Socialist Security
Posted by M. C. on March 4, 2023
You just simply cannot have it both ways. You cannot, logically, state, in the same breath that the electorate is too short-sighted to save for their retirement and yet, should indeed be allowed within 100 miles of a voting booth.
https://open.substack.com/pub/walterblock/p/socialist-security?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android
Social Security is the third rail of US politics. President Biden has recently made great hay out of Representative Scott daring to even hint that this sacred program could be altered in any way, manner shape or form. Nor have the Republicans dared to challenge our one and only president on this matter. Instead, they have contented themselves with utter and total denial that they had any plans in the offing along these lines. Social Security changes are not on the table, they aver. They have no plans of altering even a jot or tittle of this holy program.
Well, there is no compunction on this score, at least not from the present quarter. This socialist nostrum should never have been started in the first place, and it should now be torn down, root and branch, and salt sown where once it stood.
Why?
There are two main reasons. First, it conflicts with an even more important third rail in our political system: democracy. Social Security states, in effect, that the American public is either too stupid, or too short-sighted, to save not only for a rainy day, which may or may not ever occur, but for their old ages, which will indeed take place, God willing.
But if they are so flighty, so unreliable, so un-mench-like, as to not be able to save, on their own, how, ever, in the name of all that is holy, can we trust them to the ballot box vote? On the other hand, we do endow the general public with this sacred privilege. Even obviously low information voters are allowed to pull the lever in the voting booth. In so doing, we are undermining our other basic premise: that the brains of the public are deader than the proverbial doorknob when it comes to saving for eventualities.

EPA Head Admits Kids Should Be Nowhere Near East Palestine Water | ZeroHedge
Posted by M. C. on March 4, 2023
The Union Pacific and Washington’s priority is to get the trains rolling again. People can wait.
https://www.zerohedge.com/political/epa-head-admits-kids-should-be-nowhere-near-east-palestine-water
BY TYLER DURDEN
The aftermath of the freight train derailment in East Palestine, Ohio, persists, with residents and rail workers reporting illnesses and the Biden administration facing criticism regarding an inadequate federal response. The 38-car derailment occurred one month ago and resulted in the release of vinyl chloride into the air via a controlled burn, and questions swirl about why testing for dioxins wasn’t conducted immediately after the derailment.
Earlier this week, EPA Administrator Michael Regan visited East Palestine. He addressed reporters about the ongoing situation. Journalist Nick Sorter asked the commissioner:
“Mr. Commissioner, let me ask you really quick, would you allow your children to touch the water? We’ve seen the rainbow sheen, we’ve seen all of these chemicals popping up from the bottom of the streams that these kids used to play in. Would you allow your kids anywhere close to these streams right now?”
Regan’s response:
“I would not. I’m a father of a 9-year-old. I think we have to all agree we wish this accident didn’t occur, but the accident occurred and as a result some of our creeks and streams have pollution in them.”
Here’s the video:

Dailywire Article-Hershey Kisses Off Real Women With Nutty Trans Pandering, Says Ben Shapiro
Posted by M. C. on March 4, 2023
ANOTHER fine Pennsylvanian commodity in the news. Good bye Hershey.
It will be easier saving money (not to mention losing weight) in this time of inflation.
By Daily Wire
Hershey’s appears to be trying to prove men are better women than women with its bizarre new ad campaign, according to The Daily Wire’s Ben Shapiro.
The best-selling author and host of “The Ben Shapiro Show” said the Pennsylvania chocolate company’s use of a transgender woman to promote Women’s History Month is the latest case of woke idiocy defeating its own purpose. The ad campaign for the “SHE” bar features Fae Johnstone as one of the “women” who “shine a light on the women and girls who inspire us every day.”
“They decided to also release a commercial that featured one of the best women in the world, one of the best women in the world, a dude,” Shapiro observed on his podcast Thursday.
If the ad campaign was designed to generate a buzz, it was a success. The hashtag “BoycottHersheys” was trending on Twitter Thursday after the rollout, in which Johnstone declares, “We can create a world where everyone is able to live in public space as their honest and authentic selves.”
Shapiro had a more sardonic prediction of how the SHE bar will benefit the fairer sex.
“It will help single, lonely 40-year-old women relieve their depression by eating as much chocolate as possible, presumably,” he quipped.

Republicans, Foreign Policy, and Federalism – LewRockwell
Posted by M. C. on March 4, 2023
Congressional Republicans are horrible on such key issues as foreign policy and federalism. They share equal blame with the Democrats for the destruction of the Republic.
https://www.lewrockwell.com/2023/03/laurence-m-vance/republicans-foreign-policy-and-federalism/
Although the Republicans regained control of the U.S. House of Representatives in the November midterm election, they were the opposition party for the first two years of Joe Biden’s presidency. But just what did the Republicans oppose?
I have every so often for the past fifteen years referred to a tool I use to judge Republicans in Congress. I am referring to “The Freedom Index: A Congressional Scorecard Based on the U.S. Constitution.”
The Freedom Index “rates congressmen based on their adherence to constitutional principles of limited government, fiscal responsibility, national sovereignty, and a traditional foreign policy of avoiding foreign entanglements.” It is published by The New American magazine, where I am a contributing columnist.
The new edition of the Freedom Index is the last for the 117th Congress, and looks at ten key measures. Scores are derived by dividing a congressman’s constitutional votes by the total number of votes cast and multiplying by 100. So, the higher the score the better.
This edition tracks congressional votes in the Senate on semiconductor incentives, foreign aid, declaration of war, expanding NATO, targeting parents as domestic terrorists, the Inflation Reduction Act, hydrofluorocarbons reduction, terminating Covid-19 national emergency, marriage, and the omnibus 2023 spending bill.
It tracks votes in the House on the U.S. military in Syria, abortion access, expanding NATO, semiconductor incentives, assault weapons ban, the Inflation Reduction Act, electoral count procedures, federal police grants, marriage, and the omnibus 2023 spending bill.
The average Republican Senate score was a pathetic 60 percent. The average Republican House score was 71 percent. A brief look at some of the things Republicans voted on shows us that the Republicans did not oppose much of anything when it comes to an interventionist U.S. foreign policy and an assault on federalism.
During the consideration of a veterans healthcare bill, Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) offered an amendment to prohibit the distribution of foreign-aid funds, other than to Israel, for 10 years. Only 7 Republicans voted in favor of it.

UK Considered Mandating Killing Of All Pet Cats To Stop COVID | ZeroHedge
Posted by M. C. on March 4, 2023
Killing pet cats was just one of numerous horrors almost visited on the British public in pursuit of a lockdown that went on to have a devastating impact and caused more harm than good.
As we previously highlighted, another proposal was to separate children from their parents and hold them in quarantine camps if they were infected with the virus.
These are the government people YOU rolled over for.
https://www.zerohedge.com/political/uk-considered-mandating-killing-all-pet-cats-stop-covid
Authored by Paul Joseph Watson via Summit News,
UK health authorities considered ordering the euthanization of all pet cats in the country during the first COVID outbreak, it has been revealed.
Ex-Deputy Health Minister Lord James Bethell made the admission while trying to argue that governments were caught unawares in how to respond to the virus, remarking, “We shouldn’t forget… how little we understood about this disease.”
“There was a moment we were very unclear about whether domestic pets could transmit the disease,” he said.
“In fact, there was an idea at one moment that we might have to ask the public to exterminate all the cats in Britain. Can you imagine what would have happened if we had wanted to do that?”
Bethell claimed that “for a moment” there was “a bit of evidence around” the idea after a Siamese cat became the first in Britain to contract COVID-19, but that the plan was “closed down” fairly quickly.
Cat owners were told not to kiss their pets and to observe “observe very careful hygiene” around them while keeping them indoors if a member of the household caught COVID.

US Ambassador To China: “We’re The Leader” Of The Indo-Pacific
Posted by M. C. on March 3, 2023
And you thought the US government couldn’t get any dumber. This is what happens when the military and big money arms manufacturers run the show.
I wonder if we said the same thing to SA’s King Fahd?
A recent US Chamber of Commerce InSTEP program hosted three empire managers to talk about Washington’s top three enemies, with the US ambassador to China Nicholas Burns discussing the PRC, the odious Victoria Nuland discussing Russia, and the US ambassador to Israel Tom Nides talking about Iran.
Toward the end of the hour-long discussion, Burns made the very interesting comment that Beijing must accept that the United States is “the leader” in the region and isn’t going anywhere.
“From my perspective sitting here in China looking out at the Indo-Pacific, our American position is stronger than it was five or ten years ago,” Burns said, citing the strength of US alliances, its private sector and its research institutions and big tech companies.
“And I do think that the Chinese now understand that the United States is staying in this region — we’re the leader in this region in many ways,” Burns added emphatically.
The “Indo-Pacific” is a term which has gained a lot of traction in geopolitical discourse in recent years, typically describing the vast multi-continental region between Australia to the south, Asia to the north, Africa to the west, and the middle of the Pacific Ocean to the east. It contains half the Earth’s population, and it very much includes China.
After making the rather audacious claim of being “the leader” of a region which China is a part of but the United States is not, Burns went on to claim the US does not want any kind of confrontation with the Chinese government.
