Conventions everywhere are being challenged: The first amendment. Democracy. Civil rights. An this dissent transcends political lines, as both the ‘left’ and the ‘right’ (and the many variants in between) realize that these conventions are either ineffective, incomplete, or, worse, are part of the problem. The ‘status quo’ presupposes all 20-30 somethings are only interested… Continue reading The ‘Zen’ of NRx
Make America Something Again
Trump’s riveting closing campaign ad: ‘Make America Great’, a slogan that rolls off the tip of the tongue and has become a refrain in popular culture, almost as memorable as Nike’s ‘just do it’. But what does it mean? And how does one Make America Great? A common theme of political ads and campaigns such… Continue reading Make America Something Again

Election Outcomes and Market Response
The Trump surge continues…his odds as of 11/3/2016 are 35% on 538, a gain of 20% in little over a week.

No, a Trump victory will not doom the US economy and stock market
A recession is the confluence of many factors that converge at roughly the same time. Trump being inaugurated will not suddenly cause producers to stop producing, consumers to stop consuming, and manufactures to stop manufacturing. Similarly, Britain leaving the EU in June of 2016 didn’t cause economic activity to suddenly stall, contrary to the predictions… Continue reading No, a Trump victory will not doom the US economy and stock market
Trump as Nixon
Although NRx rejects the democratic political process, it’s still pretty funny watching the hildlabeast crash and burn into the finish line.

But the latest round of test data strongly suggests the difference… Continue reading The Gender Gap in Extreme Math Intelligence

November 8th cannot come soon enough as the Hillary campaign watches its lead, once as high as 12 points, evaporate to just two: And this was before the Friday email story, so it’s possible Trump may be ahead by a few points by now. Nine days is an eternity in an election this close and… Continue reading Hillary’s 12 point lead shrinks down to just ONE POINT
Clinton crashing and burning as vote nears
Last week I warned that the left was prematurely declaring victory for Hillary, and now the tables have turned as Trump gains in polls and email news surfaces. I bet Hillary wishes the election were last week…at the rate her campaign is imploding, she may not make it. The wheels are coming of the bus… Continue reading Clinton crashing and burning as vote nears
