Thank Private Property

- By John Stosell
Happy Thanksgiving!
But beware the "tragedy of the commons." It almost killed off the pilgrims.
Now, via Washington, D.C., it's probably coming for us.
Tragedy of the commons is a concept from an essay by ecologist Garrett Hardin. He wrote how cattle ranchers sharing a common parcel of land soon destroy that land. That's because each rancher has an incentive to put cattle on the common. Soon, the extra animals eat all the grass. Shared grazing space is destroyed because no rancher has an incentive to conserve.
Saule Omarova Shouldn't Be Overseeing our Banks

- By Star Parker
It is ironic when Democrats complain about sensational use of language.
Thanks to progressives, practically every white person in America has been labelled a racist.
But now Democrats are screaming because Republican Sen. John Kennedy suggested that Saule Omarova, whom President Joe Biden has nominated to head the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency -- the nation's top banking regulator -- might be a communist.
Kennedy opened his questioning of Omarova at her Senate Committee on Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs confirmation hearing asking if he should call her "professor or comrade."
We Need a Little More Milton Friedman Right About Now
- Details
- By Stephen Moore
Not long ago, President Joe Biden made an offhanded comment that "Milton Friedman isn't running the show anymore."
This president has seldom spoken more valid words. And that's where the trouble has begun.
If you were to rate the three most influential economic minds of all time, you'd be hard-pressed to come up with a better trio than Adam Smith, John Maynard Keynes and Friedman.
I'm a little too young to have known Keynes or Smith, but I am old enough to have gotten to know Friedman, and I'm proud to have called him a friend.

Furious National Debate over Protectionism vs. Free Trade – Part 2
As South Carolina statesman and political philosopher John C. Calhoun frequently pointed out, any tax measure that has a disparate and damaging effect on different regional or commercial interests is inherently unconstitutional. Article I, Section 8 of the U.S. Constitution provides that:
“…all duties, imports, and excises shall be uniform throughout the United States.”
Article 5, Section 9 ordains that:
“No tax, or duty, shall be laid upon articles exported from any State. No preference shall be given, by any regulation of commerce or revenue, to the ports of one State, over those of another.”
The clearly manifest spirit of these Constitutional provisions is not that duties should be uniform in rate, but that they should be uniform in effect. The intent of these measures is to prohibit any legislation that gives preference to special commercial interests, geographic regions, states, or ports. Surely, it prohibits any tariff that damages other commercial interests or geographic regions for the benefit of another. The Confederate Constitution, recognizing the injustice and turmoil caused by much of the tariff legislation of the past 40 years, allowed for low-rate revenue tariffs but prohibited protective tariffs.
Thanksgiving 2021: Some Thoughts
- Details
- By W.H. Lamb
Note: A version of this article was published in The Times Examiner back in November of 2018. The great thing about true history is that it doesn’t change (if it is true). It may be purposely changed or “revised” or even obliterated by the collectivist churls who now dominate our main stream media and most of the major publishing companies. But we owe it to the people of history—to the heroes and villains of the past—to the noble and ignoble deeds they performed--------- we owe it to all of them to tell the TRUTH about what they did—for good or ill-- in their time under the sun. Their deeds made US what we are today. And that surely includes a greatly (and purposely) misunderstood group of religious separatists we today call Pilgrims, people who are mercilessly attacked in our day by the mentally deficient clods of the MSM and the “woke” social media, as hopeless racists and the cause of all of our problems in modern America!
There Will Be No Media 'Reckoning' Over the Steele Dossier
- Details
- By David Harsanyi
Axios says there's a "reckoning" in the media over coverage of the Steele dossier after the partisan oppo document's primary source was charged with lying to the FBI. "It's one of the most egregious journalistic errors in modern history," writes Sara Fischer, "and the media's response to its own mistakes has so far been tepid."
Tepid is a nice way of putting it. While the Washington Post "corrected" some of its discredited reporting on the dossier, removing portions of reporting connecting former President Donald Trump to Russia, there has been virtually no other accountability. And, really, it's become modus operandi for the news organizations to "correct" stories in which the entire premise is false. Any sort of "reckoning" would mean a retraction, followed by investigative deep dives, not only reporting the problems with the story themselves but outing the fraudulent sources who participated in the deception. Perhaps that's going on as we speak, but it's highly doubtful.
Will Joe Biden Learn Jimmy Carter's Inflation Lesson?
- Details
- By Stephen Moore
In the 1980 presidential campaign, the Republican challenger, Ronald Reagan, said, "A recession is when your neighbor loses his job. A depression is when you lose yours. And recovery is when Jimmy Carter loses his." The Gipper turned out to be correct. The gale-force winds of rising inflation had knocked working-class people to the ground, with paychecks shrinking month after month. Reagan wound up winning a landslide victory, and Carter was bounced out of office.
The middle class hates inflation. The New York Times recently surmised that the effects of inflation are mostly "psychological," and that people should appreciate that "the U.S. economy is doing well." Wrong. People feel the impact of rising prices daily. It doesn't just make them FEEL poorer. They are poorer.
