  • THE MASK OF MAYORKAS: MORE DISINFORMATION FROM THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION

    THE MASK OF MAYORKAS: MORE DISINFORMATION FROM THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION

    The White House Propaganda machine was working overtime when it labeled its choice for Secretary of Homeland Security, Alejandro Mayorkas, a “Latino.” A good try, perhaps, but disingenuous in the end. The fact is that Mr. Mayorkas’ father was Turkish and his mother Romanian. That the Secretary was born in Havana is irrelevant. Army brats born in Korea of U.S. parents, for instance, are not Korean; they are American. Similarly, Ali, as he is nicknamed, is neither Cuban nor Latino. Read More…

  • THE UNITED STATES WITNESSED AN ECONOMIC RENAISSANCE UNDER PRESIDENT TRUMP

    THE UNITED STATES WITNESSED AN ECONOMIC RENAISSANCE UNDER PRESIDENT TRUMP

    Much has been said by pundits on the Left that the nation’s recent economic dynamism was due in large measure to President Obama’s policies and initiatives. Setting aside that these talking heads happen to be economic illiterates they also have a great deal of animus toward President Trump which further clouds their thinking. It is incumbent on citizens, therefore, to go behind the curtain of demagoguery and propaganda and get at the truth. Read More…

  • THE AMERICAN DREAM IN TATTERS: ENTREPRENEURIAL JOBS IN FREEFALL

    THE AMERICAN DREAM IN TATTERS: ENTREPRENEURIAL JOBS IN FREEFALL

    The nation’s engine of growth in new jobs, historically, has been the young and emerging enterprise. Twenty years ago, companies less than one year old generated nearly five million new jobs. Currently, one-year old startups are creating a shade above three million new jobs.

    The driver behind new job creation is the new business startup. And, the arithmetic makes clear why new job creation in the United States is the lowest in memory. According to the Small Business Administration, the failure rate of young firms is roughly on par with the rate of new business formations. Read More…

    THE $15 MINIMUM WAGE: A NAIL IN THE COFFIN OF CUSTOMER SERVICE

    A PROGRAM TO HELP THE POOR?

    In yet another harebrained government scheme designed to redistribute wealth, rather than allowing free-markets to create it, the $15 minimum hourly wage – more than twice the current level of $7.25 an hour – bandwagon is gathering momentum especially among Progressives. Cities, counties, and states from New York to California have passed legislation or taken action through executive orders to begin to phase in the new minimum wage. Read More…

  • WHAT SERVICE? WE’RE DEALING WITH THE VIRUS!

    WHAT SERVICE? WE’RE DEALING WITH THE VIRUS!

    The Chinese Communist Virus has not only killed hundreds of thousands of innocent Americans but it is now the most recent foil used by organizations around the country to kill service to the customer.

    In telecommunications, hospitality, education, banking, retail, healthcare, and countless other business sectors of the economy the virus is cited as the reason why organizations are slow or unable to respond to the needs of the consumer. Read More…

  • MUELLER AND STALIN: SOMETHING IN COMMON?

    MUELLER AND STALIN: SOMETHING IN COMMON?

    Robert Mueller’s report conclusion that he could not “exonerate the President of obstruction of justice” left the reader to infer that the President was, therefore, guilty. This is eerily reminiscent of the tactics employed at Stalin’s show trials beginning in the nineteen thirties and extending into the nineteen fifties meant to root out actual or potential “enemies” of the State.

  • THE AMERICAN DREAM HAS NO PLACE FOR SOCIALISM

    THE AMERICAN DREAM HAS NO PLACE FOR SOCIALISM

    It is now roughly one hundred years since the world became enamored of Socialism. In the intervening decades, the infatuation with the socialist experiment has led to environmental despoliation, mass starvation, the demise of entrepreneurial initiative, and the spread of a welfare mentality.

    The rise of demonic monsters such as the Castro brothers, Mao Tse-Tung, Stalin, Hugo Chavez, Kim Jung Un, among others, was the direct consequence of the extinguishment of individual initiative, human dignity, and citizen freedoms. Read More…

  • WHO AMONGST US WILL STAND ON THE TOWER?

    WHO AMONGST US WILL STAND ON THE TOWER?

    In ancient times, watchmen would stand on a tall stone tower always vigilant to the potential of an approaching danger. The role of the watchman, particularly at harvest time, was important to the survival of a community in agrarian societies. The watchman, in effect an early warning system, was called upon to sound an alarm which could prove crucial in thwarting an attack both from ravenous animals and from malefactors who would rather make off with a neighbor farmer’s fruits and vegetables than to labor and toil in their own fields.

  • THE WHO: YET ANOTHER INTERNATIONAL BAD ACTOR FUNDED BY AMERICA

    THE WHO: YET ANOTHER INTERNATIONAL BAD ACTOR FUNDED BY AMERICA

    It is now common knowledge that China muzzled – if not eliminated – its own medical professionals who sought to sound the alarm on the coronavirus outbreak for months. The critical time that was lost led to countless innocent lives being sacrificed at the altar of China’s totalitarian ego: an ego suffused with fraud and data manipulation. How many Chinese were butchered by the Red Communists in this manner will likely never be known.

    Less well known are the reasons why the World Health
    Organization (WHO) has been complicit in the Chinese fraud. Read More…

  • CAUSE AND EFFECT THINKING IN ECONOMICS NEEDS A SERIOUS RESET

    CAUSE AND EFFECT THINKING IN ECONOMICS NEEDS A SERIOUS RESET

    Carl Menger, founder of the Austrian School of Economics, made clear that in Economics, as in all walks of life, causality rules the roost. “All things are subject to the law of cause and effect,” said Menger, and “this great principle knows no exception…”

    If a nation seeks lower unemployment, for example, it should expect to deal with a higher rate of inflation and vice versa. Read More…

  • “THE ENEMY OF MY ENEMY IS MY FRIEND”

    “THE ENEMY OF MY ENEMY IS MY FRIEND”

    All in all, this is a wise proverb. President Trump’s decision to stay out of the Turkish-Kurdish fray unless our geopolitical interests are threatened is a wise decision.

    Turkey’s incursion into Northern Syria in pursuit of Kurdish rebels has been almost universally deplored by the media and politicians in both the United States and Europe. The outrage is justified but it is curious that no such outrage has heretofore been voiced as the Turks have been bad actors for a very long time. Read More…

  • THE SERVICE ETHIC: THE ULTIMATE GUARANTOR AGAINST MORAL HAZARDS

    THE SERVICE ETHIC: THE ULTIMATE GUARANTOR AGAINST MORAL HAZARDS

    It is commonplace that individuals and the companies they represent over-commit, over-sell, and over-promise in an effort to make a sale, and in a broader context to steal a march on the competition. And, while self-interest shall remain forevermore the primary motive of human behavior, acting on ethical principles has been demonstrated to be good for the individual and therefore in the best interests of the organization.
