Most people accept the moral prohibitions on lying, murdering, and stealing in their personal lives as well as in their business affairs. Why, then, does government – which is run by people – get a pass? Is ethics irrelevant in government affairs?
The answer is yes, because there is no one to hold the government accountable. By its nature as a state, it is above accountability. As Rothbard elaborately explained, the state is a criminal gang writ large, an organization not subject to its laws because of its monopoly of violence. Jefferson’s notion of binding men down by the chains of the Constitution was easily broken by government intrigue.
Blame for the absence of government morals is sometimes laid on a loss of religious faith among citizens and the ones they elect. But a Pew Research Religious Landscape Study (RLS), conducted in 2007, 2014, and 2023-24, revealed an overwhelming majority of Christians and non-Christians alike regard theft, murder, and lying as violations of honest living. They may have lost their faith in a higher power, but their professed morals were unshaken. Continue reading
President Donald J. Trump did something this week that no other modern American president has been able to do when it comes to foreign entanglements: he proved you can keep your promises and keep America safe — all while telling the world’s worst actors exactly where they can stick their aggression.
Attention has been riveted on what AI can do for the three years since the unveiling of ChatGPT, but very little attention has been paid to what the human user is bringing to the exchange.
Americans don’t want socialists running their cities or inexperienced, foul-mouthed thugs like AOC and Crockett dictating how to run their lives. The Democratic Party is short on class and money, but more importantly, short on solutions!
It might sound like something straight out of science fiction, but AI experts warn that machines might not stay submissive to humanity for long.
A new study has revealed that ChatGPT will provide detailed instructions to teenagers on dangerous activities, including getting drunk, concealing eating disorders, and even writing suicide letters to parents when asked. The research was conducted by the Center for Countering Digital Hate, which had researchers pose as vulnerable teens to test the AI chatbot’s responses.
Once upon a time, many moons ago, I was asked to teach a course to new analysts on Wall Street. The large amount of material to cover and the limited amount of time allotted during their 30-day training period were absurd. But what was even more absurd was that there was no cell phone ban.
Let’s not mince words: every American should be alarmed by President Trump’s “Liberation Day” tactics, theatrics and threats.
McLaughlin Poll: 77% Oppose Amnesty; 56%: Deport Every Illegal
The increasing encroachment of government regulations, pontificating politicians, and the enforcement of Social Justice schemes have led to a loss of understanding of the terms private property and property rights. It was once understood that the unauthorized entering of private property was a violation to the utmost. The property owner was justified and supported in taking necessary actions to remove the trespasser and secure that land.
In 2022, six-month-old Brody was severely burned after a rice cooker fell on him.
While I do have a bit of a concern over Trump’s recent action in D,C., by and large, I have to admit that it is the correct move under these particular current set of circumstances and given the nature of the communists who have been looting and driving the area into the ground for decades.
Men are men, and there is nothing toxic about masculinity. Since the early 1980s, there has been an underground movement to feminize American men as a result of the women’s liberation movement. Somehow, in the twisted minds of certain elements of American society, to liberate women required diminishing the stature of men. This wrongheaded approach has been particularly embraced by the Democrat Party, when we saw men in dresses and high heels as part of the recently deposed Biden administration. Men in dresses, high heels, and women’s sports has done nothing to enhance women’s liberation. In fact, these girly-men denigrated women’s stature and women’s sports.
