You needn’t read Michael Walsh’s piece, especially if you are inclined to think that rational arguments in favor of border-wall funding are shopworn or obtuse.

I bring it up only to mention that we seem headed for another government shutdown over wall funding. As a Trump supporter, I view the prospect with optimism: If our last shutdown was a dry run, the next one should be positively illuminating. Even “Wacky Nut Job @AnnCoulter” might approve.

“Capitalism is an ideology of capital – the most important thing is the concentration of capital and to seek and maximize profit…so to me capitalism is irredeemable.”

(I found the quotation at ZeroHedge, but it is widely reported elsewhere.)

“The Trump administration is considering a rule that would require doctors and hospitals to disclose the rates they negotiate with insurance companies, a step toward establishing something that is sorely wanting in the U.S. health-care market: prices.”

This should prove interesting. Best line in the reporting: “Democrats, meanwhile, argue it’s evidence of the Trump administration weaponizing law enforcement to target its political rivals.”

I find it hard to believe that launching an investigation amounts to “weaponizing law enforcement.” If that’s true, then secret surveillance of the Trump campaign must have been weaponizing law enforcement, too. But I jest.

Let’s see what Huber has to say about Uranium One and Hillary Clinton.

Shenanigans like HR 1 are the main reason I’m inclined to support a total ban on all immigration. I get it that immigrants contribute materially to our economy and make our culture more interesting. But HR 1 shows how immigration pollutes our politics in ways that undermine our institutions. This is the exact opposite of the job an open political system is supposed to perform.

It is too easy to think of China’s social credit system as foreign, even exotic. If you are paying attention, the West has been building elaborate social credit systems of its own in recent decades.

Little by little the truth that the Russia Collusion narrative is a lie is becoming indisputable. In this contribution to the light, Andrew McCarthy explains how it is that Paul Manafort faces no charges for being a Russian agent.

Inclusion — or, “enfranchisement” — is not an inherent good for democracy. The quality of voters matters so much that participation must be limited to competent adults.
