Democrats are soft on crime.

Democrats are soft on crime.  NYC city mayor has a bargain for career criminals: a get out of jail free card!  If there is a warrant for you, the NYC mayor is basically saying you have nothing to worry about!  How insane is that?

The Democrat Party is nothing more than a criminal enterprise

Democrats are an anti-American, subversive, and seriously deranged political party.  The Democrat Party is more like a computer virus than a serious political party with real solutions to the problems we face.  Instead, the Democrat Party offers nothing but crumbs to help out the losers in life while secretly stealing trillions of dollars from hard working Americans and shuffling it through the bureaucracy.  The Democrat Party is nothing more than a criminal enterprise that masquerades as a serious political party, which it isn't.

Raise the minimum wage? Jobs get eliminated.

When the minimum wage is so high that it is cheaper to replace human labor with capital investment, an employer will not hesitate to make the rational decision to opt for machines.

Hillary Clinton and Ford Pinto

Hillary Clinton is the Ford Pinto of presidential politics. Hillary is a cynical old nincompoop with a fake smile ... who clings to her discredited Marxist political philosophy and never seems to be competent at anything. "What difference does it make?" that she is announcing that she is running for president today? None. The only person who is excited about her candidacy is herself.

Hillary Clinton is an old Ford Pinto. Ted Cruz is a Porsche Spyder 918

I might be odd, but I like to compare our presidential candidates to cars. On the Democrat side, there is only one official candidate, Hillary Clinton. Hillary is an old Ford Pinto. On the Republican side, Ted Cruz is a Porsche 918 Spyder. Rand Paul is a Porsche 911 Turbo S. Marco Rubio is a Ford Fusion. If Jeb Bush decides to run, he's a 2005 Pontiac Aztek.

F.A. Hayek on Knowledge

"The curious task of economics is to demonstrate to men how little they really know about what they imagine they can design." -- F. A. Hayek
The Fatal Conceit: The Errors of Socialism
University of Chicago Press
1989

What Hayek was referring to is the false assumption that someone like Hillary Clinton can know all there is to know about health care and other large organizations in society.  Hillary gives the pretense of knowing things that she clearly does not know, all in the hopes of getting the votes of low-information voters.

Starbucks baristas to talk about...race!? What about talking about coffee!?

According to Breitbart, Starbucks baristas will be encouraged to talk about race-relations in America with customers.  This is a terrible idea! Why would anyone want to talk about race-relations with their barista?  When we want to get coffee, we just want our damn coffee.  We did not come to Starbucks to talk about race, nor do we care what race the baristas are.  We just want the damn coffee!

Azealia Banks hates America

Azealia Banks apparently hates America.  In a Playboy interview, she said, "“Yes! I hate everything about this country,” Banks replied when Playboy asked if she wanted to leave the United States. “Like, I hate fat white Americans. All the people who are crunched into the middle of America, the real fat and meat of America, are these racist conservative white people who live on their farms.”  Well, why not leave this country, you moron?  You aren't forced to live in this country.  All of the malcontents like you should leave if you hate it so much.

With some reservations, Apple Watch likely to be a success.

What can we make of the new Apple Watch?  Many investment analysts have no clue whether people will want the Apple watch.  And in truth, neither does Apple.  The truth is that Apple is trying to diversify their business operations because almost all of their revenue comes from sales of the iPhone.  And while the iPhone has done spectacularly well, it is risky for a business operations to be so dependent upon one source of income (just as it is perhaps dangerous to be dependent upon only one source of income for an individual).  For that reason, I think that there are quite a number of reasons why the Apple Watch will be successful.


  • Apple Watch is likely to be successful due to the inherent vision of industrial designer, Johnny Ives.   Ives knows that Apple consumers like products that are eloquent, simple, and beautiful.
  • People mocked the iPhone when it was first announced, but guess what?  It was super successful. People are similarly mocking the Apple Watch.
  • People like to tear down Apple precisely because they have been enormously successful and have been able to connect very well with their audience.  They should be revered, not reviled.  After all, unlike Tesla, Apple is not demanding subsidies for their Apple Watch business!
  • The watch market has been getting a bit boring lately.  Why not add a little competition by adding a remarkably eloquent and beautiful product to the mix?  Makes sense to us.
If you can, we definitely would appreciate a donation to this blog.  Thank you.  It is good karma.  Who knows?  We might spend it on an Apple Watch. :)

Has World War III Begun?

Mark Levin famously asserted that World War III has begun.  We happen to agree with this view.  Of course, fighting the Islamofascist enemy, which is an ideology, will be different from the way wars have been fought against the axis powers.  However, we have to admit that militant, theocratic-Islam is a worldwide movement, is very ideological, and appears to be a war that is infecting every part of the planet.  Most of the leaders in the West do not seem able to handle this war very well.  A lot of leaders, including President Obama, do not even wish to identify the enemy.  (How can you win a war when you refuse to name your enemy?  Answer: you can't).  This war is likely to last a long time.  Most citizens in Western nations don't even realize what is going on because most leaders refuse to identify the enemy (Islamofascism).   Well, I believe that over the long-run, eventually a leader steps up and addresses a problem.  The right person will indeed show up.

Obama Hates America

One out of three Americans do not believe Obama loves America.  Can someone list a single thing in Obama's background that would suggest that he loves America--the way it was founded?  We are living in a post-constitutional America, where the rule law no longer applies.  The reason why people come from all over the world to enter into America is because we are a land of freedom and liberty.  People did not come here because they want freebies, politicians who think they can do whatever they want, or because they think "Obama is cool."  The people who legitimately immigrate to America do so because our nation is different from the places where they came from.  If you're reading this from China or some other place where the rule of law applies, you know that this is true.
The legitimate question to ask is how did we reach a point in time that we would elect a man who has contempt for America to be our nation's president?  That is the part that does not make sense.  Obama is not an ordinary president with typical ambitions.  Rather, he seeks to control this country in any way that he can.

Obama does not love America.

Of course Obama does not love America.  We have been saying, for a very long time, that Obama and other leftists are fundamentally unable to express love or admiration for America.  They have contempt for the principles that America was founded on.

Jobs Program for Terrorist ISIS Fighters!? Are you serious?

State Department valley girl spokesperson Marie Harf (rhymes with 'barf') said that ISIS fighters will stop engaging in atrocities if they could find jobs.  What kind of jobs would these bunch of thugs do?  Are we supposed to help create a McDonald's and an Apple store in ISIS territory?  ISIS is completely illegitimate.  We reject all of their goals and believe that the US military should eradicate this menace.  And we're not afraid to state that ISIS is Islamic.

Fascinating fact from Thomas Sowell....

Fascinating fact from Thomas Sowell: In the 1990s, 30-40 million Chinese living abroad pursued as much wealth as the billion Chinese living on the mainland.  Culture matters, but politics matters even more.
