Jul 5, 2024 – This past Monday, a federal judge in Louisiana did something that went relatively unheralded with all the post-debate brouhaha about our vegetable-in-chief and, to a lesser extent, the SCOTUS immunity ruling which also dropped the same morning.Judge James Cain of the Western District of Lousiana put the Biden administration's pause on...

Jul 5, 2024 – It's not like they really had a choice the way their system is set up and the almost total lack of appreciable differences between the two main parties. The 'conservative' Tories had held the reins of power for 14 increasingly shaky years, the last two under the inept and effete...

Feb 26, 2025 – What's more amazing is that unlike the Biden years, when they couldn't wait to brag about their big plans...Where does Team Biden find these characters? Like the Disinfo Czar lady, this one seems like from Central Casting....— James Bovard (@JimBovard) May 6, 2022...which then turned out to be so far-fetched,...

Feb 26, 2025 – Yes, I feel like I've been banging away on the United Kingdom forever and day now.I almost wish the fledgling fascists of Labour would give me a bit of a break, and then, just when I think I'm going to get one - BOOM.They do something so appallingly awful, something...

Feb 24, 2025 – One of our favoritest movies on Earth and a holiday tradition in our house is Christmas in Connecticut, with Dennis Morgan and Barbara Stanwyck, along with an absolutely unforgettable cast backing them up. Everyone is a treasure.One of our favorite lines from the movie sprung immediately to mind when I...

Feb 24, 2025 – Yeah - if you're looking for plain-spoken, old-time American business frankness, you don't have to look any further than J.P. Morgan Chase's Jamie Dimon.I mean, he could blister a rock when he gets going. For example, the hurt he laid on his employees listening to his return-to-office rant.HOLY CRAPThis was...

Feb 25, 2025 – It's not as if the United Kingdom as it stands right now isn't a depressing enough place that the base of the cliffs of Dover shouldn't be covered with bodies flung off the ledges above.I mean, it really is a dystopian nightmare of proportions almost that bad.'Almost' being the operative...

Mar 10, 2025 – Man.Democrats are going to be wandering in the wilderness fo-EH-vah at this rate.There's this fellow named Mahmoud Khalil, who has been a busy little guy on college campuses all over New York protesting about Palestine, marching for Hamas and against Israel in what might be termed an aggressive fashion, and...

Mar 11, 2025 – The WNBA is to basketball what EVs are to cars - if you like them, great, but most people either don't or are supremely indifferent.If you watch them/want one, awesome - but the vast majority of people don't.The concept is terrific, but can it stand on its own two feet...

Mar 11, 2025 – It's getting down to crunch time for the Continuing Resolution House Speaker Mike Johnson has managed to pull together despite some pretty formidable odds within their own party - a not unusual state of affairs for us - and in the face of truly whackjob opposition.As the GOP Conference Chairwoman...

Mar 11, 2025 – Things aren't going the Democrats' way at all when it comes to Trump actions, their reactions, and what the action is on the ground.Remember all that howling about Trump and the price of eggs?I do.It was the drone of the week a while back. It still pops up every now...

Mar 11, 2025 – The nascent Trump administration is fifty-some-odd days old, so their official war on wind has just begun.But wind advocates are already seeing signs that, to borrow a phrase from doom-sayers of old, 'The end is nigh.'My hard little heart was gladdened by this sorrowful mewling.Since Trump took office, the wind...

Mar 12, 2025 – Three weeks ago, a smug, crusading lawyer-type - Rick Chavez Zbur (D-Hollywood) - who also happens to be a rising progressive California state assemblyman, slipped a few proposals into a bill for changes to the CA penal code. Specifically to Section 197, which defines what circumstances constitute certain crimes like...

Mar 12, 2025 – This whole Greenland thing has been a lot of fun since the moment it started. I mean, the way it just popped out of Trump's mouth like any one of those thousands of random musings he does on any given day.Then, it took on a life of its own, as...

Mar 12, 2025 – Europe, particularly the Brussels Brahmin crowd and the over-educated British elites now at the head of their disastrous Labour government, really can't stand Donald Trump.He's worse than the stereotypical 'cowboy' - the buckaroo they have always had such fun mocking.     The part they've never bothered with is taking time to study...

Mar 12, 2025 – This was kind of a wild Xweet to read from Charlie Gasparino this afternoon.Just got stopped in the subway by a dude in a suit who said “just so ya know all the lawyers at the @EPA got laid off I’m one of them.”— Charles Gasparino (@CGasparino) March 12, 2025All...

Mar 13, 2025 – Ah, the time-honored ceremony of the Shamrock Bowl.What a beautiful way to start the day.The time-honoured tradition of the Shamrock Bowl ceremony is an important moment to reflect upon the relationship between our two countries.Our peoples have stood side by side for a long time.Irish-America has been at the heart...

Mar 13, 2025 – For the past couple of weeks, I've been able to write some pretty cheery posts about the state of the US liquid natural gas (LNG) industry. How things have been looking up in the post-POTATUS pause era, and how the US has surged back into a global leadership role....The November...

Mar 13, 2025 – In yesterday's post about the collective - and expensive - efforts the Europeans and Britain have suddenly found themselves thrust into with Trump's election and their years of neglect as far as their own defense budgets went, I basically hit two points - predominantly money (of which they need a...

Mar 13, 2025 – I have really come to like this SlingBlade guy.Ever since his stroke, he has come back more and more like an actual human being and, compared to where he was before it, can string some sentences together that are rational, pragmatic, and sometimes poetry.And don't @ me about his support...

Mar 14, 2025 – I don't know about you, but I'm guessing you were like us here at casa de major dad around Inauguration Day - waiting to see what form the anti-Trump resistance, along with their street soldier factions, would assume to express their disappointment in the election results.Protests, fiery but peaceful? Contained...

Feb 28, 2025 – Ah, those fires.Lord, are they going to be expensive. And that's in today's dollars - not in 'down the road' dollars, after the elected California officials get done doing everything they can to make the cost projections even worse.This is so grim.Last month’s Palisades and Eaton wildfires caused between $28 billion...

Feb 28, 2025 – GAH-RRRROOOWWWLLLLLLLL!I just can't even with the massive overdose of testosterone flooding the airwaves.What the hell has come over this country and THANK GOD FOR IT.It's like brother Bingley says:I mean, to be perfectly honest, you could kind of see where it got off on the wrong foot right from the...

Feb 17, 2025 – MONDAY, MONDAYHaven't these normally arrogant and smugly complacent Euro-types had themselves a heckuva wake-up weekend?First they were knocked out of the coconut trees by the announcement that the Trump team was meeting the Russian team in Saudi Arabia about Ukraine, and no - the Europeans weren't invited.WASHINGTON, D.C. — US...

Feb 18, 2025 – As most of you know, I'm a sucker for history, so when I saw this Xweet earlier this morning...well...it was well nigh irresistible.HOLY SMOKESYes, it’s a real article. 𝐆𝐫𝐞𝐠 (@WaywardGreg) February 18, 2025I mean, it had VURT DA FURK written all over it, not the least of which was the...
