Fewer moments in history are as misunderstood and revised (or reviled) as the Crusades.

Electric Cars Are An Expensive Scam

BY: DAVID HARSANYI – JUNE 29, 2023 – 5 MIN READ – The Federalist If EVs were really an innovation, the state wouldn’t have to bribe and force companies to produce them. The left likes to treat skeptics of electrical cars as if they were Luddites. Truth is, making an existing product less efficient but more expensive doesn’t really meet the definition of innovation.

Democracies always die a fiscal death

“A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves largesse from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most benefits from the public treasury with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy, always followed by a dictatorship. The average age of the world’s greatest civilizations has been 200 years. These nations have progressed through this sequence: From bondage to spiritual faith; From spiritual faith to great courage; From courage to liberty; From liberty … Continue reading Democracies always die a fiscal death
