May 2, 2023 – In the annals of pretty awful and incendiary ideas, I think this may rank right up there with giving people room to destroy. For the reportedly savvy (but tiny) readership The New Republic boasts about in its glossy media kit, this should be a bridge too far, but then again,...

May 1, 2023 – For a country that has spent a good portion of its existence with a boot on its throat, you’d think the Irish would be a bit more particular about the concept of “freedom”: which constituted the same, what measures impede or crush it, and thereby do everything in their power...

May 1, 2023 – When Ryan Zincke rode into office as Interior Secretary in 2017, one of the first things he did when he slid out of the saddle was revoking an Obama administration rule banning the use of lead ammunition and tackle for hunting on federal lands. New U.S. Interior Secretary Ryan...

May 19, 2023 – If you answered “California’s high speed rail line to nowhere” you win an evening with Nancy Pelosi!! AP Photo/Carolyn Kaster Okay. That was blatantly false. She’d never agree to that and I shouldn’t have teased you with even the possibility – get your hopes up and all. But you...

May 19, 2023 – Feeling pret-tee smug right now about my home state, yes sirree, Bob. And not for the first time, either. But in the middle of some pretty wretched economic numbers and an absolutely abysmal administration doing it’s best to sink the country in a morass of fiscal distress and racial...

May 19, 2023 – To borrow a phrase from The 5th Dimension’s hit Aquarius, when you “let the sun shine in,” sometimes it warms the cat on the windowsill, charges the solar panels on the roof, and helps the potted palms grow. Other times, its illumination of things you’d rather keep tucked away turns...

May 18, 2023 – This sounds fun. Two weeks ago, the New York State legislature and the state’s looney tunes chief executive, Governor Kathy Hochul, got together to hammer out a final budget deal for the year. With everything else that goes on during those sorts of negotiations, they still found time to...

May 18, 2023 – Big doings this time, and so far we’re not hearing it has anything to do with lifting ladies’ bags from an airport carousel, but news is still coming out. Sam Brinton, former Biden deputy assistant secretary of Spent Fuel and Waste Disposition in the Office of Nuclear Energy and...

May 18, 2023 – Alright, alright – I’ll admit it. The very second I heard this yesterday – without hearing “who” – I knew exactly who was involved and my eyeballs involuntarily rolled so far back in my head, I had to scoop them back to the front with two serrated grapefruit spoons....

May 17, 2023 – If folks who had the means hadn’t left Chi-Town yet, get ready for the tax base to bleed my friends. Gooderer and harderer doesn’t begin to cover the good times they’ve voted in for themselves. The new Chicago mayor, long-time teachers’ union hack Brandon Johnson, had already raised...

May 17, 2023 – Honestly, no one asked me, but I’m telling you anyway. Sports Illustrated used to be something in its heyday. A weekly mailbox arrival that Hubs meticulously dug through and I occasionally perused because the feature writing was that good. In fact, it was in SI almost 33 years ago...

May 16, 2023 – Another sort of talking out-of-one-side-of-the-mouth while doing something entirely different example today. We’ve been keeping abreast of the lay-offs in the tech sector here as part of our watching the Biden economy teeter and totter precipitously, and there has been quite an adjustment in those overall numbers since last...

May 16, 2023 – If there is one thing the Durham report should do – of course I know it won’t, but I’m eternally optimistic – it should put the final nail in the coffin of the “Legend of Hillary Clinton’s Martyrdom.” She is neither a martyr, an honest broker, a perpetual victim of...

May 15, 2023 – You can probably hear the cracks forming in hardened leftist bastions throughout institutions of higher learning from here. WATCH — @realchrisrufo celebrates Governor DeSantis’ ELIMINATION of DEI. “This legislation will immediately abolish all of those programs. DONE.” pic.twitter.com/mMFMLcbyJr — DeSantis War Room 🐊 (@DeSantisWarRoom) May 15, 2023...

May 15, 2023 – The subject of this outrage actually aired 2 years ago, on May 28, 2021. I’m assuming it was a Memorial Day weekend tie-in, because here in Pensacola, not only it it a sacred weekend for us being a hard-core military town as well as proud home of The Wall South,...

May 12, 2023 – Let’s just get the obligatory guilt trip out of the way before we even get going, shall we? Ritual cleansing, as it were. HOW DARE WE?! AP Photo/Jason DeCrow Okay. Now that’s over, let’s get to the good stuff. Contrary to the absolute dolt running the Treasury Department...

May 12, 2023 – We’ve been cataloguing the woes, trials and self-inflicted tribulations of San Francisco pretty routinely here. John had a great piece just Wednesday on their very real Doom Loop and I’ve done several myself, mostly concerning the state of their commercial real estate collapse, but there’s, sadly, a lot of material...

May 11, 2023 – Let’s just clear the air right from the beginning and settle the matter – by the definition laid down by the Democratic Party and their Progressive masters, the people you will read about and see in the following posts are racists, pure and simple. I don’t care what you’ve heard...

May 11, 2023 – Why do we even have a Constitution? Has anyone asked a Democrat that lately? The general mode of operation with them in power has been to have a great, transformative idea no one in the country but them wants, sidestep every legal and constitutional avenue for implementing –...

May 30, 2023 – Brandon Johnson, teachers’ union tool, anti-law enforcement advocate and left wing lifer extraordinaire, took the mayoral reins of the City of Chicago on the 24th of May. His inaugural address left some of his new constituents smoking mad. …Though it was a patently absurd to depict a...

May 30, 2023 – About a month ago, with the possibility of having to nurse Ebola (who is in Germany) after a pretty invasive sinus surgery coming up this summer, I started looking for tickets. I was resigned to the fact that there was no way I was to ever going to beat my...

May 30, 2023 – It wasn’t just Spanish boaters feeling blindsided and rudely attacked this past week. Like the yachts sailing through the Straights of Gibraltar who ran into orcas with attitudes schooled in the arts of maritime destruction by a she-whale named White Gladis, the ruling Spanish Socialist Workers’ Party (PSOE) –...

May 29, 2023 – The first time I ever set eyes on John Perry, he was about an hour old and his proud dad was pointing out his squished red face to me through the maternity ward’s glass window. Even being born he’d managed to cause excitement. A really sharp delivery nurse noticed...

May 26, 2023 – Once upon a time, in a formerly gorgeous city known as San Francisco, in the formerly bucolic state of golden dreams know as California, there existed a race of humans – almost a tribe – now recognized by archeologists and anthropologists as “The Normal People.” As evolution sometimes...

May 26, 2023 – Because, you know – all that stuff about faux-women being inherently stronger by virtue of physiology is only so much bigotry, you TRANSPHOBE BIGOTY TYPES. You couldn’t write a better summation of the Woke Era if you tried. It’s beautiful. Absolutely perfect in every way. Thank you, @espiers....
