“Why Don’t You go Kill Yourself?” – Two GOP Candidates Assaulted In Minnesota, at zerohedge.com. These crazy leftists can’t be helping the image of Democrat party, Can they?

UN Climate Change Report: A Choice Between “Mad Max And Hunger Games”, at zerohedge.com. I hope more and more people are seeing the ‘global warming’ crisis for what it is. It is an attempt to redistribute the wealth of the US to other countries. And it is also a government power grab.

These two directions are also described as the “American tradition” which “prioritizes free speech for democracy, not civility” and the “European tradition” which “favors dignity over liberty and civility over freedom.”

Some Economic Lessons About Trade For Donald Trump From Milton Friedman and Henry George, by Mark J. Perry, at carpediemblog. When you look at the direct economic consequences of Trumps trade policies. They won’t work. In fact they hurt us. But he is looking at these policies as a form of leverage to get our trade partners to get rid of their trade policies (policies which hurt them). It would be nice to live in a world where government didn’t interfere with individuals trading with each other. But governments are too big to keep their nose out of individual exchanges. As I have said before, Trump is walking a tight rope. His safety net may be the overall strength of the US economy. Which may be able to absorb the negative economic consequences of his actions before these countries change policies.
