Capitalism in the Crosshairs: How Progressive Democrats in Congress Plan to Attack Corporate America
History teaches us that the march toward state control rarely begins with a sudden coup; it begins with a narrative.

Ludwig von Mises Was Right: America Has Become a Daycare Center for Economic Failure
A century ago, Ludwig von Mises warned that socialism couldn’t repeal economic reality. Today, America has perfected capitalism without consequences, where profits are private, losses become public, and Uncle Sam runs an economic daycare center funded by taxpayers. From Soviet collapse to Venezuela’s economic disaster, history keeps delivering the same lesson: government cannot manufacture prosperity by subsidizing failure. Yet Washington keeps trying, armed with trillion-dollar deficits and apparently fewer than two functioning brain cells.
Red Votes, Green Money: When MAGA Starts Smelling Like the Swamp
I voted for Trump three times and voted red again in 2026. But I didn’t vote for another Middle Eastern war or to turn the White House into a family ATM. With billions flowing through Trump family business ventures and Saudi money financing Jared Kushner’s investment firm, something smells like a Washington swamp rat. Maybe it’s all legal. Fine. Open the books. Because if foreign money smelled rotten when the Bidens were involved, it doesn’t suddenly smell like roses when Republicans cash the checks. I voted for America, not a royal family.
Out: Republican Dumbness. In: Democrat Dumbness. Always: Uniparty Dumbness
For part of my election analysis, I paraphrase the great rock poet Peter Townshend:
“Meet the new dumb – same as the old dumb.”

ChiCom Carrots and Sticks Capture Multinational Corporations
A corporate capture risk assessment with Chinese characteristics
Beijing does not need to nationalize a foreign firm to make it useful. It only has to condition continued access to its market, manufacturing base, or capital on cooperation, then let ordinary corporate incentives finish the job.
A multinational board need not answer to the Party to act as if it does. It need only conclude, repeatedly and rationally, that principled resistance costs more than accommodation. That calculation, made many small times over a decade or more, is what “capture” usually looks like. It is not one dramatic order, but cumulative drift in which self-censorship, data localization, silence on human rights, and favoritism toward state-linked partners become the path of least resistance.
Jensen Huang is ‘DEAD WRONG’ about this: Rep Brian Mast
Rep. Brian Mast, R-Fla., discusses Nvidia’s investigation into CEO Jensen Huang over an alleged affair with a suspected Chinese spy and the U.S.-China AI race on ‘The Story.’
McConaughey, Carlin, Hedges and the Outsiders: What I Wish This Election Was
I have long been a man without a political Party. Certainly as the Republican and Democrat Parties are constituted nationally. And since DC has spent the last many decades usurping as much state and local power as possible? The down ballot Parties more and more resemble the national ones.

When Things Go Right, It’s the Boss. When Things Go Wrong, It’s Everybody Else.
Have you ever noticed how some leaders have an amazing ability to take credit for success while avoiding responsibility for failure?
America First And The Larger Strategy Behind The Headlines
The bigger view one takes of the world today, the clearer the picture becomes.
Americans are often asked to judge foreign policy one headline at a time. A tariff announcement. An energy agreement. A demand that an ally pay more for its defense. Each becomes a separate controversy, and the larger strategic question disappears beneath the noise.

Biz as Usual: Musk’s Starlink Is a Very Expensive and Inefficient Proposition
There are many, MANY problems with the US government sloshing trillions of dollars per annum throughout the economy.
Ironically, trillions of those dollars over the decades have been sloshed around in the name of “sustainability.” Except one thing that is absolutely un-sustainable? The massive debt DC has accrued sloshing around those tens of trillions of dollars.

Loyalty Is a Two-Way Street. Too Many Leaders Forget That.
I’ve spent much of my adult life in leadership positions, first in the Army, then in corporate America, and eventually as a small business owner. Along the way, I’ve encountered leaders who inspired tremendous loyalty from the people around them. Then…there were the others.

Raising robots: Musk gave an insight into how he does things.
The flying car demonstration last week was cute but don’t expect to drive like George Jetson any time soon. Humanoid robots, however, are starting to get into production with the old Tesla plant in Fremont, California, hoping to crank out 20,000 a week by the end of next year.
