H.L. Mencken was correct in his assessment of democracy and elections. It’s about getting something for nothing, always and necessarily from someone else’s pot.

The name of President-elect Donald Trump’s so-called Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) is tellingly ambiguous. Despite the “department” label, Trump says DOGE, which will be overseen by billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk and former presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy, will “provide advice and guidance from outside of government.” That makes DOGE sound more like an advisory committee […]

Equalization methods and strategies may vary, but some degree of coercion is guaranteed once it is decided to equalize human beings. The philosopher Antony Flew characterized egalitarianism as a […]
Yesterday, the Supreme Court denied certiorari in two cases, G-Max Management v. New York and Building and Realty Institute of Westchester and Putnam Counties, Inc. v. New York, that sought to challenge the constitutionality of New York’s rent stabilization laws, primarily on Fifth Amendment Takings Clause grounds. The Roberts Court has been quite sympathetic to Takings Clause […]

While the butter listed “cream” as an ingredient, the packaging lacked a critical allergen warning alerting consumers that butter contains milk.
