    Mises Wire Vincent Cook 09/20/2024 With Democrat presidential candidate Kamala Harris proposing costly new interventionist schemes and co-opting Republican talking points in order to neutralize the unpopularity of rising prices among swing voters, her Republican opponent, Donald Trump, has responded by stealing a page from the Democrat state-building playbook. He has raised the bidding for votes with a preposterous new interventionist proposal of his own—a plan to boost fertility rates by turning in vitro fertilization (IVF) treatments into a free service, to be paid for by a combination of government subsidies and mandates on health insurers. Traditionally, advocacy of IVF subsidies has been a staple of the same groups on the “progressive” side of the culture wars that have championed government-subsidized abortions on demand, like the Center for Reproductive Rights. According to data from the American Society for Reproductive Medicine, representing over 95 percent of IVF clinics in America, 390,000 IVF cycles were performed in 2022, which led to 91,771 births. The current cost of IVF and related procedures ranges from $15,000 to $30,000 per IVF cycle, making total current expenditures on the order of $8 billion per year. Murray Rothbard’s theoretical analysis of the economics of “free” services and the incidence of government-imposed extortion implies that the costs of providing IVF treatments for “free” could be far, far higher. There are estimates that only a quarter of those who desire IVF treatments can actually afford them at current prices, so artificially reducing the price paid by patients to zero might mean at least a four-fold increase in the number of IVF cycles administered. It might even mean more if clinics (which would also have no incentive to control costs) encourage a greater number of cycles per patient to increase the chances of achieving a successful pregnancy.

    There are way to circumvent at least some of that. My goal is to prevent every single back road and forest from utilizing spy-apparatus cameras and Domestic TSA checkpoints just to get a loaf of bread across the PA line. The contractors who rake in tax payer dollars are working on securing more deals with the government as we speak.

    Typically when I go abroad I am never bothered. I have overstayed a few times but it was never an issue, until I got back to the states. Yes, I am pro open borders, even though what we actually have are closed borders which is what is causing the problems. Maybe start with the article and then read my comments and then you'll understand my position better: http://www.ronpaulforums.com/showthread.php?568073-Right-Wing-Obtuseness-on-Immigration

    Oh calm down, both of you. She's not a buffoon for saying that, of course shooting an intruder to protect your home is a right and a duty, regardless of politics. She's a buffoon for immediately walking the statement back and giving us a taste of another four years of Biden redux. "No, I'm not gonna say that". "I shouldn't have said that".

    Do you think they killed and then un-killed the other whites? They killed them all and then spared them? They pretended to spare some so that one day a wikipedia page could be written which would cast doubt on their massacre?

    Okay, good for her then, hope she wants everyone to have that right, and be able to do so, with whatever tool they may require. But I guess that's a few bridges too far. Thanks for clarifying!

    Penal Code 198.5 PC, California law follows the Castle Doctrine. This is the legal principle that you have no duty to retreat if you confront an intruder at your own home. You are permitted to use force against intruders who break into your home or try to force their way in.

    Don't you know, everything comes down to a letter of the alphabet? It's the same way when Trump signs Fix NICS into law, and says "Stop & Frisk" and "National Academy", he gets an automatic pass because it's an "R".

    As long as no harm to person or property occurs, what if somebody wants to live completely off the grid? Do they still have to obtain the proper government paperwork, provide ID held in a database, pay taxes to the federal government and provide proof of that, in order to do so? Who gets to decide who is permitted to live off of the grid? Politicians/bureaucrats? I remember a time when the republican platform consisted of "Unless I committed a crime against person/property, mind your own business and f&ck off".

    CNN Drops Bombshell Hit on North Carolina Republican Governor Candidate Mark Robinson https://www.breitbart.com/2024-election/2024/09/19/cnn-drops-bombshell-hit-on-nc-gop-governor-candidate-mark-robinson/ Nick Gilbertson 19 Sep 2024 A bombshell CNN report published Thursday identifies Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson (R-NC) as the person behind an account on an online pornographic message board that posted both racist and sexually explicit messages more than a decade ago, including a post about peeping on showering women as a teen. CNN’s Andrew Kaczynski and Em Steck reported on their revelations in a story Thursday afternoon, which became widely anticipated earlier in the day amid reports that it was in the works. Robinson, the Republican nominee for governor in the Tar Heel State, denies all allegations.

    I disagree. If we are talking about "immigrants" in the true sense of the word, lacking the corrupt welfare state or not, there is a world of difference between allowing in a 140 IQ chemical engineer from Japan or Switzerland and a 68 IQ mud eater from Haiti.

    Also, I read an article a few years ago, don't remember who it was, some ex soldier... but he pointed out that one of the fundamental beliefs of Islam is that Allah lives in the rocks they have in the Kabba. He further pointed out that all it would take is one precision guided bomb or other large explosion to effectively end Islam altogether. We've seen what Israel is capable of doing over the last week. It has to have occurred to them that this is possible and they have to have considered how they'd do it, and we just got proof that it would work. And they haven't. That may be because of the backlash they'd get from the entire Muslim world, I don't know. All I'm saying is it should be eminently possible, and it hasn't happened.

    My opinions: 1) I don't understand why I need to care what's going on in Ukraine... I understand how we got to the point where I need to care, but my overarching goal, and I suspect the goal of most Americans, is for us to get back to a point where we don't have to care. This isn't a geopolitical issue if we don't participate. Therefore it's a national issue. And that national issue can be solved by finding the people who have put us into a position of needing to care about it, and excising them. I mean taking everything from them and destroying them publicly and watching them have to eat out of dumpsters for the remainder of their days would be nice, but at this point I'd accept paying them to fuck off into the sunset. 2) I don't understand why I need to care what's going on in Israel - as an American. Of course I care what goes on there, but I care as a Christian who knows there have been Christians living there for 2000 years, and who knows that Christians have actually owned the place on multiple occasions, and who knows that no discussion of "geopolitics" is ever going to include them. That's why I don't choose sides in the conflict: both sides are against my side. Unfortunately I can't take the same position as I do on Ukraine... because one of those sides has infected the data stream with propaganda and also convinced everyone that if anyone ever says out loud "hey I think we should stop and think about what's going on without always resorting to screaming down counter points" then everyone needs to go full tribal and scream "ANTISEMITISM". It naturally makes me want to take the other side, but I'm more familiar with the history the other side has with the Church over the last 1400 years and if I could choose one ideology to stamp out and remove from the Earth, it actually wouldn't be Communism, it'd be Islam. Also, as a national issue, the entrenchment of the pro-Israel elements in our government is complete and as far as I can tell, totally irreversible, so it's not like I can dream about that happening like I can with Ukraine. 3) Regarding holy sites... yeah, nobody cares about them, least of all the Zionists. Even mainline non-Zionist protestants who visit the Holy Land don't even know about the Basilica of the Nativity in Bethlehem. Roman Catholics might care if it got destroyed but they can't do anything about it, because they're having an existential crisis right now. They all thought they were safe and things were going to turn around under Benedict but have gotten a massive slap in the face wake up call from Francis. Maybe after all the boomers are dead they'll be able to start turning that ship around and get it to the point where they'd be able to do something about desecration of the holy sites but now ain't that time.

    No. According to Swordy, those people are not actually people, therefore not God's children, so no favoritism is involved.

    Well, I think he also eluded to something like, as long as one is a Christian, and also white, but only if they were born here. Meaning, everybody else is scum and doesn't have natural rights, I think.
