    Trump is in Butler again today? Awesome! I'll do my shopping in Youngstown instead! It's cheaper there anyway! Thanks for the heads up!

    Mises Wire Llewellyn H. Rockwell Jr. 10/05/2024 The Old Right was a principled band of intellectuals and activists, many of them libertarians, who fought the “industrial regimentation” of the New Deal, and were the first to note that, in America, statism and corporatism are inseparable. Despite some current claims, however, these writers ardently defended capitalism, including big business and corporations, celebrated the profit motive, and took a strict laissez-faire attitude towards international trade. They loathed tariffs, and saw protectionism as a species of socialist planning. Frank Chodorov was a central intellectual figure on the Right from the 1920s to the 1950s, editing the early Freeman magazine and founding Human Events and the Intercollegiate Studies Institute. A prolific writer, Chodorov guided two generations of students and activists to the literature of liberty, and urged no compromise with the central state.

    Ron Paul Institute by Adam Dick Oct 3, 2024 It was wonderful news to many people last week when word came that Julian Assange would speak publicly this week. For a long time it seemed that such a day would never come as Assange suffered in harsh conditions in a British prison under the threat of extradition to the United Sates where he would likely remain captive in similar harsh conditions until death. The good news came in June that Assange had struck a deal to return as a free man to his home country of Australia. Yet, Assange did not come out in public to speak after returning to Australia. He focused on recovering the best he could from the torment imposed on him for exposing the US government’s dirty secrets, including related to wars. In his introductory remarks as his Tuesday testimony at a Committee on Legal Affairs and Human Rights meeting of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE) in Strasbourg, France, Assange addressed his recent maltreatment and his ongoing effort to recover from it, stating:

    By David Stockman October 5, 2024 JD Vance is no slouch as a debater. We’d think even Tim Walz would grant that much after getting shellacked last night by the Donald’s running mate. We will also grant that both men were civil, even midwestern “nice”. But that just goes to prove that most of the blame for the nastiness that pervades the current political process in America, and which has thereby buried the real issues, lies with the Donald. He’s just an incorrigibly bombastic, ill-mannered lout who substitutes name-calling, slogan-checking and bragging for anything that even remotely sounds like a policy discussion. Of course, when it comes to silencing the real issues you can add to the mix the fact that the mainstream media faithfully shunts aside anything outside the UniParty’s “Overton Window” of permissible discussion.

    Ron Paul Institute by Adam Dick Oct 2, 2024 Donald Trump likes to talk about how he puts America first. Last night, Trump’s presidential race running mate J.D. Vance made it clear that Vance has other priorities. In answer to the first question of the vice-presidential debate, Vance asserted that his allegiance is to Israel first. Indeed, he suggested that America does not even come in second. Here is how Vance responded to debate moderator Margaret Brennan’s question of if Vance would “support or oppose a preemptive strike by Israel on Iran”:

    Agree. I'm just hoping that it doesn't involve another full-blown war. Because at that point, many innocents die, 'Merika stands together and unites, as we suffer more prolonged ramifications rather than a fresh start. I know it's not politically correct but I see Trump doing another historical repeat just like Bush W the "peace candidate". He's too wrapped up and knee-deep in Israel and Water-Front Property. Which will line his/elites pockets while emptying mine.

    Trump's agendas have been nationalistic, not individualistic, and he will do whatever he believes is good for the Empire, not you or me. He is among the elite who was responsible for the largest debt increase of any president in history, as well as the largest transfer of wealth from the low/middle class to the upper. Now that the plandemic is over, which resulted in untested jabs and immunity for the pharm complex, and bans on travel which put the MIC on "temporary hold" to allow for "global compliance", the MIC is once again open for business. Perhaps reread the thread to look for the out in the open hidden clues and one can easily speculate where this is heading. On top of that, people don't just give over $100 Million just to be generous. Not counting the neck tie. Too much thought is put into "but it's against Kamala!" and that is where the flaw is. Look at Bush W the "peace candidate" and see where that got us. Because back then, people completely ignored all of the the signals and voted for him anyway.

    Mises Wire Carus Michaelangelo 10/04/2024 Tags: Big Government, Bureaucracy and Regulation, U.S. History, War and Foreign Policy Donald Trump’s ascendancy in the Republican Party fissured the GOP. Increasingly alienated, the GOP’s neoconservative wing flocks more and more to the Democrats. To anyone who grew up accustomed to viewing Democrats as the peace party, a Democrat presidential candidate celebrating the endorsement of Dick Cheney is mind-bending. But while some in the GOP increasingly reject nation-building and democracy-promotion as pillars of foreign policy, others have sought to bridge the gap between foreign policy restraint and interventionism. Matthew Kroenig and Dan Negrea’s book, We Win, They Lose: Republican Foreign Policy and the New Cold War, represents one such attempt.

    Aside from Netanyahu hailing Trump as "a friend of Israel" and Miriam's generous $100 Million "contribution" to Trump: Jared Kushner, Trump’s son-in-law, praises ‘very valuable’ potential of Gaza’s ‘waterfront property’ I remember when Bush W sounded like Ron Paul concerning "peace around the world", until bam.

    Mises Wire Thomas J. DiLorenzo 10/03/2024 Labor unions are exempted from federal antitrust laws including the Sherman Antitrust Act, which outlaws “conspiracies in restraint of trade.” This is not a bad thing: Everyone should be exempted from antitrust laws. They are an assault on property rights and because their rulings are so arbitrary they are incompatible with justice and fairness. They are also a tool of rent-seeking businesses who practice “lawfare” by routinely suing their superior competitors for dropping their prices, improving their products, and serving their customers better than they do. When they can’t (or won’t) compete in the marketplace they resort to antitrust lawsuits to harass their competitors instead of better serving their customers. They have been a drag on the American economy for more than130 years. A strike by a labor union is nothing if not a restraint of trade. The media are all in a huff today about the dockworkers’ strike that has shut down all of the ports on the east coast from Maine to Texas. Billions of dollars of foreign imports of just about everything are sitting there, restraining trade! And when supply is reduced the effect is to make prices higher than they would otherwise be. It is essentially the same effect of a giant price-fixing conspiracy by American merchants. There is no such price-fixing conspiracy, but we will be observing the effects of one in some industries! The economic effects of the dockworkers’ strike are essentially the same as some of the effects of protectionist tariffs. The purpose of all protectionism is to restrain trade that comes from other countries, which is exactly what the dockworkers’ strike is doing. The purpose of the strike is to acquire higher wages (and to eliminate automation) and not protectionism, but it will have the effects of protectionism while it lasts.

Careful there, A/F, you are borderline sounding like those commie folks who are pushing insects and synthetic meat as a matter of norms, civility and standards. If I am hungry enough and I see a cat-on-a-stick dripping with bbq sauce, damned right I'm gonna eat the thing ;-)

    Nobody cares about the debt anymore. Nobody cares about ridding TSA and other 3 letter agencies either. The talk nowadays is that National Academies are not a concern or an issue, as long as the "other side" doesn't do it first. What, now we shouldn't talk about what we are allowed/not allowed to eat in our own homes? Pick our battles wisely? What can/should we be able to talk about??? The weather, as provided by the 1st Amendment? :tears:

    No, he will not be a positive. We have been trying to eliminate 3 letter and other agencies and seemed to pick up steam. Until Trump. Since Trump entered the scene, he deregulated but at the same time "protected" the multi-national corporations , and since RFK Jr. got into the mix, republicans now believe that instead of eliminating agencies, said agencies should be reorganized and replaced with other heads. Meaning, Trump took us back 15 years from where we started. Which is why I said "it is way more dangerous supporting Trump because Trump is Pied Piping Republicans into being such wonderful left-wing democrats, and it's working."

    I don't believe that it is a scam. A few days ago some dude around 30 years old knocked on my door with a flyer and pad. He said that he was from California and they flew him out to PA for the next several weeks. The first thing that he said to me was that it was "absolutely critical that Trump be elected" otherwise prepare for "insurmountable and unsustainable increase in debt!". Well, needless to say, that was my opening :up::tears: So I invited the guy into my house and offered him a coffee, and then I pulled out my "On the Record" and educated him line, by line, by line, by line, including Trump's "Bait and Switch" United Nations Agenda 2030 Agenda47. He was keen on TheNewAmerican, UNTIL I showed him some Mises.org and RonPaulInstitute articles. I never saw eyes bulge out like that before but it was definitely worth it.
