Memo from corporate headquarters to staff:“Notice – the beatings will continue until employee morale improves.”That corporate joke would also fit the perverse ethic of the Republican Party's latest assault on homeless Americans. Believe it or not, the Party's new homeless policy – officially embraced by the Trump regime and already enacted by 16 right-wing state governments – is to blame homelessness on (guess who?) the homeless! Yes, hundreds of thousands of individuals and families living on the streets in our Land of Plenty are being ordered to go inside – even though they have no “inside.”But pious GOP politicos are not merely chiding the poor. They're using Big Government's authoritarian might to criminalize, arrest, incarcerate, and forcibly medicate some of the hardest-hit people in our country. It's a raw, disgraceful example of the aristocratic arrogance of today's billionaire brat class. Such as Silicon Valley Trumpster, Joe Lonsdale. He's been on a sadistic crusade to ban homeless indigents from making alleys, underpasses, and other vacant spots into their “home.” A multi-billionaire profiteer of the Palantir espionage conglomerate, Lonsdale lives in splendor in his mansions, but he doesn't want to be “bothered” by the poor who might be perturbed by the inequality he perpetuates. Indeed, Jon recently demanded that angry poor people who might pose a threat to upright, uptight royals like him should be subjected to public hangings.In a democratic society, government's role is not to protect the privileged from the people, but to protect the people from the oppression and ever-grasping greed of royal wannabes like Lonsdale.

California is looking to impose a new wealth tax to fleece the state's billionaires. While supporters of the tax claim it will raise more than $100 billion, if passed, it likely will crash in the same manner that wealth taxes in other countries like Sweden and Colombia have done.Original article: https://mises.org/mises-wire/wealth-tax-revival-repeating-failed-experiment

In Part Two of his "How to Win 2026" series, Newt makes the case against today's Democratic Party — in their own words. This is the most substantive episode in the series — a methodical, documented case that today's Democratic Party has drifted far from the tradition of Roosevelt and Kennedy into something most Americans simply don't recognize. Using real names, real quotes, real dates, and actual congressional roll calls, Newt builds the argument across eight acts: Democrats calling to abolish ICE and defund the police; open hostility to Israel; a DSA national co-chair calling for abolishing the U.S. Senate on Fox News; candidates who denigrate America on tape; a coalition that rejects free enterprise while a government-run grocery store in Kansas City already proved the model fails; and a brand-new congressional report naming sitting Democrats in what prosecutors call the largest pandemic fraud scheme in American history.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Have conservatives abandoned limited government to build their own administrative state? In this episode of The P.A.S. Report Podcast, Professor Nick Giordano challenges Matt Walsh's argument that every conservative wants to expand federal power. Professor Giordano exposes the federal power trap and shows why control of Washington's machinery doesn't defeat the progressive state. It merely preserves that machinery for the next administration. Discover why real conservative power requires Congress to dismantle unnecessary agencies, defund the bureaucracy, repeal open-ended statutory authority, and restore Tenth Amendment federalism. What You'll Learn In This Episode: The Power Distinction: Why political power that reduces government control differs from federal power that advances a partisan agenda. The Constitutional Stress Test: How a national abortion ban, federal education curricula, Big Tech speech boards, and corporate retaliation test limited-government principles. The Bureaucracy Trap: Why conservative agency heads change little when statutory authority, surveillance power, and federal appropriations remain intact. The Power-Reversal Test: The essential question every conservative must ask before support for new federal authority: Would you trust Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Gavin Newsom, or Elizabeth Warren with this power? The Blueprint for Restoration: What Congress must do to reclaim Article I power, repeal open-ended statutory authority, reduce the federal bureaucracy, and return power to the states and the people.   Episode Chapters 00:00 Do Conservatives Still Believe in Limited Government? 02:28 Dismantling vs. Controlling the Administrative State 09:24 The Three-Part Test for Federal Government Power 13:09 Why Conservatives Must Dismantle, Not Manage, Big Government 19:48 Federalism, Local Control, and the Tenth Amendment 25:43 FISA Surveillance and the Threat to Civil Liberties 27:57 A Conservative Agenda for Constitutional Restoration ⭐ Support the Show: If you value principled constitutional analysis, follow The P.A.S.

“If you find that you've dug yourself into a hole, the very first thing to do is quit digging.”That old country saying has a newly-urgent relevance to us today, for Big Tech, Big Finance, and Big Government are colluding to dig us into the unfathomable hole of artificial intelligence. All across the country, entire communities are in an uproar as they learn that thousands of massive, billionaire-financed data centers are quietly being approved by their government officials, usurping farmland, local water supplies, and each area's electric grid. Why? So über-rich prigs like Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos can impose their grandiose, zillion-dollar schemes to displace us human workers with super-intelligent bots.What's not to like about that?But wait… there are other major problems, including the sickening drone of gigantic cooling systems in each data center, running non-stop year-round, destroying community tranquility and people's sanity; the sudden rise of global warming emissions caused by data center use of fossil fuels; the creation of easy targets for drone attacks on these sprawling interconnected computer networks; and the wholesale diversion of America's research funding and talent to the private projects of billionaires.Far worse, though, is that AI is the key for Musk, Bezos, and whoever to impose a feudal, fascist, technocratic, rule over the rest of us – all in the name of progress.Maybe we should question this “future” before surrendering to it! To help guide us, New York Times columnist Tressie McMillan Cottom recommends such useful books as “The Nerd Reich,” “Technofeudalism,” and “End Times Fascism” – plus Pope Leo's encyclical letter on AI. Follow Tressie's series on battling Big Tech at JimHightower.com/TMC.Do something!Here are some organizations and coalitions that are fighting this technofascist/feudalist future:* AI Now: An independent research institute providing expert analysis on AI in the public interest* Athena Coalition: Originally focused on fighting Amazon, this huge coalition is taking on AI invasions and data center exploitationJim Hightower's Lowdown is a reader-supported publication.

In This Episode Erin and Weer'd discuss: more Independence Day anti-gun propaganda, this time from March For Our Lives; the Turkish President's gift of revolvers to European NATO leaders, and why that's a problem for most of them; James Talarico of Texas claims to be pro-Second Amendment,  but that's not what he said in 2020! why every state needs to be wary of gun control efforts, because what happened to Virginia could happen to them; California doubling down on restrictions in the wake of SCOTUS attacking the bans on "assault weapons". Xander was in a place where a one-way shooting range suddenly  became two-way; Tiny tells us the do's and don'ts of drone operation; and Paul explains why the Home Distiller's Association is suing the US Government for the right to bottle distilled spirits.

The FDA is hiding the truth about this increasingly common method of abortion. They are keeping back 125,000 pages of documents related to the process. Why? Because they don't want the truth to be known. They do not want transparency. That ends now. Medicine shouldn't be political and this has become political. Planned Parenthood lies about the trauma associated with the Abortion Pill - Medical Abortion, leaving women to undergo this traumatic procedure alone, isolated, completely unaware of the devastation and horror that awaits them. The FDA has time and time again relaxed the rules around the abortion pill - what the science. How much damage has been done? We don't know because the FDA is censoring the truth.You can help bring the truth to light by signing our petition (linked below.)

Mark Thornton delays part three of his series on American government in favor of something lighter for the 250th: the story of kudzu, the vine that ate the South. Japanese gardeners brought it to America in 1876 as an ornamental plant. Private interest stayed limited. Then FDR's Soil Conservation Service paid farmers to blanket millions of acres with it—to fix erosion and dust bowl conditions that earlier government policies had helped create. Kudzu grew a foot a day, swallowed trees, houses, and power lines, and became an environmental menace in the Southeast. Government herbicides couldn't kill it. What's actually working is a market solution nobody planned: entrepreneurs who lease goat herds to graze kudzu patches, draining the rootstock over a few years while producing goat meat for the working class.Side B features a Tasty Live interview in which Mark explains all three Austrian business cycle indicators firing simultaneously—the stock bubble, price inflation, and the K-shaped economy—and traces the historical pattern connecting tariffs, strategic stockpiling, and industrial policy to the wars that follow.2026 is the Year of Rothbard—Murray's 100th birthday—and we're celebrating by giving away free copies of The Origins of the Federal Reserve through July 31.

  G.K. Chesterton published The Outline of Sanity in 1926—a blueprint for a third way between capitalism and socialism, grounded in widespread property ownership, local accountability, and the rejection of mass dependence. A century later, the argument reads less like a footnote and more like a forecast. In this episode, hosts Grettelyn Darkey and Joe Grabowski—who wrote the introduction to the new ACS Books centennial edition—walk through Chesterton's economic vision section by section and make the case that his outline is still waiting to be built. In This Episode: Why G.K. Chesterton refused to let "capitalism" stand for what he meant and what the naming problem reveals about the false choice between two economic systems How G.K. Chesterton identified big business and big government as natural allies before anyone else did and why he saw their collusion coming as early as 1926 What G.K. Chesterton actually proposed: the section-by-section case for small ownership, fair regulation, and buying local over buying cheap Why G.K. Chesterton's warnings about advertising, standardization, and machinery anticipate the AI moment better than most things written in the last decade The tension G.K. Chesterton resolved that most economic thinkers never address: the difference between idealism, cynicism, and what he called sanity Chapters: 00:00: Introduction and Welcome 01:09: The ACS Centennial Edition and Why This Year 03:15: The Origins of Distributism and G.K.'s Weekly 08:58: What to Expect from The Outline of Sanity 11:08: Defining Capitalism—Why the Name Was Stolen 18:22: Big Business and Big Government in League 24:30: What Chesterton Actually Proposes: Regulation and Reform 28:40: Vote with Your Wallet: Boycotts, Advertising, and Snake Oil 39:58: The Land, the Machine, and Chesterton's Prophetic Vision 45:15: The Practicality of Idealism: Not Cynicism, Not Naïveté Resources Mentioned: The Outline of Sanity by G.K.
