Dec 18, 2024 – POTATUS and his minions have been on a spending tear as the days count down to them vacating offices and reserved parking spaces.On a world stage, there have been promises of whatever it takes to 'rebuild Syria' and big fat checks handed to Africa for dealing with 'environmental disasters,' which,...

Dec 18, 2024 – It seems as if the Denver, Colorado suburb of Aurora has finally worked its convulsive way through all the stages of grief about the uninvited guests the city council, to their credit, did make an effort to keep out of town.Illegals imported by the Biden administration foisted on unhappy blue...

Dec 18, 2024 – OMG. What a crap sammich.Ed's already gone through the appalling nerve of Dicky Durbin trying to boost his pay like he was a UAW or UPS worker or something.I hate to break it to you, Senator - but there is sympathy in America when the unions start squawking. Those guys...

Dec 20, 2024 – What is it lately with these kids attending Virginia colleges that have "George" somewhere in the name?Some malevolent mutant form of revolutionary virus must be on the door handles or backstroking through the water because these kiddies, for all that the formerly revered institutions they attend are pricey, seem to...

Dec 20, 2024 – I can't keep up with the okays and giveaways blasting out of the White House in the waning days of the faux presidency. Whoever is making the decisions is doing so at breakneck speed, with zero heed to dollars and sense (and I mean that just as I wrote, so...

Jan 6, 2025 – It keeps the filthy hoi polloi from hogging and clogging the streets when important people have to be somewhere.But it's actually not about convenience for the brahmins of the country - no, no, no.It's about saving the earth, and getting the little people to pay for it. New York’s new toll...

Jan 6, 2025 – I think I'm getting a clearer picture now. It's one of those clarifying moments where a sudden fog lifts, it's easy to focus and OMG.Keir Starmer's Labour Party is working overtime to return the British working class to a feudal society. Two-Tier Keir's edicts, regulations, and prejudicial dispensing of justice...

Dec 16, 2024 – John was on it when it happened this afternoon.Jeez Louise. It is so ghastly.The horror of a mass school shooting struck the Madison area for the second time in seven months on Monday, when police say a teenager shot eight people before taking their own life at a private Christian...

Dec 16, 2024 – Welp.Everyone's best guess was correct. Scholz lost the no-confidence vote today...Good Morning from Germany, where the parliament cleared the way for an early election on Feb. 23, seven months earlier than scheduled: In the vote on the vote of confidence, 207 MPs voted for Scholz, 394 against him, and 116...

Dec 17, 2024 – I haven't done a good Green Weenie protest story in a while, and this one has all the elements of a classic.Villains! Virtue Signaling Trendy Young Things! Protests! Arrests! Surprise Ending! All I need is the guy who does the voice-overs for movie trailers, but I can't afford that based on...

Dec 16, 2024 – In this instance, I don't mean being able to find their way out of a paper bag without celestial aids for navigation because it's patently obvious they can't. The exact opposite.I am using 'dead' in the literal sense - deceased, departed, expired, gone, stinks in the sink after 72 hours, aka...

Dec 31, 2024 – When the news broke Sunday that former President Jimmy Carter had passed away, I immediately popped that into the headline section. The death of a former US president is always instantly noteworthy, no matter where you come down on his time in office. Condolences to his family are the appropriate...

Dec 31, 2024 – Keir Starmer took over as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom in July of this past year, and by this fall, he and his party were already cause for derisive hoots or just disgusted spitting noises made when their names were mentioned, so quickly and badly had the entire Labour...

Dec 31, 2024 – Something you could almost set your watch by, no?Death, taxes, Democrats navel gazing...and the Puerto Rican electrical grid being totally afu.There are simply constants in this world that never, ever change, and Puerto Rico in the dark is one of them....In Puerto Rico, where the so-called “national electric grid” has...

Kanthan (@Kanthan2030) March 21, 2024And then, like, it wasn't.GULPWoah! $AAPL saw a 47% plunge in mainland China sales in...

Jan 10, 2025 – Honestly, with everything happening in the United States this fall, election-wise, and watching Keir Starmer stumble headlong into 'most rapidly despised Prime Minister in history' territory, I'd completely spaced this particular October sin of his.And a most unwelcome, sprung-out-of-nowhere sin it was.No Time Like the Present for the UK to Give...

Jan 16, 2025 – I think there's one thing we can all agree on: for a teacher (granted of very short tenure), Chicago's mayor, Brandon Johnson, is a very, very slow learner.He seems the sort of bear-of-little-brain who stumbles through life and survives only by being a useful tool to others. The fragile and...

Jan 16, 2025 – Years ago (okay, okay - 2005, so it was decades, dammit), when Bingley and I originally got into blogging, one of our more memorable innerwebs contretemps started thanks to my disgusted bemusement at the sense of entitlement displayed by younger people entering the job market.At the time (circa 2011), we...

Jan 16, 2025 – Here we go, yet another post in the long-running saga of 'how Green energy killed the mighty German industrial complex.'I've done tons of posts about them since I've been here and they only get more dire. Now that Germany is headed into an election on February 15th, even more scrutiny...

Jan 16, 2025 – Holy smokes - this falls under the DON'T TEASE ME - I know Trump was serious about hatin' the heck out of these things. He's certainly said so plainly enough.Trump is laying some truth out about Off Shore Wind!We the people, do not want these hulking, wasteful, expensive, not clean/green, tax payer...

Jan 20, 2025 – I'd almost say they're torn between their sad-sack antecedents and a sense of...dare I say it? Irrational exuberance at the thought of what's possible.Their live updates coverage of the inauguration has a headline link is flat-out hilarious when you just read it on its face.I mean, think about it -...

Jan 21, 2025 – God bless America. This president of ours is something. Yeah, he makes a lot of noise and says what seems - to a world used to the polite pablum of diplomatic argle-bargle - to be some pretty outrageous stuff. Even jarring to the ear at times, it can be so bombastic....

Jan 21, 2025 – The Lava Ridge Wind project in Idaho has been a thorn in Idaho's sides locally for quite some time. Last June, I told you all about how the Bureau of Land Management had, once the developer's plans were approved, closed the required 90-day public comment period with a 'thank you...

Jan 21, 2025 – There are a lot of angry people right now on that island - a lot of angry BRITISH people.Their feckless, malevolent Prime Minister, Sir Keir Starmer - he of the 'Two Tiers' of justice, betraying of violated working-class children, and sender of old pensioners to ice floes - has just...

Jan 21, 2025 – This morning was a good morning, especially for this country. Besides having someone in the White House who's all about this country, his team is rock solid and moving into place.The first one officially onboard is someone I've known for a long time and always thought was meant to do...
