When a group of people form a society, whether it is the Pilgrims, the Oneidas, the Shakers, the Communists or any other groups, one thing they have to decide is how they are going to organize money. How will people eat and how will the organizers (government) seize its monetary needs? Money is an interface between physical and spiritual. People often fail to recognize the role that morality plays in economic policy. In this show, we examine the questionable morality of the Income Tax and little...

A vital secret of successful living is moving on from the past, no matter how horrible, evil, unjust, or immoral that past was. Some of the best ways to live successfully is to avoid financial dependence on the largesse of government or charity, become a great spouse and a great parent, find faith, and develop a circle of like-minded friends. This works for those born with a silver spoon in their mouths just as it does for those who have endured great hardship, even pain in their pasts. But the ...

Most of what the sick, evil and twisted denizens of the Democratic Party claimed about Pres. Trump weren’t true. Here are ten things about the President that are indeed true. One of them is while occasionally really bad men do have great kids, those great kids never retain relationships with their bad fathers. When you see great kids remaining close to their dads, you’d be making a big mistake writing off those dads as jerks. They aren’t. Listen for the remaining nine Trump truths. Learn more ab...

I have two dear friends (whose names I mention in the show) each of whom hosts a national radio show and each of whom were ‘Never-Trumpers’. I didn’t understand them then. I don’t understand them now. But they are both good and honorable men. I decided to come up with ten truths that they couldn’t contradict and which would leave them both incapable of explaining satisfactorily why they voted against President Trump.

President Trump defended the West and was reviled as a racist. That slur is nothing but a meaningless bludgeon. Can’t tell the difference between the West and the Rest? Just try using a public bathroom in Bahawalpur and then do the same in Boston. Still not sure? Okay, time to get dramatic. Break your leg on the street in Lagos, and then do the same (the other leg) in London. Getting the idea? Just try buying a home or starting a business in Teheran and then try it in Tallahassee. So if the West...

Do you know any new brides thrilled that their frugal fiancées bought their engagement rings at a flea market for $6.99? Why is it important for women to get engaged with an expensive diamond ring? Why don’t women propose marriage to men?

Ayn Rand wasn’t right on everything but she is on these 2 ideas: “A man's sexual choice is the result and the sum of his fundamental convictions . Show me the woman he sleeps with and I will tell you his valuation of himself.” And this one, “...money demands of you the highest virtues…men who have no courage, pride or self-esteem…who have no moral sense of their right to their money…men who apologize for being rich…” If you could teach your children only two things, teach them how money works an...

Let’s consolidate Leftism, Socialism, Marxism, Communism, Progressivism, and yes, Liberalism, all under one simple but true umbrella---Secular Fundamentalism. Start off with a commitment to secularism, and your soul is automatically tugged left. Reject God and for most the alternative is government. But why Oh why do people who hate private property and despise the “rich” also loathe the traditional family. Why can’t you be a good economic leftist, loving high taxes and government redistribution...

It might have been written over 150 years ago but the part of our soul to which Marx and Engels were singing is still seduced by socialism. Until we are willing to deny the State any rights to our families and to our money, we will always remain vulnerable. Under the promise of security and equality, politicians lure you into dependency.

In this show I describe the many ways that death has unobtrusively invaded our culture. Sometimes it is camouflaged as tolerance or political correctness. Other times such as the assisted suicide and euthanasia legalization movement it is quite blatant. Infatuation with the culture of death underlies much of how ugliness is replacing beauty, vulgarity is replacing restraint, and why C**P and S**T have become part of almost conventional communication. Every A*****E knows that. Flinging those word...

Another island analogy describing what will happen in America, Canada, and Europe, as more and more people go onto government payroll. 77% of women expect man to pay for date. Are they gold diggers? Are they free-loaders? Are they poor? Not at all. Their reasons are not financial. They are emotional and they are valid. We explore just why it is in the best interests of both the man and the woman for him to pay for dinner. And while we’re at it, don’t date him if he doesn’t have a job. Learn more...

Why was Mrs. Lapin laughing at the Balzac quote about most husbands looking like Orangutans trying to play violins? We avoid building bridges that are destined to fail. We avoid constructing buildings that defy laws of gravity and will fall. Yet, large numbers of people set themselves up in living arrangements that will most likely result in trainwrecks. Do some “open marriages” survive? There may be one or two. Do most children do better living with their father and their mother married to one ...

China is buying one large American company after another. Hilton Hotels, GE Appliances, Waldorf Hotel, AMC Theaters, Motorola, Smithfield Foods, and hundreds & hundreds more. Progressive politicians say, “No problem! It’s all good.” Academics and media elites are all internationalists and globalists anyway, so they think it’s just fine. But what does your gut say? Is it really good when an American company moves production to China? There’s a reason the secular left is fine with man jobs lea...

A look at the TV sitcom of the 90s, Friends. How our relationships fall into 3 categories: Sexual (family); Non-Sexual (financial); and friends. The role objective obligation plays in relationships.

t’s an inconvenient truth for progressives that single people are seven times poorer than married people. America is now a two-caste system with marriage as the dividing line. In the high-income third of the population, children are raised by married parents; in the bottom-income third, children are raised by single parents. The main difference between the haves and the have-nots is that the haves tend to marry and give birth, in that order. The have-nots tend to have babies and remain unmarried...

A woman has the right to tell a man who wants something from her, “No!” But a baker or photographer has no right to say “No!” to certain people who want something from them. Any pleasure that two or more consenting adults wish to take from one another’s bodies is perfectly acceptable. However, society gets very involved critiquing and sanctioning two consenting adults who choose certain economic transactions. Why is sex always fine whereas money is usually very not fine?

Prosecutors frequently build their reputations prosecuting business professionals and their companies. Often no wrongdoing is uncovered but by then it is too late. On college campuses women with morning-after regret frequently charge last night’s paramour with rape. Reputations ruined and careers destroyed.
