“A sucker is born every minute, and Warren Buffett just proved it. He agreed to spend an undisclosed sum of his shareholders’ money to buy a controlling stake in Pilot Flying J, the truck-stop chain that sells food, coffee and diesel fuel to truckers”, writes Holman Jenkins, Jr. in his WSJ column. “After all, aren’t […]
You Are on the Most Beautiful Boulevard in Paris
You won’t believe your good fortune. You just arrived in Paris, checked in to your room at Hotel Franklin Roosevelt and decided to turn left on to Rue Clement Marot. You are on your way to the most beautiful boulevard in Paris: Avenue Montaigne. You note, in case you get hungry later, that across the […]
Preparing Yourself for the Next Disaster: Drinking Water
When thinking about water storage, I like to break it down into three needs: short, intermediate, and long-term. Short-term needs are immediate and can last anywhere from 2 hours to 3 days. In some situations you may have some time to prepare, such as for a storm. But I’m thinking about a short-term emergency that […]
Thank You President Trump for Record Breaking Stock Market Streak
You can thank President Trump, a pro business and pro economy president, for the stock market’s longest streak in 20-years. The S&P 500 closed at its sixth consecutive record Thursday, its longest streak of highs since 1997. The market hates uncertainty and wishy washy leaders–President Trump is neither.
Las Vegas: New Gun Rules are Not the Answer
Throwing more rules at guns will not solve the Las Vegas massacre. Laws stop law abiding citizens. This guy was not that. New gun laws only make it more difficult for law abiding citizens to defend themselves. It’s the exact opposite of what’s needed. We allow our school zones, for example, to be defenseless havens for […]
Preparing Yourself for the Next Disaster
If you’re trying to digest the recent disasters, both natural and human, then you know it’s nearly impossible to live free without vulnerabilities. Instead of making this political (who doesn’t believe they have the answers?) what we have learned is that sometimes help isn’t coming. No doubt there is most likely a desire to help […]
If Stephen Paddock Had Been Part of Al-Qaeda, He Would Have Been Stopped
Wall Street Journal columnist Holman W. Jenkins asks if wider use of technological surveillance, of the kind that is used against terrorists like al-Qaeda, might have done a better job in preventing the massacre allegedly perpetrated by Stephen Paddock. He writes: This column has always been partial to Dean Martin’s theory of gun control. The […]
Is America’s Moment of Unity Fleeting?
Despite a brief moment of national unity following the terrible massacre in Las Vegas, Pat Buchanan questions whether or not the country can hold onto that for very long. Pat says that with a focus on identity issues like “race, religion, ethnicity, culture, history and politics,” America is being pulled apart. He writes: We Americans […]
Who Wins from a Corporate Tax Cut?
Writing for the Cato Institute where he holds the R. Evan Scharf Chair for the Public Understanding of Economics, Ryan Bourne explains that there will be many winners if corporate tax rates are cut. Shareholders, employees and consumers will share the spoils, but the proportion of the benefit each group receives is harder to predict. He […]
A Big Win for Blue State Gun Owners?
For years gun owners in blue states have been stymied by restrictions on concealed carry that force them to prove a special “need” before they are allowed to exercise their rights. Now, the results of a court case in Washington D.C. may be about to upend that. The California Rifle & Pistol Association writes: On […]
