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...

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...

Jun 6, 2025 – I suppose this could be your Friday rhetorical question, as we all know a fish rots from the head, and the head of the Manhattan District Attorney's office is none other than the rotten-to-the-core Alvin Bragg.The same Alvin Bragg who prosecuted Donald Trump for falsifying business records. The same Alvin...

Jun 6, 2025 – Listen, I'm sure it's true, too, this raging paranoia they all seem to be suffering from.Now, I'm no shrink - I don't even play one here at HotAir - but my professional cynical opinion, bolstered by years of detailed and exacting Scientific™ observation, have led me to conclude there are...

Jun 5, 2025 – Two years ago, I got to write one of the weirdest headlines I've ever written here at HotAir. What made it weird was that no Beege-isms were required.The whole thing spoke for itself.What happens when Target hires a transgender Satanist to design their Pride merchandise?That was the whole story right there....

Jun 6, 2025 – This is another one of those things happening since, well, basically the election that isn't just a surprising and encouraging reversal of recent trends.It's frickin' downright gobsmacking how fast the 180° turn and acceleration in the opposite direction took off.When last we saw our demoralized and struggling United States Army,...

Jun 11, 2025 – And I had such high hopes when I read this earlier.I thought, schmaybe, just schmaybe, cranky pants old Communist Karen had had herself an Elon-like moment of reflection amid all the flames and chaos.That Mayor Bass was ready to...well, not kiss, but perhaps bite her vicious forked tongue and make...

Jun 11, 2025 – Hmmm. I'm guessing this means the Iranians just aren't that big into carrots.Whoda thunk?The leaks to Tucker and the media aren’t just for domestic consumption. They also impact the behavior of Tehran.— AG (@AGHamilton29) June 10, 2025And whoda thunk they'd be using the downtime as they waffle like bashful little...
