May 11, 2026 – One by one, these Trump tough talkers just crumble. If he doesn't do it to them personally - think the public dressing down he gave Germany's Merz - their own hubris takes them out. Such is the case with the two-term Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen. Her standing in popularity polls...

May 12, 2026 – In Cambridge, Massachusetts, right outside of Boston, drivers minding their own business found things on the city's busy Memorial Drive got a little spicy real fast. It turns out there was a fellow who wanted the already-bustling traffic to hurry along and was using a somewhat aggressive manner to relay that,...

May 7, 2026 – I wanted to give you all a quick update on the offshore wind farm that's been nothing but trouble since its inception - Vineyard Wind, off the Nantucket coast.In the middle of April came word that one of the two partners in the project, GE Renewables, a subsidiary of GE...

May 6, 2026 – This has been a long time coming, and frankly, I kind of thought people had forgotten about it.In August of last year, it was apparent that something hinky was going on with Washington, D.C.'s metropolitan crime statistics. especially once they started getting trotted out on a regular basis to rebut...

May 12, 2026 – Welp.Sir Keir might not want to go what he feels is prematurely."Keir, put the cat down and come out.

May 12, 2026 – The big, progressive blue cities were fairly covering themselves in noxious glory yesterday, from the early release homicidal whack job with the decades-long violent rap sheet, shooting up a major city artery in Cambridge, Massachusetts.To Hamasholes in New York City, once again doing what they do best last night -...

May 12, 2026 – So, I always feel heartened when I can end the evening on either a high note or one so insanely ridiculous that you can't help but laugh.This is one of those.And please don't cry.Once upon a time in the legendary years of the reign of POTATUS, there was a man....

May 13, 2026 – All I have to say is 'heh.'Bingley sent me this gem from the land of the Syrupians, and I am crying.Meet Nate Erskine-Smith. He's a member of the Canadian Parliament who had his eye set on winning the neighboring seat of Scarborough Southwest in a byelection, which, after triumphing, he...

May 13, 2026 – I am about at the end of my rope with this already.It has me wondering if the dark powers that be are really so worried about Trump getting everything turned around in time for the midterms or what, that they've suddenly and ghoulishly latched onto Plague Ship, Part Deux.Now, they...

May 13, 2026 – Holy SMOKESThere is desperation. And then there's just so panicked that it's pathetic, and I'm afraid that's what these incredible revelations about Spencer Pratt are.I thought the one yesterday - the bombshell - that Pratt had Xweeted that Alex Jones was an okay guy until you look at the 'gotcha'...

May 19, 2026 – I hadn't realized that Washington, D.C., and points north were going to be unseasonably toasty this afternoon. It seems like just this weekend I was watching ball games, and everyone at the stadiums looked like they were freezing in the 50° air with a damp, chilly breeze.Weather. It'll switch on...

May 19, 2026 – Okay. So I am not using that fat slob's picture with his hairy, tattooed chest and jelly belly exposed for all to see, bellowing like a water buffalo for this post.I refuse. I'm over it.I found a lobster boat instead.Back to the Maine Democrats' poster boy.Over my time in politics,...

May 19, 2026 – Well, this sounds awfully tempting.If it wasn't for the commute, I might almost damn near go for it.ALMOSTN.Y.C. Hotel Housekeepers Will Earn Over $100,000 Under New Contract'Unusually generous terms'?Oh. I'd say so.The average pay of housekeepers in New York City hotels will increase to more than $100,000 a year as...

May 31, 2026 – There's an old saying that sometimes life imitates fiction, and it couldn't be truer than in the current Los Angeles mayoral race.You have a dystopian cityscape - filthy, covered with the refuse of society, both human and their waste - that looks as if it were created for a movie...

Jun 2, 2026 – I gave up weeks ago trying to figure any of this out. I leave that to the finer minds on this site to pore over the different strategies, statements, posturing, and wizen out the thinking behind chess moves.Me?I just want the Iranian regime gone. I realize why we couldn't state that...

Jun 3, 2026 – Oh, how far from the rapturous days of yore, when the Lightbringer was omnipotent, beloved, and worshipped, especially by the British.Much as the ponderous Pelley's pompous preenings preceded being sent packing, the luster can, if not carefully safeguarded, wear off the finest crown.This seems to have happened to the sheen...

Jun 4, 2026 – There seems to be something of a news blackout in Europe about this cranky student/educator dustup turned immigrant mob violence on the regular sites I'd check first.Can't imagine why. It's only Brussels, home to all the magnificence that is the European Union central - the parliaments, the European Commission.The feathered nest...

Jun 4, 2026 – My earlier post on upset students behaving badly that morphed into your now standard 'immigrants behaving badly' BikeBQ in downtown Brussels this evening gave the home of the European Union a little taste of the misery they've been so willing to inflict on their member states for over a decade.Then...

Jun 4, 2026 – Oh, for the days when something called The Gulf of AMERICA was the outrage du jour, but the basis for the change still could sort of be understood, even if you didn't necessarily agree with the who or why.The people squawking the loudest about that? The ones losing their cookies...

May 20, 2026 – There are lots of beautiful places to visit in Puerto Rico, but like so many spots on earth blessed with overwhelming, sensual gorgeousness, there's a nasty, dangerous, and dark undercurrent constantly in motion beneath all the lushness at the surface.One always hears about the criminal cartels and gangs of Mexico,...

May 20, 2026 – Hey. I don't wanna you-know-what in anybody's Cheerios, but someone needs to start taking a look at Texas Opie, as unappetizing as that sounds.James Talarico, the wee weird, fauxny preacherman, is creeping his way up the polls into what's known as 'contention.'Talarico winning in Texas is no fantasy.He's polling better...

May 21, 2026 – Two weeks ago, the last major oil shipment due into the Port of Long Beach, California via the Strait of Hormuz arrived, leaving elected officials scrambling for new sources of fuel as the fossil fuel-rich state faced the looming and very real possibility of shortages.Californians are facing growing uncertainty at...

May 22, 2026 – If that sounds to you like Alberta Premier Danielle Smith jinked when she should have jived, yeah.It sounds like that to a lot of people.As you know, if you've read any of my posts over the past year, the question of a referendum being on the Alberta ballot to begin...

May 22, 2026 – Golly. There are times you almost feel sorry for the scarecrow-looking creature that LAROs as the Chancellor of Germany, Friedrich Merz.ALMOSTAll the way back in November, when it had suddenly dawned on Merz that the Syrian civil war had sort of sorted itself out, the fellow who had been an...

May 20, 2026 – The latest location for a totally chaotic, totally illegal, totally out-of-control social media organized 'pop-up party' turned out to be Long Branch, New Jersey last night.And the exuberant 'youths' behaved exactly how they've behaved from Chicago to New York to a campground outside of Edmond, Oklahoma.Like savages run amok.🚨🇺🇸 Total...
