Jan 2, 2025 – It seems the president of Honduras,  Xiomara Castro, had a 'Happy New Year's' message for President-elect Trump.While it wasn't exactly the kind of sentiments you'd normally expect under the circumstances, considering what's been coming out of the female presidents of our Latin American neighbors, I'd say it was about par...

Jan 6, 2025 – Whoa.DAWG.Three days ago, when last we saw the victorious but beleaguered Austrian Freedom Party (FPO), they'd been relegated to the sidelines after taking the largest portion of votes during last fall's elections but had been frozen out of government by the other parties forming a coalition to block them....As with...

Jan 6, 2025 – Sounds pretty much like a hypothetical, right?Sure, not everyone was a calculus or physics major. Hell, I had to spell them three times just to finish the sentence.And I don't know if you've been privy to the latest kerfuffle about 'the classics' not only, say, Shakespeare or translations of The...

Jan 7, 2025 – This morning, I watched one of the most unintentionally hilarious and absolutely maddening videos I think I've ever seen.Mark Zuckerberg, lizard-like bazillionaire founder of Facebook and creator of Meta World, parked at a table earnestly addressing what's wrong with censorship online.EXCUSE ME, WHUT?!It was as if the reviled reptilian replicant...

Jan 7, 2025 – 'Return to office' (RTO) is making yet another return to the headlines. As the New Year starts, more firms announce that they are trimming back on even the three-day-a-week plans many had settled into when employees balked at RTO after COVID.JP Morgan made their announcement this morning. Being at the office...

Jan 7, 2025 – If anyone can cause an international incident without even trying, it's old 45/almost 47.In 2019, in what just may have been a case of existential presidential musing that caught on, Donald Trump mulled over, you know...buying Greenland. Everybody had a case of 'WHERE the hell did THAT come from?" But it's Trump,...

Jan 7, 2025 – It never, ever fails, does it?The virtue-signaling, smug AWFL always becomes a victim the very second that their complete incompetence, indifference, and utter hypocrisy are exposed to light.Such is the story now with Sir Keir Starmer's vile Minister for Safeguarding and Violence and Women and Girls (Yes, that's a title),...

Dec 26, 2024 – WOWSAHSThis Hatfield and McCoy feud between Brandon Johnson/Chicago Teachers Union(CTU)/Toadie School Board and now 'fired' Chief Executive Office (aka superintendent) of the Chicago Public Schools (CPS) system Pedro Martinez/newly-elected but unseated schoolboard members/taxpayers is really getting to be something.The cut-throat aspect is more Game of Thrones, while the execution is...

Dec 26, 2024 – On Monday, I wrote that the woman responsible for passing the San Diego County anti-ICE cooperation resolution and board policy, which unleashed a firestorm...At the beginning of December, I wrote a VIP piece about a pretty aggressive move the San Diego Board of Supervisors was contemplating in response to the...

Jan 3, 2025 – Clinging to power through any means necessary seems to be a European socialist/progressive imperative. For all that every last one of them across the breadth of the continent, from France to Germany to Austria, claim the mantle of 'defenders of democracy,' the second actual democracy in the form of being...

Jan 3, 2025 – Sparklers for New Year seem so quaint and old-fashioned anymore.The remnants of a simpler, more innocent time when people who lived somewhere could get together as friends and fellow countrymen and revel in the recent past while anticipating a - hopefully - bright future with the coming of December 31st.Festively...

Jan 8, 2025 – Everybody off the Net Zero/ESG boat!It sure looks like it's sinking, and the biggest rats afloat have been the first to jump off.Here I thought all these big banks were totally dedicated to a planet and climate on its last legs. You know, as in "Time is running out if...

Apr 15, 2025 – *checks notes*Yup. That's what it says right here.How bad is California’s housing crisis? A first-in-the-nation bill would let students live in cars.So...what in the wide, wide world of sports would compel someone to bring that up as a suggestion on any given campus, less mind introducing it as a legislative...

Apr 15, 2025 – There's been a growing border crisis for decades that has, again in the past few years, coinciding with the Biden administration term, taken on frightening proportions.Once again, it has to do with Mexico, but only indirectly with physical Mexicans crossing the border.It's a direct result of what they've flushed and...

Apr 15, 2025 – Holy smokes. They must really be trying to convince us they love America.I'm still not falling for it, but this is as good a shot as they'll probably ever take without spontaneously combusting on camera.Where the weepy Washington Post has this for a headline over the sad saga of Abrego...

Apr 9, 2025 – Judging by what I'm reading, I don't think they're catching on to the problem yet.What do Democrats need to do to start winning? Democratic strategists and grassroots leaders say their party has appeared stunned since President Donald Trump won the White House again. Not helping: the party’s limited ability to...

Apr 9, 2025 – Americans were never crazy about electric vehicles to begin with, certainly not in a Cabbage Patch Doll or Beanie Baby buying frenzy sort of way.For one thing, EVs were always too expensive and too impractical for an impulse purchase, which is what Americans live for when they go nuts over...

Apr 9, 2025 – I'm starting to feel like a psychic as opposed to a psycho.No sooner do I get my VIP post up about Dems telling Dems how to win again - a surefire stra-tee-gery always develops when bubble people chirp at each other - then Democrats in Arizona take Winning Suggestion Number...

Apr 16, 2025 – Oh, David Hogg - God bless his little pointy head bobbling along on a pencil neck, as it all wobbles precariously atop a sunken and concave chest cavity, with wee little stick arms and tiny fists thrusting into the air for balance.He never stops delivering the goods.Where once he was...

Apr 16, 2025 – Mutually shared antipathy isn't normally an incentive for pleasure travel, but, as there isn't a thing this greasy weasel won't try at least once, let the smarmy smiles fly.COME ON DOWN, CANADIANS - WE HATE TRUMP, TOO!The Golden State and Canada have always shared so much in common.Sure, you-know-who is...

Apr 16, 2025 – So, how I found this little nugget today was wondering what the bear-of-little-brains in charge of Chicago was up to. I mean, we haven't heard much about Mayor Brandon Johnson lately, who, last I checked, was in the middle of trying to force the Chicago school system into signing a payday...

Apr 16, 2025 – Maryland's senior United States Senator, Chris Van Hollen, certainly wears his blue heart on his sleeve. And that plane ride?It's not a threat anymore, baby.Why is a sitting US Senator referring to a Salvadorian national who had been living in America illegally since 2011, a known MS-13 gang member, as...

Apr 17, 2025 – The governor's race in Virginia to replace term-limited Glenn Youngkin is on, and the two nominees are already swinging heavy timber at each other.The Republican candidate is none other than Virginia's electrifying, battle-tested, and uber-competent Lieutenant Governor Winsome Sears. Say hello to Virginia’s Republican nominee for Governor, the fearless Winsome Sears....

Apr 14, 2025 – I haven't had one of these stories in a while to fuss over, with everything going on in the world and that's a good thing. Plus, there's the fact that the Trump administration has been cooling some serious jets on the renewable scam side of the house, so perhaps the...

Apr 14, 2025 – Keir Starmer, Prime Minister of England and he of 'Two Tier' policing fame, has yet more dishonor to heap on what is supposed to be his British plate, although that is increasingly questionable.Early in his term (back in September 2024), the PM and his ruling party introduced something called 'Respect...
