Argentina’s President Javier Milei continues to govern in ways that conservatives in America can only dream of. Now he’s come up with a new proposal that the U.S. would do well to copy. When Milei came into office, he promised to slash government spending, balance the budget, embrace free trade, deregulate the economy, and get hyperinflation under control. (“Experts” such as Paul Krugman said it would end in disaster.) Milei’s lived up to his promises. Month-over-month inflation was running at 25% when he took office; it’s below 2% now. Argentina ran a budget surplus in 2024, the first time since

Look at it the other way. If such a bill was passable in the US Congress, we won't be in the sorry shape we are. The opportunity to correct course is available to us. It comes every two years in November!

For nearly 40 years, the global warming cabal has spread fear and wasted resources on an emergency that doesn’t exist. While their influence has begun to wane, as their credibility has crashed and their lies have been exposed, the fabrications, exaggerations, and junk science continue. How much longer must we endure their campaign of rancid propaganda? The dawning moment of the global warming movement was NASA scientist James Hansen’s June 1988 testimony before the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee. “In my opinion,”
What If Nobody Wants To Run Mamdani’s
Grocery Stores?

Posted by RockyTCB 8/5/2026 9:54:53 AM Post Reply
New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s socialist dream of government-run grocery stores is off to a bad start. He’s already had to admit that customers will have to carry proof of residency to shop in them, that private companies — not the city — will run the stores, and that the first one won’t open for more than a year, and others not for three years. But Mamdani’s likely to face an even bigger problem if no legitimate grocer wants to get into bed with him. The “request for proposals” tacitly admits that his idea of government-run stores was stillborn, since he wants bids from private companies that have extensive experience
Will Illegal Immigration Be The Death
Of Europe?

Given the unchecked flood of illegal immigration now taking place across the European continent and Britain, the headline above asks a valid question: Will Europe in the future exist only as a territory, but not as a civilization and a culture? Spain is the latest flashpoint in Europe’s battle to maintain control over its borders. Last week’s stunning border break in Ceuta, a North African enclave that has been part of Spain for over 400 years, should be a wake-up call for all of Europe and the U.S., too. More than 60,000 migrants crossed en masse, with at least 57 dying in the violent chaos of breaking through the border and swimming

Early this summer, President Donald Trump eked out marginal gains in voters’ perceptions of his presidential performance. But in August, those gains weren’t repeated. Trump’s favorability among voters remained flat, even as the Iran war flared once again, pushing global energy prices higher. Each month, the national online I&I/TIPP Poll asks American voters to assess presidential performance, starting with: “Overall, is your opinion of Donald Trump generally favorable, generally unfavorable, or are you not familiar enough to say one way or the other?” In August’s poll, 39% held a “favorable” opinion of Trump’s time in office, versus a slim majority

We had to look twice at this headline in the New York Times to believe it. “In Trump’s Economy, Job Gains Go to Women. That’s Not an Entirely Good Thing.” Huh? Is the Times complaining that men are being shut out of the workforce? Maybe the subhead will clear things up? Nope. It says “Despite the administration’s best attempts, the diminishing status of many American jobs is driving a spike in women’s employment.” “Best attempts”? At what? Driving down women’s employment? Is that really something the Trump administration has been putting its “best efforts” to achieve?
A Modest Proposal To Tackle Government Fraud 10 replies
Posted by RockyTCB 7/31/2026 9:13:45 AM Post Reply
Every day, it seems, brings a new story of government fraud, which raises two questions: Why is fraud so rampant? And why is so little being done to combat it? An answer to both can be found in the more than 200 programs that the federal government pays for, but the states run. These are programs that spend a total of $1.2 trillion a year, and despite their openness to fraud, the government does little to combat it. The money to fund these programs passes through several hands, including state and local government agencies, private contractors, and so on, before reaching a beneficiary. And “every level added to the flow of funds
Morocco Speeds Past California 6 replies

Feasibility studies for a high-speed rail project began in 2006. By 2018, the first section was completed and opened, seven years after construction was started. Where is this bullet train? Not in California. It’s in Morocco. California voters approved in 2008 a ballot measure for a “safe, convenient, affordable, and reliable alternative to driving and high gas prices” by a 53%-47% margin. Golden Staters were sold a train that would require a $10 billion bond and cost $33 billion to complete. Within a dozen years it would be ripping up and down the state at 220 mph, ferrying passengers between San Diego and Sacramento.
Do Democrats Even Know What The DSA Stands For? 10 replies

A Fox News poll finds that a majority of Democrats say they have a favorable view of the Democratic Socialists of America. But our I&I/TIPP Poll found that Democrats reject – sometimes overwhelmingly – key DSA policy proposals. What explains the gap? The Fox Poll also found that 52% of Democrats have a favorable view of socialism, compared with 11% of Republicans and 17% of independents. Support for the Democratic Socialists of America is even stronger, with 59% of Democrats expressing a favorable view, compared with 6% of Republicans. As NBC News remarked, “step outside the Democratic Party,

One year ago, the International Court of Justice in The Hague declared that all nations are obligated to protect the sky from greenhouse gas emissions. It’s unfortunate, but climate zealotry stubbornly hangs on. The global warming cabal, which is less concerned with climate than abolishing capitalism and advancing their cult, has been showing cracks in recent years. A little more than a year ago, we noted that “our friend Steven Hayward,” a university professor and incisive thinker, had written “a compelling essay … about ‘The Nadir of the Climate Change Movement.'”
Why Isn’t The Left Boycotting ‘The

The Odyssey” is taking hits from conservatives, rightly so, for its “woke” casting. Some of director Christopher Nolan’s choices are indeed odd and distracting. (Why does the Bard look like a Rastafarian?) But it’s leftists who should be even more upset about the people chosen for key roles. Sure, the movie checks all the diversity boxes, which, according to our friends at Unleash Prosperity, is mandatory if you want your film to be considered for Best Picture in today’s leftist-controlled Hollywood. So, Nolan appeased the left’s diversity gods with a cast that, according to one count, is 50% white, 24% Latino and Hispanic, 12% black, and 9%

Florida Pizza Kitchen. It doesn’t have quite the ring to it that California Pizza Kitchen does. But had the iconic chain been dreamed up in the 2020s rather than the 1980s, it would have been FPK rather than CPK, not because the California Pizza Kitchen’s co-founders moved to Florida, though one did a couple of years ago, but due to the Golden State’s corrosive business policies. Not that long ago, California was “the greatest place to do business,” Rick Rosenfield, the CPK co-founder who fled to the Sunshine State, told Fox News Digital.

Francesca Hong, the radical leftist running for governor of Wisconsin, has been in the news for the last two days over negative comments she once made about Thanksgiving being a symbol of colonialism and ‘the original superspreader.’ Well, the polling on that must have come in because now Hong is out there telling people that Thanksgiving is her favorite holiday and she totally means it, everyone. These people have no shame. They will literally look you in the face and say whatever they think will open the doors of power for them. They think no one remembers a thing.
FDA approves 1st mRNA flu shot, from Moderna 25 replies
Posted by Dreadnought 8/6/2026 12:26:27 AM Post Reply
The Food and Drug Administration on Wednesday approved the U.S.’ first flu shot that uses mRNA technology: mFlusiva, from drugmaker Moderna. The FDA granted approval for two age groups, adults 50 to 65 and adults 65 and up, on the condition that Moderna run an additional clinical trial in the older group, the company said in a release. In a late-stage trial, mFlusiva was found to be about 27% more effective than a standard flu shot. Many scientists and public health experts have touted the idea of an mRNA-based flu vaccine, which uses the same messenger RNA platform as the Covid vaccines from Moderna and Pfizer.

Wednesday on CNN’s “OutFront,” Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-WA) claimed Republicans would vote for Michigan Democratic Senate Candidate Abdul El-Sayed. Jayapal said, “I’m struck by the fact that they have nothing positive to offer voters. All they can do is try to attach labels to Abdul El-Sayed after seeing a primary. That was a remarkable turnout from voters. I mean, 1.4 million votes, I believe, were cast in the Michigan primary; people are electrified and being on the ground with Abdul. I can tell you he is an electrifying candidate. He has really mobilized a whole group of voters who had given up

A Senate committee on Aug. 6 voted to hold Dr. Anthony Fauci, the former head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), in contempt of Congress. The Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs voted 8–5 along party lines. All Republicans voted to hold Fauci in contempt, contempt.

The Trump administration will require that some prospective immigrants post a bond of up to $250,000 in order to obtain a U.S. visa as part of a new pilot program aimed at ensuring those who seek a new home in America have the financial means to support themselves without taxpayer handouts, the Washington Free Beacon can reveal. The pilot bond program, which will go into effect Tuesday morning in conjunction with the Department of Homeland Security, will initially apply to certain immigrants from the Dominican Republic and could expand to other nations in the future.

Some blockbuster news is dropping Wednesday night as pertains to the ongoing congressional investigations into Anthony Fauci: a copy of the diminutive doctor's COVID-era phone has landed in the hands of the Senate Homeland Security Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations, which is chaired by Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI).According to an exclusive report in the Wall Street Journal, the phone was handed over by the Department of Health and Human Services, and is likely to contain additional records about Fauci's conduct during the pandemic. This comes a week after Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) publicly released an archive of documents related to Fauci's handling of COVID, including his diaries.

On the heels of President Donald Trump's Tuesday fundraiser in Los Angeles, and with the November midterms less than 100 days away, Washington Republicans hold a commanding financial edge over Washington Democrats that could prove decisive in key races for control of Congress. The Republican National Committee reported more than $128 million in cash on hand at the end of June with no debt, while the Democratic National Committee had about $16 million in cash and roughly $18.5 million in debt, leaving it in the red. The disparity extends to other national party committees and aligned super PACs,

Abdul El-Sayed is the latest Islamo-socialist terrorist-sympathizer star of the Democrat Party, after squeaking to a win in the Michigan Senate primary Tuesday. Although he underperformed his poll numbers and the predictions of his media boosters, the lockdown-loving health bureaucrat has accelerated the radical left’s conquest of the Democrat Party from within. If El-Sayed can pull off a victory in November in the Midwest, in the swingiest of swing states, what will stop a Marxist heading for the White House?

Only 25 years after the September 11 attacks on the United States, a major political party has fallen in with people who view that attack as deserved and the attackers as righteous. If it were parody, no one would accept it because good parody is based in truth and the truth is this fall of the Democratic Party is not believable. Sure, they’ve expressed sympathies for enemies of the United States before, but always for political advantage only; now they appear to mean it or are so afraid of it they won’t say anything to the contrary.
