Pedestrian Economics

I love being right! Time after time, I see my words vindicated. I fell like an exceptionally good-looking Nostradamus! The latest case would be the evolving discussions inside the beltway about mass data collection. As I said in 16 20 24, there was one and only one reason to have this data in the hands […]

“There’s a sucker born every minute.” That’s a quote attributed to P.T. Barnum, who never underestimated the American credulity. I am not sanguine about our chances of winning the presidential election this year. We have two groups of people to thank for that. The Republican establishment is one. They account for part of the problem. […]

Don’t you love how the Orwellian statists pervert the argument? After showing breathtaking cowardice FOR YEARS in the face of violence by superstitious nut bags, they then accuse those who reject their plans, out of common sense, of acting out of fear. Please, everyone on the left and center left, reject these embarrassing, extreme idiots […]

There is potential for a real sea change in the presidential race starting tonight. With a team of economic experts moderating what they promise will be a serious debate, the candidates will find themselves in a format where they can really shine or go down in flames. The two people with the most to loose, […]

I watched Bob Woodward on the talking heads on Sunday (1 Nov 15). What a piece of work this guy is. He’s been pontificating for decades as the elder statesman of the media. Such lofty stature is the result of one story that was spoon fed to him in the early 1970s. That’s when he […]

I know everyone has been siting by their computers waiting to hear from me. Hey, I had to do some chores today. This is my take on the debates. Trump was his usual inarticulate self. No damage done. Reality TV fans will continue to swoon. The four from the early debate plus Kasich and Huckabee […]

I’d like to thank Greg Gutfeld for his unintentional endorsement of the central message of 16 20 24. He appeared mystified, along with some of his co-hosts, about the refreshing tone of this year’s campaign. He said how we’re seeing the veneer stripped away from the candidates and they are being so refreshingly honest. That […]

So, Joe Biden is out. Too bad. As I said recently, if he had come out swinging for the fences, Hilary would have been indicted. If Joe had done so, she would have lost enough support to have been defanged. The bureaucrats investigating her would have lost all fear of her. Echoing in my mind […]

I am not endorsing anyone yet. And I don’t see eye-to-eye with Cruz on a few things (identity voting for starters). But I give him two thumbs up, five stars, a high five and a secret handshake for this sentence. Kudos Ted. Read the sentence heard around the world. Matt Jordan is a travel writer, […]

I went to a meeting of the Jackson County Republican Club on Wednesday at La Fiesta Brava. If you are a local conservative or Republican (not always the same thing) and are not spending time with these folks, you’re messing up. These are good people getting involved in what is happening and trying very hard […]

The Dem debate was worse than I thought it would be, a woman lying and four men kissing her ass. All the while they painted a picture of America that would give Joe Stalin the giggles. What a pathetic display of childish naiveté. Free stuff for everybody! Yay! You would think all five were really […]

I just got home from a meeting of the Jackson County Republican Executive Committee. Excellent meeting! I am looking forward to joining the Republican Club next week and standing for nomination as a delegate in Vancleave. Yes folk, that means your incredibly handsome host and his lovely wife are not the type who sit and […]

I went to see W speak in Gulfport a couple of weeks ago. What a great day. I walked to the park near the sea wall. The event was in a big pavilion. There were no metal detectors, nobody was required to strip down and empty everything they had into little buckets. We kept our […]

“The world wonders.” These words from Chester Nimitz unintentionally, we are told, rattled Bull Halsey during the battle of Leyte Gulf. Halsey got roped, by a Japanese ruse, into chasing a worthless fleet away from the landing zone in the Philippines. When the ruse became clear and Nimitz wanted to rally his fleet, he dashed […]

Some people feel I’m am too harsh in my writings about Obama, Hillary and the four morons (well five morons now if you include McCarthy). In reality, I am too easy on them. I usually use snark and humorous sarcasm in most of my rants to take the edge off and make my treatment of […]

Hillary Clinton is a CRIMINAL! Update: 30 Jan 16 Within the last two weeks we have learned that there were SAP level documents on Hillary Clinton’s server. We learned that BJ Bill’s hag told people to delete headings on sensitive documents and send them unclas (Intentional criminal activity – and we have it in writing). […]

Update: There is a lot of talk about making Ryan speaker. there are two things you can say about Ryan. 1) He’s a great numbers cruncher and is most effective right where he us. 2) Boehner is staying put hoping to talk Ryan into the job because politically, Ryan is a Boehner boy. DRAFT AN […]

I have wanted to start an essay that grew out of a discussion I had with Queen Brandi on Twitter. I had made a comment about Freddie Grey, jackpot justice and raising better kids. QB challenged this and suggested that I was likely being racist. Normally, I’d blow off such a comment or even make […]

Important stuff first: On the recommendation of my friend and widely respected philosopher, Tom Martin, I thought this an excellent opportunity to weigh in on some significant social issues. Kim Kardashian is a fat-assed bimbo. Bruce Jenner is still a guy in a dress. In the last debate, Donald Trump looked like Joe Pesci imitating […]
