Dec 16, 2024 – Golly.Since Christiane Amanpour doesn't seem inclined to slog around warzones, proselytizing against Western Civilization anymore, the most vociferous female voices ardently defending Hamas or Hezbollah belong to Elizabeth Palmer and Debora Patta of CBS. Clarissa Ward of CNN is another female activist journalist of a different stripe.In Patta's case, she's always...

Mar 8, 2024 – There was a little bit of election drama in Maine on Super Tuesday when a SCOTUS ruling paved the way for former president Donald Trump to appear on primary ballots in spite of all the Maine Secretary of State's best efforts and most malevolent intentions.To no one's surprise and local...

Mar 8, 2024 – Suffering with whiplash as I did last night live-blogging the most frenetic, schizophrenic State of the Union it has ever been my sorry duty to cover (I only survived thanks to our commenters), one of the more memorable spastic moments - besides the assassination of Bobby Cunningham (don't ask) -...

Mar 13, 2024 – Now, right off the bat, let's establish we're not talking about Taco Bell here. Nor are we, honestly, discussing something along the lines of your favorite neighborhood tiny taqueria, which does take the time to source quality ingredients and put much love into what winds up on your plate.We are...

Mar 13, 2024 – You hate to see it...okay. I'm lying through my teeth.I expected to see it, and seeing it on a major news network makes it all the more satisfying.Not my headline, y'all. It's CNBC's.EV euphoria is dead. Automakers are scaling back or delaying their electric vehicle plans"Dead." How about that?The buzz...

Mar 7, 2024 – I don't know if you all remember the summer of 2020 the way I do, but it's still pretty vivid for many reasons. Most of those reasons have to do with the mind-blowing hypocrisy of it all smack in the middle of the destruction.How American was confined to quarters, 6...

Mar 7, 2024 – Ah, the wrap-up. As I have no idea what that was we were all just subjected to, I won't even pretend that I'm the least bit interested in doing any more in-depth analysis than what I tried to scribble out as the unfortunate event occurred. I'll leave that sort of...

Mar 13, 2024 – I have been pretty hard on clueless Army Secretary Christine Wormuth during the year and a half I've been scribbling here. When you see her as the ballerina atop the melting, gooey, sticky sundae that is the current state of the United States Army itself, you realize the decline is...

Mar 14, 2024 – And who needs the go-juice in the walls?Why, only everyone!But in the formerly Golden State, what was once a "utility" - a necessity for a comfortable life, something every household had and everyone took for granted - has become a commodity and a privilege to pay dearly for even as...

Mar 14, 2024 – It might as well be, since our TREASURY SECRETARY has no frickin' clue WHAT IT MEANS.NEW - Yellen on inflation: "I regret saying it was transitory."pic.twitter.com/zYgpGzuGS6— Disclose.tv (@disclosetv) March 13, 2024POTATUS has his best people watching out for America. His BEST.We are so boned....Yellen and others had to eat those...

Mar 14, 2024 – The chairman of the House Judiciary Committee is perturbed.The bad blood between Fulton County DA Fani Willis - publicly pugnacious prosecutorial paramour as well as pertinacious presidential pursuer - and Congressman Jim Jordan of Ohio reaches back to the beginning of last fall and has only gotten more caustic with...

Mar 15, 2024 – Personally, I've got a raging case of "Don't let the barn door hit you in the bassoon" on hearing this (Karen caught the beginning of it a couple days ago), but that's just me versus the Jew-haters.So what's happening is, there's this big festival thingie in Austin all the "with-it"...

Mar 15, 2024 – Aw, you just knew it had to happen. The gosh darn Ohio Republicans had fat, dumb (mostly dumb), and hapless Sherrod Brown ripe for picking up his senate seat and...?The big, blue foot of Fate comes out of the sky once again.There are three people running for the GOP nomination...

Mar 15, 2024 – What's this now? California Gov. Gavin Newsom on Friday postponed his State of the State address scheduled for next week, as the fate of his signature mental health initiative from the primary ballot remains uncertain.No new date was given for the speech, which had been scheduled for Monday afternoon.Hey! I could...

Mar 6, 2024 – It appears Arizona's mewling milquetoast governor, Katie Hobbs, whose gubernatorial campaign was basically built on Biden's basement-dwelling engagement strategy, is keeping those winning POTATUS formulas close and working them like nobody's business.As you probably have heard, the state of AZ shares an international border with the country of Mexico. Now,...

Mar 6, 2024 – With all the Trumpian brouhaha swirling in the airwaves, be it Fulton County Fani-tacies, Jack-ed up law Smithing, or waiting for last night's definitive cleansing of Haley's Comet, interesting developments in Biden's martial march to NetZero have been able to slide quietly under the radar.It's probably just as well for...

Mar 6, 2024 – Being a ghoul by nature and a horrified but fascinated spectator to the ongoing trainwreck that is our nation's largest city, I could not - repeat, could not - resist this story.I know most of us here have talked a time or two about the "bail reform" experiments all of...

Mar 8, 2024 – We've made such gains, haven't we?Not her. The other guy.*shudders*We've come so far in the past decades that we don't even need to be women at all...to be "women." Isn't that the wicked, coolest thing? Mind you it's not a localized movement confined to isolated, woke urban areas in G-7...

Mar 7, 2024 – In the early fall of 2016, Election Day was drawing nearer. Hillary Clinton's unending truth troubles, unlikability, and smug, smirking superiority had really started to grate on the public at large. Blustering, bombastic, barnstorming Donald Trump was pulling ever-larger masses of humans to his events and drawing blood in their...

Mar 11, 2024 – It's taken a long time, but there's been quite a shift in the face of the traditional Not In My Back Yard or NIMBY as they're affectionately known. Decades ago, the acronym was used almost exclusively to describe the upper-middle-class and wealthy Americans who would come pouring out of hilltop, island,...

Mar 11, 2024 – I saw this blurb from Ripley's, the "Believe It or Not" people, and went, "Now just WAIT A COTTON PICKIN' MOMENT..."How could they give them away if they were banned?Was Ripley's punished for violating this ban? Frog Capital (@FrogNews) March 11, 2024It wasn't so much the fact that Ripley's...

Mar 11, 2024 – Nothing like being prepared if you've got billions on the line, right?That's pretty much how the global supply chain feels at the moment.They've already had a rough year between Houthi shooties, Ukraine continuing, and droughts. Now they're looking at Joe Biden;'s reelection chances like one might watch a crippled wildebeest...

Apr 15, 2024 – I was going to write about EVs this morning, thanks to digging into the stats on the new Cadillac EV SUV. I still might later. But this news was breaking early, and as it strikes at the apex predator of the sector? I figured I'd check this out first.Elon Musk...

Apr 17, 2024 – Ah, Google.Google, Google, Google. The "don't be evil" bunch managed to accomplish quite a bit of manipulative malice before deciding a "do the right thing" rebranding was in order.The problem with Google is that the same evil, manipulative mindset still occupies the company, whatever market-tested motto it slaps on the tote...

Apr 17, 2024 – Perhaps a time-out is due? At the moment, that current model Ford truck tags in at $97,095. It is arguably money better spent once than quadrupled for a liberal arts degree in Wymmins Studies with a minor in Queer Theory and Conflict Resolution.At least you can haul things around in the...
