Grover Norquist is right about the need for lower taxes for the rich, more high-tech immigration, and less entitlement spending.

Burning Man is where the educated and well connected go to petition for lower taxes and less regulation, with… Continue reading The Poverty Plan

We’re still in an insufferably slow news cycle, with the biggest stories of the past year being Russia invading Crimea, which occurred six months ago, and America narrowly avoiding default on its debt back on October 2013. Ukraine and Isis, while important, are ongoing and aren’t the kind of breaking news that holds the country… Continue reading The News Cycle and Why Social Networking Threatens the Liberal Media

It’s time for a humble brag to remind myself and maybe the one or two people who read this blog how good I am at predicting stuff.

All this media fuss over ISIS, Iraq, and Ukraine has absolutely no impact on S&P 500 profits & earnings which is why Wall St. is ignoring it. Just noise that investors should tune-out. Google and Facebook don’t care. Whatever happens in… Continue reading Another Record High For Stocks

In the smartist era and in the meritocracy, we need more testing , not less, to help help identify gifted and slow students. Whether it’s an IQ test or a proxy such as the… Continue reading Why We Need More Testing

I have a 6th sense. Out of a list of hundreds of articles, I can tell you, with great accuracy, which ones will go viral. It comes from years of experience blogging and posting on websites. Many people have no clue what other people want to read. The quadrantsphere (education, race, economics and IQ) has… Continue reading The Daily View: Abortion Debate, Economic Recovery, Political Dysfunction, American Exceptionalism

Surprised the HBD blogosphere has not picked up on this Richard Dawkins’ Abortion Comment Sparks ‘Feeding Frenzy’ On Social Media Liberals are attacking Richard Dawkins for merely stating what many already already know to be true: people with Down’s Syndrome (or any profound disability) are a drain on society, and perhaps the most moral and… Continue reading The Abortion Plan
