How Washington Helps
the Rich and Hurts the Poor
In my new book, The False Promise of Big
Government, I reveal the right argument
against big government. Progressives have created a massive and intrusive
federal government by repeating this mantra: big government is necessary to
help the “little guy” - the poor, working class, and middle class. There’s only
one problem with progressives’ favorite claim: IT’S A MYTH! [more...]
This is What a Rigged
System Looks Like
In
May, U.S. District Court Judge Amy Berman Jackson dismissed a lawsuit by the
families of the victims of Benghazi against Hillary Clinton. Judge Jackson
decided that the families couldn’t sue Hillary either for wrongful death or for
defamation. That isn’t too surprising as Jackson is a former Clinton donor who
had been appointed by Obama. And a Clinton donor should never have been ruling
on a Clinton case. But now Judge Jackson will be presiding over the Paul Manafort
case. Presiding over Manafort’s indictment is Judge Deborah A. Robinson whose
most prominent previous case was the Berger trial. Sandy Berger, Bill Clinton’s
former National Security Adviser, stole classified documents about the terror
failures of the Clinton administration, hid documents under a construction trailer, lied about taking them and
destroyed some of them. People have gone to jail for doing a whole lot less
with classified documents. But not Clinton associates. [more...]
Another Terrorist
Attack, Another Whitewash of Islamic Jihad
After
a Muslim immigrant from Uzbekistan murdered eight people on a bike path in New
York, the usual “expert” pundits and commentators began recycling the same
cliches they always use to avoid a hard, uncomfortable fact: these killings are
perpetrated by Muslims who are faithfully following fourteen centuries of
Islamic precept and practice. Sixteen years after 9/11 we still don’t get the
reality of Islamic jihad. Indeed, we can’t even get simple facts straight. The
NYC terrorist’s cry of Allahu Akbar, the traditional Muslim
battle-cry, is consistently mistranslated. [more...]
The ‘Paradise Papers’
On
November 5th, 13.4 million electronic documents were released holding
confidential information on how the wealthy funnel their money through offshore
accounts to avoid paying taxes. The papers were hacked from Appleby, a law firm
that specializes in offshore banking deals across the world. The papers
explicitly show how wealthy individuals use offshore companies and accounts -
“tax havens” to avoid paying taxes. Among those named in the Paradise Papers were
the President of Columbia, Juan Manuel Santos; the current U.S. Secretary of
Commerce, Wilbur Ross, and Queen Elizabeth II. The papers also name
multinational corporations that funnel money through foreign companies like
Facebook, Apple, Nike, and Walmart, to name a few. [more...]
The Left in the
University
As
the Leftists scream at the sky on the anniversary of the election of President
Trump, it makes us realize the corruption of American higher education is a
tragic story in and of itself. “Snowflakes” and “safe spaces,” crowds of thugs
shutting down conservative speakers, craven administrators caving in to demands
of activist students and faculty have become increasingly common since the rise
of Donald Trump sparked a “resistance” movement. Even progressives who
have run afoul of campus terrorists are writing books about free speech now
that their revolutionary children have started devouring their own. My new book, The Left in the University,
volume 8 of The Black Book of the American Left, addresses
this issue in detail. [more...]
Taxing
America’s Future
By
Lowell Ponte
The American Dream is being undermined by government
policies. “The sweeping tax overhaul House Republicans introduced [November 2]
would eliminate or scale back some of the biggest incentives for home-buying in
federal law,” wrote Russell Berman in The Atlantic. This would, he said, cut in
half the limit on deducting mortgage interest, cap property tax deductibility,
repeal the tax deduction for moving expenses, and force more people to pay
taxes on profits made from selling a home. The low-earning Millennial
Generation has already postponed buying their first home, which has postponed
marriages and couples starting a family, which has in turn helped spawn the
lowest fertility rate in American history. Higher taxes, in other words, have
unintended consequences. In this case, raising taxes on home ownership could
mean far fewer children in this generation – and far fewer future workers to
pay for Social Security and Medicare that are already speeding toward
bankruptcy. [more...]
