"Past Is Prologue: The Crash of 1929"
*"Past Is Prologue: The Crash of 1929"* by Jesse "People believed that everything was going to be great always, always. There was a feeling of optimism in the air that you cannot even describe today. There was great hope. America came out of World War I with the economy intact. We were the only strong country in the world. The dollar was king. We had a very popular president in the middle of the decade, Calvin Coolidge, and an even more popular one elected in 1928, Herbert Hoover. So things looked pretty good.

"Time Passages & Fears Emergent"
*"Time Passages & Fears Emergent"* By Doug “Uncola” Lynn "A few months ago I had this dream. I’m driving alone at highway speed on a causeway over a large body of water. The road was just a few feet higher than the rippling waves. Suddenly, I noticed a black mini-van about fifty yards to my left, bobbing on the water’s surface. The hood and front wheels were submerged and its tail-end began to rise as the vehicle sank in a manner similar to the scene from Titanic – it was going down bow first. As I was processing what I saw to my left, the next thing I knew I was in the water myse... more »

Trump Unleashes On Uber-Hawk Bolton: We'd Be Fighting "The Whole World At One Time"
I do not know how anyone can be a hawk. There is no rational basis for War itself, but ample rationalizations. The entire wealth of a nation is based on its young people in particular and their future economic contribution. Every death is a direct loss of wealth.

Thus they present a robust face to the chicken hawks everywhere else while leaving the final decision to Trump.

How to Solve the Hardest Logic Puzzle Ever

That is what is initially hard and teachers really need to be conscious of this. This would actually be an excellent component of a logic course that allowed the students mind to transition properly to the language of logic.. *Ho... more »

The Stanford Professor Who Fought the Tax Lobby
The way we do taxes is bizarre and the obvious bulk of the market only provides a fraction of the revenue for tax preparers as well. It really is a tax on the majority to subsidize the preparers, when their real money comes from the minority who really need the work done. Those contracts are worth many times more that the base charge for merely filling in a form for the majority. It has already been done and it needs to be universal. This shows that the problems were fixable without any special change. What needs to happen is that the IRS has to make it all happen, allowing... more »

Debate Climate Freakout
By David Wojick, Ph.D. ~ The climate crisis crusaders are very unhappy about the first two Democrat candidate debates. If you think (irrationally) that the future of the human species is somehow at stake, then the few scant and mostly empty minutes devoted to the topic are very upsetting. Hence their anger. As I said […]

Homophobia Is Still A Problem-- And Not Exclusively In The GOP... Meet Status Quo Joe, Who's No Harvey Milk
*Biden's never passin' that torch voluntarily-by Nancy Ohanian* Unlike most Americans, I didn’t first hear of Status Quo Joe when Obama used him to balance his ticket— one black guy + one racist guy; one anti-war guy + one warmonger; one moderate + one conservative— in 2008. Nope I had been carefully following Biden’s ugly and always-repulsive political career since he was just some lowlife racist piece of dog crap in Delaware trying to kickstart a political career by campaigning against busing— exactly as Louise Day Hicks was doing in Boston and Bobbi Fiedler was doing in L.A., bo... more »
Kamala Harris Has No Problem Being Black, But Why Doesn’t She Say Publicly She’s Part Asian?
Kamala Harris likes to say she’s American. Of course. But she’s not generic. Her racial subtext is this: On her father’s side she’s half-Jamaican, and on her mother’s side she’s half-Asian Indian. Harris should say it proudly and often. Because there’s a lot of misunderstanding out there. Just ask Donald Trump Jr.

Recession On The Way? Trump Will Make It Worse With Another Massive Tax Cut For The Rich
*Trump has an even worse one in mind now* Trump wants to put through another big tax cut for the wealthy before the election and Bloomberg News is reporting that the regime thinks it can be done without approval from Congress— which certainly wouldn’t be coming. The plan is “to cut taxes by indexing capital gains to inflation. *Vanity Fair*’s Bess Levin explained how the plan is designed to give 86% of its benefits to the one percent, by significantly reducing taxes on long-held investments. “Currently,” she wrote, “when an asset like real estate or a stock is sold, tax is paid on t... more »

How Taiwan Can Defend Its Coastline Against China
*J. Michael Cole* *Security, Asia* [image: Reuters] Tanks and large surface ships don't make sense anymore; but drones, artificial intelligence, and unmanned defenses do.

This remains a possibility even though Beijing ostensibly views this option as a last resort and the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) may not yet have sufficient capabilities and confidence to invade Taiwan. As a result, it is incumbent upon Taipei to ensure it has the wherewithal to deter, a...more »
Uncertainty on Trade is Killing American Businesses
*Robert Krol* *economy, Americas* [image: Reuters] Uncertainty is causing real damage to U.S. consumers and producers. President Donald Trump’s trade policies are hurting the U.S. economy. The president thinks “tariffs are a great negotiating tool,” and that may be true. However, uncertainty over potential tariffs can be a nightmare for American businesses engaged in international trade. For instance, Trump’s recent plan to raise tariffs on Mexican imports would have hammered an automobile industry that has integrated Mexican production since the passage of NAFTA in 1994.

Washington’s defense budget is greater than the combined defense budgets of China, Saudi ... more »
On Philosophical Tyrants
It will be hard to find a man capable of greater brutality than a philosopher who is devoted to creating a perfect society based on his own philosophical theories. A country where philosophers rule directly, or indirectly by joining hands with the politicians, is always a miserable place. For the philosophers, everything, including human life, is an abstraction. They are prone to ignoring reality and rationalizing about the problems that the country is facing. They will keep philosophizing while the country’s economy and standard of living goes down the drain. A normal politician ma... more »
