Let’s be honest with ourselves! Suppose any of us were among the wealthiest people in the world. Would our first prerogative be to endanger our life to save a country in which 40% of 350 million citizens suffer from a derangement syndrome that mainstream media coddles, agitates, and promotes? This pernicious hatred of President Trump … Read more
A Yale study that includes research and researchers from around the United States has concluded what many a knuckle-dragging deplorable understood for several years. The vaccine was causing long-term, symptoms blamed on the virus. In this study, we examined symptoms and circulating immune factors and cell typesassociated with chronic illness following COVID-19 vaccination. Post-acute conditions … Read more
Controversy over efforts to reduce fraud in the federal government roils daily headlines: the latest kerfuffle concerns lay-offs of “Epidemic Intelligence Service officers,” or “disease detectives,” as the EIS calls them on its website. The firings followed Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.’s HHS Secretary confirmation by mere hours, leading some Americans to howl foul while the … Read more
April 15th marks not only our annual “Tax Day” but also the 113th anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic. So, now is a propitious time to conflate the two events into a civics lesson involving our national survival. Titanic Captain Edward Smith and his officers knew well that dangerous icebergs loomed ahead of their ship. But … Read more
I have always expressed concern over the environmental impact of so-called green energy solutions: the carbon footprints, emissions offshoring, cost, inability to compete without taxpayer support, high cost, and the pressure they put on electricity prices. Then there’s the environmental end-of-life costs and the industry and government indifference to creating EOL green superfund sites on … Read more
How could so many dimwits run such a successful scam for so long without being discovered? Especially in light of their salaries versus the mansions they have suddenly acquired! This should have provided all the proof required for a serious investigation. Could it be that what was originally deemed to be the government’s unofficial watchdogs … Read more
This morning I am seeing reports that Kash Patel will be named as acting head of the ATF. When? Oh, sometime next week. Probably. I think that would be a good thing, but as someone used to say, I’ll believe it when I see it. It reminded me that for a while now, it’s bothered … Read more
You could put every ‘confirmed’ case of Bird Flu in the United States (in humans) on a Greyhound Bus. Fewer than 70 cases (68) out of a population of 340 million (ish). That’s 0.00002%. You’re more likely to get struck by lightning (1 in 15,300). And that’s just catching it. There have been no fatal … Read more
In late January, the Trump administration issued a series of executive orders that paused Treasury payments to a variety of federal contractors and grantees. These orders also often cancelled contracts with NGOS and other contractors altogether. Soon afterward, we began to see countless media stories about job losses at private NGOs and for-profit federal contractors. … Read more
It has been commonplace for so long that most Americans cannot remember a time before the United States government was out running public relations campaigns urging Americans to take this or that vaccine or other pharmaceutical industry product. Now, an early action by new US Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. suggests … Read more
It is not clear yet if anyone is going to swing (rhetorically) for all the corruption, fraud, and waste being unearthed within the payment systems of your federal government, but someone needs to go to jail. I think everyone can agree on that. The issue is who can be held accountable for the rank incompetence … Read more
A refusal to cooperate with officers of the Union.” That was James Madison’s answer to federal overreach – a strategy rooted in the very principles that founded the American republic. But you won’t hear about Madison’s enforcement strategy in government-run schools. Instead, they push the myth that only the federal government can determine the extent … Read more
Kashyap “Kash” Patel has made history as the first Indian-origin Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), a role he achieved after a contentious and politically charged confirmation process. On February 20, 2025, Patel secured his position as the head of the FBI with a narrow Senate vote of 51-49. This vote highlighted deep political … Read more
This week marked the end of the first month of the second Trump Presidency. It’s only been a month. Feels longer, yes? In a good way. Not for the Swamp creatures. Democrats and bureaucrats (almost always the same thing) are lawyering up against risk of lawsuits while others have filed scores of lawsuits. The proglodytes … Read more
Lawrence O’Donnell is a bloviating idiot on MSNBC who makes comments and claims that he cannot substantiate or are just too absurd to have to fact-check. While talking about the IRS, he referred to it as one of the hyperefficient agencies of the federal government that makes money for the government and costs nothing to … Read more
I don’t think any of our writers have riled on this issue more than Skip. The ruination of the iconic gas can via federal interference and regulation. An icon of government interference for the everyman. A bureaucratic assault on simplicity that drove up the price while making it nearly impossible to use one. Talk about … Read more

If Americans are ever to be healthy again, an effective response to ubiquitous microplastics will be essential. Recent confirmation hearings of the MAHA maven Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. focused on his supposed vaccine and abortion positions while mainly ignoring his opening statement centered on American diets. Industrially-backed officials may thrust their ostrich heads in the … Read more
If you are not on X, or arnot following me or Grok (and if you are on X please follow both), you might have missed this, and it’s brilliant. “White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller gives the Fake News a Civics lesson” during a White House Press Conference. Watch Karoline. At one point, … Read more
The wailing sound you heard last Thursday was the chorus of the Beltway warmongers shrieking in despair at President Trump’s suggestion that there was no reason for the United States to be spending one trillion dollars on “defense.” “…[O]ne of the first meetings I want to have is with President Xi of China and President … Read more
