The backstop is real?
The backstop is required to prevent a hard border in Northern Ireland, or so we're told by the BBC and its fellow Remoaners. Isn't this somewhat disingenuous? I thought that the Irish Republic and the UK have both stated they have no intention of erecting a hard border and also that the WTO have stated there is no need to erect a hard border. So why is this line being pushed by the BBC and co?

*"Separating the trading entities into national aggregates allows a variety of fallacious conclusions to be drawn by artful intriguers. Historically such intriguers formed practically an entire 'school' of economic policy now known as mercantilism. In his classic work 'The Wealth of Nations' (1776), Adam Smith exposed many of the errors and misconceptions of this school and argued forcefully for freedom of trade as the policy consistent with maximisation of people’s wealth as a whole rather than augmentation of the intriguers’ wealth at the expense of the general public.

15th Century Fishing Fashion: Thigh-High Leather Boots?
A new sewage treatment project in London discovered something in the mud of the Thames; the remains of a human, leg bones still covered by thigh-high leather boots. When you say thigh-high leather boots it sounds much sexier than fishing waders, which are not made of leather any more because, let's face it, leather is useless in water and science improved fishing a lot. Archaeologists analyzing the remains say the grooves in his teeth were likely caused by rope, and that, plus his build, suggests his trade was fisherman.

America’s socialists
I keep reading that 51-57% of Democrats favor socialism--more in the younger range, but enough in the 50+ to cause concern. Strange that they call Trump a Nazi. Our school system has failed them, even people my age and older who should know better, who remember Hitler, Mao and the USSR. Socialism means the state controls the land and the means of production. The only difference between Hitler and Stalin was the length of their reach--one wanted just Europe and the other the world. Their hearts beat together. American Communists in the 1930s weren't worried about Hitler until he a... more »

"Even The Biggest Failure..."
"The early bird catches the worm; a stitch in time saves nine. He who hesitates is lost. We can't pretend we haven't been told. We've all heard the proverbs, heard the philosophers, heard our grandparents warning us about wasted time, heard the damn poets urging us to ‘seize the day'.

The future is female, but what is a female?
Kristin Gillibrand (D- NY) has said something really foolish—the future is female. The Left doesn’t want the word “female” or “woman” written or spoken because the masculine terms male and man diminish womyn’s power. The Left is systematically destroying the hard won gains of Title IX in sports by insisting a transwoman is actually a real woman, and who knows what they’ll call him when they’ve succeeded in destroying the language! The Left says gender is a social construct and that sex is bad science. The Left reports that with enough hormones, pancake makeup, electrolysis and a ... more »

Trump tried it Tuesday with his China trade-war bullshit (above)-- but all he created was the 4th biggest stock market collapse in U.S. history, down 799 points.

Women, marriage, motherhood, and feminism - an inescapable conundrum?
Aaron Clarey, writing at Captain Capitalism, has a quirky, iconoclastic view of life, the universe and everything. His books bear that out. He's opinionated, unafraid to challenge established views, and firmly opposed to much modern political correctness and social justice perspectives. He can come across as abrasive and rude at times, too . . . so much so that he's named his business "***hole Consulting", which tells you a lot, right there! He describes himself on his Amazon.com author page as follows: Aaron Clarey is the world's only motorcycle riding, ballroom dancing, fossi... more »
