The Father of This Blog

 I ran across this clip today after arguing economics and money with some prof and his loyal following on Twitter.

What shocked me was that Milton Friedman used the term Frankenstein Government long before I ever saw this clip.

Indeed.

Article I Section 8 - Powers of Congress
~ To make all Laws which shall be necessary and proper for carrying into Execution the foregoing Powers, and all other Powers vested by this Constitution in the Government of the United States, or in any Department or Officer thereof.
What is "necessary and proper"? Anything they want it to mean. There is no such thing as an unconstitutional law because if it got passed it had to be "necessary and proper".

Limited, or minimalist government if it is Necessary and Proper and as we've witnessed, unlimited governmental powers as it has been deemed Necessary and Proper.

There's your Necessary and Proper Frankenstein clause defined in the Powers of Congress. Either or is constitutional.. There's the first fken flaw.. Another is keeping secrets.. Right there in clear concise legal terms..

The obvious deal breakers if one can recognize a bad deal is clearly defined in the Powers of Congress..

Oh Boy, old Milton's hair would be on fire if he could see what has happened to government in the past couple decades. "threatened to destroy us'??? We are so far past that. It is destroying us.

Anyone that thinks we have a semblance of a representative government in DC is smoking crack.

Do Americans want millions of illegal aliens from every country on earth pouring across our border?

Does polling reflect support for the proxy war in Ukraine?

Parents are willing to let 10 year old chose genital mutilation?

Tax revenues are staggering and yet we now manufacture several trillion fairy dust dollars every year. Frankenstein government is here kids and he wants more.

Who in their right fucking mind believes there was an insurrection on 1/6?

Joe Biden, who can hardly string together 2 coherent sentences, managed to get 81 million votes and anyone questioning the 2020 election is a denier?

Is there a line in the sand? Some where? ANYWHERE? The absurdity of Admiral Levine working as a Health Sec. for this idiotic government is a perfect metaphor for the devastated state of our former great country.

The list goes on & on with a compliant legacy media that obfuscates reality and info sources that are watched, tracked and commanded as to what to air.

GREAT POST; COMMENTS.

THE LEVIATHAN WE CALL GOV'T NEEDS TO BE DISMANTLED.

WATCHING THESE SENATE HEARINGS ON THESE FREAKS OBOZO HAS DREDGED UP IS BEYOND SCARY. EVERY SINGLE ONE HAS A WOKE DOCTORATE ; IS A MASSIVE LIAR AND IS COMPLETELY CLUELESS. FROM HOMELAND SECURITY (TYPICAL OF GOV'T BEING THE EXACT OPPOSITE OF THE MONIKER / AFORDABLE CARE ACT; INFLATION REDUCTION ACT, AND ON AND ON >>>), TO THE HEAD OF THE FCC, THE INTERIOR, ETC., ETC..

WE CAN ONLY HOPE THE ORANGE HAIRED MAN GETS IN THERE AND FIRES EVERY SINGLE ON OF THESE WOKSTERS.

GOOGLE THE HEADS OF ALL THE HEALTH SECRATARIES. I WILL SAY, THE WOKSTERS HAVE A GOOD SENSE OF HUMER.

DC-DOES KEEP MY TESTOSTERONE SKY HIGH. HAVE TO A LEAST THANK THEM FOR THAT.

POWER (BACK) TO THE PEOPLE!

So Milton Friedman came up with the name first? I guess great men think alike.

It's Showtime Bitches!!- The Sunday Collage

Image
 Today, they convicted Former President Trump today on 34 counts of make believe bullshit fabricated from a 17 year old tryst with a porn star.  At it's very worst, Donald Trump may have gotten a piece of ass on the side. He may have used campaign funds to give Ms. Daniels 130,000 to shut up about it. He may have (gasp) lied. Let's conjure up some perspective. Of all the whores in the Whitehouse, JFK was probably the worst. Kennedy was a well documented sex addict. The "Stormy" of his day was a film star named Marilyn Monroe. Men (and women) have been screwing around on their spouses since time began. Millions upon millions and probably billions. Clinton paid Paula Jones 7 times what Daniels received. Where was the big witch trial then? So men like to get laid. Unscrupulous women provide vaginas. There is nothing proprietary there. No news flash.  The US government spends 100's of billions of dollars a year on welfare, wars, shitty student and housing loans, bond ...

Was It Worth the Trouble, Mr. Trump?

 Several years ago, as Ann Coulter (2016) was being laughed at for predicting the Trump presidential win, I was reading a piece about why working-class America was supporting a billionaire. It was a nasty piece, a hit job, explaining that poor, working class Americans were a bunch of dupes enamored by wealth and fame. Deplorables, according to Hillary. It was also total bullshit.  Over the years after Hillary Clinton, perhaps one of the most highly effective criminals in America lost her bid to become President, I came to understand the widespread appeal of Donald Trump. It wasn't polished bullshit, it wasn't party support, experience, or a career of broken political promises. It was something else entirely. Something that I treasured.  To be sure, I was not a Trump supporter back then. I am a strict adherent to George Carlin's political views in that we keep electing these rich assholes and nothing changes. So I skipped the voting process in 2016 for that reason and also...

9 Million Counterfeit Ballots- The Sunday Collage

 Earlier this week, graphs started popping up on X and other places. Most of those graphs showed the steep and dramatic increase in popular votes that occurred in 2020 and compared the elections of 2008, 2012, 2016, 2020, and 2024 for context. Beyond any doubt, democrat or republican, the popular vote totals for Biden in 2020 were astronomical. Many charts reflected raw data as it stood on Wednesday and Thursday. Some showed a difference of as many as 18 million ballots cast for democrats compared to previous elections and 2024. Those early charts did not take into account that California was still counting. Counting votes in California is apparently a Herculean task unlike Florida who had their votes counted in a few hours after the polls closed. Thus we are left with the rusty machinery that counts votes in California by either necessity or design. California still had at least 8 million votes to count and Arizona still hadn't finished counting either. By extrapolating what's...
