Oct 19, 2023 – So…um…OUCH. $100 billion of market cap gone in one day! $tsla pic.twitter.com/bDUplrsxL0 — Josh Young (@Josh_Young_1) October 19, 2023 Tesla had their third quarter earnings call last night and it was a tough one all-around. Screenshot Finbold News It sure seems as if Elon’s feeling the...

Oct 18, 2023 – You know, besides the obvious one. That Ian Fleming was British and every supervillain of the 21st Century had a vaguely German accent. But there’s another. It’s that these guys are really maniacal control freaks and creepy AF in real life. Fleming wouldn’t have to imagine a Le Chiffre...

Oct 18, 2023 – Thanks to HotAir member John for the heads up on this one today. I’m not sure if it was inevitable, or exasperated by the United Auto Workers continuing walkouts, but here it is. General Motors is “delaying” the opening – supposedly by a year – of their shiny new...

Oct 18, 2023 – In any public relations battle, whatever the truth might actually be, the key to winning is getting your story out and loudly FIRST. That way, even if in the right of it, the other party is playing clean-up and on defense from the get-go. No one does this better...

Oct 31, 2023 – There’s a huge chunk of good news out this afternoon for Elon Musk and his cutting edge electric vehicle company, Tesla. In a closely watched trial in California over responsibility relating to a 2019 crash, a jury decided that the autopilot on the Tesla in the accident was not...

Oct 31, 2023 – Global beverage giant Anheuser-Busch InBev, parent company of such brands as Budweiser, Corona, Stella Artois, and many other notables – including the late and unlamented Bud Light – held their earnings call last evening. And, while they did beat expectations across their international business, the dead elephant in the room...

Oct 31, 2023 – Last month, Democratic Dallas mayor Eric Johnson rattled some cages nationally when he declared the “Big D” no longer applied to him. He wasn’t referring to the “D” in Dallas, but the one in his party affiliation. As of this moment, the mayor asserted, I am a Republican....

Oct 31, 2023 – This was very interesting as I had never heard of these loans before. It sounds as if parents who availed themselves of the program in order to, as one quote said, “finance their children’s hopes and dreams” are wishing they hadn’t. Maybe should have settled for a less...

Oct 30, 2023 – The magic juice. It ebbs, it flows, sometimes it just dang shuts off. Old timers in Southern California – like we were, having lived in Orange County during the golden 80s decade thru early 90s – love to tell the youngsters of today about the times they’ve never really...

Oct 30, 2023 – I had an interesting article that dovetailed with this in the headlines yesterday. I thought it would make a good jumping off point for a discussion of the overall picture in Virginia, and how close the state’s races are. Especially as it was a local paper, from a wee, tiny...

Oct 30, 2023 – In the first place, the name of this “peace” organization – Jewish Voice for Peace – is just the saddest lie, as JVP funded and run by the WORST people. I do mean the worst. One of their biggest donor’s starts with George and ends with Soros,...

Oct 30, 2023 – Not a good few days run for the wizards of wind as far as news goes. …lemme wipe this wind green grin off my face before I continue… Hard on the heels of the EV sales collapse major automakers are dealing with, compounded by the UAW strike, the...

May 10, 2023 – There’s not much good to be said about the end of nuclear power in Germany. And the further were get from the reactors going dark, the dimmer the idea and the rationale for it looks. Take what “electric” means to the average German today, for the most basic effect....

May 10, 2023 – As the old saying goes, “timing is everything” and boy, oh, boy, if the Department of Justice and mainstream media didn’t have their watches set and synchronized today. Rep James Comer had set the stage earlier this week, when he asked the DoJ to hold off on any possible...

May 9, 2023 – I was actually looking for some different information last night when I came across this article, but after scanning it quickly for what I WAS looking for, I had to save it for a chance to Fisk it later on. The link goes to a New Orleans TV station...

May 9, 2023 – Are we SURE Mayorkas isn’t working for the other side? Because with every lie oozing out of his mouth in a Congressional interrogation that he’s on top of securing the border, his hands are under the table busy making Toobin gestures to lawmakers and hard-pressed members of the Border Patrol....

May 8, 2023 – Back in February, I had a post on the troubles the wind industry was having with excessive warranty claims. Companies who pioneers in wind turbines, like Siemens and Vestas, had noted huge losses in their quarterly profit reports because of equipment failures under warranty. Coupled with declining orders, their answer...

May 8, 2023 – For a man who likes to play an unctuous super genius in commercials when he’s pinging on more accomplished governors for unsophisticated, lo-information audiences (no doubt on the state’s dime)… …as California’s GOVERNOR, Gavin Newsom in the flesh is a walking disaster zone. Has California...

May 5, 2023 – Okay, ONE of the things wrong with Chicago. Day before yesterday, 12-16 Cook County Sheriff and Chicago Police Department cars booked on down to the Godfrey Hotel at Huron and LaSalle. Caused quite a ruckus… Most of the Sheriffs at LaSalle/Huron have cleared out. They were surrounding this crimson...

May 5, 2023 – Well…my goodness. Never did I think I would see so many corporations trying to out-woke each other (including the U.S. Navy) by following one daffy fake woman and her beercan portraiture off a cultural and sometimes financial cliff. It’s almost as if the woke trans advertising disease, while...

May 4, 2023 – You learn a lot on Twitter about banking, and it’s fascinating. Simple stuff to start, like if Jim Cramer says “This is the GREATEST [fill in the blank]!!!” I now know to giggle and run the other way as fast as I can. If I had any money, that...

May 4, 2023 – Wow — Elon Musk (@elonmusk) May 4, 2023 With something this draconian, this beyond all comprehension, I guess “Wow” is about all you can say, huh? Holy smokes. But it’s for real. The European Commission on Tuesday said it had approved...

May 3, 2023 – True confession time. We have known each other now for what, like, eight months? I feel I can come clean about certain aspects of my life, and one of them is watching a network evening news broadcast. We always have, and probably always will. There. That filthy secret is...

May 3, 2023 – Holy smokes, this has the makings of a Comedy Central special the likes of which we’ve never seen. Thanks to a heads up from my little brother Mr. Bingley, I learned that our loopy mistress of word salad, Vice President of the United States Kamala Harris (again, we’re SO proud),...

May 2, 2023 – Stumbled across a serious – meant literally and figuratively – piece of racist dogma claptrap today. I’ve tried to read it four times, and my eyes glaze over, but WHERE it was published keeps me at it. Seriously – The New England Journal of Medicine. As academic medicine begins...
