The Biggest Fool I Have Ever Encountered
Written by Gary North on November 26, 2016
I have been writing publicly ever since 1958. Over the years, I have received my fair share of letters from crackpots, really stupid people, and people so far beyond the fringe that I wonder how they function. Nevertheless, I have received an email from a man who puts them all to shame. I wrote an […]

Written by Gary North on November 19, 2016
Recently, I presented my plan for reducing the flow of illegal immigrants by 80% by the end of 2018. Now it’s time to deal with the illegals who are already here. There are an estimated 11 million illegals. There may be as many as 20 million. The low-ball estimate of the cost of tracking down […]

Written by Gary North on November 19, 2016
Donald Trump used a visual image for “seal off the border.” He used a wall. He isn’t going to build a wall. He will not ask Congress for the funding. He doesn’t need to. The border can be policed by satellites and a few thousand low-cost drones. The technology is cheap. It is available now. […]

Written by Gary North on July 9, 2016
Except when he offers his views on tariffs, namely, that sales taxes on imports would help America, I like Pat Buchanan’s views. He sees that the West is in a state of moral decline. He sees that Europe is committing suicide demographically. This is visible in the various national birth rates: below replacement rate of […]

Written by Gary North on November 21, 2015
In 1980, Jimmy Carter got a law through Congress to set up a government-funded refugee resettlement program. You can read about it here. Under this program, our tax dollars have paid to fly 100,000 Somalis and 100,000 Iraqis to the U.S. They then go on local welfare rolls. All the political posturing about the border […]

Written by Gary North on November 7, 2015
At the same time, this is only the beginning of the crisis, because the conditions inciting people to flee their homelands will only worsen. And the EU, many of whose members have the world’s largest and best-equipped welfare systems, appears to be overwhelmed by it — politically, morally, and administratively. This paralysis creates a significant […]

Written by Gary North on October 3, 2015
Europe is humanistic. “Religion doesn’t divide us any more.” Europe is liberal. “We’re all liberals here.” Europe has a huge welfare state. “Come and get it!” Europe does not reproduce at replacement rate: 2.1 children per woman. “The future is irrelevant.” Here comes the future!

Written by Gary North on December 22, 2014
Central planning by the federal government is officially opposed by conservatives until you show them a marker that says “United States” on one side, and “Mexico” on the other. Then: “Congress needs to build a fence!” The believers in fences offer many arguments. Some of them say this: “Those people want to get free government […]

Written by Gary North on December 22, 2014
The prestigious Financial Times offers an explanation for the West’s pessimism. It blames aging. It does not blame Keynesianism. It does not blame a loss of faith in the idea of progress, a factor that Robert Nisbet warned against in the Epilogue to his great book, History of the Idea of Progress (1980). It does […]
