Feb 22, 2023 – I will admit I’m coming at this from an outsider’s perspective. Yes, I’ve served on a grand jury before – here in NWFL – but I am constantly bemused by how differently we must handle our grand juries than most of the rest of the country. Here we’re chosen...

Feb 21, 2023 – The lay-offs in the tech industry have been pretty constant since the beginning of last fall, as we’ve posted about a number of times. The cut-backs in benefits for those still employed have also rippled through the industry, and come as a rude shock to many used to the high-flying,...

Feb 21, 2023 – Ten days ago, at their bishops’ General Synod, the Church of England voted to bless same-sex unions. Church of England priests will be permitted to bless the civil marriages of same-sex couples in a profound shift in the church’s stance on homosexuality after a historic vote by its...

Feb 20, 2023 – Talk about words to shiver your timbers. They would have been fighting words even ten years ago, but right now? One can speak them and not even have to duck, so tenuous is the state of our country and its military. When the world moves closer every day...

Feb 20, 2023 – I’m asking this for a very good reason, born of frustration, but it’s no doubt just more shaking an angry fist at the sky for all the good it does asking. When you look at the vast swath of people who have been targeted for cancellation, overwhelmingly it’s...

Oct 27, 2023 – I know you all have been wondering what happened to our Princess of Peeve (interviewed here with co-star Gal Gadot), our winsome wordsmith of Woke wisdom – smug Disney Snow White come to life, Rachel Zegler. 🚨 REPORT: Disney delays the release of their woke Snow White remake until 2025…...

Oct 27, 2023 – Holy SMOKES, this is a thing of schadenfreudlig beauty. Poor entitled, not-overly-bright, Jew-hating Harvard students are having a hard time coming to grips with the big, fuzzy, wet camel’s nose of reality bustin’ through the side of their privilege tent. They thought those walls were sacrosanct and like BatFink’s...

Oct 27, 2023 – There are “firsts” and then there are “FIRSTS,” if you get my drift. “FIRSTS” used to be such rare and obvious-to-a-blind-man events that our vegetable-in-chief, during even a less lucid moment, could automatically deem one a BFD (Big Effin’ Deal) without prompting or notecard. Unfortunately for us,...

Oct 26, 2023 – There was an interesting – and frankly tres concerning – development a little over a month ago that I noticed and saved, but didn’t have time to get to. Then, boom – here we are on the precipice of what could turn into something truly ugly and it takes...

Oct 26, 2023 – The first obstacle for any product is building a customer base. Getting their product into the hands of enough satisfied people who help drive demand for more of your widget, whatever it may be. If your widget has a practical application to everyday life, and does some aspect of...

Oct 26, 2023 – What a morning. First off, we’ll get a big number out of the way, because a ton of it is smoke and mirrors anyhow. The third quarter GDP came in at booming 4.9%, which, under any other circumstances and any other administration, would have people popping corks. But...

Oct 25, 2023 – Honestly. These little Nazi/fascist/Jew-hating/terrorist sympathizing groups are getting a teensy bit tedious, aren’t they? It’s like they can’t stand watching someone else get all the bad – and I do mean BAD press. So they’re scrambling like mad to schedule their own version of a massive adult temper tantrum and...

Oct 25, 2023 – This week is always difficult for Marines. The memory of the Beirut bombing is one of those sores that never heals. It’s a betrayal that you never fully learn to deal with if you were active duty when it happened. You keep the memory alive both to honor your fallen...

Oct 25, 2023 – This wasn’t exactly a “hold my beer, Harvard” moment from the Jew-hating vermin infesting George Washington University. They’re not clever enough nor bold enough for that, although they do enjoy plenty of privilege in their own right. Nah. They were merely indulging their worst instincts and displaying them...

Oct 24, 2023 – The circle jerk that is the race to be Speaker of the House has taken yet another twist. As of this morning’s double-double super secret balloting among Congressional Republicans, out of the 7 candidates who made themselves available, House Majority Whip Tom Emmer (R-MN) found himself victorious on the...

Oct 24, 2023 – Maybe the times, they are a’ changin’. As with so many aspects of life in these United States one wouldn’t ordinarily want doing so, the crime statistics for the nation’s capital are going nowhere but up. …Meanwhile, the District is reporting year-over-year spikes in homicides (up 33%), robberies (up...

Oct 24, 2023 – Once upon a time, there was a hallowed aura about even the word, “Harvard.” People might kind of snicker at replicating that atrocious, grating Massachusetts accent while saying it, but it was still “Harvard.” And you weren’t getting anywhere near it. It was one of those...

Oct 23, 2023 – Our isolated bases in the Syrian desert and oil fields at al-Omar and al-Tanf seem to be having a bad time of it tonight if current reports are true, and the commander in chief’s sudden interruption of a press briefing is any indication. Joe Biden breaks speech to head...

Oct 23, 2023 – The tie that binds? Voters are tired of “immigrants.” Germany is having a real time of it lately. Besides the Greens getting shellacked over bankrupting their citizenry while driving the country into the Dark Ages – and I do mean dark – one of the most cherished aspirational goals...

Oct 23, 2023 – THEY CAME IN PEACE The local residents have been slaughtering each other for centuries on that little slice of Mediterranean coastline from Lebanon to Gaza. This killing spree was no different, except, this time, the United States Marines were sent in. Not as avenging angels, but to keep the...

Oct 20, 2023 – Holy smokes. We had a feeling there was going to be some backstory to this when it happened. No one in their right mind – even if they’re described as a little slow – hot foots it over the border to North Korea unless there are desperate reasons why. It’s...

Oct 20, 2023 – Here at HotAir, we’ve covered California’s rapidly deteriorating quality of life on a pretty regular basis. San Francisco is always ripe for post material plundering, with its off-the-wall, no-holds-barred brand of insane progressivism destroying the city in real time. Every day, when the Standard or Chronicle email hits my inbox,...

Oct 20, 2023 – Among the odds and ends of the newsletters I get, there’s a pretty neat little agricultural one that shows up a couple times a week. I subscribed mostly for the information on poultry, both for background for posts here and big dreams of maybe someday having a couple chickens in...

Oct 19, 2023 – As if things weren’t peachy enough in Scotland, with wind farms, skyrocketing electricity prices, mandating heat pumps and forced upgrading of the insulation in your wee crofter’s cottage. The list is long and ignominious of what humiliations, disgraces, and suffering the Scottish Nationalist Party (SNP) has subjected their citizens to....

Oct 19, 2023 – I hope everyone who hooted and hollered about the brilliance of the Ukrainians using drones against Russian troops and assets will find it in themselves to experience a sober moment of reflection. And prayer. Because it’s our kids in uniform – in incredibly remote, unfriendly places – now...
