Marx’s Economic Forecasts: Over 150 Years of Failure

Granite Grok - Fri, 2025-05-23 02:00 +0000
From atop the flawed foundation of the Labor Theory of Value, Karl Marx made a series of predictions about capitalism that time has proven incorrect. Among these are the immiseration of the masses due to capital accumulation, chronic overproduction, capitalist-driven imperialism, and the inevitable rise of monopolies. Immiseration Even during Marx’s lifetime, capitalism was already ... Read more

ICYMI – Putting Some Fun Back Into Education Funding?

Granite Grok - Fri, 2025-05-23 00:00 +0000
Education is a mess, and funding it is a mess. Costs are high, learning is low, and there are many ideas about what to do that don’t even begin to address the purpose of public education or its problems. Back in January, Ian and Jodi Underwood joined me to talk about all things education, and ... Read more

Roper: Another Unnecessary Hit to Small Businesses

Granite Grok - Thu, 2025-05-22 22:00 +0000
H.461—An act expanding employee access to unpaid leave passed both the House and Senate, its fate now in the hands of Governor Scott. Having failed to pass a taxpayer-funded paid family leave program, lawmakers pivoted to this new mandate on Vermont businesses that they provide up to twelve weeks of unpaid leave to care for themselves ...

MacDonald: Trump’s FDA Adopts Very Un-Antivaxxer Priorities

Granite Grok - Thu, 2025-05-22 20:00 +0000
You’ll have by now learned that the FDA no longer recommends boosters for the Chinese Virus to anyone under 64 or younger unless they fit an immunocompromised profile. Or that before it can begin to consider that injection for anyone else, manufacturers will have to prove a clinical benefit. You can’t just say it’s safe ... Read more

Virginia Allen – The Daily Signal Troops chanted “U.S.A.” at the largest U.S. military base in the Middle East as President Donald Trump took the podium before them on Thursday.   The president touted the changes his administration has already made to the U.S. military, such as reinstating service members expelled under the Biden administration for not ...

MacDonald: A New Excuse To Jack Up Your Car Insurance Rates?

Granite Grok - Thu, 2025-05-22 16:00 +0000
No one complains as much if their vehicle insurance rates are higher because they bought a car thieves love more than others. You can complain if you didn’t know that, but then that’s no one else’s job but yours. Before you buy a car, it makes sense to do some research. Vehicles with higher rates ... Read more

Klar: When the Government Wrongs a Citizen, Who Should Cover the Court Costs?

Granite Grok - Thu, 2025-05-22 14:00 +0000
During President Biden’s tenure, the USDA conditioned the receipt of disaster relief funds for farmers based on race. Some white farmers sued, alleging this was unconstitutional racial discrimination, leading several federal courts to implement nationwide preliminary injunctions against the practice. Congress repealed the offending provisions, and the farmers were vindicated for this blatant racial bias. ... Read more

MacDonald: The Future of Democrats And Planned Parenthood

Granite Grok - Thu, 2025-05-22 12:00 +0000
I’m not sure how many men do the majority of the grocery shopping, but in my house, it is me. Even before my office left me and I started working from home, my office job made it convenient to stop at any number of destinations to pick up groceries or household items. I’d be a ... Read more

Bradley: Comey, Adam, And Eve

Granite Grok - Thu, 2025-05-22 10:00 +0000
I wonder if former FBI director James Comey’s wife’s first name is Eve?   In the Bible story, Eve, after being persuaded by the serpent to eat the forbidden apple from the Tree of Good and Evil in the Garden of Eden, persuades Adam to eat the apple as well.  Because of their transgression, God expells ...

Marxist Theories of Oppression

Granite Grok - Thu, 2025-05-22 02:00 +0000
To Marxists, everything is inherent and inevitable. Human beings are inherently constrained to act as they do by their prevailing material conditions, leading inevitably to class conflicts. They view human beings as captive to the ideology of their class. Karl Marx argued that, owing to inherent class conflict, individuals cannot view problems objectively—or even individually ...

MacDonald: Wrong Color Refugee Problem

Granite Grok - Wed, 2025-05-21 22:00 +0000
The recent matter of white South African refugees waving American flags upon their arrival in the United States has more triggers than a gun store. Lefties are losing what passes for their hive mind. And I can’t help but wonder if Mr. Trump and his crew did not orchestrate this process to allow Dems to ... Read more

MacDonald: DC Dem Discovers Inconvenient Truth About the Minimum Wage

Granite Grok - Wed, 2025-05-21 20:00 +0000
Don’t expect them to admit that you were right. About what? Raising the minimum wage for tipped employees would result in lost hours, fewer jobs, higher prices, and restaurant closings. If you are reading this, assuming you are not some progressive troll, you knew that. The real minimum wage is zero, which is where more ... Read more

Seeking signatures for an important MAHA letter A battle for our health currently centers on the use of pesticides and other chemicals in American farming.

Cutting Military Spending Would Make for a Big and Beautiful Bill

Granite Grok - Wed, 2025-05-21 14:00 +0000
Last week, Moody’s Ratings lowered the United States credit rating. Fitch Ratings and S&P Global Ratings had already lowered the US rating. This new downgrade was driven by Congress’s failure to make any efforts to reduce the almost 37 trillion dollars national debt. When Moody’s made its announcement, the House Budget Committee was scrambling to ... Read more

Yesterday evening, Julian was talking about a long-term problem: getting “our side” to get off their ass and show up. I know, we ... Read more

Lemiska: Another Democratic Brainstorm – Sidling up to Evil

Granite Grok - Wed, 2025-05-21 10:00 +0000
It’s no wonder that the approval ratings for the Democrat Party remain at record lows. Party leaders can’t seem to come up with an agenda that isn’t devious, deceptive, and self-serving. More often than not, their political strategies are just plain bizarre. Who can forget their “defund the police” fiasco? During the 2020 presidential election, ... Read more

Bovard: There’s No Vaccination against Unlimited Political Power

Granite Grok - Wed, 2025-05-21 02:00 +0000
Late in the last century, theater goers were jolted when a character in the X-Files movie declared that the Federal Emergency Management Agency can allow “the White House to suspend constitutional government upon declaration of a national emergency.” If the same line was used before thoughtful movie audiences nowadays, the response might be bitter cat ...
