The Fallacy of Negative Interest Rates

The theory is that a negative interest rate will make people more likely to spend their cash if it isn’t earning them an income. The opposite is true. People saving for their senior years have some idea of what they will need to live on. They base their current savings level on the income they …

The ant and the grasshopper

The Ant and Grasshopper. In Democrat land. The ant works hard all summer long while the grasshopper plays in the sun. Come the winter the ant has a nice warm home and plenty of food while the grasshopper shivers and starves. The grasshopper calls a press conference. America is aghast that this poor grasshopper should …

Jacob Blake

Part of the outrage over the Jacob Blake shooting is caused by the deliberate omission of the facts of the case. Makes it a much better story to whip up the masses. The reason the police were there in the first place is because they had been called by his former girlfriend. There was an …

Congress votes $25 billion for the Post Office

Claiming that Donald Trump is throttling the US Post Office to suppress mail-in votes Congress has voted $25 billion for the post office. https://www.washingtonpost.com/powerpost/house-poised-to-pass-bill-to-boost-us-postal-service-amid-trump-attacks/2020/08/21/c9196fa8-e3c6-11ea-8181-606e603bb1c4_story.html $25 billion.

Biden vs Trump

There’s only one issue that matters over the next few years. The others pall into insignificance. It concerns the whole free world. It’s China’s attempt to conquer and bully the entire world. Biden is in their thrall. As has been every slack-jawed president since Nixon. Four hundred years ago China was the largest economy in …

Washington Post, New York Times, Wall Street Journal

The Washington Post is read by people who think they run the country. The New York Times by people who think they SHOULD run the country. The Wall Street Journal by those who actually DO run the country.

Ghislaine Maxwell, Jeffrey Epstein, Virginia Giuffre

Pedophilia is disgusting. When one hears of people abusing small children, even their own, my instinct is they have no right to live. No doubt that Epstein was a sleaze. And I wouldn’t have wanted my own teenage daughter anywhere near him. However. This isn’t what happened here. These were sexually active young women who …

Please wear your mask in enclosed public spaces

Are masks effective?I don’t live in the USA but in a tiny Caribbean island. Climate is similar to Miami and we have widespread air conditioning.Our governments closed our airport in mid-March, thus destroying our tourism business and throwing thousands out of work, We did have repatriation flights for returning locals. But they were taken straight …

Gender fluid? WTF

I always considered myself to be a fairly easygoing and tolerant person. I really don’t care if some man wants to marry another man or woman marry a woman.  But that is no longer enough. To avoid being condemned I must now believe that a person born with a penis is identical to a person …

Black Lives Matter. But not in Chicago

“Black Lives Matter.” Yes they do. But it is black on black crime that is the greatest cause of death of young black people. Not murderous acts by odious white cops. This is the low hanging fruit for those who truly care about black lives. Work in those communities for better education, contraception rather than …
