What national boundaries can be considered as just? In the first place, it must be recognized that there are no just national boundaries per se; that real justice can only be founded on the property rights of individuals. If fifty people decided voluntarily to set up an organization for common services or self-defense of their persons and properties in a certain geographical area, then the boundaries of that association, based on the just property rights of the members, will also be just. National boundaries are only just insofar as they are based on voluntary consent and the property rights of their members or citizens. Just national boundaries … Continue reading

Last month, lawmakers in Massachusetts approved a constitutional amendment that will lead to the departure of many of the state’s wealthiest and most productive citizens. This move is likely to cause tax revenues to drop and real estate values to collapse. The proposed change imposes a 4% surtax on residents with taxable income of $1 million or more. Currently, the state income tax rate is a flat 5.1%. So, when the measure comes into effect in 2019, the wealthiest taxpayers in Massachusetts will see their state income tax burden nearly double, which will cause many of them to move elsewhere. … Continue reading

The only solution for the surplus of workers with law degrees is a massive, permanent reduction in the issuance of new law graduates. America is in the opening stages of a massive surplus of over-credentialed workers. The default setting for 50 years has been: if you want a secure upper-middle class salary, get a law degree, MBA, PhD or other graduate-level professional degree. The massive surplus is now apparent in J.D.s (law degrees) and PhDs. The writing is already on the wall: there aren’t enough jobs for law school graduates, and this scarcity of high-paying legal jobs will only increase going forward. … Continue reading

When one says of Don Barnhill that a given challenge confronting him is “not his first rodeo,” the expression is not a wearisome cliché. Rodeo championships figure prominently in Barnhill’s life, which is cluttered with enviable achievements. As a younger man, he was a private firefighter, which means that he actually worked to contain and defeat fires, rather than maximizing expense while minimizing results, which is the government sector approach. He pursued a degree in archeology and is a self-taught historian of the Oregon Trail who helped organize the first reenactment of the Three Island Crossing on the Snake River. … Continue reading

With all that is being written about the economic collapses of nations around the globe, people in America seem to be waiting for some huge event. But what if it isn’t a huge event like  a stock market crash or a currency collapse that you actually need to be concerned about? What if our disaster starts out looking nothing like the economic crises in Argentina, Venezuela or Greece? What if the real financial disaster in the future is more personal?  What, if that financial disaster has already happened? It’s here and it’s not what anyone expected. Despite the lack of fanfare … Continue reading

Is it theirs, or what they think of ours?  Example 85,273,569. What’s truly scary about the horrifying attacks that have recently taken place in Orlando, England and France isn’t just the number of victims — it’s that the acts themselves are impossible to understand. This being the summary, offered just below the subject post at Spiegel.  I suspect I don’t have to do much more writing for you to know where this post is headed.  But here goes…. It’s been 10 years since the Football World Cup transformed Germany into a “summer fairytale,” as it was referred to by Germans. … Continue reading

Bill and Hillary Clinton profess to have always been supporters of racial equality, but anecdotes published in a new book by his ex-lover claim otherwise. Hillary was heard calling mentally challenged children ‘f*****g ree-tards’ and caught on record blurting out the terms ‘stupid k**e and ‘f***ing Jew b*****d’, while Bill called the Reverend Jesse Jackson a ‘G**damned n****r’. Bill was also sued several times by blacks and Hispanics for violations of the 1965 Voting Rights Act. Dolly Kyle – who was just 11 when she first crossed paths with Bill, dated him through high school and began sleeping with him once … Continue reading

Most people believe that the era we live in is totally normal. This is the case whether you live in a war-zone or in “Shangri-La”. It is the same with the economy. Everybody in the West today believes that stocks always go up and that property grows to the sky and that government bonds are the safest investment you can own. So these strong markets have been the norm for the average investor for the last 100 years. Everything they touch has gone up and any down move is only a correction. And so far investors have been right to … Continue reading

“Those who support multiculturalism .  .  . realize that if they are to transform Western societies into strictly regulated, racial-feminist bureaucracies they must first undermine those societies.” –Frank Ellis At the outset of his administration, President Bill Clinton famously declared that “the era of big government is over.”  He then did everything in his power to prove that to be yet another of his slick lies.  At the outset of her administration, German Chancellor Angela Merkel, a one-time East German “communist youth leader,” famously declared that “multiculturalism has been a failure.”  She then did everything in her power to prove … Continue reading

Most kidney stones pass through the urinary tract with no trouble. Unfortunately, some do not. Left untreated, they can result in terrible pain. Of course, you do not want to wait until that happens, so knowing early symptoms can save you some real misery. Here are 3 signs that you may be developing a stone. 1. Urinating Frequently Men are much more likely to suffer from kidney stones, so many men try to ignore frequent urination because it’s also a symptom of prostate problems, something that many men find difficult to face. Do not ignore frequent urination. Not only is … Continue reading

All this fuss about Donald Trump being racist because he said he thought a Federal judge was biased against him is total nonsense.  How sick, and uncertain, we must be as a nation to react in this hotheaded way over his quite unremarkable observation about a judge’s heritage. What Trump said made perfectly good sense—that the judge was probably biased  because he was a second-generation Latino and Trump had impugned Latinos once—and was not a special case of racism but one more in  a long-standing criticism of bias in the judiciary.   It cannot be honestly held that justice is blind, … Continue reading
