That scene in Sound Of Freedom where Tim Ballard pretends to be a sexual predator to gain a suspect’s trust struck me as a bit creepy. Now I know why: “Tim Ballard’s exit from Operation Underground Railroad earlier this year followed an investigation into claims of sexual misconduct involving...

The money quote. I've been hoping against hope Milei would change all that but think it's too far gone now. I spent weeks on the ground in Argentina and Taiwan in 1996 deciding which one to expatriate to and chose Taiwan. Worked out really well. With the commies across the Strait planning to...

Socialism's fatal flaw is it can only envision one way to create a functioning economy: bleed the rich. Two problems with that economic model are you'll inevitably run out of other people's money because there's only so much of it and because "other people" and their money have legs so they...

China freed itself from its Maoist nightmare by turning its back on socialism and embracing a form of capitalism that would make even a robber baron blush. The Chinese Communist Party went along for the ride because even it recognized the bankruptcy of the socialist model. Under Xi Jinping it's...

Russia, China, Venezuela, Argentina . . . . every country they’ve tried to turn into a workers’ paradise. They’re in the process of doing the same thing to the US that they did to Argentina.The common thread is scapegoating the wealthy for their failures when their “workers’ paradises” turn out...

Demonizing the wealthy is the last refuge of socialists after they destroy another country and its economy.

72,000 people have jobs which allow them to buy a house, raise a family, save for retirement, pay college tuition, take vacations etc. Try building a successful society in which nobody has a job because there's no one there like Zuck to give them one.

Zuck has created 72,000 high-paying jobs so he can't be that evil. How many high-paying jobs have you created?

That’s genius. Bribing voters with their own money.

TLDW version: Peronism created a massive welfare state, a protectionist economy, a massive bureaucracy and tried to pay for it all by printing money. Result: a perennially sick economy, a financial system which doesn’t work, and a currency which is increasingly worthless.

The free lunch cult.

Not even God himself could sink the US Dollar. “Fitch Ratings recently downgraded the U.S. long-term credit rating from its top mark of AAA to AA+, marking the second time in history that a major credit-rating agency downgraded the United States. The first time was by Standard & Poor’s (S&P) in...

Excessives understandably hate Carlson because he's good at lifting up the rocks they're hiding under.

National prosperity isn't rocket science. All you need is a government which creates a stable economic system and a minimally intrusive tax and regulatory structure which allow entrepreneurs to flourish. Even countries with virtually no natural resources can become economic powerhouses if they...

The only thing government can do to create a prosperous society is to create an hospitable environment for creating goods and service. Engaging in endless, repetitive fiscal gimmicks instead is fool’s gold.

Argentina isn't socialist. Venezuela is socialist.

Argentina's government is a kleptocracy. The political class uses state money to buy votes so it has the power to steal money legally. They create a bureaucratic class to serve their kleptocracy. The bureaucratic class has only one goal: siphon up as much money as it can to serve its masters...

Dollarization would put the starving masses on a diet in order to curb the profligacy of the elites. It's not the structural change Argentina needs. Taiwan is a good model for how to run a country by unleashing the ability of people to create goods and services that constitute true prosperity as...

Class warfare is like a dog chasing a car. Once you defeat the business owning class then what? Rely on the government to create jobs in state-owned factories and offices? Build walls to keep running dog capitalists from voting with their feet?
