Who Cares About The Coffee Guy? Who Ever Cared About The Coffee Guy?
Howard Schultz is a billionaire who hates Trump and who thinks-- or formerly thought-- that those two conditions entitle him to be president. His campaign was a stinker from day one-- although he managed to make a whole bunch of greedy political operatives much richer in the process. In breaking the big news that he's not running as an independent, the *Washington Post* noted yesterday that he told his small cadre of supporters that "he found it tougher than he expected to capture the attention of moderate voters and that he didn’t want to risk reelecting President Trump...

The Trouble With Objectivism
I don’t agree with much of what David Bentley Hart says in his article, “The Trouble With Ayn Rand,” but what he says about objectivism in the following paragraph is essentially correct: "And, really, what can one say about Objectivism? It isn’t so much a philosophy as what someone who has never actually encountered philosophy imagines a philosophy might look like: good hard axiomatic absolutes, a bluff attitude of intellectual superiority, lots of simple atomic premises supposedly immune to doubt, immense and inflexible conclusions, and plenty of assertions about what is “rational”... more »

Socialism by guest blogger, Michael Smith
"Socialism is like a Ponzi scheme, it only works for the ones at the top and only then if they an keep everyone in the game. The major difference is that where Ponzi schemes depend on greed, socialist regimes depend on coercive force. Socialists always promise Norway (which is a capitalist country with a massive welfare state funded by oil an gas - not socialist at all) but socialism is not scalable - it doesn't have a volume knob that goes from one to ten, Socialism is binary, it only has an on/off switch. When socialists shoot for Norway, they always wind up with Venezuela."
