A scientific-illiterate Trump cannot compel scientists to violate professional ethics to mitigate his public humiliation over ill-informed comments on the hurricane and Alabama. The free market of ideas cannot be contained by the State.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) September 10, 2019

#WhoIsJohnYang No, the real question is "Who is John Galt?"— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) September 10, 2019
If there is one thing that unites all us libertarians and men of good will, it's the long-overdue termination of John Bolton. Bolton should never have been hired in the first place, especially by an America First POTUS.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) September 10, 2019
Bolton is simply trying to save one of his 2 faces. There is only one reason Bolton would have resigned: he did not have Trump's confidence. If he didn't have Trump's backing, his termination was inevitable. I thought the writing was on the wall when Trump refused to attack Iran.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) September 10, 2019
George Bush was WRONG to enter a war with Afghanistan, as if we could do what the Soviets couldn't, closer to Afghanistan than we are. The Democrats were WRONG to label Afghanistan the "good war". It's time to end this war costing American lives and treasure. https://t.co/xK5dWxVpEt— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) September 10, 2019

North Carolina Dems are fuming that the state house speaker took advantage of their absence from work to pass an override of the governor's veto of the state budget. It's not their fault they failed to ensure enough Dems showed up to block an override. They trusted a politician?— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) September 12, 2019
The vaping kerfuffle betrays Trump's obsession with the power of Big Government over individual rights. Personally I don't smoke or vape, but government prohibitions are almost always bad public policy.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) September 12, 2019
Apparently Barron must have pissed off Big Poppa Trump because he's now Melania's son.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) September 12, 2019

#IKnewItWasAScamWhen Trump promised to eliminate the national debt— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) September 12, 2019
#IKnewItWasAScamWhen Congress called it "social security" but "invested" it in financing government deficits.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) September 12, 2019
#IKnewItWasAScamWhen Barry "the $10T man" promised to reduce the deficit.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) September 12, 2019
#IKnewItWasAScamWhen government promises it can improve the free market. The government doesn't build bridges; it's only good at demolishing them.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) September 12, 2019
#IKnewItWasAScamWhen Trump decided to give welfare to farmers at the expense of taxpayers when his unprovoked trade war with China backfired on farmers exporting there.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) September 12, 2019
#DemocraticDebate. What debate is there? How to balance the budget? How to soak the rich? Who can kill the most preborn children? Who can meddle the most in the internal affairs of other countries?— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) September 12, 2019
#CluesTheyAreCheating when the student was asked to explain in front of the class how he came up with the correct answer on the test. (True story: an MBA student bought copies of the finance professor's past exams. I was trying to help him solve easy NPV problems--clueless.)— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) September 12, 2019
Trump is pushing for zero or even negative rates by the Fed, in hopes of goosing the economy for his reelection, and to renegotiate the national debt at low rates. DEAD WRONG! First, the Fed doesn't control LT rates. Second, Trump would punish savers.https://t.co/2ARQZFsIt0— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) September 13, 2019
Nope. Health care is a fungible service, just like growing food to sell other people. Both professions provide life-sustaining benefits. We never needed government to control markets. Government policies often result in market abnormalities, like shortages (e.g., rent control).— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) September 13, 2019
Are Democrats really fighting over who inherited the "legacy" of Obama? Barry's legacy includes doubling the national debt, below-average economic growth and recovery, inflation-bound healthcare costs, an erosion of civil liberties, and failed foreign interventions.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) September 13, 2019
Well, you can argue that Trump has had to cope with the Wicked Witch of the West, aka Nancy Pelosi. "Wizard of Oz'— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) September 13, 2019
Well, the Dem scarecrow did hear Trump say that he has the best brains. "Wizard of Oz"— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) September 13, 2019
Trump is once again pushing his insane talking point that past US trade representatives "incompetently" blundered away their negotiating advantage in trade deals. This is bullshit. Trade deals open up markets to foreign competition. Companies & individuals negotiate transactions.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) September 13, 2019
When Trump negotiated to purchase TVs from Chinese sellers for his hotels, he didn't have to get a permission slip from the federal government limiting his choices, like how many, what type, or which vendor he could choose. Trade deals don't guarantee sales to foreign consumers.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) September 13, 2019
Trump is trying to force American companies to in-source foreign operations. There are a variety of legitimate reasons for companies to diversify operations (including logistics, local consumer preferences, resource access, etc.) Trump is like grasping a balloon: foreign options.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) September 13, 2019
Trump cannot force domestic producers to pay unprofitable labor costs/adopt a failing business model. The genie is out of the bottle, and the competition is not just commodity low-skilled workers, but automation, including robotics. Government should focus on imposed costs.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) September 13, 2019
What is this all about? "Liar, liar, pants on fire"? The indisputable FACT is that AOC is an economically illiterate Statist political whore, who contributes nothing of value to the current political debate. #BoycottABC— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) September 13, 2019
As a proud libertarian-conservative, I have been a NeverTrumper from day one. Whereas some NeverTrumpers like Bill Kristol are neo-cons, Trump is the idiot who hired the arch-neo-con John Bolton.. Trying to pretend Trump is non-interventionist is a departure from reality.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) September 13, 2019
Could you imagine if Dems were convicted for bribing voters? All legislators would be in prison.. Including Trump who is paying welfare to farmers affected by his trade war.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) September 13, 2019

When a professional politician becomes rich by scamming thousands of American citizens into buying his economically illiterate, debunked, politics of envy rubbish, you don't pay attention to his pathetic attempts to impose his pretentious bullshit on us. #BernieYellsForUs— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) September 14, 2019
Maybe the 99% of delusional idiots gullible enough to believe the pretentious debunked bullshit spread by this self-serving political whore.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) September 14, 2019
We need "Medicare For All" like those veterans who died on waiting for socialized government healthcare.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) September 14, 2019
You can't make this stuff up. Trump, an adulterer who paid hush money to his porn star mistress, has the audacity to mock the infidelity of his political rival. Maybe Trump is jealous Sanford didn't have to pay for a woman to sleep with him.https://t.co/NCJW828RWe— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) September 14, 2019
Trump also boasted in his anti-Sanford tweet that he had primaried my former Congressman Sanford last year. What he didn't mention is that his endorsed rival lost the safe GOP seat in the general election. Never mind two failed endorsements to fill Sessions' Alabama Senate seat.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) September 14, 2019
The People's Republic of California is once again imposing its economically illiterate bullshit in an effort to kill the gig economy, demanding Uber (and other contracting companies) treat contractors as "employees" (a revenue grab for employer mandates).https://t.co/qnL5smyGo9— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) September 14, 2019
I have no patience for economically illiterate Statist political whores like California's Lorena Gonzalez. This is all counterproductive paternalistic rubbish like the minimum wage policy, which forbids lower-skill workers from negotiating wages with employers, unlike others.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) September 14, 2019
I am now, and have been occasionally in the past, an independent contractor; I have to file self-employment taxes (including the full 15.3% of social security and Medicare). Labor Day was not billable, so it was an unpaid holiday. But there are advantages to being one's own boss.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) September 14, 2019
I have had conversations with Uber drivers, most recently on a trip to Baltimore for eye surgery (I wasn't allowed to drive after surgery for several days). My drive was cheaper than by taxi, and my driver was at my far suburban residence within 5 minutes. He sets his own hours.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) September 14, 2019
Comparing employees with contractors is apples and oranges. The onboarding of contractors is simpler, and it is easier to accommodate peak demand (e.g., ridesharing during a mass transit outage, rainy weather, etc.); Uber can offer higher fares to attract drivers).— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) September 14, 2019
Good luck finding a ridesharing service in California if and when California's Moron-in-Chief signs the anti-gig economy bill into law. The state's "progressives" continue to enact every economically illiterate crackpot idea into law; you name it: rent control, minimum wage, etc— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) September 14, 2019
It's absurd that monthly rent in San Francisco. runs up to $4K or more. It's almost like Steve Urkel grew up to get elected to the city council or zoning commission in San Francisco, only to ask "Did I do that?" Yup. https://t.co/xeBV0CVTtt— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) September 14, 2019
Trump is intent on competing in a bidding war with his equally morally corrupt Dem opposition, to bribe voters in next year's POTUS election. You would have to tax 100% of income of $100K or above just to balance the existing budget, never mind promises.https://t.co/58ubCElqam— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) September 14, 2019
Once again, we are seeing the contemptible unconscionable smearing of a good man, a gifted jurist. This is yet another decades-old allegation that is intrinsically difficult to substantiate and totally inconsistent with his character by the people who know him best.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) September 15, 2019

But will they believe a woman who says she's NOT a victim? When I wrote a tweet yesterday supportive of Kavanaugh, the Gray Lady had not walked back the latest politically motivated slander against Kavanaugh. That Democrats rushed to judgment shows their moral corruption.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) September 16, 2019
Who the hell is Barry Obama?— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) September 17, 2019
What's sad is Kavanaugh Derangement Syndrome leftists believe politically motivated made-up bullshit, including long-debunked crackpot "repressed memories". They are gullible, easily manipulated, morally corrupt, contemptible bastards.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) September 17, 2019
"Geraldo"
The morally corrupt left wanted to steal the great Scalia's seat on SCOTUS with an undeserving mediocre judicial whore, Merrick Garland. Never mind that Democrats, including Biden, for years hypocritically ranted against election-year confirmations. Elections have consequences.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) September 17, 2019
Whatever lies and smears you use in your immoral, outrageous, contemptible attacks on a good man and eminently qualified, professional jurist, your role in politicizing SCOTUS is shameful and unworthy of any aspirant for the White House.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) September 17, 2019

My nephew Chris, when he was young, used to call me "Uncle Bonehead". I guess according to Trump, that makes me eligible to sit on the Federal Reserve.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) September 18, 2019
Trump, who desperately needs a strong economy heading into his reelection bid, is pissed the Fed only cut a quarter point vs. 0% or even negative interest rates. You know what takes guts? Standing your ground against a corrupt political whore, knowing he'll be pissed at you.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) September 18, 2019
There are over 36M people, over 10% of the American people, in the middle of a robust economy, getting their food subsidized by the American taxpayer It's time for families, communities and charities to step up to accommodate the truly needful, not for moral hazard. #HandsOffSNAP— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) September 19, 2019
I don't know who Stephen Miller is dating, but I'm willing to bet he didn't follow Trump's lead in marrying two immigrants.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) September 19, 2019

Busting Trump's myths: According to Moody's analytics, Trump's unprovoked trade wars have cost the US economy some 300K jobs, and we're on track to lose another 150K by year end.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) September 22, 2019
Trump thinks he's worthy of a Nobel Peace Prize. This is beyond hubris. He started unprovoked trade wars, he has imposed economic sanctions, he launched a military strike against Syria, he has expanded on Obama's drone wars, etc.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) September 24, 2019
