A CFPB Sob Story: I smell a rat
Another heart-wrenching story of the callous Trump/Musk axis: Pastor Eva Steege planned to meet with officials from the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau on February 10 hoping to get $15,000 of student debt forgiven. She was under the nation’s Public Service Loan Forgiveness program that is designed to give loan relief to people who participate in public service. In Steege’s Read more

Oh, puh-lease. Gimme a friggin’ break!
The Big BooHoo about student loan forgiveness continues.* Dedicated ≠ former public school teacher. Twenty years of undergraduate teaching tells me that Ms Flocken ain’t coming clean on her misspent youth and education, especially after blowing through $160,000 on what could be obtained for $16,500 from the Western Governors University online program. I’ve seen plenty Read more

Fakes, all the way down
The problem has been that it’s not turtles. It’s a century-old program of propaganda and deception by Big Government and Big Biz: Fakes, all the way down. Read more

Big Meat is past its PRIME
Kentucky Congressman Thomas Massie is kicking over the rock hiding the shameful practices of the USDA and Big Meat. Corporations and government cronies are gumming up the meat supply, not butchers or supermarkets. Read more

Don’t Bunch Up!
Randal O’Toole, the Anti-Planner, points out the wrongheadedness of ever-increasing urban density, Now, we are getting another lesson. Due to a novel virus, we are told to “socially distance” ourselves. But no one is telling us to drive our cars instead of riding transit.

Jeez, it’s like it’s all a giant scam or something

San Antonio City Council steps on a rake…
…and is surprised when it hits them in the face. And the ass. Our lefty, virtue-signaling city council has decided to pick a fight on Chik-fil-A, one of America’s most successful fast-food companies. This doesn’t look like too smart a move, even for nanny-staters. Clearly this is viewpoint discrimination by a government entity, and puts Read more

Hey, Hey, Hey! My school made the top 20!
UTSA does it again! My school was recently reported as being #19 of 20 in sugar babies. And the term sugar baby indicates a young adult willing to become a compensated protege of an older patron in exchange for unspecified (but easily imagined) personal services. Somehow I suspect this new ranking for UTSA will not Read more

Amazon gets pushed back
Writing in The New Geography, Joel Kotkin gets close to one of the threats of commercial cyberfascism: Amazon’s grab at oligarchic power by siting a new headquarters. New York’s brush-off to Amazon was the right move, even if for a variety of wrong reasons. Like constructing sports stadiums with taxpayer money, the exploitation of the Read more

Hot Girl Privilege
Thales at The Declination tells it like it is: When a hot girl says something stupid, people pay attention to her anyway. This has the effect of separating the hot chick from reality even more. She might think her stupid poems are beautiful art, because thirsty men will say anything to an attractive woman. Hot Girl Read more
