Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Gives Economics Studies A Bad Name

sunbeam November 21, 2018 Comments Off

While there have been members of Congress who were not blessed with great intelligence, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez from NYC, who will take office in January, takes the cake.

She has a bachelor’s degree in economics from Boston University. After four years, (and nearly $300,000 list price), the school promises that BU economics majors will depart “with a firm understanding of core microeconomic and macroeconomic theory” and the “empirical skills that are essential to applying economic reasoning in our increasingly data-driven world.”

Given the above how does one explain the absolute economic illiteracy of this media darling who would make Sarah Palin look like a genius? The Economics Department of BU must cringe every time she shows up on TV. She is certainly not a glowing ad for the merits of their degree program.

Take a listen.

Success in the midterm elections secured power for House Democrats. This returned them to majority party status in the House for the 1^sttime since 2010. How will the Democrats use that power? Representative David Cicilline, co-chair of the Democratic Policy and Communications Committee, in a combative interview revealed much of the party’s agenda.

The Camp Fire in California is being touted as the worst wildfire in the state’s history. The town of Paradise has effectively been wiped off the map by the fire. Approx. 90% of the structures in the town have been reduced to ashes. The devastation is difficult to describe. The video below is not for the faint of heart.

Why Do Democrats Oppose Voter ID Laws?

sunbeam November 16, 2018 Comments Off

Democrats are adamant that we do not need Voter ID laws. Former President Obama claimed that the potential for voter fraud was so low that it was a waste of money and resources to bother with it. To back up his claim he referred to the low number of criminal prosecutions in this area.

He and other Democrats have gone on to claim that such laws are really an attempt by the GOP to suppress minority voter turnout. Is this the case? Do Voter ID laws suppress minority voter turnout? What are the actual facts? ...

Mid-Term Election Results, Part 3

The Democrats won control over the House of Representatives. What does this mean going forward?

An intellectually honest review of the possibilities must encompass what the Democrats have done in the recent past. The last time the Dems regained power in the House was in 2006 during Bush 43’s second term.

In doing this review one must keep in mind the Democrats’ 1^stcommandment as noted by Dee Chadwell:

Back in 2006 the American public had not yet been primed for a Marxist-type social order. It was important to appear centrist while at the same time encouraging some political violence “against capitalism.” Nancy Pelosi said of the Occupy Wall Street violent anarchists, “God bless these people.” ...

The mid-terms are over more or less. What are the effects of these mid-term elections?

Down in Florida, because of the close races for Senator and Governor, the sketchy activities of a certain Supervisor of Elections have had a long-overdue sunbeam shined on them. Of course, this is not the first time that Broward County has been in the spotlight.

Mid-Term Election Results, Part 1

sunbeam November 12, 2018 Comments Off

The mid-term elections are mostly over. There are still a few House races to be determined and a couple of Senate seats as well. Apparently, as I write this, the Democrats are trying to steal a Senate election in Florida and Arizona. The corruption of the voting process in South Florida is incredible. How all that will play out is unknown at this point.

So what was the result? Was the outcome “ a historic win” as PDJT said or did a “blue wave” occur as the Democrats claim?

Freedom Of The Press

sunbeam November 9, 2018 Comments Off

Do the Democrats believe in freedom of the press? On Wednesday night video emerged of the Antifa group Smash Racism DC demonstrating outside the house of FOX News’ Tucker Carlson. In since deleted footage, a mob of Antifa thugs pounded on the door of Tucker Carlson’s house, cracking it. A woman was overheard in one of the deleted videos saying she wanted to “bring a pipe bomb” to his house. They then chanted and spray-painted the anarchy symbol on the driveway.

Transgender Mania Rebuffed

sunbeam November 8, 2018 Comments Off

Recently the Trump administration has proposed, for Title IX purposes, to define that gender is determined by a person’s genitalia at birth. Of course, that is the way that sex had been determined for eons. HHS indicated that government agencies needed an explicit and uniform definition of gender. Gender would be determined “on a biological basis that is clear, grounded in science, objective and administrable.” Any dispute about one’s sex would be clarified using genetic testing. ...
