Life in America is better than life has been anywhere, ever.

“My Socialist Mayor”
Bettors say there’s an 80% chance that socialist Zohran Mamdani will be the next mayor. “We have to continue to elect more socialists, and we have to ensure we are unapologetic about our socialism,” says Mamdani. But he should be apologetic! Socialism wrecks lives.
Labor Unions Kill Jobs
Progressives love unions. Not only do unions protect workers, they say, unions gave us the weekend and the middle class. I say, capitalism created the middle class.
The Secret Sauce That Made America
When the Founders signed the Declaration of Independence, they put forth a radical idea: Rights don’t come from kings or presidents. They come from being human. Government’s job is to protect those rights. This idea, a limited government that protects individual rights, turned out to be America’s secret sauce.
Living Hell?
“Climate change will make earth a living hell!” claims popular astrophysicist Neil DeGrasse Tyson. I don’t believe him. The media say, “All Arctic ice will soon melt away! Polar bears are dying off! Global warming causes food shortages!” Bunk. They are addicted to scaring us.
Climate Myths
I guess the UN Secretary-General didn’t think his hyping global warming risks brought him enough attention, so now he says, “The era of global boiling has arrived!” Give me a break. Yes, the climate is warming. We can deal with that. What annoys me is politicians, activists and media pushing hysterical myths.
DEI Is Dying
The problem is that DEI programs were captured by activists who obsess about victimhood. They divide people more than they empower.
The Death of Europe
Europe is kind of like a big museum. Tourist money keeps it going, but there’s so little growth that, per person, America’s poorest state (Mississippi) is now richer than most European countries. The reason is the very same policies ignorant Americans want to copy — higher taxes on the rich.
Every American Owes $100,000
America is now almost $35 trillion in debt. That means every American owes $100,000. The Biden administration doesn’t care. They want to spend more.
Have You Heard About Bee-Pocalypse?
Honeybees are dying! It’s nonsense.
Censorship Is a Global Pandemic
It’s good that so far, American police say their campus arrests are for trespassing or property damage, not words. I don’t agree with what most of the demonstrators say. But I’ll defend their right to say it.
Biden’s Renewable Energy Scam
Requiring all new homes to have solar panels is a big reason California has the most expensive housing in America. The average house costs almost $800,000. If you can afford that, you get government money for generating solar power. But the handout goes mostly to the rich. Poorer people are more likely to rent.
Skewed News
Reporters overwhelmingly lean Democrat. A survey by The American Journalist found that for every Republican in a newsroom, there are 10 Democrats. The reporters claim to be objective. They aren’t.
A Libertarian President!
Argentina actually elected a libertarian president. Javier Milei campaigned with a chainsaw, promising to cut the size of government.
Shut It Down
Useless Cabinet departments, for example, like Housing and Urban Development, Labor and Agriculture. Agriculture employs almost 100,000 people. Why? Independent farmers grow our food. They don’t need a giant department. Let’s get rid of the Department of Education, too. Why does it even exist?
Masks, Lockdowns and Closing Schools Won’t Stop Covid
We have to live with it.
College Is Now an Overpriced Scam
Our government basically vomits money at everyone who applies. If private lenders gave out the loans, they’d look at whether they were likely to be paid back. Government’s handouts also invite colleges to keep raising tuition. “Why not raise tuition?” asks the typical college president. “Uncle Sam pays the bill!”
The Fake Climate Consensus
We are told climate change is a crisis, and that there is an “overwhelming scientific consensus.” “It’s a manufactured consensus,” says climate scientist Judith Curry in my new video.
The Southern Poverty Law Center Smears Good People, Not Just Haters
Today the SPLC even smears groups like Moms for Liberty and Moms for America, calling them anti-government extremists because they oppose sexually explicit content in schools. Give me a break. The center puts Moms for America on its “hate map,” but not Antifa, the hate group that beats up people on the right.
College Racism
Affirmative action is racist, and therefore wrong.
The UN Pushes “Sustainable” Goals That Promise Everything to Everyone
But a Bank of America report estimates that fighting climate change alone would cost trillions. Even that might not affect the climate very much.
Medicare and Social Security Are Ticking Time Bombs
The only solution is cutting benefits, raising the age when benefits start (sensible, since we live longer) or, Mitchell’s preference, privatizing retirement plans, like Australia and Chile did. America’s politicians won’t do any of those things.
President DeSantis?
I like some things DeSantis says and does. I also worry that he’s an authoritarian. In any case, he’s definitely smarter and better than both Trump and Biden.
President Ramaswamy?
Entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy is obviously a long shot presidential candidate, but he’s refreshing. Unlike most politicians, he speaks clearly and seems smart. He probably is smart.
