Feb 14, 2025 – For once, we don't have to thank the DOGE team for cracking open this can of worms, but I just wanted to say it sure seems as if the cabinet members and department heads Trump nominated are worth every blessed penny and bloody nose it took to get them confirmed,...

Feb 14, 2025 – It's funny how so many disjointed things I notice that of kind of all seem to come together somewhere in time.If you're wondering where some of my posts spring from, yeah. The off-the-wall - it's mostly me. But it's also that I tend to follow 'signs,' if you will.If something...

Feb 14, 2025 – I was saving the best for last.Thirty-two years together and you still take my breath away. Happy Valentine’s Day, @MichelleObama! pic.twitter.com/wiIJ0kstRm— Barack Obama (@BarackObama) February 14, 2025Those two crazy kids.Sets your heart all a' twitter doesn't it?Sadly, the Clintons didn't pose for a picture this year. Pity, that.But I sure...

May 26, 2025 – Oh, this is ghastly.And Lord almighty - what a classic British police statement.Police are responding to an incident near the Liverpool Football Club parade after a car collided with several pedestrians.The incident happened as thousands of fans lined the streets of the city to celebrate Liverpool's Premier League title victory.A...

May 27, 2025 – Such happy little authoritative Malthusians.The living, breathing adherents and practitioners of the ideology are particularly interesting in localities and states where, for some reason known only to God, they've managed to accrue power and wield it with a fierce, unmerciful intensity over their increasingly helpless peasant flock.Conditions are especially egregious...

May 27, 2025 – In some cases, it has to do with the continuing Democratic and progressive fever dreams.David Hogg, he of the sunken chest and tiny stick arms, now being recast as a New Age masculine beacon. Charged with leading young males back, Moses-like, into the bosom of a party that still openly...

May 12, 2025 – Just a hair over a week ago (ten days to be exact), an official arm of the German government declared the populist Alternative for Germany (AfD) party - now polling as Germany's most popular party in the country - a 'right-wing extremist' group.Yeah, right - so big deal, no? I...

May 12, 2025 – President Trump's announcement yesterday concerning prescription drug prices was pretty interesting, and sure to start a big debate, as Ed noted in his take apart of it earlier this morning.Is this a return to Nixonian price controls? Or is this an effort to enforce equitable trade policy and fairness in...

May 14, 2025 – This really was the most amazing Xweet to read this morning, in a morning of amazing things to read.The Prime Minister of England, Keir Starmer, has seemingly awoken from a year-long slumber only to find himself - and his once fair isle - surrounded by thousands of tiny boats packed...

May 14, 2025 – Mean old Marines. At least that's the impression you get from the headline the communists at Military.com put on their story.A Woman Drove into a San Diego Military Facility by Mistake. She Now Faces Deportation.Aw, jeez. Well, sometimes life just comes at you the wrong way.The 'military installation' in question...

May 14, 2025 – This is the kind of update, ooooh, don't I just lurves me to be able to write.You know - as opposed to 'Starmer locked up another Granny' or 'Merz's polizei raided another AfD supporter's home' or 'car rams festival crowd in [insert European city]'.This is a good one for all...

May 16, 2025 – Wu, hoo! The feisty staff helping progressive firebrand and Boston Mayor Michelle Wu destroy the city sure looks like they've been taking all that pent-up aggression home with them and duking it out after hours for stress relief.Now, to be fair, Mayor Wu is known for having an eclectic governing style,...

May 16, 2025 – The 'they' in 'they're' being the FBI, and no one was more surprised to hear the news than Deputy Director Dan Bongino.YOU JUST GAVE UP A BIG NUGGET THEREThe two FBI honchos were on Maria Bartiromo's show for an interview this morning, and Patel was detailing his plans to start...

May 2, 2025 – There was a big interim election in England yesterday. It really can be framed as the first solid referendum on Keir Starmer's Labour government, much as our midterms are for any sitting administration here.In the short time Labour has held power - I don't believe it's even quite at the...

May 2, 2025 – I haven't done anything in a long time about worthless people whom no one cares about other than to watch their self-imposed slow motion train wreck and comment sagely on it...so here I am today.Litigious British Prince Harry, the ne'er-do-well Duke of Montecito, and still fifth in line to the...

May 2, 2025 – I spent a few moments this morning feeling a little burst of renewed optimism that things were going to be okay.That, economically, we were settling down and strong enough to ride this tariff and trade roller coaster out.I mean, the jobs report came in pretty darn encouraging - a bigger...

May 30, 2025 – At the beginning of the year, I wrote about a really awful kidnapping incident that happened in France, where a gang of somewhere between 20 and 40 thugs burst into the country home of a crypto firm's founder. Insult to injury, the fellow didn't even work there anymore, but no...

May 7, 2025 – For old times' sake, let's do a quick flashback to only a year ago, when stalwart local independent Seattle journalist Jonathan Choe was documenting the goings-on at the University of Washington's Seattle campus.The Hamasholes, much as they were on campuses across the country, had set up little tents and were...

May 7, 2025 – Bingley sent me this interesting little email he got yesterday.Seemed noteworthy at the time, but there wasn't a lot of information besides what was actually IN the announcement itself.The government's Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) regulates the commodities and derivatives markets. Their mission statement...The mission of the Commodity Futures Trading...

May 8, 2025 – Wow.Whatever the ongoing consequences of India unleashing its missiles on Pakistani terror encampments the night before last - things either chill out or escalate - word has broken this morning of a true service to humanity they performed by knowing exactly where to rain down hell for revenge.It’s worth noting...

May 8, 2025 – Blue cities sure love their taxes, and they collect them like Daffy Duck clambering up the side of the pile of gold in Aladdin's Cave, screaming 'MINE, MINE, MINE!'   What's yours is theirs, theirs, theirs. And they tax it all - everything they can - even if you're only there for an...

May 5, 2025 – Even against the finest machinations the political establishment can produce, sometimes those cranky, knuckling-dragging peasants still do the exact opposite of what the end result was meant to be.Romania is starting to look like a classic example of overcooking the goose, because, however well-meaning or even honest the intentions of...

May 5, 2025 – I tell you what - if there were ever two hateful, whining, privileged chicks on the face of this Earth that I would love to tell be able to tell 'Shove a sock in it' just once personally to, it would be Michelle Obama and icky Ilhan Omar.I am so...

May 5, 2025 – The skies over northern California have been filled with toxic smoke of one description or another this past year, from lithium-ion storage facilities to now an oil refinery fire that has just erupted this morning. I read a Xweet earlier that said the area was 'snakebit,' and you could certainly look...
