I love it when I listen to progressives in the investment community bemoan the #DOGE cuts to government as something that will collapse the economy and the markets.

But here's what will collapse the economy: Mounting debt and deficits. That is $37 trillion in debt and counting- Charles Gasparino | Facebook
  • Yes, it will slow things down as we reduce spending on garbage like trans dance festivals and the vast federal bureaucracy of jobs that any company would have downsized decades ago. 
  • When we make cuts to entitlements--and yes they will be coming-there will be some pain. That is until we reap the benefits of smaller government: Less debt, and more accountable government, less spending and less need for taxes AND tax cuts. 
  • Deporting migrants means fewer people tapping into Medicare and Medicaid...
We were heading for a showdown with the bond market and you never want the market to impose it's brand discipline on the size of government; that's when you truly have Armageddon...

Accidentally the truth? Watch Democrat in Congress stun with Freudian slip * WorldNetDaily * by Bob Unruh

A Democrat in Congress may have accidentally spoken the quiet part out loud in a heated statement blasting President Donald Trump, Department of Government Efficiency chief Elon Musk, and other Republicans. In a tactic seldom before used, Rep. Sydney Kamlager-Dove exclaimed, "We are going to continue to speak lies to his truth."

Bring Back Our Knobs: Analog vs. Digital

So why have many product designers abandoned simple analog controls? Glenn Harlan Reynolds - Published: Sep 30, 2009 
Not so long ago, if I wanted to adjust the heat in my car, or the volume on my car radio, I could grab a nice, simple knob. 
  • Turn it to the right, and the car got warmer, or the radio got louder. 
  • Turn it the other way, and the opposite occurred. 
I could always sense how far I was adjusting things—without ever taking my eyes off the road—because millions of years of evolution have produced a neurological feedback mechanism that lets me know just how much I'm turning my wrist.
Easy, effective, intuitive. 
That's simply good design, right? 
You'd think...

Hillary Clinton's attempt to dunk on Hegseth over Russia-related order backfires gloriously | Blaze Media

Since uranium is a strategic asset, the deal ultimately required the sign-off of the State Department. The department, then run by Hillary Clinton, provided the green-light, reportedly granting the Russian state corporation control of roughly 20% of American uranium production. It's unclear whether the State Department under Clinton did so with Putin's feelings in mind.

Media favorites can say anything!

  • In one case, former Vice President Kamala Harris handed over a check for nearly $7 billion to Bethesda, Maryland, based group Climate United Fund, which does not appear in the IRS’s charities database, and has no federal filings.
  • The non-profit fund had only been incorporated in Delaware on November 30, 2023, according to public records, five months before Harris handed over the cash in April 2024...

Professor says monuments to American pioneers ‘reinforce white supremacy’

Some art must be read ‘carefully’ to see ‘cultural biases coming through,’ U. North Dakota professor says - Micaiah Bilger 
In an interview this week with KJZZ Phoenix, Cynthia Prescott (pictured) discussed her research on pioneer monuments, including a book that argues the artwork promotes “white cultural superiority” and “gender stereotypes.”
Much like with Confederate monuments, the professor said America should re-examine artwork honoring American settlers...

Critics lay into Dem senators for killing bill that would keep male cross-dressers out of women's sports | Blaze Media

The Independent Council on Women's Sports stated that "it's shocking that not a single Senate Democrat will vote to keep girls' sports female-only. This is not representative of the people." Riley Gaines, the All-American swim star who not only had to compete with the transvestite formerly known as William Thomas but found herself sharing a locker room with him, shared a list of the Democratic senators who voted against advancing the bill, noting, "Name and shame them all."

2023!-MI no longer holds back!!-----More States Threaten to Hold Back Third-Graders Who Can’t Read

Supporters say the laws motivate students to work hard, while others say they are unfair - Sara Randazzo and Scott Calvert 
At least 16 states have tried to use reading tests and laws requiring students to repeat third grade to improve literacy.
In the race to fix a nationwide reading crisis that worsened during the pandemic, more states are threatening to make students repeat third grade to help them catch up years to use reading tests and laws requiring students to repeat third grade to improve literacy. 
Louisiana, Arkansas, Alabama and Nevada have all passed similar laws that will go into effect in the coming years.
Politicians and educational officials say the goal isn’t to hold children back, but to create an incentive to do well while also reducing social promotion...

Even liberals mock Democrats' impotent protests to Trump address: 'Some of the dumbest s*** I've ever seen' | Blaze Media

Democrats opposed the policies espoused by the president in his speech by wearing pink and by holding up placards with statements like, "Musk Steals," "Save Medicaid," and "Protect Veterans." Democratic Rep. Al Green of Texas was much more vocal when he jumped up and yelled at the president, but he was rewarded by getting kicked out of the House chamber.

Brits do it. Dutch do it. Even down in Oz they do it. Why can't US have public funding for private schools? - Joanne Jacobs
How many parents want this? I'm guess not very many. But, unless they can afford to pay private-school tuition, they don't have a choice.

  • "According to UNESCO, 171 out of 204 countries are pluralistic in some fashion," says Berner. The U.S. is an "outlier."
The culture war in the U.S. would be eased if parents could choose a school that fit their values, she argues in her book, Educational Pluralism and Democracy.
