Turnout models – the bane of the polling industry! Sort of like climate models, lots of supposition and wish-casting, but when placed against reality they fall apart. The reason the pollsters got it wrong this election cycle is they cannot see outside the frame of the Political Industrial Complex (PIC)*. Heaven help us if they […]

For people who are supposed to be the “intellectually elite” over the rest of us average Americans, the left side of the Political Industrial Complex (PIC) seems to throttled at full “self-destruct” this year.

Modeled after the UK’s failing National Health Service, Obamacare is guaranteed end up with the same medical disasters as the NHS: In an article for The Daily Telegraph, Andrew Lansley says the core values of the […]
