Apr 22, 2025 – Oooh, wasn't I glad to see Ed's earlier piece on what Marco Rubio announced over at the State Department this morning.Today is the day. Under @POTUS’ leadership and at my direction, we are reversing decades of bloat and bureaucracy at the State Department.These sweeping changes will empower our talented diplomats to...

Apr 22, 2025 – It really is a crazy story - as in 'Crazy Eddie' of New York fame. If you're from the Tri-State area, hearing that brings back memories of lunacy laced commercials for a retail electronics chain.  Damn near every time they played, they'd blow out your TV speakers, with the shouted, frantic...

Apr 22, 2025 – I had to.First up in our round-up is the hydrogen Green dream.It's not going so well for some of its former firm adherents - they're throwing in most of the proverbial towel.For years, Airbus held a front-row seat in the theater of climate virtue signaling. With grand fanfare and a...

Apr 10, 2025 – With all that's been going on in the world as far as trade wars, tariffs, and China, China, China, there hasn't been much in the news about Panama.That doesn't mean nothing's been happening, though.In fact, Panama is turning into one more giant burr under Xi's Mongolian camel blanket and Trump...

Apr 10, 2025 – Well, the grace period for New York City denizens is over. The one they'd had since October, where they were supposed to learn how to properly separate their food scraps in order to obey the city's new picky, picky, picky composting law.Organic matter from the leaves in your yard to the...

Apr 10, 2025 – This is a bold move.Then again, if a terrorist organization was ever going to try such a gambit in a Western country? Other than maybe Germany, the United Kingdom would be my choice for 'best chance of a successful conclusion to the effort' as the sympathies and priorities of officials...

Apr 10, 2025 – China's kind of in a pissy mood about the trap Trump sprung on them and spent a little time mocking his motivations for doing so the other day.The CCP put out a nifty little AI piece illustrating what their vision of the industries China now dominates would look like if...

Apr 11, 2025 – A few days ago, there was a bit of a tempest in a teapot when our representative to the NATO military committee, a female US Navy admiral named Shoshana Chatfield, was 'forced out,' as the media decided to put it.Now, the pretty sympathetic coverage the story got was overshadowed by the...

Apr 11, 2025 – I don't know what it is about blue states, but biting the hand that feeds them is always the first - and usually only - option on the table when somebody needs money for something.New Jersey is a prime example, and under rodential governor Phil Murphy's tender care, that state...

Apr 23, 2025 – Today in England is traditionally celebrated as St. George's Day.I say 'traditionally,' because the Church of England has seen fit to move the feast day back to the 28th of April so as not to interfere with any of the Easter week celebrations....According to church rules, no saint’s day can be...

Apr 23, 2025 – Oh, this is truly horrific.The resort area of Pahalgam, in the volatile Kashmir region on India's border with Pakistan, had been a bit of a success story for Prime Minister Modi.The Islamic separatists who had long plagued development by operating and terrorizing residents and visitors in the area had seemingly...

Apr 28, 2025 – This is going to be a quick little sprint through exercises in parliamentary democracy as we've come to know and abhor it here over the past couple of years.First, a quick touch on Canada, where the anointed and appointed liberal Prime Minister Mark Carney, the Davos-blessed replacement for twee former...

Apr 29, 2025 – Oh, boy.There's humanely and responsibly taking care of uninvited guests (read: illegal migrants flooding into your country). And then there's indulgence to the point where you're responsible for encouraging the flood itself, have done nothing to stem the tide, and have completely abrogated any responsibilities you owe your citizens/taxpayers by the...

Apr 29, 2025 – It looks as if we could well be headed into one. In this instance, it looks like Trump and his tariff war aren't the reason for the news coming out of United Parcel Service (UPS) today.Or shouldn't be, however much they'll spin it as such.According to the powers that be...

Apr 30, 2025 – This was so under the radar with everything else going on in the world that I'm just reading about it this morning, days after it happened.The Rwandan genocide of 1996-1997, aka The First Congo War - you probably all remember those horrific images of minority ethnic Tutsi and moderate Hutus...

Apr 30, 2025 – Thanks to the tariff situation, all the back-and-forth rumbling and saber-rattling between the US and other countries, especially China, there's a Great Wall of uncertainty hanging over trade right now.As Ed wrote this morning, a rush to import goods in order to beat the tariff deadlines helped dump our GDP...

Apr 30, 2025 – One week ago, Muslim separatists crossed the border from Pakistan into India's idyllic Pahalgam area in the disputed Kashmir region. They ruthlessly and methodically executed 26 people - some of the honeymooners, others with family they hadn't seen in ages, and all of them for the sin of being Hindu.India blamed...

Apr 30, 2025 – I was all set to get worked up over this one, but I think I'll wait until some uber Lefty judge hears about it, steps up, and shuts it down.Who cares if truck drivers hauling thousands of tons at highway speeds can't speak the King's English?Trump is a monster.WAAHMACITO"IT'S AN...

May 1, 2025 – Watching the Democrat Party's ongoing exercise in self-immolation has been a guilty pleasure for some time now.Ever since orchestrating a palace coup to remove their titular mushroom and then falling on their collective plastic swords to joyfully follow the Coconut Queen and Court Jester into the dustbin of historical ignominy,...

May 1, 2025 – Welp. Yesterday was the day, my friends.The oh, so eagerly awaited day that the former Vice President of the United States, Kamala 'Coconut Queen' Harris shredded the protective fiber layers of the vegan cocoon she and Dougie had wrapped themselves in since her stunning, spectacular - and ever-so-gratifying - November...

May 1, 2025 – Shiver me timbers - that didn't take long.The Canadian elections were held on Monday, and the anointed and appointed Prime Minister, liberal Mark Carney, was able to grab the mantle of legitimacy with his win over the snake-bit conservatives and their leader, Pierre Poilievre.He is one happenin' dude for a...

May 1, 2025 – I don't get this Tillis *spits* guy. He's got an 'R' after his name that's worth about as much to him as it means to Murkowski.Just a reminder that @SenThomTillis voted to confirm both Merrick Garland and Lisa Monaco to lead Biden's DOJ. Now he wants to sink the confirmation of...

May 2, 2025 – I have to say that was one of the best hours I've ever had glued to the tube.We watch Jesse Watters every night - he really is pretty entertaining - but we had no idea that the little secret assignment he'd alluded to when explaining his absence was going to...

Apr 25, 2025 – This was a really interesting couple of pieces I came across this morning, especially after writing that piece on all the student loan defaults.It seems there might be a trend back towards the trades beginning to appear among the Gen Z crowd.Some of the reasons seem obvious to me -...

Apr 25, 2025 – As John told y'all yesterday, high-powered Democrat defense lawyer Abbe Lowell has waded into the Letitia James fray.It turns out he wasn't hired directly by James herself to defend against the criminal referral sent by Bill Pulte's Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) but by the New York State Attorney General's Office....
