Leftist Comedian Comes Clean: "Nothing Is Free... Especially College"

eLizardBreath Warren's attempt to stick the average Joe with Richey Rich the poor little rich kid's college costs is a terrible idea. I didn't expect you would realize that, but I am pleased you did.

Why Are Clapper And Brennan Not In Jail?

Now that the report is issued, I expect the shoes will begin to drop before long. The first will be Horowitz, but I expect many more to follow. Clapper and Brennan are low enough to merit prison time, so I expect the long knives to get them. Hillary and Obama are probably high enough to escape most of the serious nastiness although who knows. Trump has to be pissed.

Much of what we see now is an attempt to muddy up the waters and make any real investigation into a payback campaign by Trump and company. It isn't, but that is all the Dems have so it is what they will fight with.

Anti-Jewish hate consuming Europe and America, says French Nazi hunter

It is not consuming the classical liberals, the libertarians, the independents, or the conservatives. The Dems are pretty much in the antisemitic tank with the progressives on this one, however.

He wasn't allowed to bring his dog inside a bar. Then he rammed the bartender with his car, police say.

Then he sped off; he's a dangerous wanted fugitive.

Goodbye Handshakes? Some Companies Considering Banning All Physical Contact In Workplace

If businesses want people not to touch, letting them work from home should all but ensure that outcome. When did the workplace become a 1970 fundamentalist college? The rules then and there were simple, no touching, no public displays of affection, and no fraternizing with the opposite sex in private.

Sounds like the workplace in the modern SJW world. Or businesses could break out the Burkas!

I'd rather work from home.

Rosenstein resigns

The FBI and the DOJ are filled with Deep Staters, and they all need to go. I suspect that in the end, we will need to cut off a lot of healthy wood to be sure we cut out the corrupted, such are the problems of allowing corruption to grow unchecked for more than 40 years.

I would not be surprised if we needed to cut loose the entire senior FBI and DOJ staffs.

Food Prices in 1919 Compared to Today

The Fake News media repeats many falsehoods, one of the most damaging is that wages have stagnated since the 1970s and the standard of living is falling compared to years of yore. Neither of these opinions is valid. Compounding the problem these opinions commonly appear in the news section of the media, not in the editorial section.

This article nicely summarizes the truth that food prices are falling like a rock when compared to the past.

It also provides support for the fact that the stagnant wage argument is false. The stagnant wage argument has been frequently debunked but assuming it were true; it is not sufficient to know whether the individual's economic position would be worsened if it were true. The example here is apropos. If the individual's wage were stagnant, but prices generally were dropping along the lines of food, the stagnant wage would be highly unlikely to result in a decline in the individual's economic position.

The reason is simply that the price decline outweighs any minor inflationary increase the individual might see.
