Economic issues-taxes, freedom to do business, unemployment
This past week, I did something I've never attempted before...since until now I had no need to do it. Over at Ricochet.com, one of our most beloved members did a post about her unfortunate situation. She is elderly, and living alone. She lives in Montana, and we met her in 2017 at the big Montana …

I was reading an article in the Wall Street Journal this week. Here are some sentences describing someone's imprisonment. Alone in his cell, he isn't permitted to leave (on weekends) for the 30 minutes of fresh air he gets on weekdays. The lights burn 24 hours a day. He can't wear a watch, and sometimes …
And still being a productive member of society. Today is my 70th birthday, and I don't feel a day over 69! Today was a day much like any other. Wake up at 5:10AM, dress, eat breakfast (after feeding the owner), leave for work and arrive at 6:00 on the dot. Do my normal job, fend …

That will seem like elementary school, compared to the new tie-up between two financial-data providers. Be afraid, be VERY afraid. You voluntarily sign up for a Facebook account, and you make a conscious decision to use Google products, like internet search, Gmail, and YouTube. You can decline to use Facebook, and there are alternate search …

...but I find myself in sympathy with a particular group of Muslims, whose culture is facing extinction. Over the last year, I have been reading in the Wall Street Journal about how China is closely observing all its people, placing cameras equipped with cutting-edge facial-recognition software, wherever the people are. China is building a ubiquitous …
This week, we went to Southern California for a Hillsdale College National Leadership Seminar, the subject of which was Politics and Principles. The venue was a nice Hilton Hotel near the John Wayne Orange County Airport. Over two days, we had a President's Club reception, a nice dinner, with remarks by Dr. Larry Arnn, the …

Or, as Ben Shapiro puts it, New York Governor Cuomo wants to ban the Death Penalty...Except for Unborn Children; go ahead and kill those. Last week, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo signed into law the most comprehensive abortion law in the United States. This new law, passed by the now-100%-Democrat controlled Legislature, allows termination of …
