Dec 27, 2024 – The worst thing about being an incoming administration is that it isn't a clean slate. In a just and fair world, you should be able to take a firehose to every single mess your predecessor made - or is still purposefully making right up to the day they wheel his...

Jan 2, 2025 – I was going to take it easy yesterday. That rare kind of break in the middle of the week that allows you to have some fun, much the same as I did on Christmas Day. My cruel and backbreaking bossman had even relented both holidays, giving me permission to sluff...

Jan 7, 2025 – If anyone can cause an international incident without even trying, it's old 45/almost 47.In 2019, in what just may have been a case of existential presidential musing that caught on, Donald Trump mulled over, you know...buying Greenland. Everybody had a case of 'WHERE the hell did THAT come from?" But it's Trump,...

Jan 7, 2025 – It never, ever fails, does it?The virtue-signaling, smug AWFL always becomes a victim the very second that their complete incompetence, indifference, and utter hypocrisy are exposed to light.Such is the story now with Sir Keir Starmer's vile Minister for Safeguarding and Violence and Women and Girls (Yes, that's a title),...

Dec 26, 2024 – WOWSAHSThis Hatfield and McCoy feud between Brandon Johnson/Chicago Teachers Union(CTU)/Toadie School Board and now 'fired' Chief Executive Office (aka superintendent) of the Chicago Public Schools (CPS) system Pedro Martinez/newly-elected but unseated schoolboard members/taxpayers is really getting to be something.The cut-throat aspect is more Game of Thrones, while the execution is...

Jan 3, 2025 – Sparklers for New Year seem so quaint and old-fashioned anymore.The remnants of a simpler, more innocent time when people who lived somewhere could get together as friends and fellow countrymen and revel in the recent past while anticipating a - hopefully - bright future with the coming of December 31st.Festively...

Apr 15, 2025 – *checks notes*Yup. That's what it says right here.How bad is California’s housing crisis?
