“We are losing ground economically. We are losing credibility abroad. We are losing tourists, workers, stability, trust, constitutional guardrails, and whatever remained of the illusion that the government answers to ‘we the people.’ The tourism economy is taking a hit, with international visitors increasingly reluctant to come to the United States. Even migration—the lifeblood of America’s economic growth, innovation, labor force and national renewal—is now moving in the wrong direction. Fewer people are coming in, more Americans are leaving, and by some estimates the country has already crossed into negative net migration. That is not the mark of a nation ‘winning.’ It is the mark of a nation people are increasingly choosing to escape.” (06/03/26)

“There’s a lot of hostility toward ‘the rich.’ Especially billionaires. The hostility is misplaced. The real divide is not ‘the rich’ versus ‘everyone else.’ It is those who seek to rule, versus everyone they seek to rule.” (06/03/26)

“The bottom income quintile is not a static social class but a temporary snapshot of lives in motion. Most Americans do not remain poor for life, and removing policy barriers can help more people move up.” (06/04/26)

“The PEACE Act, a proposed ballot measure that essentially bans fishing, hunting, ranching, and trapping, appears to have gathered enough valid signatures to qualify for the ballot in Oregon this November. If it passes and is not reversed in court, look for other states to follow suit and for food prices and insecurity to grow, all for no net reduction in animal cruelty.” (06/04/26)

“Ultimately, the new Section 301 tariffs appear to be yet another attempt to give the president a blank check to impose tariffs at will. The same is true of the administration’s plans to use Section 301 to target ‘structural excess capacity,’ which rely on the absurd premise that it is somehow an unfair trade practice for countries to be able to produce more goods than they can use themselves.” (06/04/26)

“To be a RINO is a frequent accusation in today’s atmosphere, generally by those GOP types who claim to be ‘true conservatives.’ Or ‘real conservatives.’ Or ‘classical conservatives.’ Or even Trumpistas and MAGA types.” (06/03/26)

“Winds of change are blowing across California — and should bring hope to all Americans now suffering under arrogant Democratic-machine misrule. It looks like both Steve Hilton and Spencer Pratt will be on the ballot this fall, for California governor and Los Angeles mayor — a huge sign of voter rebellion in a deep-blue state. No, the results aren’t final, because Cali authorities now take weeks to count the last ballots — itself a sign of institutionalized incompetence, as even Third World nations manage to get the task done in a day. Each man will be an underdog in November — but the machine candidates are such total mediocre-at-best hacks, and fury at machine-run government’s failures all across the Golden State is at such a high pitch, that the rebels’ odds are looking better than they have in years.” (06/03/26)

“I have been recuperating from some health issues and have not been writing much, but I really don’t want to miss out on putting my oar in the water prior to the SpaceX IPO. As background, I love to watch what SpaceX is doing in launch and believe they have made a huge contribution to the world in doing so. As a former operator of hundreds of wilderness campgrounds, Starlink was the greatest single new technology for our business in 20 years. But you don’t automatically get your way with stock valuations just because what you do is cool and useful — there has to be some prospect of making back the investment.” (06/03/26)
