Aug 11, 2026 – Holy smokes. As if finally making it to the Colombian presidency in one piece and alive wasn't enough of an adventure for newly inaugurated President Abelardo de la Espriella, how about an earthquake just three days later and a major temblor at that?A honkin' 7.4 on the Richter scale hit the...

Aug 13, 2026 – One thing I'll give this 'drill, baby, drill' administration - they don't take 'no' for an answer.President Trump and Energy Secretary Chris Wright have thrown all their muscle into getting the U.S. on track for complete energy independence and as close to world dominance in the export market as possible....

Aug 13, 2026 – This isn't much of a shift in the California governor's race, but it absolutely is one. Xavier Becerra has dropped some percentage points, and while the only up move was tiny, it's in Republican Steve Hilton's favor. All of that means there's been measurable shrinkage of the Democrat's lead.Democratic gubernatorial...

Aug 13, 2026 – By golly, if this don't beat all....Mejia introduced Dona Margarita Cielo Balbuena of Dover, who spent two months in harsh conditions at the Elizabeth Detention Center after what Balbuena described as a violent arrest....Balbuena, a diminutive figure who barely cleared the podium, spoke with emotion as she described the May 23...

Aug 20, 2026 – California is one never-ending well of unpleasant surprises as far as what their elected and unelected state officials are willing - and legally able - to do to their captive populace to make life there just a teensy bit more excruciating.This week it was regulating what tires they'll be able...

Jul 31, 2026 – She's 'not safe' because she's also Jewish.Holy schamoly.That's what the Hamas wing has brought the Democratic Party to in this day and age. That a senior member and one of the highest-ranking elected officials in the state - in fact, the chief law enforcement officer of Michigan - cannot attend her own...

Jul 31, 2026 – Well, this IS a dreary note to end the weekend on, but it's just another railroad spike in the putrid carcass of Sir Keir Starmer's legacy as Prime Minister.Mercifully brief as his time was, the damage done was already inestimable with what was visible, and I can only...okay, I'd rather...

Aug 6, 2026 – This was a big one. The settlement terms have been finalized, and I can only wish it had come so much sooner. How many little ruined lives would have been saved if it had?Texas Children’s Hospital has three months to create the nation’s first clinic designed to reverse gender transition care,...

Aug 6, 2026 – In mid-July, I had a piece on the ongoing battle between the Department of War and wind developers waiting on the military portion of the review process, which had basically ground to a halt. The delay was affecting nearly 150 projects in the pipeline awaiting approval, but the real financial...

Aug 6, 2026 – Um...that's it. That's the story.Seriously.Axios got themselves a figure - it's a big one - and then someone did some #mathz. I guess it looked like this:$268.9 billion ÷ illegal aliens = $2,358 per popAnd some numbskull who doesn't blink twice about buying a $12 Starbucks latte grande twice a...

Aug 7, 2026 – These are silly, silly people who do not have enough to do to keep them busy.The majority said Congress, not the President, controls major changes to the White House. It found no law authorizing the administration to demolish the East Wing and replace it with a privately funded ballroom, making...

Aug 7, 2026 – I thought I'd end the week on a positive note. One about there being fewer judges in one area where the Trump administration actually has some say over who sits in a seat.Acting (but hopefully soon-to-be the) Attorney General, Todd Blanche, has been ruthless in weeding through some of the obstructive...

Aug 17, 2026 – Nine months ago, David had one of his 'Youse gots ta be kiddin' me!' posts here, which seemed to be just another sign the apocalypse was getting closer.Then, when you realized it was a town in Massachusetts he was referring to, you thought, well, virtue-signaling progressives at work.There is nothing...

Aug 17, 2026 – Not being a logically inclined type, yet surrounded by them in my life - not only with a brilliant dad and every last brother, but my husband and our son as well - I have always admired those who have an aptitude for numbers, engineering, and work to develop higher...

Aug 25, 2026 – This is just nutty enough - it should work. And who am I to deride anything that would, or anyone who wants to do the right thing by *check notes* Maine's 'abandoned voters'?Not me, sisters and brothers.I love this idea.Especially as this...lumberjack...was selected, not elected, by the Maine Democrat Party after...

Aug 21, 2026 – Somehow, I feel like there should be a short snippet of the Hallelujah Chorus in here.You know what?I'm going to anyway.  Now, I didn't use the whole chorus because, as with everything in Washington, this is a temporary reprieve from an irritating problem.But it is another win notched on that golden...

Aug 21, 2026 – I thought I would end the week and lift a glass to Friday night on a very silly note.The best part of it is that I don't have to do a thing - the Democrats have, well. I say 'thoughtfully' done all the work for me, but as you will...

Aug 25, 2026 – Most people remember the outrage when word broke from New Orleans in 2005 that NOLA PD, National Guard units, and Louisiana State police were going house to house confiscating weapons on the orders of the NOLA police chief. I think that was probably the first time in recent memory the...

Aug 25, 2026 – I don't know what to ascribe this to. Perhaps a reluctance on the part of authorities in order to obscure the breadth of the problem they've imported, or maybe just lousy record-keeping in general, but it's not often you get a granular dive into the various ethnicities that have been...

Aug 27, 2026 – Two weeks ago, I told you all how California's Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit had partially denied the environmental groups' lawsuit against the government in the long-running Sable Oil Company effort to reopen its Santa Ynez offshore drilling operation, including the pipeline they had up and running from...

Aug 20, 2026 – I have, as you might have noticed, pretty much stayed out of the brouhaha over the USS Abraham Lincoln and the other ships keeping watch and running operations in the Middle East.Mostly because, in my unfiltered honesty, coupled with my personal experience, I haven't much patience with the whining coming...

Aug 21, 2026 – There's nothing worse than a frustrated AWFL when she's bored, hates everybody, and it's everybody's fault that she does.They tend to act out and do the damnedest things - sometimes even go a little crazy.You're thinkin', 'Uh-huh, sister,' am I right?If they're not all swooping and weeping outside a Manhattan courtroom...

Aug 25, 2026 – Well, this certainly has to be chapping some deep-blue progressive...lips.For all the posturing about blue-state governments closing off cooperation with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and other immigration arms, or just doing enough passively not to trigger any cutoff of federal funding, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and its...

Aug 27, 2026 – Now that summer is almost over, and the French can retire from killing old people in the heat and preening about how morally superior they are for letting Granny roast to death, as the state of their nation is so fantastic, they have to actually go on the hunt for...

Aug 27, 2026 – As everyone knows, the Canadians have their maple syrup panties in a wad and are baby-soft elbows up, warding off the evil capitalist Americans while playing the current round of 'Trade Wars.'It all blew up last Friday, when the Canadians inexplicably walked out on what the United States thought was...
