The seeming incapacity of San Francisco politicians to get their acts together, clean up the city, stop small businesses from fleeing, and, possibly, recognize the sanctity of individual rights has led to the metropolis being the butt of numerous jokes. But it hasn’t been funny for a long, long time, and now, it’s gotten even more serious.
As if taking cues from…
It’s a classic motif, first made popular by W.W. Jacobs’ incredibly terrifying short tale, “The Monkey’s Paw”: Be careful with your wishes, for they could backfire. And that’s precisely what’s happened to a band of rabidly anti-Chick-Fil-A – or anti-chicken, or anti-Christian? – protesters at University of Kansas.
In a similar fashion to what MRCTV’s Ferlon Webster recently reported was…
There are very few good things one can say about Richard Nixon’s monstrous creation, the inaptly labeled “Environmental Protection Agency”. Since given bureaucratic life in 1970, it’s continuing line of edicts and fines have shut down businesses, prevented others from starting, and seen people kill endangered animals rather than have government officials discover them and make their land…
If there’s one consistent trait Beto O’Rourke displays, it’s class. From his shameless use of a distraught El Paso Wal Mart employee as a camera prop to show how much he “cares”, to his “of the people” polyglot adoption of an Hispanic nickname -- even though he’s not Hispanic and his real name is Robert -- it’s been nothing but an integrity show anytime one tunes in.
But this time, Beto…
One of the oft-heard protestations statists offer when they attempt to debate folks who are pro-liberty is: “Who’ll build the roads?”
The fundamental answer lies in history, but we’ll dive into that shortly. First, it’s worthwhile and fun to address this contemporary assumption that, somehow, the poorly managed, crowded, often dangerous, extremely expensive, government roads are the best we can…
Since 1986, Burning Man, the most independent of “indie” camping-music-anything-goes festivals in the US, has grown from a guy and some friends burning an eight-foot tall wooden effigy of a man just outside San Francisco, to a gathering in Nevada’s bleak landscape of the Black Rock Desert that attracts a hundred thousand attendees, advertisers, incredible engineering and costumes, and, now……
If one didn’t know better, he or she might suspect Liz Warren’s advisors are trolling her.
Just released on her sleep-inducing Twitter feed is a brief video pushing an “economic plan” that, without a hint of irony, she’s calling “Economic Patriotism” (this is also typically known as fascism when put into practice by government diktat), and in it, within the first fifteen seconds, she commits…
On Monday, Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT) put a different spin on his collectivism.
This time, writing in the dusty “Columbia Journalism Review”, he added a hearty dose of fascist ideology to his socialism – all to “save” journalism.
Hey, nothing says “free speech” like government control of social media and government favoritism showered on certain kinds of “journalism”!
Bernie’s worried…
Keen automobile expert Eric Peters recently sounded the alarm to a bill about which many Americans are unaware, and the information and its ramifications are even more disturbing than the tortured title of the bill.
Representatives Peter King (R-NY) and Jan Schakowsly (D-IL) recently tried to jump-start the Helping Overcome Trauma for Children Alone in Rear Seats -- or “HOTCARS” -- Act.
Yes, “…
“You’ve come a long way, baby.”
That was the annoying mid-‘70s slogan a cigarette company plastered all over magazines along with stilted, overly-posed shots of “Modern Urban American Women” grinning far too wide to be human while in gleeful mid-action, flouncing in their size-zero polyester slacks and “giving it to the man” by smoking slim cigarettes that complimented their seemingly care-…
