You can forget the story line that baby boomers will be flocking to the cities for retirement. The media has overplayed it mainly because media lives in the city and can’t see the forest through the trees.

Abolish Homeland Security?
My friend the Cato Institute’s Gene Healy thinks the answer is yes and details his reasoning here. Mission creep seems to be a burgeoning problem at DHS, which last month announced the launch of “a new smartphone app designed to seek the public’s help with fugitive and unknown suspect child predators.” A Homeland Security spokesman […]
The Republicans Won by Keeping the Sequester in Place
The “Controlled Media” has tried to take the collective American eye off the real prize of the recent budget debate. Out in the real world, Republicans have cut the size of government for the second year in a row. And Republicans are positioned to keep the good budget news coming despite an Obama/Reid-controlled media victory […]
Quantum Dawn 2

Going Backwards in California
You do not want to own a business in California. Instead locate in Florida or Texas, to name two obvious destinations. The California math simply does not work.

Between sets we were able to meet Bernard and talk about some of his performances through the years. […]
Tom Friedman’s World is Upside Down
Here New York Times columnist Tom Friedman is way off base. It’s hit or miss with Friedman. The Tea Party is not the faction of the GOP that needs to change. The last time I checked the McCain’s of the GOP would have our troops fighting another war. This is not a time for moderate […]

The defunding Obamacare mission continues in full force despite what you read in the controlled media. No American understands the defund Obamacare issue better than does Cato Institute’s Michael Cannon. Here is the real story of the continuing effort. The states hold the key. What’s clear is that the recriminations are unwisely distracting ObamaCare opponents from […]

Asked on CNBC’s “Squawk Box” if he knew that the rollout of Healthcare.gov would be problematic, the insurer’s CEO, Mark Bertolini, said his giant company’s role as an alpha tester for the system gave it a sense of how many problems the health insurance marketplace faced on the eve of its launch. “We were pretty nervous as […]
