The Canary in the Interest Rate Mineshaft

If a canary could be lowered into the Biden Oval Office when the radical left-wingers were plotting their next round of capitalism-destroying policies, it would keel over dead in a second due to their noxious properties.

Elon Musk's "Itty-Bitty" $15 Billion Tax Payment

"Have you lost your ever-loving
mind, Senator Warren???"

Tesla founder Elon Musk is scheduled to pay $11 billion in California state and federal taxes by April 15. 

That figure, $11 billion, would almost be equal to tax collections from all sources in South Carolina or Louisiana. 

Musk’s tax payment would pay for every state-related expense from teacher salaries to road construction to the state Medicaid match in each state. His single payment is about 40% of all state taxes collected from millions of North Carolinians last year.

Vote Anti-Federalist

"Men: One day people are gonna get
elected who have no intelligence, education 
or business experience to rely on so we
better watch out what we are doing!"

Just like the Anti-Federalists who defeated Terry McAuliffe in Virginia when he said he didn’t want parents to have any say in their child’s education, Anti-Federalists across North Carolina and the nation must turn out in droves this fall to vote against anyone who campaigns on a platform of more spending, more regulation, more restrictions on free speech and more penalties on producers of economic growth. 

Joe Biden thinks he is a Federalist like FDR or LBJ. He is ruling more like Mad King George III. 

We all are Anti-Federalists this year. We have to be.

Who's Afraid of Free Speech?

"Can We Make It Mandatory That
Our Opposition Always Speaks So
Everyone Can See How Stupid
Their Ideas Are?"

The only people who are afraid of free speech are those who cannot support their views with facts and reason. 

I have never seen anyone in public life who was confident in their ability to understand the issue at hand and use facts, reason and a winsome manner to persuade others try to shut the other side up and not allow them to speak their minds.

The Grinch who saved Christmas and maybe the American Democratic Republic

"Man. These Progressive Socialist Democrats
Only Know How To Add, Not Subtract!"

It is hard to say that one politician’s vote changed the course of history. 

Usually, people point to one elected person’s ability to lead the country through a crisis as the reason why the course of history was changed. Lincoln during the American Civil War and Winston Churchill during the entirety of World War II are legitimate examples of when true leaders “saved” the American republic or Western civilization as we know it. 

But Sen. Joe Manchin of West Virginia sure deserves at least an honorable mention in the Profiles in Courage Hall of Fame...

You don't have to give everything to give enough

Give enough if you can't
give everything

This Christmas, remember you don’t have to give your children, family and friends “everything” to give them what they need most and really want anyway: your love, affection and attention.

When Jesus told the rich young man to “go sell everything, give the money to the poor and come follow Me,” He set a pretty high standard for everyone, didn’t He? In that sense, even the over-commercialization and materialization of Christmas by Americans since at least the 1960s can be seen in the most generous light possible as “out-doing one another with love and affection,” although there is far more to the Christian Gospel than the number of video games a parent can give their children.

The Political Misery Index for Democrats in 2022

"Hold on. It is time to leave"

No scientist or biologist can prove it in the lab — yet — but elephants in tropical areas have been seen fleeing the low country near beaches before a tsunami caused by an earthquake thousands of miles away hits shore. The conjecture is that animals have a “sixth sense” that can detect impending danger. 

Veteran elected politicians on both sides have a “sixth sense” when it comes to their political future. They can just “feel” when the political tectonic plates are shifting against them and their party. They don’t want to be on the beach when the 100-foot wave hits and swallows up everything in sight.

Tear Down These Berlin Walls In Public Education and Social Security!

President Ronald Reagan famously inserted his signature “Mr. Gorbachev: Tear Down This Wall!” line in his Berlin Wall speech in June of 1987 over the objections of his bureaucratic State Department advisors. 

There are two government programs that are “Berlin Walls” to prosperity and liberation of the American spirit today — public education at the state level and Social Security at the national level.

Cut Spending First

"Man. I sure hope America
doesn't spend itself into oblivion
after I am gone!"

Milton Friedman frequently said, “Cut government spending. As much as possible.”

Friedman was a brilliant economist who believed in maximum freedom for individuals. He wrote “Free to Choose,” which is mandatory reading for anyone who believes that excessive government spending results in the confiscation of people’s personal money and freedom, causes unnecessary debt, leads to exorbitant inflation and creates bureaucratic ineptitude, which leads to negligible results that are unable to solve the problem at hand.

The Gettysburg Gospel, Thanksgiving and the Rebirth of Freedom in America

"But above all else, let's not mess up
this second chance to get America right"

Thanksgiving should be celebrated more as a memorial covenant to the “born again” America that Lincoln talked about at Gettysburg than solely being remembered for Squanto’s kindness towards the Puritans. 

We have this trinity of “holy” civic documents underlying our collective life together in America: the Declaration of Independence, the US Constitution and the Gettysburg Address.

The majority party of Lincoln/Grant Republicans and RFK Democrats

"I wonder if Democrats will always hate
communism, crime and destroying capitalism?"

I was talking with a prominent older African-American Democrat the other day and told him I thought I might be a “Lincoln/Grant Republican and a RFK Democrat” based on what they believed back in the day.

He thought for a moment and said, “You know, I just might be one of them too!”

Gary from China

'You can make it if you try...
and you want to work hard and study
and you have got a great, great mother!'

​Progressives want America to buy into their cartoonish vision about rich people.

They want voters to believe that only white people can get rich in America; rich white people have always been rich, and rich white people had ancestors who made their fortunes by owning slaves. They think America is a caste system like India where no one can ever move up or down the socio-economic scale.

They need to meet Gary from China.

Will Dave Chappelle and Enes Kanter Be On The Second Mount Rushmore?

Future historians may look back 200 years from now and target October 2021 as the time when comedian Dave Chappelle and pro basketball player Enes Kanter saved American free speech, freedom of thought and freedom of expression from extinction.

After years of political correctness, cancel culture and downright suppression of conservative free speech, Chappelle, a well-known comedian with a history of controversy; and Kanter, a Turkish-born Boston Celtics basketball player who has taken on the presidents of Turkey and China and now Nike, slammed massive flaming spears in the ground for free speech when almost every academic, business and political leader couldn’t, wouldn’t, hasn’t or didn’t.

The Four Worst Four-Letter Words

There were a lot of four-letter words used in our household growing up. Dad used them regularly to get a person’s undivided attention in the shortest amount of time — and it worked.

However, there were four four-letter words that were not allowed in the Hill household: “Don’t,” “Won’t” and “Can’t” were three of them.

The absolute worst of all was “Quit.” That four-letter word was never tolerated so, therefore, was never used.
