Wage and Price Controls Are Not the Answer to Inflation

Prominent New York Times economic columnist Paul Krugman has done it again. Standing against accepted principles in economics, he comes out in favor of universal wage and price controls. Price controls have been thoroughly debunked by history and economic theory. In fact, one of the first lessons in a standard freshman introductory microeconomics class is explaining how controls on prices (and wages, hereinafter, just “price controls”) cause shortages and surpluses. Whenever a price is set below or above a market clearing price, it creates an imbalance between quantities demanded and supplied, leading to either a shortage or a surplus of the commodity in question, whether it is ...

“At present, science has no satisfactory answer to the question of the origin of life on the earth. Perhaps the appearance of life on the earth is a miracle. Scientists are reluctant to accept that view, but their choices are limited: either life was created on the earth by the will of a being outside the grasp of scientific understanding, or it evolved on our planet spontaneously, through chemical reactions occurring in nonliving matter lying on the surface of the planet. The first theory places the question of the origin of life beyond the reach of scientific inquiry. It is a statement of faith in the power of a Supreme Being not subject to the laws of science. The second theory is ...

On January 3, Jordan Peterson used his recently-reinstated Twitter account to alert the world of a new development in his seemingly-endless battle with mainstream institutions. “The Ontario College of Psychologists has demanded that I submit myself to mandatory social-media communication retraining with their experts for, among other crimes, retweeting Pierre Poilievre and criticizing Justin Trudeau and his political allies,” Peterson wrote.

Did the Fourteenth Amendment Alter the Meaning of the Second Amendment?

0 Comments
When proposing the Fourteenth Amendment to Congress in 1866, Senator Jacob Howard referred to “the personal rights guaranteed and secured by the first eight amendments of the Constitution; such as freedom of speech and of the press; ... the right to keep and bear arms....” He averred that “the great object” of the amendment was “to restrain the power of the States and compel them at all times to respect these great fundamental guarantees.” The design was not to change the nature of the rights, but to prevent the states from violating them. The Second Amendment was ratified in 1791, and the Fourteenth Amendment was ratified in 1868. The Supreme Court stated in ...

Old Testament: Micah 6:1-8 (Epiphany 4: Series A)
Post Date: 2023-01-15 17:53:52 by Charles_Byrd

Our Old Testament text for Epiphany 4 is certainly a challenge. It is tricky because there is no Gospel in our text whatsoever. Micah 6:1-8 is an accusing message of Micah who is issuing a warning and providing an explicit opportunity for people to do the right thing in order to please the Lord. This pericope is an “elaborate representation of a legal case of “Yahweh verses Israel,” in which God brings a grievance against His people.”[1] Click for Full Text!

Illinois governor eagerly signs pro-abortion bill that “greenlights enhanced abortion protections”

It was just a formality—Illinois’ Democrat Gov. JB Pritzker was an eager supporter—but today he signed into law the radically pro-abortion “Patient and Provider Protection Act” which “granted additional protections to those seeking abortions ” in the state. “State lawmakers approved the bill on Tuesday,” Chip Brewster wrote “which, among other items,” would “shield reproductive care patients and providers from legal action originating across state lines.” Click for Full Text!

Discovery of More Classified Records Raises Questions Over Biden’s Handling of Documents

President Biden’s aides have found a new batch of classified documents at a second location associated with Mr. Biden, a person familiar with the situation said on Wednesday. It was the second such disclosure in three days, and it was sure to intensify Republican attacks. Republicans reveled in the new disclosures, accusing Mr. Biden of hypocrisy in calling former President Donald J. Trump irresponsible for hoarding sensitive documents at his private club and residence in Florida. This week, the new Republican chairman of the House oversight committee issued a far-ranging request to the National Archives and Records Administration, which is supposed to receive all highly sensitive ...
Illinois Sheriff Won't Enforce Unconstitutional Gun Ban

A sheriff in southern Illinois has said the state's ban on the sale and possession of semiautomatic weapons, which was signed into law on Tuesday by Gov. J.B. Pritzker, is unconstitutional and that he won't enforce the ban. Edwards County Sheriff Darby Boewe posted a letter on the sheriff's department Facebook page that states, "Part of my duties that I accepted upon being sworn into office was to protect the rights to all of us in the Constitution. One of those rights enumerated is the right of the people to keep and bear arms provided under the Second Amendment." Click for Full Text!

Zhu Weiqun, a former senior Chinese Communist Party (CCP) official, revealed in an interview recently that the Beijing regime would be the ultimate arbiter of the successor of the present Dalai Lama, the leader of Tibetan Buddhism. In his remarks to the pro-CCP Global Times platform, Zhu said that after the passing of the present Dalai Lama, the CCP would take action to appoint a substitute who is in sync with Beijing’s ideology. The Times further quoted Zhu as saying that the CCP takeover of Buddhist authority would be to lend “support and guide the work of finding the successor of the 14th Dalai Lama,” and that the Beijing authorities would have to “finally ...

A new report compiled by the European Union’s Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S) is leading to the use of fainting couches all over the media. The report claims that 2022 was the fifth-hottest year on record and that the eight warmest years on record have occurred since 2014. According to the report, 2016 remains the hottest year ever recorded. Or, as The New York Times breathlessly reported: “The world remained firmly in warming’s grip last year, with extreme summer temperatures in Europe, China and elsewhere contributing to 2022 being the fifth-hottest year on record, European climate researchers said this week.” Click for Full Text!
Illinois Just Banned 'Assault Weapons' Because Their 'Only Intent' Is Mass Murder
Post Date: 2023-01-13 02:27:31 by Charles_Byrd

This week Illinois became the ninth state to ban "assault weapons." What are those? Gov. J.B. Pritzker's triumphant press release about the new law does not say, because the explanation would reveal the futility of trying to reduce gun violence through arbitrary restrictions that leave mass murderers and other criminals with plenty of equally lethal alternatives. In Pritzker's press release, Illinois House Speaker Chris Welch (D– Westchester) describes the guns targeted by H.B. 5471, a.k.a. the Protect Illinois Communities Act, as "weapons of war." That phrase suggests Welch is talking about selective-fire rifles like those carried by U.S. soldiers, which ...

The FTC Wants To Outlaw Noncompete Clauses, but Does It Have the Authority?
Post Date: 2023-01-13 02:23:58 by Charles_Byrd
0 Comments
The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) last week proposed a near-total ban on noncompete clauses for employees and contractors, calling them an "unfair method of competition." The rule would prohibit employers from enforcing existing noncompete clauses and making them a condition of future employment. If it can survive legal challenges, the FTC's ban on noncompetes would have a massive impact on the rights of employers and workers. The noncompete clause usually sets a time or geographical limit within which an employee is barred from working for her employer's competitors or starting her own competing business. While there is broad agreement that noncompetes have been abused ...
A Government by Experts

I have often thought that after Abraham Lincoln, Woodrow Wilson was our worst president. By worst is meant least faithful to the Constitution and most destructive of personal liberty. With the exception of Lincoln’s dictatorship — during which the federal government used violence to crush the states’ natural right to secede from a compact they had voluntarily joined, and instead brought about the systematic murder of 750,000 persons — America from its founding to the early part of the 20th century more or less enjoyed the James Madison model for the federal government.

U.S. Strategic Aim: Break and Dismember Russia; or Maintain U.S. Dollar Hegemony? Or a Muddled ‘Both’?
Post Date: 2023-01-13 02:18:57 by Charles_Byrd

A strategic aim would require a unitary purpose that could be succinctly outlined. It would require additionally a compelling clarity about the means by which the aim would be achieved and a coherent vision about what a successful outcome would actually look like. Winston Churchill described the aim of WW2 as the destruction of Germany. But this was ‘platitude’, and no strategy. Why was Germany to be destroyed? What interest did destroying such a major trading partner achieve? Was it to save the imperial trading system? The latter failed (after ‘Suez’) and Germany went into a deep recession. So, what was the end result intended to be? At one point, a completely ...
