Yes To Calexit—And To Any Voluntary Exit From Lincoln’s Union

Federalism, Political Philosophy, States' Rights

Tucker Carlson interviewed a Calexit leader about California seceding from the Union.

Tucker: “Why would The Union let California go without a WAR?”

Heavens! Let California, or any state, secede. Political divorce!

A natural right is not nullified by force. From the fact that the Yankees won in 1865; it doesn’t follow that the right to peacefully secede evaporated. Might doesn’t make right.

Why Must The Huddled Masses Endure Stumblebum Sarah? We’re Tired! Give Us Stephen Miller.

Donald Trump, Government, IMMIGRATION, Intelligence, Media

Stephen Miller, usually confined to the White House basement (where Ivanka and Jared belong), gave a rousing, terribly smart speech on the kind of immigration reform that inches closer to what patriots have been demanding for years. (Alas, he promised a reduction, not a moratorium.) The brilliant retorts in response to Fake News whining just kept coming from Miller.

Why must the Huddled Masses endure Sarah Stumblebum, when we could have the philosophically savvy Miller, who is capable of conveying Trumpism, not merely apologizing for it. We’re tired! Give us Stephen Miller.

Right after Miller’s stellar performance, Stumblebum Sarah dissolved into a puddle over an alleged inquiry the administration is accused of launching, concerning discrimination against white men on campuses. The other day she “chocked” over the president’s transgenders-in-the military policy impetus.


Nice exercise in logic.

If Republicans Don’t Do Immigration ‘Bigly,’ A 3rd Party Revolution Is Next

Donald Trump, Elections, IMMIGRATION, Republicans

Fox News commentators have joined CNN’s in declaring there is “little appetite among Republican legislators to take up the issue of immigration.” Yes, the way Stephen Miller was carrying on at the presser podium today you’d think President Trump ran for and won the presidency based on his immigration plank. (Wait a sec; he did!)

Republicans are foolish enough to reject Trump’s immigration impetus (unveiled August 2, 2017). If they do, there will be a 3rd party revolution with men like Miller and Brannon in the lead.

Milton Friedman Understood Rhodesia In 1976

VIA AFRICA UNAUTHORIZED:

“Of the 49 countries in Africa, fifteen are under direct military rule and 29 have one-party civilian governments. Only five have multiparty political systems. I have just returned from visiting two of these five—the Republic of South Africa and Rhodesia (the other three, for Africa buffs, are Botswana, Gambia and Mauritius). If this way of putting it produces a double take, that is its purpose. The actual situation in both South Africa and Rhodesia is very different from and very much more complex than the black-white stereotypes presented by both our government and the press. And the situation in Rhodesia is very different from that in South Africa.

Neither country is an ideal democracy—just as we are not. Both have serious racial problems— just as we have. Both can be justly criticized for not moving faster to eliminate discrimination— just as we can. But both provide a larger measure of freedom and affluence for all their residents—black and white—than most other countries of Africa.

Both would be great prizes for the Soviets—and our official policy appears well designed to assure that the Soviets succeed in following up their victory in Angola through the use of Cuban troops by similar take-overs in Rhodesia and South Africa.

The United Nations recently renewed and strengthened its sanctions against Rhodesia. The U.S. regrettably concurred. We have, however, had enough sense to continue buying chrome from Rhodesia under the Byrd amendment, rather than, as we did for a time, in effect forcing Rhodesia to sell its chrome to Russia (also technically a party to the sanctions) which promptly sold us chrome at double the price.

Rhodesia was opened up to the rest of the world less than a century ago by British pioneers. Since then, Rhodesia has developed rapidly, primarily through its mineral production—gold, copper, chrome and such—and through highly productive agriculture.

In the past two decades alone, the “African” (i.e., black) population has more than doubled, to 6 million, while the “European” population (i.e., white) has less than doubled, from about 180,000 to less than 300,000. As Rhodesia has developed, more and more Africans have been drawn from their traditional barter economy into the modern market sector. For example, from 1958 to 1975, the total earnings of African employees quadrupled, while those of European employees a little more than tripled. Even so, perhaps more than half of all Africans are still living in the traditional subsistence sector. …”
