The only Amendment added to our Constitution, and voided by another, is the 18th, which didn’t prohibit drinking alcoholic beverages, but prohibited “manufacture, sale, or transportation of intoxicating liquors…” I am quite certain that the Carry Nation (1846-1911) supporters were proud, as she attempted to destroy bars with her little hatchet. It was passed and […]
(I wrote this May 8, 1995) “It is an extremely accurate generalization, that most American Jews, vote and support “liberal” causes and candidates. There are exceptions, but the fact that American Jews are predominately politically liberal, is beyond question. My question is WHY? The difference between “liberals,” and “Conservatives,” is that liberals think big government […]
I’ve often said that there’s real money and fake money. There are different brands of fake money. As an example of the fake, I have a one hundred trillion dollar Zimbabwe bank note (that’s 14 zeros) and also a 500 trillion note, from a bank in “Hapoaha,” wherever that is. It’s not in dollars, but […]
“THE POWERS NOT DELEGATED TO THE UNITED STATES BY THE CONSTITUTION, NOR PROHIBITED BY IT TO THE STATES, ARE RESERVED TO THE STATES RESPECTIVELY, OR TO THE PEOPLE.” If that amendment were followed, 90% of the federal government would be disbanded. The Constitution does not authorize wealth redistribution, regulating everything, subsidizing everything, controlling everything, and […]
My dictionary’s definition of reserve is, “To be worthy, fit for a reward,” and I won’t argue with that. Typically, that word had been miss-used almost 100% of the time in today’s political atmosphere. “Deserving,” in today’s lingo, simply means anyone who ‘should’ receive a handout. They may be fat, filthy, lazy, stupid, poor, unable […]
The so-called “tough guys” of the world, are the dumbest. Violence of every kind, is a mark of stupidity, and if you disagree, stop and think about it. Violent people are never smart. They merely substitute toughness, muscle, foul-language, or guns, for brains and intellect. It requires no intelligence, to curse and swear. It requires […]
The Federal Government is like an enormous slot machine, with flashing lights, lots of payout slots, and big wheels with pictures of fruit on them. The wheels automatically spin and stop. Spin and stop, 24 hours a day. Unlike conventional slot machines, this one produces a winner with every spin. Instead of putting cash into […]
From parts of a 8/24 Wall Street Journal “Even Democrats don’t want to hear about climate change. The words were barely mentioned at the convention, and every transcript I examined, omitted the once obligatory Biden modifier. The reason isn’t a mystery. Joe Biden’s policies are having not the slightest effect on climate change, and yet […]
This is an exact reprint of a column I wrote 9/10/2018 “The inflation rate in Venezuela is 67,934% a year, currently anyway. This means that if you wanted to buy an ounce of gold, it would cost over $81 million Bolivars, which is what they use for money, at least for now. By the time […]
Physical things, are supremely important in our lives. Today, in the financial as in virtually every other aspect in our lives, physical anything, seems to have lost its importance. In financial matters, does anyone have a physical share of stock? There probably over 2 trillion shares of stock in over 6,000 companies, and after […]
