5 Facts about Fascism
This year marked the 100th anniversary of the forming of the Fascist movement in Milan, Italy. A primary stated goal of fascist governments is autarky, or national self-sufficiency. But as an economic system, says Sheldon Richman, fascism is socialism with a capitalist veneer.

MMT "QUALIFIES AS THE FINANCIAL EQUIVALENT TO WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION"
The biggest threat to our prosperity, to your pension and to the prospects of your children and grandchildren is in all likelihood something that you’ve never heard of. Yet Modern Monetary Theory (MMT), which ironically is neither modern nor a monetary theory, has been setting alight debate on the Left and looks set to form a substantial role in Labour’s interventionist power grab over the economy. MMT is all theoretical nonsense. The inflationary consequences of substantially increasing government spending are an economic reality. Promising to spend wisely assumes a knowledge of the economy that we all know politicians don’t have.

Dobson rips 'thinly veiled death sentence to 1st Amendment'
There was the Dred Scott Supreme Court decision in 1857, which endorsed slavery. Then there was the abortion-right-creating Roe v. Wade high court ruling which had a foundation so shaky that even the justice who authored the majority opinion expressed doubts. Now it’s the U.S. Congress, where the House last week adopted the Equality Act. It is nothing less than “a thinly veiled death sentence to the First Amendment to the Constitution,” James Dobson Family Institute founder James Dobson warned on Monday. The Equality Act would embed the LGBT agenda in U.S. law. It specifically would make the Constitution’s protections for religious freedom of no account when in conflict with LGBT rights.

Map: The United States of America, ranked from best to worst
Washington is the best state in the nation, while Louisiana and Alabama are the worst, according to a new analysis by U.S. News & World Report. The American rankings and analysis website factored in health care, education, economy, infrastructure, opportunity, fiscal stability, crime and corrections, and natural environment to create its annual list of the best and worst U.S. states. With a GDP of $524.323 billion, Washington came out on top. The state’s economy is largely boosted by the aerospace industry and the military and defense sector, which “employs the second-largest number of people in Washington,” according to the report.
