We don’t like to always pick on California (OK, we actually do!), but the latest jobs data by state illustrate just what has gone wrong in the Golden State, and much of the rest of blue state America. They have become overly reliant on government for growth.

Snow Woke and the Seven Dwarfs
We’re economists not movie critics, but one of the subversive themes of the movie is that “who’s the fairest of them all” doesn’t apply to the beauty of the queen, but rather about economic fairness. The queen is evil because she doesn’t share her wealth. It’s an ode to socialism. And the movie remake is a flop – as it should be.
Trump Is Right About Our Trading Partners Imposing Excessive Tariffs
We aren’t fans of the trade war, but blaming Trump (as the media and the Left are doing) ignores one key point: He’s right that other countries impose outrageous tariffs on American exports.
Hold the Tariffs, Please
Trump delivered a “hell, yes” speech last night, but it’s time to be attentive to a spooked stock market, inflation that’s still too high, and GDP growth that’s sputtering. Trump should push the pro/growth tax cut message, and steer away from the tariff/protectionism riff.
Musk Dares to Ask Federal Workers: What Have You Done for Us Lately?
The federal government has been compared to a run-away train driven by a sleeping engineer that’s heading for a blown-out trestle bridge over a deep canyon. Elon to the rescue!
JD Vance Takes Down the Globalists
This week, JD Vance told the CEOs and heads of state at the summit on Artificial Intelligence that proposed regulations on it “could kill a transformative industry.” He heroically defended America’s tech prowess against the marauders in Europe and China.
Is Boston the Next Big Blue City to Try to Heal Itself?
Beantown may be the next city where voters stage a coup against progressive ruin – joining the ranks of deep blue cities like San Francisco, Seattle and others that voted in moderate, pro-business Democrats. This week, Josh Kraft, whose father owns the New England Patriots, announced he will challenge Boston Mayor Michelle Wu this November.
DC Workers Make 33% More Than the Next Richest State
And for what? Washington, D.C. produces almost nothing. There are no farms, no factories. The swamp does produce lawyers, lobbyists, regulations, rules, politicians, special interest groups, journalists, and bureaucrats. Washington is a city where people come to do good and end up doing well.
The Idiocy of the Climate Change Brigades
Nothing emits more greenhouse gases into the atmosphere and puts carcinogens into the air we breathe than forest fires. And nothing has done more to destroy trees – which absorb carbon out of the atmosphere – than forest fires. The federal government spends tens of millions of dollars on tree planting programs.
Climate Change Didn’t Cause the LA Fire Catastrophe
You can always count on leftists to blame every natural disaster on climate change. Forest fires were much worse in the 1930s than today and that was long before we had 300 million cars and trucks and homes had gas stoves.
Joe Biden Is the Homelessness President
One of Biden’s most shameful legacies is the flooding of our once-great cities with homeless people.
Europe Tries to Destroy Apple and Biden Says Go Ahead
Apple is one of the most successful and profitable companies in world history – so naturally politicians want to destroy it. The European Union’s Digital Markets Act is a bureaucratic overreach that is targeting Apple under the guise of “interoperability” – whatever that means.
Normal Americans Never Spoke Woke
The reasons that voters elected Donald Trump included concerns about inflation and immigration. But some liberal centrists – such as New York Rep. Tom Suozzi and Massachusetts Rep. Seth Moulton – have also said voters were tired of causes promoted by social-justice warriors.
The Health Care Industrial Complex Hates RFK Jr
We don’t share many of RFK Jr’s views and he does have a penchant for exaggeration, but we do like that he has a lot of the right enemies. In particular, the gang of misinformers who lied about Covid are gaining up on him. In contrast, RFK Jr. has been proven right to oppose lockdowns and vaccine mandates.
The Climate Change Agenda Is Collapsing
Well, that didn’t take long. Just one week after the Trump victory, our friend Marc Morano of Climate Depot reports that Argentina is pulling out of this week’s big climate conference.
Green Energy Has Decimated Europe
The good news: Trump will dismantle this green energy madness here in the USA. Drill baby drill!
Voters Are Finally Ousting Politicians for Crazy Covid Lockdowns
Since the end of Covid, here is the list of incumbent governments that have been swept out of office by voters.United Kingdom, Italy, Argentina, New Zealand, Australia, Finland, Austria, the Netherlands, Poland, Belgium, and – of course – the United States.
Ode to Joy
Well, we will hand it to Kamala Harris. She promised she would bring back joy to America – and she’s done it.
