On the $15 an Hour Minimum Wage (a Number that They Apparently Just Pulled Out of Their Asses - I Mean, Why Not 20 or 25 or 100, for Christ?)

You think that there are a shitload of self check-out aisles now? Wait 'til these economic illiterates put this lunacy into effect. To steal a phrase from BTO, you ain't seen nothing yet.

On the Fact that the Word Has Apparently Gotten Around Central America that the Easiest Way to Get Entry Into the U.S. Is to Show Up with a Youngster......and, Yes, Any Youngster Will Do (Rapid DNA Tests Currently Showing that 30% of the Kids Being Brought to the Border Are Unrelated to the Adult Who Brought Them)

People respond to incentives, even the perverse ones, and, boy, has the government ever given us a dandy with this one. Can you say, human trafficking? I can. 

On the Fact that I've Always Been Far More Impressed with Conservative Intellectuals (Thomas Sowell, Russell Kirk, Heather MacDonald, Walter Williams, Charles Murray, Shelby Steele, Jonathan Haidt, etc.) than with Conservative Politicians (Dirtbags Like McConnell, Ryan, etc.)

Probably because the former has never felt the dire need to pander, suck dick, grovel for cash, lie profusely, be the constant center of attention, etc...…..That and they're just so much smarter, let us never forget that.

On Maryland's (Relatively) Moderate Democratic Congressman, John Delaney, Attempting to Bring a Semblance of Sanity to the Clown-Show Democratic Debate Last Night and Largely Getting Ignored by the Media for it

Yeah, I could probably find fault with Mr. Delaney (on climate-change and the minimum wage, for example) but at least he's in the mainstream of where the Democratic party used to be......and wouldn't it be nice to maintain that before we become another, you know, VENEZUELA!!  

On the Fact that the Mexican Judge Who Trump Was Apparently Uneasy About Several Years Back Is Actually a "Conquistador American" (a Term Coined by Steve Sailer to Describe Hispanics of 100% European Stock) and so the Charge of Racism at Least In Regards to this Situation Seems a Tad Unfair

I also believe that the judge in question ruled in favor of Trump and so there's irony on top of irony with this story. It doesn't get any better than that.

On the Fact that if the Pursuit of Profit Is the Main Cause of Pollution In the World, Why Then Did We Ultimately Discover that Those Old Soviet-Bloc Countries (All of Which Possessed Command and Control Economies) Were Complete and Total Toxic Nightmares On a Level Unheard of In the West?

The obvious answer of course is that under communism secure property rights and a fair and impartial court system (where people can sue polluters and often win) are nowhere to be found...……...and, so, yeah, when you combine this brutal reality with communism's perennial tragedy of the commons of course you're going to get a horrid environment. Common sense, no? 

On Libertarians

Or as I prefer to call them, "anti-war leftists who've ultimately stumbled upon Mises, Hayek, Rothbard, Bastiat, Schmupeter, Sumner, Hazlitt, and other such economists (i.e., guys who could count)".
