End the Real Estate Racket
- By Stephen Moore
The housing market is hot, hot, hot right now, and home prices continue to soar in many markets to their highest prices ever. Since it doesn't cost a real estate agent ten times as much to sell a million dollar home than a $100,000 home, one would expect that the percentage fees for real estate agents would be falling. They aren't. Why?
I started investigating the fees charged by the real estate industry some 15 years ago when I was an economics writer for the Wall Street Journal. What I discovered is that the real estate agents had created a de facto legal cartel that often rips off buyers and sellers of homes. The excess cost to home buyers and sellers from this industry cartel is typically more than $10,000 for homes with a price above $500,000.

Debacle in Afghanistan Symptom of Confusion at Home
- By Star Parker
President Joe Biden was right in his speech to the nation about our withdrawal from Afghanistan, that a long legacy of American involvement there preceded him.
But across the board, in domestic as well as foreign policy, any new president inherits realities that precede him. The issue confronting every president is what principles and policies will he put in place to deal with these existing realities that will define his administration.
Most clear now is that America's withdrawal from Afghanistan is surrounded by a perception of confusion, weakness and humiliation.

Taxpayers Are Getting Ripped Off and Congress Does Nothing
- By Stephen Moore
Milton Friedman used to quip that, in Washington, if a government program is working, Congress says we need to spend more money on it. And if a government program is failing, Congress concludes we are not spending enough money on it.
We are seeing that in spades with the unemployment insurance program that has been looted by fraud for nearly 18 months and has become a poster child of everything gone wrong in government (already) under President Joe Biden.
CNBC recently investigated the ransacking of the unemployment insurance program and was told by Michele Evermore, a senior policy adviser for unemployment insurance: "What we're seeing now is really terrifying. Fraud has gotten so big." She wasn't exaggerating.

The Afghanistan Dilemma
- By Mike Scruggs
The Whisper of Sun Tzu
From July to October 2010, I wrote a series of 13 articles on the Afghanistan War. I am not going to repeat the whole series, but an updated review of some of the highlights is necessary for public understanding of past and potentially tragic current events.
Afghanistan is a landlocked mountainous country at the crossroads of South and Central Asia. Its most important borders are with Iran and Pakistan, but it also borders Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, and even has a small border with China.
After the September 11, 2001, terrorist attack on the United States, which killed over 3,000 people, American, British, and Allied troops of 36 other nations became involved in defeating the radical Islamist allies of al-Qaeda and bringing peace and stability to Afghanistan. The security of the United States and many nations depended on the success of their mission, but it would not be an easy one. Many empires, nations, and alliances in the past have found Afghanistan to be a hellish trial.

The Council on Foreign Relations (C.F.R.) – “Deep State” Devils in Disguise! – Part 1
- By W.H. Lamb
The year 2021 is the 100th anniversary of the founding of The Council On Foreign Relations, an organization that has long been considered by “those in the know” as the true “power behind the throne” of U.S. politics. This immense power has been exercised by the CFR over that entire century, including especially within the Biden Administration (and within ALL presidential administrations since 1921 to a lesser or greater degree). As William Jasper wrote in the June 7, 2021 issue of the New American magazine: “The CFR does indeed wield unparalleled influence in political, financial, business, media, and academic circles, and is regularly showered with accolades by ‘the great and the good’. It is the public face, the brain trust, and the central nervous system of what critics refer to as “the Deep State”.

SALTY SEZ – Media Hypnosis
- By Ray Simmons
Just about everyone understands how propaganda is used in the advertising business. Items are touted for their advantages, which are often exaggerated in the process. The lady using the product is ravishingly beautiful, trying to have prospective customers think they too will be more beautiful if they use the product. We elders can remember the roving snake doctors propagandizing their cure-all remedies as they traveled from town to town with their magic potions.
I had intended to discuss this propaganda issue we have all been experiencing over the last year and a half, but I just viewed a video that covers it better and more completely than I ever could. That link: https://robertdavidsteele.com/mirror-mass-psychosis-how-an-entire-population-becomes-mentally-ill/ If you copy that link and paste it into your web search you will have a video by Robert David Steel that runs about 22 minutes. The video contains audio and some of the best cartoons I have ever seen.- Hits: 1966
The Present American Crisis
- By Mike Scruggs
The March of Marxist Revolution
“We are actually witnessing a Communist overthrow of the United States in real time.” - James Simpson, author of Who Was Karl Marx?
The United States is experiencing a rampage of revolutionary Marxist inspired social chaos and lawless political disorder. The destruction of property, political order, and many lives seen in over 600 massive, organized riots in 220 American cities by Black Live Matter and Antifa in the last 18 months is only the tip of the iceberg. Black Lives Matter and Antifa are certainly Marxist led and inspired movements, but they are supported by billions of dollars from newly woke big corporations, Big Tech billionaires, and institutional funding. Many more continue to succumb to their bullying protection racket. The new “woke” Marxist ideology and hateful and unforgiving “cancel culture” and obsequious political correctness dominate the social ethic of most of the education, media, and entertainment establishments. It thoroughly dominates the thinking, policies, and actions of the “Biden” Administration—which should more rightly be called the Obama Third Term Administration—and almost every Democrat politician.
