The Libertarian Opposition is Rising…
Drama, Drama, Drama The last few weeks have proved interesting. Once again, in dramatic fashion, a group of well-meaning liberty-lovers all focused on the same goals, the same purpose, the same politics, and the same heroic cause have come together to take aim … on each other. Knives out and guns blazing, they fight. We […]
NB: There is no “right way” to deal with what’s coming. And what’s coming will be catastrophic. Especially if/when the commercial real estate market implodes (as early as mid 2025). But the most important thing is being able to anticipate the coming issues (before others) and get a leg up to protect you and your […]
Look at this chart! It says everything one needs to know in a single graphic. The problem is orders of magnitude worse than it was before the 2008 financial crisis. Many many many times worse!

Our Founding Fathers had some very clear and unambiguous opinions on the horrors of Democracy. They were very clear that a Republic was the form of government America was meant to follow; a pure or “direct” democracy would only lead us to ruin. And they were quite right!
The first ape to use a tool — a stick or bone, perhaps — used it, no doubt, to kill or maim his fellow ape. We are no more civilized today than he. The history lesson to be learned from the rise of Hitler is not that he was sublimely evil in a way no […]
Free speech isn’t a difficult concept to understand. It’s literally two words. Free speech. The freedom to say what you wish without censorship or retribution. There must be limitations of course, for example asking someone to break the law. But short of that, if Elon, as he has said, is serious about making Twitter a […]
Donald Trump won in 2016 because he could pinpoint an issue in voter psychology: that America was not a fraction of its former self (which was true) and that HE could (narcissistically) make it “great again!” This message appealed to millions, quite likely because nostalgia is easy to tap into and his message was ambiguous […]
