Two Methods Of Funding Your Civilizationby Brett Stevens (November 7th, 2016) Associated Press reports on a small city run according to libertarian principles, including this momentary glimpse of clarity on the options for funding a human settlement: Their use of cash to pay for infrastructure has depleted reserves and left the city unable to produce the kind of investment income that for years helped hold down […] What It Is Like To Go Extinctby Brett Stevens (November 7th, 2016) Species die all the time. One day, there are plenty of them and their worries are personal if anything. Then they notice there are too few of them, and other species that are similar to them are greater in number. Finally they find they no longer have others of their species to be mates, and […] Liberal Democracy Dies, Realism Risesby Brett Stevens (November 7th, 2016) The next thousand years are ours. For the past thousand years, an idea has steadily been gaining momentum: that popular vote should decide questions of leadership, and that each person possesses “rights” — privileges without duties — on the basis of being human alone. Some say it began with the Magna Carta, which asserted the […] Entering The Age Of Permanent Holocaustby Brett Stevens (November 7th, 2016) Ynet News writes about the age of permanent holocausts: Since World War II, 86 million people have been killed, and mainly slaughtered.

An empath, or one who […] Election Plansby Brett Stevens (November 6th, 2016) It has been decided that in this house, we will hope for the best in the election, but spend the day watching Lord of the Rings and thinking on what it is we want for society. That movie series follows the quest of a motley band of officially unimportant citizens in their quest to restore […] Victor Davis Hanson Comes Close To Seeing The Brutal Truthby Brett Stevens (November 6th, 2016) From one of the more exciting pieces to be published at National Cuckold Digest, Victor Davis Hanson tells us all about the Clintons: For the Clintons, power is the narcotic of being sought out, of being surrounded by retainers, of bringing enemies to heel and enticing sycophants with benefits. Liberalism and progressivism are mere social […] Outrage — Not Despondency — Can Save Conservatives After FBI Betrayalby Brett Stevens (November 6th, 2016) After the FBI betrayal, the Left is counting on two things: first, the Leftist base will be energized with a sense of entitlement and revenge, and second that conservatives will as usual become despondent and resignedly throw in the towel as they have for most of the past seven decades. Outrage, not despondency, is our […] FBI Creates Two-Punch Boost For Clintonby Brett Stevens (November 6th, 2016) By now most have realized that the FBI, after beginning an investigation with much fanfare, has declined to charge Hillary Clinton with a crime. The timing was suspicious and now is impeccable. When Director James B. Comey announced that he was re-opening the investigation, outrage was unanimous on the Left — which should have clued […] |
