflation rates — peaked in mid-1980 at 21.92. Right now it’s 8.48, thanks to an unusually strong labor market. But we shouldn’t be satisfied with “less bad than the Carter era.” We need to rev up America’s economic engine to unleash ...

A Christian woman who was a mayoral candidate in London last year has won substantial damages in an unfair discrimination lawsuit she filed after her employer fired her for airing her belief that marriage should be between a man and a woman. Maureen Martin’s employer, London & Quadrant Housing Trust (L&Q), fired her because of her view on marriage. She sued L&Q for unfair dismissal, as well as harassment and discrimination.

Biden Can Close the Extrajudicial Prison at Guantánamo

Last week, Said bin Brahim bin Umran Bakush was released from detention at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba, and returned to Algeria, his home country. Suspected of being a low-level fighter for Al Qaeda, at age 52 he was in his 21st year of detention in the prison, had no charges filed against him and stopped speaking to lawyers about five years ago. Mr. Bakush’s release leaves 30 men, of the 780 held there over the years since 2002, still imprisoned at the U.S. naval base whose name has become synonymous with American shame. President Biden said at the outset of his administration that he would seek to have the detention center closed, and he directed the Defense Department to study how ...

Having just passed my fiftieth birthday, I am well into adulthood. I noticed several years ago that I not only look but also behave like my father. My hands are an excellent example. The shape of my fingers resembles his, as do my fingernails and wrinkles. Even more interesting is that when driving, I place my hands on the steering wheel in the same places he did. This happened naturally since he was deceased before I learned to drive. There are a myriad of other examples in both appearance and behavior. The point is that beyond my birth certificate, there is evidence that I am my father’s son. Jesus’ connection to the Father is of paramount importance in the Gospel reading. ...

President Biden has announced he will run for a second term in 2024. Peter Schiff recently appeared on the Ingraham Angle on Fox News to talk about what will happen if we keep going down the Biden road. In a nutshell, Peter said we can’t afford to let Biden “finish the job.” Peter opened the interview by saying he couldn’t help but laugh as Laura Ingraham played clips of Biden administration shills touting all of the president’s “accomplishments.” Click for Full Text!
Joe Biden More Vulnerable in 2024 Primary Than Donald Trump Ever Was in 2020

The first two national polls of the declared 2024 Democratic presidential primary contest came out Thursday, and they already reveal an incumbent far more vulnerable to intraparty challenge than Donald Trump ever was in 2019–20. Environmental/vaccine activist Robert F. Kennedy Jr., no doubt benefiting from unusually high name recognition, polled at 21 percent in an Emerson College survey and 19 percent in a Fox News poll—both higher figures than any Trump challenger received at any time during the last presidential cycle. Also eye-opening were the results for spiritual guru and 2020 primary also-ran Marianne Williamson: 8 percent and 9 percent, respectively, after never once ...
Biden Hypocritically Slams Arrest of US Journalist in Russia But Pursues Assange

May 3, 2023, will mark the 30th anniversary of World Press Freedom Day, which the United Nations established to remind governments about the need to respect their commitment to freedom of the press. But as the Biden administration proclaims the centrality of press freedom globally, its hypocrisy in pursuing journalist and publisher Julian Assange is stunning. The Biden administration recently expressed outrage that Russia arrested journalist Evan Gershkovich of The Wall Street Journal, a United States citizen based in Moscow, for practicing journalism. Gershkovich is now incarcerated in Russia, facing espionage charges that could garner him 20 years in prison. His appeal to lift his ...

Rep. Michael McCaul (R-TX), chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, said Monday that future US support for Ukraine depends on Kyiv’s looming counteroffensive. “I think there’s going to be a lot riding on the line with this counteroffensive,” McCaul told Bloomberg. “If Ukraine is successful in the eyes of the American people and the world, I think it will be a game- changer for continued support. If they are not, that will also have an impact, in a negative way, though.” Click for Full Text!

Pennsylvania Treasurer Stacy Garrity leads a coalition of state financial officials pushing back against new federal mortgage fees they call “unconscionable.” “This new policy makes it more expensive for people with good credit to buy houses – and that’s absurd,” she said. “Americans who have built a good credit score and saved enough to make a strong down payment should not be penalized and forced to pay more on their mortgage every single month.” Click for Full Text!

Prayer. This gift from God is a beautiful and blissful reminder that He wants to have a conversation with you about everything in your life: the good, the bad, and the ugly. On the National Day of Prayer, set for the first Thursday of May, we pause and intentionally take time to come together as Christians, folding our hands in prayer for the world, the country, the state, our neighbors, and ourselves. If you don’t know what to pray, God gives all His people an easy prayer already: the Lord’s Prayer. Take time today to go through the introduction, first, second, and third petitions with this excerpt from Minute Messages and lift your voice to heaven with the rest of His beloved ...

According to Wikipedia: Gun control, or firearms regulation, is the set of laws or policies that regulate the manufacture, sale, transfer, possession, modification, or use of firearms by civilians. Most countries have a restrictive firearm guiding policy, with only a few being categorized as permissive. Jurisdictions that regulate access to firearms typically restrict access to only certain categories of firearms and then to restrict the categories of persons who will be granted a license to have access to a firearm. In some countries, such as the United States, gun control may be legislated at either a federal level or a local state level. Click for Full Text!

Virginia’s Republican Gov.

The Marine Corps is using two substitute ship classes to help the State Department evacuate people from conflict-ridden Sudan, which service leaders say is yet another reason the Navy should grant their request for more fast-deploying amphibious warships, U.S. Naval Institute News reported. The Navy does not have enough ships to operate an aircraft carrier group or amphibious readiness group in the Middle East, leaving the Marine Corps scrambling to find alternatives for a sea-based evacuation route, according to USNI News. On Monday, the Spearhead-class Expeditionary Fast Transport (EFT) USNS Brunswick sailed about 300 people from the Port of Sudan to Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, as they seek to ...
