The Great California Exodus

by Andrew Moran German author Franz Kafka wrote in The Metamorphosis, “There is an infinite amount of hope in the universe…but not for us.” The legendary writer might as well have been writing about the state of California, a progressive wasteland that is the personification of everything wrong with leftist orthodoxy. In the mid-nineteenth century, when it became a state, tens of thousands of people headed west. Today, those with a modicum of judgment and respect for their pocketbook are heading anywhere that is not named California, attempting to flee the incompetent mismanagement of Governor Gavin Newsom and his Democratic friends in Sacramento on every subject, from the economy to civil liberties. The Exodus: A Primer California may be the most populous st...

BIDEN AND HARRIS WILL LIKELY SUPPORT COURT PACKING

by the DC Patriot The Democrat party’s two candidates, Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, continue to not answer the question of whether their plan is to pack the Supreme Court. Court-packing is the only area where both Biden and Harris refuse to answer the question. Evidently, it’s easier to dodge the question than it is to come out 20-something days before the election and say, “yes, we are giving this serious consideration.” Biden was asked for the umpteenth time Thursday where he stands on the matter. For the umpteenth time, he refused to say. “You’ll know my opinion on court-packing when the election is over,” he told reporters, alleging that the issue is a distraction from Democrats’ false assertion that Judge Amy Coney Barrett’s confirmation to the Supreme Court is being “rushed...

Two Types of Terror in Michigan

by James Bovard #StopTrumpsTerror is one of the hottest trending topics on Twitter, with more than 90,000 tweets. Yesterday, the FBI announced the arrest of six people yesterday in a plot (perhaps government-hatched) to kidnap Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer and put her on trial for treason for destroying the state’s economy with the lockdowns she imposed. Seven other individuals were arrested and charged with violating Michigan’s anti-terrorism law. Trump had no connection to the plot, and at least one of the alleged plotters denounced Trump as a “tyrant” and “the enemy.” But Trump’s condemnations of lockdowns was enough for Gov. Whitmer to denounce Trump yesterday as “complicit” with the plotters. She derided Trump for spending “the past 7 mo...

Is Libertarianism Immoral?

by Laurence M. Vance “The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun,” said the wisest man who ever lived in the book of Ecclesiastes. Although King Solomon wasn’t writing about libertarianism, what he wrote certainly applies to critics of libertarianism. While doing some unrelated research on the history of conservatism, I noticed that conservatives, beginning in the 1960s (Frank S. Meyer, M. Stanton Evans, Russell Kirk, L. Brent Bozell, Robert Nisbet, William F. Buckley, and other writers in National Review), used much of the same rhetoric and sometimes even the same talking points in pointing out the problems they perceived with libertarianism. Libertarianism misconceptions ...

BOMBSHELL! Nancy Pelosi & Husband Invested $500K to 1M in CrowdStrike, Firm That Accused Russia of Hacking the DNC

by the DC Patriot Well Well Well… Look what we have here.. The DNC and the Democrats corruption in America continues. New documents and disclosures show that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and her Husband Paul invested $500,000 to $1 Million in the Cyber Security firm CrowdStrike. According to a RealClearInvestigations.com report, the Pelosis are now heavily invested in the firm CrowdStrike. As many of you know, CrowdStrike was the firm that in 2018 publicly accused Russia of hacking the Democratic National Committee and then stealing it’s data. As many of you know, I’m being sued for investigating the murder of Seth Rich, and of course this news is just more icing on the cake that a cover up is in America. The Hillary Clinton campaign seized on the CrowdStrike campaign by accusin...

The Economics of Government Regulation

by Ludwig von Mises Restrictive measures are those measures undertaken by the authority which directly and primarily are intended to divert production, in the widest meaning of the word, including commerce and transportation, from the ways which it would take in the unhampered economy. Each interference diverts production from the channels prescribed by the market. The peculiar characteristic of restrictive measures lies in the fact that the diversion of production is a necessary and not unintended result of the intervention, and that the diversion of production is precisely what the authority seeks to accomplish by its action. Each intervention has also the necessary effect of diverting consumption from the ways which it would choose in the unhampered market economy. The restrictive m...
