While...

Oct 3, 2024 – In this world, there have been "giveaways"  - like Oprah with her cars for you and you and YOU!!And then there have been "giveaways," or "givebacks' like, says, the Panama Canal. Or Bagram.Sometimes they work out okay, sometimes they don't. The reason and motivation behind the return is one thing - is...

Oct 4, 2024 – All they need to do is raise a Tiberian arch - or create one with a couple of cranes and honkin' huge American flags - to finish setting the stage for a truly amazing moment.The symbolism is overwhelming and so powerful.HOLY CRAPBUTLER ON SATURDAY—HISTORIC! pic.twitter.com/S8WhiNdWph— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) October...

Oct 4, 2024 – The wrath of Hurricane Helene and the path of utter, unimaginable suffering and destruction left in her stormy wake is going to be with us for years upon years.What will also, hopefully, never be forgotten is the Biden-HARRIS regime's complete incompetence in preparing for the storm and handling even the...

Oct 4, 2024 – It's been a while since I've had to write one of these things, and I am not happy about this now. This is especially maddening as it furthers the ruinous renewable fever dreams of rodential New Jersey governor Phil Murphy.GGGRRRRRRFeds approve construction of the 2.8 GW Atlantic Shores wind farm...

Oct 7, 2024 – This chica, I have to admit, is an amazing spectacle of raw, naked panic, and watching her meltdown is just a sight to behold.Elissa Slotkin is a Dem representative from Michigan who decided to make a jump up this year and run for the Senate.She may well have been wise...

Oct 7, 2024 – So, forgive me if I spend a second missing the bygone days of 60 Minutes - Rather, Reasoner, Bob Simon - guys like that. Yeah, yeah, yeah - they still had agendas, but plenty of the show was worth watching, the production values were top-notch, and, honestly, some episodes were downright poetic.Some...

Oct 8, 2024 – And a Happy Tuesday to you!Besides yet another self-immolation - not on the sidewalk outside the White House, thank God, but Harris on national TV  - it turns out another of the World Economic Forum's most prized objectives just got a teensy bit further out of their dystopian, grasping claws. What...

Oct 8, 2024 – All I know is that Brandon Johnson is the Mayor of Crazytown and is doing his best to prove it with every whackjob word that comes out of his mouth.He's been on a roll.Now, to start, there's some sort of massive feud simmering between the Chicago Board of Education (snort)...

Oct 8, 2024 – Man! What a difference a bitter internecine war among former besties can make, even in the face of an impending horrific event.David went into detail this morning about how Kamala's off-the-cuff and, frankly, really bizarre-o attack on DeSantis phone protocol during natural disaster prep left people scratching their heads. As Hurricane Milton barrels...

Oct 9, 2024 – The state of reliable energy in Europe reminds me of the old HeeHaw song, only in real life and self-induced.Once the industrial and economic engine of Europe and the bully power that drove European Union policy, the Germans have now fallen on harder times than even simpler, smaller neighbors like Italy. Most...

Jul 29, 2024 – Oh, I gotcha now, don't I?I'm not pulling your leg, either.It's the start of a new week in America after a rock 'em, sock 'em a couple of political shock-to-the-system weeks, iced by the French just pooping all over DaVinci, the New Testament, and every Christian on Earth.Crazytown.The last thing...

Jul 29, 2024 – This is so classically Panhandle sleazy - I can't stand it.Now, I will admit to knowing all the players personally, having helped out the GOP locally since McCain's campaign, then ran the county team (which was...me) for Rubio's original guerilla senate campaign and, by the time of Trump's election, social-climbed...

Jul 29, 2024 – There's a lot to unpack here. Most of the origins of what's unfolding now are self-induced misery, including some related breaking news happening in the United Kingdom, even as I am trying to get this post put together.The two main problems that are blatantly obvious and completely ignored through all...

Jul 26, 2024 – I think we all had a pretty fair inkling that things in Paris during the Olympics were going to be spicy. Considering how the French street demonstrations go anytime their Left, anarchists, unions, or [Beege adds:] their hefty Islamic immigrant population melts down in a tantrum, we would be perfectly...

Jul 26, 2024 – Things are grim in the automotive industry right now.First off, there's a reason I didn't put this story under my usual #Bidenomics Update, even though it has many components that are attributable to the brilliant Biden economic machinations that have brought us so many of our current difficulties. Not to...

Jul 26, 2024 – The effort to rehabilitate Kamala Harris is not the only memory holing being done on the Democratic side. And by "Democratic side," I'm not referring to their compliant press or media toadies or fawning mouthpieces in Hollywood on TikTok.No, nope, nyet.The official Democratic Party is utterly beclowning itself, pretending what...

Jul 30, 2024 – UNEXPECTEDLYThere's that "U" word, and no one is more surprised than Olaf Scholz and his Green cultists.The Germans had such hopes for eking out a teensy gain this quarter. Output in Europe's biggest economy contracted by 0.1 percent compared with the previous three months, federal statistics office Destatis said, after expanding...

Aug 9, 2024 – As you can imagine, given my widely varied interests, I get a pretty weird assortment of daily newsletters every morning when I open my Gmail. Some of them come several times a day, and I can't keep up with the inflow, so I'd normally delete them after a quick glance...

Aug 9, 2024 – It's kind of wild to feel more worried about your kid's well-being when he's stationed in England than when he was in Bagram or Djibouti.At least in either of those two places, he could still say anything he wanted, defend himself immediately, and shoot back if he had to.But being...

Aug 9, 2024 – I am a little behind the curve and late to the party on the brouhaha happening over Harley-Davidson. It seems their chairman, president and CEO since 2020, a fellow named Jochen Zeitz, is a fervent DEI enthusiast. Many of his initiatives at the company have only recently come to light...

Jul 30, 2024 – Let's just set the bottom line here before we go any further. As of February's state budget planning for 2024-25, the formerly golden paradise on the West Coast of the United States known as California is in a financial chasm (aka deficit) of something approaching seventy-three billion - with a...

Jul 31, 2024 – You thought it had slipped my mind in all the chaos and to-do, right?Hah! Fat chance.Two weeks ago, Green fever dreams began washing ashore in chunks and shards on the pristine beaches of Nantucket Island after the catastrophic failure of a brand new offshore wind turbine blade. And it was only...

Aug 1, 2024 – WHUTTruly, this is how you have to react when first you read this headline.California lawmakers debate sending local health inspectors inside immigration facilitiesHow is there a debate about something like this? I'm really curious. The California Department of Health inspects private nursing homes. Local health departments inspect restaurants. The state Department...

Aug 1, 2024 – Welp. It was a downer of a day on Wall Street, and the luster has started to wear thin on Jerome Powell's silver dome. Analysts and traders are seriously concerned that the Fed's waited too long to loosen its grip, and we're gonna be coming in with a thump vice...
