Stories like this one are one reason I support construction of a border wall. Broadly speaking, there are many issues to consider within the topic of immigration, but none of them matters unless and until our borders can be sealed where they need to be.

Cut taxes? Check. Cut Medicare and SS? Work in progress. And if that doesn’t fly, borrow a few trillion more.

Then bloat the military/industrial complex, arguably the biggest welfare and jobs support program we have. Looking for another war? Venezuela has bee mentioned. Iran? Why not? Iraq was so easy and successful.

We are always fighting the last wars. The Russians, and others I’m sure, have cleverly divided us like a mistress does to a troubled marriage. Cyber attacks work without firing a single rocket. And for a lot less money…by far.

Meanwhile the Chinese are forging trade alliances and infrastructure investments all around the world. And we are tossing up tariffs and walls. Doing our level best to piss off even our best allies in both defense and trade.

Think of what a fraction of the cost those subs spent on infrastructure, manufacturing and education in Central America might do to curtail the flow of desperate refugees fleeing for their lives.

Eisenhower was right. And we are wrong.

“Economics is all about the allocation of scarce resources. There are no gains without costs. Is one really prepared to let the world perish rather than allow the smallest injustice?”

If the intelligence agencies were indeed used for political advantage in the 2016 campaign that is a much bigger deal than Watergate.

As with many things Epstein, it is fascinating to discover the systemic and mechanical explanations behind a complex topic. Here it turns out that whatever else they may be good for, the 10 Commandments are also good for understanding sucessful market economies.

Last time I talked to Gates he seemed like a pretty OK guy, but it’s been a while.

Good question. I don’t know the answer, but I hope the American people get around to taking it seriously.

After two years and the conclusion of the DoJ’s Special Counsel investigation, it would be nice to just close the books on this sorry affair. But to maintain the health of our Republic there is no option but to follow through as Nunes intends.

“When one applies the free market idea to normal people, it works. When one applies it to narcissistic sociopaths, it doesn’t. My question is this – Is the best solution to remove free markets for everyone? Or, is the best solution to remove narcissistic sociopaths from positions of power and influence within free markets?”

I concur with the author of this think piece: Many critics of free markets don’t understand them.

“This means Attorney General Barr must redact grand-jury material from the Mueller report before disclosing it to Congress. Democrats will complain long and loud about this, but I don’t see how Barr can be reasonably faulted for following the law. Congress, after all, has the power to legislate an amendment to Rule 6(e) that would permit disclosure of grand-jury materials from a special counsel investigation to appropriate congressional committees.”
