A new paper published by the National Bureau of Economic Research finds a “clear preponderance” of evidence that minimum wage laws reduce employment.

But newly released research undercuts […]
VIDEO: Biden Pumps out Orders, Not Oil
Here’s a sentence you’ll never see on CNN: “President Joe Biden, hoping to stack his first 100 days with as many achievements as possible, has relied heavily on the use of executive orders.” Or this: “While the orders have run the gamut from immigration to federal lands, they all offer Biden a key benefit: […]
Arizona Is Now a High Tax State Thanks to Prop 208
Do you remember when people were flocking to Arizona? When new employers, entrepreneurs, and families found our state attractive because of its low taxes? It wasn’t that long ago.

3 Harmful Consequences of Biden Killing the Keystone XL Pipeline
From CO2 emissions to jobs to investment, the president’s move will have the opposite of its intended effect.

The Checkmating of America
We’re now learning why our Founders placed freedom of the press and freedom of speech—among other key rights—in the First Amendment in our Bill of Rights. For it is the chicanery, sabotage and subversive propaganda of the American media that has landed us where we are today. To prove this point, let me illustrate what […]

China Loves Coal Far More Than Wind
We have all heard about China building a lot of coal plants, but the central role coal plays in their booming economy is amazing. It is a big reason they are the world’s leading manufacturer.

Economic Ignorance On Full Display
In 2009, my California cousin was here in Atlanta for the filming of the Sandra Bullock movie, “The Blind Side.” Before retiring a few years ago, he traveled the world working long hours as a set worker on many of Hollywood’s biggest blockbuster films. While he was here, he complained bitterly about unequal pay in […]

Why corporate America loves the Left
The leftward drift of many American business executives is driven by dubious economic calculations as well as cultural and political pressures. Amid the political ads with which we are bombarded during every election, one theme emphasised by progressive candidates concerns the evils of business. Corporate America is especially singled out for allegedly not paying enough […]
Biden’s First Act is Economic Insanity
Everyone wishes success to our incoming President. Unlike the crowd that hated Trump, Republicans will not be sitting with their voodoo dolls sticking pins into them in hopes of Biden falling on his face. As much as I would like to applaud Biden’s $1.9 trillion stimulus plan, it would be an act of economic insanity […]
Censorship Movement Turns to the ‘Loophole’ of Podcasts
The Associated Press, always a reliable source of establishment policy messaging, has a new target for the censors: Podcasts. An article released by AP on January 15 entitled “Extremists exploit a loophole in social moderation: Podcasts,” posted on countless news websites, expresses frustration that the censors can’t easily get at podcasts.

Beijing Biden to KILL Keystone XL Pipeline

Big Tech Doesn’t Censor Conservatives and Other Myths
We’ve moved from ‘conservatives should build their own platforms’ to ‘conservatives don’t deserve their own platforms’. For several years, I’ve been highlighting Big Tech bias when I encounter it, knowing that my ability to do so online may not last forever. I’ve received a lot of pushback to this. The many examples I’ve provided were […]
Prop 208 Voters Were Deceived—Now Small Businesses Are Paying the Price
They said it wouldn’t happen. They said that Proposition 208 wouldn’t affect the Arizona economy or small businesses. But here we are, just two weeks into the new year, and small businesses are already seeing the effects of a disastrous income tax increase. How could this be? After all, Andrea Nemecek, the state director for […]
The Fight to Keep Schools Closed Has Proven Thomas Sowell Correct About Teachers’ Unions
Their willingness to put children last and fight to keep schools closed has proven once and for all that teachers’ unions do not, in fact, have kids’ best interests at heart.

Beijing Biden Calls for ‘At Least’ a $15 Minimum Wage
The D-bags destroyed small business with the political weaponization of COVID lockdowns. This is the death blow. Even the stock market tanked on this news.

Takeout Only | How California Elites Crushed LA’s Local Restaurants
It was a dark winter for most small business owners across America, but Los Angeles County in particular was decimated by draconian lockdown measures right before the holidays.

Twitter Reaches Hypocritical Mass
Twitter is opposed to government’s restricting speech; maybe it is because they don’t want competition. In a development that is adding more fuel to the fires against Big Tech, Jack Dorsey’s company made the astonishingly bad PR move to tweet about the situation in Uganda. In what comes across as delusional, Twitter tried to position […]
