Beltway establishment goes full Panem on Trumps

The establishment left is using The Hunger Games as a manual for government. The Ivanka Trump scandal seems less about ethics than about keeping beltway politics safe for political dynasties.

The Last Defense against Donald Trump?

When you’ve dismantled every other defense, what’s left except the whining? The fact is, Democrats can easily defend against Trump over-using the power of the presidency. They don’t want to, because they want that power intact when they get someone in.

There is no sanctuary without walls

Sanctuary isn’t sanctuary if you let everyone in. If we don’t have borders, we cannot provide sanctuary. The left’s definition of sanctuary means denying sanctuary for people who need refuge. Letting in both the people escaping violence and the people causing violence is to deny refuge to refugees. There is no sanctuary without walls to protect it.

By appointing Republicans who have promised to reduce government into the very areas they’ve promised to depower, is Trump calling the establishment’s bluff?

Consumption vs. Income vs. Sales

I would love to be convinced that consumption taxes are a better idea than income taxes. But I just don’t see how politicians wouldn’t find it easier to muck up a consumption tax worse than they’ve mucked up income taxes. Is convincing Americans to switch from an income tax to a sales tax an effective use of resources?
