Why Trump Haters Really Hate Trump It’s not the hair. Or the bad manners. Or the “beautiful” wall he says he’ll build. There’s a different, more subtle reason why the Republican establishment, donor class, political operatives, and the news media in general hate Donald Trump. The reason can be found in a New York Times best selling business book, Stacking The Deck, by Wharton professor David Pottruck. Pottruck, the Charles Schwab CEO who took the genial brokerage house online and into the big time, says that organizations hate change. Hate it with a PASSION! That’s because when there’s a new way … Continue reading →

I know a guy, a local guy, who has an older (1980s vintage) car that he bought with tinted windows. This guy is pretty poor and makes his living driving a truck. He is in his mid-50s and just trying to get by. I ran into him the other day and he had a story for me. A local Hero issued him a $100 ticket that he can’t afford for the heinous god-awful crime of having tinted windows. He was at the local gas n’ go, filling up when the Hero spied the crime and immediately took the necessary action. No friendly … Continue reading →

My friend and former business manager John Mauldin have become an economist. I hate to see this. He is a good analyst. He is a good commentator on business trends. His site is a veritable clearing house of insights of famous market analysts. But now he has wandered astray. He has become an economist. His most recent newsletter begins with these insights: In this business we spend a lot of time thinking about problems. What if we could wave a magic wand and make them all go away? Maybe we can.The wand isn’t made from wood. You don’t need Latin … Continue reading →

The University of Missouri (MU) is losing about 1500 students and is facing a huge $32 million budget shortfall four months after it attracted national attention as the site of massive race-based campus protests. “I am writing to you today to confirm that we project a very significant budget shortfall due to an unexpectedly sharp decline in first-year enrollments and student retention this coming fall. I wish I had better news,” said MU interim chancellor Hank Foley in a Wednesday letter to school staff that was obtained by Fox Sports. According to Foley’s letter, MU will have about 1500 fewer students in … Continue reading →

Over the long weekend before the Mississippi and Michigan primaries, the sky above Sea Island was black with corporate jets. Apple’s Tim Cook, Google’s Larry Page and Eric Schmidt, Napster’s Sean Parker, Tesla Motors’ Elon Musk, and other members of the super-rich were jetting into the exclusive Georgia resort, ostensibly to participate in the annual World Forum of the American Enterprise Institute. Among the advertised topics of discussion: “Millennials: How Much Do They Matter and What Do They Want?” That was the cover story. As revealed by the Huffington Post, Sea Island last weekend was host to a secret conclave … Continue reading →

Trump = Hitler.  The evidence is overwhelming. Trump is of German descent on his father’s side.  This makes Trump suspect because Hitler was also German.  The last U.S. president with a German-American father was Dwight Eisenhower, who served as Supreme Commander of the Nazi Forces in Europe.  General Eisenhower somehow managed to overcome this political liability to be elected president less than a decade later but he retained pro-Berlin sympathies throughout his time in office.  According to one blogger, Hitler remained Eisenhower’s preeminent inspiration.  Is this the chance we want to take with another German in the White House? Trump’s … Continue reading →

Comedians hate Donald Trump with so much vitriol, it looks like they’re siding with Bernie purely out of spite. Obviously, both sides have their supporters and it’s not unusual for someone in the arts to go left, but this is different. They don’t simply disagree with Trump. They despise everything about him with a passion. They hate his socks. If he touched their arm, they would scald the spot with steam and then peel off the scab and burn it. I hang out with comedians a lot because I was cursed with an abnormally large sense of humor so they’re … Continue reading →

Digestion is a complex process with many moving parts and there are many steps along the way for something to go wrong. One of the more increasingly common disorders is a condition known as “leaky gut.” Leaky gut, otherwise known as intestinal hyperpermeability, is when perforations develop and allow undigested food and toxins to pass back into the body. Sound like a problem? It is. Leaky gut can be the starting point for anything from food intolerances to inflammatory bowel disease. If leaky gut is a problem for you, you have options, and here are five to get you started. … Continue reading →

A tick will sneak up on you or your dog, take up residence on your body, administer a painless bite into the skin and engorge itself with blood. A single tick bite can transmit multiple pathogens as well as creating secondary infections and allergic reactions.  Do you know what to do and how to protect yourself? What is a tick? The tick is often mistaken as an insect but is actually a small arachnid. Ticks are external parasites (ectoparasites) that feed on the blood of mammals, birds, some reptiles, and amphibians. The term for a diet consisting of only blood … Continue reading →

So I saw this article in the news talking about how the Wounded Warriors Project charity that works for injured U.S. military personnel and veterans is under scrutiny for alleged financial oopsie-daisies like lavish parties and so on. In other words, they were using the donations for a bit more than wounded warriors. But my question is this: Why is this any different than anything else along these lines? Humor me for a moment here. How is this different than Veteran’s Day Sales and Memorial Day Sales? Think about it for a minute. Better yet, let’s have some truth in … Continue reading →

The debate was much more serious this time around than it was last time, and Lew believes it’s because the candidates see the writing on the wall and want to go out with dignity. Whatever the motivation, it’s still good fodder for Lew and me, as we discuss the debate’s style and content, as well as some important news items related to the race. Don’t miss it! Listen to the podcast For audio of the previous debates go to TomWoods.com.

When I first saw the accusations against Duke University lacrosse players a decade ago, my first reaction was the reaction of most people who read about the story: horror and disgust. “Was there any limit to how far drunken college athletes will take awful behavior?” I wondered. As a former collegiate athlete myself at a high-powered Division-I program in the early 1970s, I was well-aware that male athletes and alcohol often made a combustible mix that could easily run someone off the rails into activities that clearly broke the law. According to the accusations, which in a short time moved … Continue reading →
