The massive spending […]
It has always been antithetical to the spirit of the Constitution to require a license to own a firearm As of September 1, you no longer have to pay the government to carry a gun in Texas. Most people think of Texas as the Wild West and may be surprised this was ever the case […]
From trillions in COVID-19 spending to a $1+ trillion “infrastructure” bill, the federal government has spent so much taxpayer money over the last year-and-a-half that it beggars belief. You’d think the folks in Washington, DC would have run out of ways to waste our money by now. (How can anyone be this creative?) But Senate […]
Here’s why the plan would create zero jobs, on net. The bipartisan infrastructure legislation moving through Congress could end up on President Biden’s desk before we know it.

Bureaucrats huddled in some office somewhere failed to foresee the costs of their actions. The pandemic has undoubtedly hastened the shift to remote work.

Rowe knows the value of hard work, so it’s worth taking his recent warning on minimum wage hikes seriously. Mike Rowe knows the value of hard work.

It’s simply naive and ignorant of human nature to expect people—especially the kind of people who become politicians—to dole out trillions of dollars without any hint of favoritism or impropriety.
