Finite Mind of Man
- By Jim S. Brooks - Roebuck, SC
The finite mind of man is now, and has always been, “fruitless” and “futile” in his attempt to identify true God; and as a consequence, we have not had and do not now have the ability, on our own, to initiate communication with Him or worship Him!
We have a limited “human mind” that can perceive nothing beyond our “finite” material world! True God, on the other hand, has “infinite” capacity. Mankind, on his own, cannot identify true God nor communicate with Him nor comprehend Him!
We humans have passed our initial limited, finite mind from generation to succeeding generation, without enhancement, from the beginning of our material creation; and, since time immemorial our finite spirit has foolishly identified, worshipped and died for hundreds, perhaps thousands, of “imaginary” false gods. Our human “spirit,” in its finite “wisdom”, deified the sun, the moon, stars, birds, serpents, animals, invisible spirits, man like super-humans; and, man-beasts, even men!

Biden's Super Bowl Shrinkflation Blame Game
- By Veronique de Rugy
President Joe Biden wants to remind you that your Super Bowl party was more expensive than it used to be. The reason, he claims, is corporate greed and "shrinkflation." In a social media video before Sunday night's game, he spoke of companies selling "smaller-than-usual products where the price stays the same." He opposes this behavior and is "calling on the big consumer brands to put a stop to it."
That's quite an amazing move. There's a straight line between shrinkflation, inflation and the Biden administration's own fiscal irresponsibility.

The CFPB Is Putting Our Banking Arrangements at Risk
- By Veronique de Rugy
Nobody likes paying fees. A fee, however, is a transparent way to reflect the price of something. And in a market economy, prices convey vital information that consumers and producers use to make good decisions. A rise in the price of apples tells producers that consumers want more apples. This prompts more apple production (and eventually, lower prices). And so, when political interference keeps prices from fluctuating freely, the result is inefficiency and waste.
The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), calling the prices of bank overdraft protection "junk fees," now proposes to interfere with these prices.

Why Keep Worrying About Debt? Speculation Versus Reality
- By Veronique de Rugy
Over the years, I've offered many explanations about why the trajectory of the national debt is deeply troubling. At this point, though, my worry isn't rooted in a dogmatic adherence to the principles of a balanced budget. Nor does it come from my desire for a smaller government. Instead, I'm alarmed by politicians' unwillingness to look at the numbers and have a serious discussion about changing course.
When I first started paying close attention, the U.S. was essentially carrying a credit-card balance of 40% of America's GDP. Today, according to the Congressional Budget Office, that balance hovers around 98%. Imagine credit-card debt equal to your yearly salary, interest costs piling up and more inevitable debt coming your way. Congress doesn't seem to mind, which partly explains why even optimistic scenarios project the debt to soar to a staggering 180% within 30 years.

Embracing Economic Freedom: Lessons from Javier Milei's World Economic Forum Address
- By Veronique de Rugy
In a thrilling address at the World Economic Forum, Javier Milei, President of Argentina, presented a robust defense of capitalism and a critical examination of all forms of collectivism. His speech, rich in historical context and economic analysis, offers some vital lessons that are particularly relevant for today's globalized economy. Sadly, these lessons have long been ignored by American politicians on the right and left, whether in Washington or on the campaign trail.
Milei began with a stark warning about the dangers of collectivist policies based on Argentina's own, sometimes sad, history. Once a beacon of prosperity under a capitalist framework, Argentina's shift toward collectivism over the past century caused its prosperity to plummet from a leading global position to a much lower rank. Its story illustrates how losing sight of free-market principles can result in economic stagnation or even absolute poverty.

The Assassination of Donald Trump and The Revenge of MAGA
- By Winston McCuen - South Carolina
They can't stop him by concocted sex and Russia-collusion charges, by two impeachments, by election theft, by the unprecedented and criminal home invasion of an American president, by endless bogus lawsuits, or by de-balloting.
Like an irrepressible and indefatigable figure from Greek legend, attacks on his MAGA movement and persecution of his person and family have made Trump ever stronger and ever more popular. So, that leaves Rasputinesque assassination as the only option left for the desperate Dems.
And, if and when Trump is assassinated -- probably sometime this election year -- America will explode.
