Aug 11, 2023 – Yesterday, the Chinese dropped the core module into the world’s first commercial small modular nuclear reactor. We should actually be green around the gills at the news, nauseous with disgust that they can eat our lunch this way. Chinese propaganda organs were churning out the good news...

Aug 10, 2023 – When last we saw our our protagonists, the putsches who’d seized power in Niger weren’t budging, black crow of Death Victoria Nuland had landed to demand an outcome satisfactory to her and threaten consequences and was summarily dismissed. ECOWAS (Economic Community of African States) had tried and failed to negotiate...

Aug 10, 2023 – I regret to inform you that pallets of cash to Iran season is back: pic.twitter.com/RTldBpCZNj — Prison Mitch (@MidnightMitch) August 10, 2023 But the Americans aren’t exactly “free” like we think “free” yet. It’s more the Iranians’ version of stringing the deal out. I...

Aug 10, 2023 – This is one of those stories that I was hesitant to write about, because it’s outrageous outrage ready…and those are usually the ones that bite you in the butt when you jump right on them. But I’ve gotten my independent confirmation from impeccable, on the scene sources, and I...

Aug 10, 2023 – There was an interesting blurb about Tesla’s solar shingle roofing system that I’d missed. I’d completely forgotten Elon Musk that had purchased a solar panel company back in 2016, but you know that couldn’t be the whole story. The company he “bought” to merge with Tesla was...

Aug 9, 2023 – Here’s a sticky wicket of hypocrisy for virtue signaling do-gooders of the world. At the end of May, the African nation of Uganda enacted anti-gay legislation that seems unthinkable. Uganda’s president has signed into law anti-gay legislation supported by many in this East African country but widely condemned...

Aug 9, 2023 – Back in February I told y’all I’d heard there were some potential problems ahead with the olive oil crops out of the Mediterranean. It was awful dry in Greece, Spanish production was down, and the catastrophic earthquakes and on-going recovery were hampering what could have been robust Turkish and Syrian...

Aug 9, 2023 – I about choked on my coffee when little brother Crusader sent me this link this morning. And that was only the headline causing the reaction – THIS headline. UPS drivers’ new $170k per year deal shows that unions (and Joe Biden) may just save the middle class...

Aug 9, 2023 – A bad humored New York City councilman named Lincoln Restler has started a war he probably hadn’t anticipated would be a ferocious battle right out the gate. What a dummy. Well, actually – what a typical Progressive. In Mr. Restler’s infinite wisdom, he identified a problem that...

Aug 28, 2023 – This could get very interesting. In the disgusting heap of whodunit, finger pointing, and incompetence that is the Maui/Lahaina tragedy, everybody’s favorite whipping boy just threw a wrench in the plans to blackball them. Maui County filed a lawsuit last Thursday against Hawaiian Electric Company, claiming they’d started the...

Aug 28, 2023 – So, when you live in Never Never Land as Greens seem to do , there’s nothing that the act of your merely saying it can’t make so. It has happened repeatedly with their empty promises of renewables carrying the United Kingdom cheaply and reliably forward into the 22d century and...

Aug 28, 2023 – May the good Lord hold those who were lost in Jacksonville close in the palm of His hand, comfort those who cherished them, and whose hearts were broken by this vile, unthinkable act. This whole, horrific affair is so ghastly for Jacksonville, gut wrenching losses for family and friends,...

Aug 25, 2023 – I told you back in March that Governor Randall Flagg-lite – Gavin Newsom of California – had done an abrupt u-turn regarding the shuttering of the state’s last nuclear plant at Diablo Canyon. In a volte-face worthy of a twinkle-toed Baryshnikov, Newsom went from climate cultist hero to dirty...

Aug 25, 2023 – Is there any joy in this life this sour, bitter, dementia-riddled old man and the harpies enabling him cannot try to rip from your fingers? Is there any comfort in your solidly middle class life that they will not try to deprive you of, or, if unsuccessful, at least regulate...

Aug 25, 2023 – Somehow, in that sad, twisted and demented city, this is both surprising and a failing of the San Francisco Police Department. The San Francisco Standard did a deep dive into police “use of force” numbers, and came up with that figure. Just by the videos and news reports I’ve...

Aug 24, 2023 – The British Isles have pretty much wiped themselves clean of every form of ranging wildlife they once had. Nothing roams the few forests you can find, or the denuded hills, that will scratch or bite or plain maul you to death – well, anything that’s furry and four-footed, that is....

Aug 24, 2023 – Nothing like piling on, you lucky daggum Texas renewable reliant types. Not only is it H-O-T (aka “summer in TEXAS“), your state has sold its soul to the renewables cult, so when summer strikes as it sometimes does, you get warnings like this one an hour ago: Texans asked...

Aug 24, 2023 – Unless the “small town” looks suspiciously Davos-y and that’s by design. Something about his whole demeanor last night was rubbing me the wrong way the more I thought about it. Maybe it was the injured leg tripping his vibes up…I didn’t know. Things got a good deal clearer...

Aug 23, 2023 – Tonight’s the night it al begins in earnest. Bloodied noses, dented egos, dogs and cats, living together – it should be AWESOME. So. Let’s get the particulars out of the way first: Dateline: Tonight Where:….WISCONSIN? Well, hello, Milwaukee! The two-hour debate will start...

Aug 23, 2023 – The City of Brotherly Love. You’re shocked, right? Philadelphia is a laggard when it comes to businesses and return to work (RTO -return to office) policies refilling office spaces in an urban downtown. It seems not many employees are thrilled with the idea of taking their lives in...

Aug 23, 2023 – As I’m not into cultural or economic suicide – not that we aren’t doing pretty well with that all by our loneselves here – and, as I think Europe already has a leg up on us, I’ll let them slip off into the abyss by themselves. But England,...

Aug 23, 2023 – How some fortunes change, seemingly overnight. One minute you’re the toast of the town, the next? A few measly business reversals and BOOM. People are talking bad about you. Sam Bankman-Fried fits that description. He’s had a helluva ride since spring. Ah, SBF – for...

Aug 22, 2023 – Whew! That little whirlwind trip went well, didn’t it? “Yeah. He’s an idiot.” MAUI FIRE Lahaina local questions why President Joe Biden is sending funds to Ukraine while her town has been destroyed and is in crisis. @JoeBiden Support the people of Lahaina: For...

Aug 22, 2023 – We’ve got a couple little brushes with NASA through our side of the family. One is simply by happenstance. One of the pilots who had been in our squadron prior to my arrival there had been at Pax River as a test pilot, and then gotten selected for astronaut training....

Aug 22, 2023 – That’s kind of an interesting question. With the constant haranguing of threats impending doom, the shared responsibility for the epic boiling of the oceans even as they rise to drown us all…how bad are we? How inefficient are our pursuits, how selfish about our creature comforts, the unreasonableness of...
