Sep 25, 2023 – Normally, we’re talking about San Francisco’s spectacular commercial real estate troubles on top of everything else wrong with that city. But today I came across something concerning another city that was kind of surprising – I don’t know, maybe I shouldn’t have been. It is bluer than blue, but I...

Sep 25, 2023 – There seem to be Nazis everywhere today. Well, Nazis and RUSSIANS. “I fear that the Russians have proved themselves to be quite adept at interfering and if he has a chance, he’ll do it again.”@HillaryClinton on Putin’s potential election interference in 2024 pic.twitter.com/wW5FXBvF4J — Inside with Jen Psaki...

Sep 25, 2023 – Hickory, dickory, dock – has NetZero done run out the clock? Damn near, it’s starting to look like. With the fits and spurts of disastrous wind farm auction news leaking out, the trials and tribulations of the wind energy sector itself as it implodes under the weight of over...

Sep 22, 2023 – Nothing but sterling over-achievers populate the cabinet desks of the Biden administration. Intellectuals to a one, they are also closet progressive fascists to the core, constantly dispensing nuggets of their government control philosophy that only gets beaten back if someone hears and objects. It’s never going away. The benevolent...

Sep 22, 2023 – Yup. We sure are humming right along, aren’t we? Let’s raise a toast to all that good news. AP Photo/Evan Vucci I mean, when even the money gurus can’t get out of their own way, there’s something going on. The U.S. Federal Reserve system is cutting about 300...

Sep 22, 2023 – Here’s a little wrinkle in the shutdown drama I have to admit I never saw coming. The threat of a shutdown is always nerve wracking for U.S. military members – especially junior ones with families – because it’s never made clear whether you’ll miss a paycheck or not thanks...

Sep 21, 2023 – A Twitter friend of mine retweeted an extraordinary graph this afternoon, and, cripes. This thread vividly illustrates that we *already* live in an ideologically integrated constitutional order, dominated by one faction. It has an official political theology, American left-liberalism, that it enforces by a range of legal, non-legal and...

Sep 21, 2023 – For all the positive signs sanity may be returning to a large swath of the country, and for all the donor money flowing into GOP coffers elsewhere, none of that seems to be true in the Old Dominion State of Virginia. When election night 2021 wrapped up, the GOP had...

Sep 21, 2023 – Ah, what a difference 81M votes make. Obvious as it was during the legendary basement campaign that Joe Biden’s already less than stellar mental faculties were rapidly on the road to Mushville, personal antipathy towards the sitting president overrode any concern about pulling the lever for a subpar...

Sep 20, 2023 – Ah, the tentacles of the police state and cancel culture are never far from the latest person to run afoul of virtue signaling sensibilities or a well funded dive into one’s past looking for what could be dirty dynamite for the justice mob and Kryptonite for the whole of one’s...

Sep 20, 2023 – There’s been a shake-up in the public affairs department of the Ukrainian Army. Feisty American transgender territorial defense forces spokesperson Sarah Ashton-Cirillo… Yeah. I said it. And it makes me proud. 💯 🇺🇦🌻 pic.twitter.com/5xQY3wmGWe — Sarah Ashton-Cirillo (Ukrainian TDF Media) (@SarahAshtonLV) September 20, 2023...

Sep 20, 2023 – For mega-moguls whose names are instantly recognizable, few are more so than Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg. Particularly now that Elon has purchased Twitter, transforming it into “X,” and maintaining most of the freedoms he promised when he did so, there couldn’t be a greater contrast between the two social...

Sep 20, 2023 – The BBC was really tickled with themselves yesterday when breaking the news about a leak they’d received – a really alarming and irksome leak. What they’d heard through the stealthy grapevine was word that Prime Minister Rishi Sunak was seriously contemplating rolling BACK the ambitious – some even insist insane...

Sep 19, 2023 – ASKING FOR A FRIEND THE COUNTRY Gotta admit – old Joe’s sunny optimism the other day was misplaced. Welp, the UAW is officially on strike.🤷🏻‍♂️🙄 NoBoDy saw this coming. pic.twitter.com/1X8kMxBALQ — Brian😎🇺🇸 (@BrianMGC) September 15, 2023 Still, the Biden administration tried to keep a...

Sep 19, 2023 – Interesting things are afoot in the U.K. as Prime Minister Rishi Sunak fights for his political life against a not very popular, but “at least he’s someone different” Labour leader, Sir Keir Starmer. I’ve written about Sir Keir and his off-the-wall Green fanaticism several times over the course of...

Sep 19, 2023 – Ah, Bidenomics – that modern marvel of fiscal engineering, and lucky, LUCKY us. “Now they’re gettin’ it.” …the skeevy old charlatan whispered to the audience. You bet we’re “gettin’ it,” Gramps – everyone’s gettin’ it good and hard. The poverty rate in the United...

Sep 18, 2023 – This may not be shaking out the way the United Auto Workers envisioned after all. Yeah, their president got to talk tough, and they walked out with a new strategy, striking all 3 major automakers at the same time, one facility at a time. Striking a blow for...

Sep 18, 2023 – Every day when I sit here, reading things from around the world, and finding off-the-wall stuff to write about, I become more and more convinced that the people running England don’t really like the English people very much. In fact, I believe there is a concentrated effort afoot to wipe...

Sep 18, 2023 – Don’t look now, but things are SO FABULOUSLY PEACHY in this woke, DEI-driven, white rage hunting, craptastic, anti-American military the current rainbow warrior leadership has given us, that even the miserable failure of Bidenomics can’t drive people to join. No, sir. Contrary to Progressive expectations, the promises of protected...

Oct 6, 2023 – There seems to be labor troubles all over. No one is feeling the love they believe they deserve, no one is getting what they think they rate – not helped by the fair number of people who have a larger-than-life opinion of their worth to begin with – and then...

Oct 6, 2023 – I mean, I don’t want to rain on anyone’s tantrum parade or anything (I’m not really that kinda gal at heart – I only play one here at HotAir.). But the United Auto Workers union has been on an ever-expanding strike against the Detroit 3 (GM, Ford and...

Oct 6, 2023 – Last month I did a piece on the fragility of the Texas electrical grid being possibly being tested by 13 minutes of solar eclipse. THIRTEEN MINUTES OF KINDA DARK Yeah. …ERCOT has 22GW of solar generation capacity installed, which on the average beautiful bright day produces 13GW...

Oct 5, 2023 – Things are getting really interesting in Deutschland on the energy front as winter rapidly approaches. One of my favorite Bond villains – German Vice-Chancellor and Green party guru Robert Habeck – who also happens to be one of the chief architects/enforcers of his country’s insane forced march to NetZero,...

Oct 5, 2023 – Once upon a time, there was a young leftist “social justice advocate” named Ryan Thoresen Carson. He had the big smile, tousled hair, and wonky glasses so many of these social worker types do, as well as holding many of the ultra-progressive views so currently in vogue. …[His...

Oct 5, 2023 – We have been increasingly beaten to death with the fantasy that sex is a social construct vice a function of biological assignment at conception. That it can be manipulated, erased and/or changed completely to suit one’s mood at any time, and the “something” that is wrong is with us if...
