Who Should Run Our Economy? 12:04

10d ago12:04

12:04

Everybody has ideas on how to run the American economy but nobody seems to be very happy about the results. The Economist magazine across the Atlantic doesn’t think our economy is so bad.

23d ago14:36

14:36

Have you ever thought about what would really make America great again? While there are people that believe that America was never great in the first place, most of us patriotically think America was pretty great.

Inflation is Not Done with Us 12:00

1M ago12:00

12:00

We may think that the worst of inflation is over, but a changing world order means that inflation will be sticking with us.

Strategic Voting 8:00

2M ago8:00

8:00

Replacing Joe Biden with Kamala Harris has not really improved the options we voters have in the 2024 presidential elections. The campaign promises of Trump and Harris run the gamut from dopey to scary. Most Americans do not support their radical agendas. Come this November we must vote wisely to protect America. In this podcast the Edifice of Trus…

The Solution to Price Gouging 8:11

2M ago8:11

8:11

In her economic policy speech, Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris blamed inflation on price gouging by greedy corporations. But Nobel prize winner Milton Friedman is famous for saying, “Inflation is made by Government and no one else.” Why does Ms. Harris and other progressives doubt that inflation is caused by government? In this podc…

Fool me once shame on you. Fool me twice shame on me. We were fooled by Barack Obama. We were told that Joe Biden was the centrist alternative.

Amid all the excitement about her candidacy are we going to be played…

The little-known movement of National Conservatism rose to prominence after its recent conference featured many speakers from Donald Trump’s Republican Party including J. D.

What is Trumpism without Trump? 9:01

3M ago9:01

9:01

Why Does Trump Lie? 8:48

3M ago8:48

8:48

So why does he lie? I don’t know. We can only speculate. We have gone from George Washington saying, “I cannot tell a lie” (which is probably a lie because there is no proof he ever said it) to “I cannot tell the truth because I don’t know what is the truth.” Lying is so pervasive now that has been renamed “gaslighting.” In this podcast the Edifice…

The Democrats howl because the Supreme Court does not bow down to the popular will not realizing that the entire purpose of the Court is to frustrate the fickle and often irrational urges of the popular will.

He Must be Guilty of Something 8:37

5M ago8:37

8:37

The most recent of the many trials of former President Donald Trump by George Soros backed prosecutors will be going to the jury soon.

Why Slavery? 12:17

7M ago12:17

12:17

Slavery has existed throughout human history and prehistory. But why? It all comes down to energy. Ancient humans only had the energy of their own body.

A recent op-ed in the Wall Street Journal called the Michigan city of Dearborn a center of jihad and antisemitism. The mayor of Dearborn xed (tweeted) that the article was Islamophobic.

Understanding Diversity 15:23

15:23

A lot of people think that diversity is a good thing. But is it? People have to go out of their way to be diverse.
