How the People's Republic of California Is Screwing Up Recreational Marijuana

The usual disclaimer: I personally have never used, transacted in, or invested in marijuana; I do not recommend its consumption. But I think prohibition is bad, counterproductive public policy. But the high state barriers to market entry is a lifeline to the underground economy.

The Failure of Big Government Economics

Facebook Corner

(Pro-Life Libertarians). Taxation is theft, even when a Republican does it.




 I, too. am mystified by this bizarre libertarian infatuation with an economic illiterate authoritarian like Trump. Gary North recently called Trump's inauguration speech as one of the best ever, comparing it to Lincoln, FDR, and JFK's. Lew Rockwell seems to totally buy into Trump's transparent pseudo-populist "anti-Establishment" hype, even as Trump staffs his administration with veteran politicians, political operatives, and generals.

But even worse, Trump's protectionism is anti-consumer and anti-business; it will worsen the standard of living for all except his favored few.

Pat Benatar, "Suffer the Little Children/Hell Is For Children". We're leading off with my favorite Benatar song--and my favorite performance of it with the "Suffer the Little Children" intro. I first heard the latter on a CD or phonograph given to me by my first sister's husband years back (probably in some storage box now). I was searching on Youtube several weeks back and couldn't find it; finally, someone posted it. My RN sister was distraught at having to deal with the results of child abuse on the job. I'm crazy about little kids and babies, although never blessed with my own. I even cringe at the sight of the occasional embarrassed mom slapping a crying or misbehaving child at Walmart.

Does anybody oppose the concept of "affordable healthcare"? Of course not, but that's the shade of lipstick the Dems put on their pig

— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) May 31, 2016

ObamaCare has done nothing to make healthcare more affordable any more than Trump University was a real university. All sizzle and no steak.

The question is how did an educated woman with an MD and PhD come to marry Alan Grayson, who had a 20-odd year marriage annulled on bigamy?

— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) May 31, 2016

Grayson's ex-wife had alleged domestic violence, and Grayson, a multi-millionaire. sought to exclude any division of assets during marriage.

— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) May 31, 2016

The wealthy Grayson's split was so acrimonious that his ex had to file for food stamps and their kids qualified for the free lunch program.

— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) May 31, 2016

Alan Grayson is like the Donald Trump of the Democratic Party. (Of course, some of us think that Trump never divorced from the Democrats.)

@renarddans @_arbitrageur_ @GeorgeWill George Will is the best columnist in America. You are just another Know Nothing Trump cultist.

I don't mean to get cross with Trumpkin or Sanders cultists, but I really lose my patience with people who hero-worship political whores.

I'm batting about 50/50 in Presidential elections, and I can tell you that even the ones I've voted for have deeply disappointed me.

I don't have Trump Derangement Syndrome. It's more of an extreme annoyance at a thin-skinned prima donna. This playground bully stuff is old

— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) May 31, 2016

I didn't like it when Cruz started attacking the media, and Trump makes Cruz look like an amateur. It is demeaning to the Presidency.

— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) May 31, 2016

Trump's phony populist shtick drives anyone with a functioning brain crazy. Trump's anti-trade, anti-immigrant stands are economic suicide.

— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) May 31, 2016

Trumponomics is not only Hooverism all over again; it's fundamentally corrupt & anti-consumer at core. Our fast-fading advantage:innovation.

"McConnell: Refusing to Back Trump Disrespects GOP Voters and Helps Hillary". Go to hell, McConnell. I don't give a damn about 40% of voters

If the GOP gave a damn about beating Clinton in the fall, they wouldn't be nominating the one asshole who will lose to her.

— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) May 31, 2016

I've said it before, and I'll say it again: Clinton may be a leftist, but she's less of a threat to liberty and the Constitution than Trump.

— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) May 31, 2016

I think Clinton will be sane on TPP and TTIP once that batshit crazy old geezer socialist is mathematically eliminated June 7.

— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) May 31, 2016

It may be that Trump isn't the buffoon he plays on the campaign trail, that this shtick is another con to persuade people to give him power.

— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) May 31, 2016

The problem with Trump, if this overaged schoolboy bully shtick is just an act, is that he risks losing his base if he ever breaks kayfabe.

— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) May 31, 2016

I've tweeted before, if you go through the RCP graph of head to heads, the gap has narrowed 3 times over the past year. Clinton has regained

— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) May 31, 2016

Clinton is an awful campaigner and lacks the charisma of Bill or Obama. But she is still in a tough battle against Sanders & that's hurting.

— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) May 31, 2016

Trump's ratings have improved since the last 2 candidates dropped out after Indiana weeks ago. Clinton will also improve once she clinches.

— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) May 31, 2016

Marco Rubio is now embarrassing himself. Now that he's kissed Pope Trump's ring, he admits that Trump's hands aren't as small as he thought.

— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) May 31, 2016

In fact, Trump is encouraging Rubio to file for reelection. I don't think so. He has spent much of the last year not voting, big problem.

— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) May 31, 2016

If I were Rubio, I would gear up to succeed term-limited Rick Scott. I think Rubio becomes a more credible candidate with admin experience.

— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) May 31, 2016

It looks as though this election is in the back mirror for Cruz. I just got an email seeking to raise funds for his Senate reelection.

— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) May 31, 2016

A big advantage for Clinton this fall will be Obama's increasing popularity, with approvals near or above 50%. Trump needs a straight flush.

— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) May 31, 2016

I was wondering why Bill Kristol and NR columninst David French were trending. It turns out that French may be the independent conservative.

— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) May 31, 2016

I have a preference for George Will, but I've read a number of good NR pieces from French; I want to see if it happens. He needs a platform.

— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) May 31, 2016

I want to know French's position on Nazi cakes (re: Johnson), but he's a principled conservative and a Constitutionalist, so I could support

— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) May 31, 2016
