Shrink the State. End the Fed. Balance the budget. Make a profit. Leave an inheritance.

Jerry Curry, a retired major general, has written an editorial on the purchase of ammo. I first met him in 1988 when he was working for Pat Robertson. He is no crackpot. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * The Social Security Administration (SSA) confirms […]

A report from the federal government’s Department of Health and Human Services reveals that the folks at HHS are on top of things. They are seeing to it that spending is kept under control. It seems that the State of New York submitted a bill in 2010 for $1.3 billion for expenses in fiscal 2009. […]

Yes, he really said it. He is an honest man. These were the opening words of a New York Times Op-Ed article. He got my attention! Then he explained. Well, maybe not death panels, exactly, but unless we start allocating health care resources more prudently — rationing, by its proper name — the exploding cost […]

The Department of Education of New York City has adopted a program to give free anti-birth pills to teenage girls. Some of these girls will be injected in advance. Parents can opt out in advance. But unless they do, their daughters are fair game. So far, no more than 2% of parents have opted out. […]

In 2008, candidate Obama promised that his administration would cut health care premiums by $2,500 per year per American family. But, since 2009, premiums have risen by $2,370 a year. This is a huge hit on family budgets. It will get a lot worse. Government is in charge of American medicine. State governments license physicians […]

We are afflicted as a nation with terrible risks. Despite OSHA, despite workplace education, Americans are becoming disabled. The Social Security Administration has released the grim statistics: over 8.7 million Americans are disabled. That is one out of 16 working Americans. In 1967, this figure was one out of 65. This increase tells us either […]

I went to see 2016: Obama’s America. Dinesh D’Souza wrote, stars in, directed, narrates, and did the original research for it. If we look at this from the point of view of its success as a documentary, I think it is effective. It is making money in theaters. This is amazing for a documentary. It […]

When a national government runs up huge bills by selling bonds, it cannot pay. So, it stalls. It says it will pay. It refuses to pay. The people who trusted the government and bought its bonds are ruined. The people who knew it was all a con job remain unharmed. We are seeing this play […]

Recently, I ran a story about Social Security. It has placed an order for 174,000 rounds of hollow-point (dum-dum) ammunition. A lot of other sites posted this story. So, the Social Security Administration had its PR department (Office of External Relations) issue a memo. There is a perfectly good reason for this order. You see, […]

In the same way that we should think of every gun as loaded, we should think of old people as armed and dangerous. They must be dealt with severely when they become a threat to the public. This is why the Social Security Administration has ordered 174,000 rounds of .357 ammunition. And not just .357. […]
