I think she means well, but if she ever had a clever thought, it died alone and afraid. That is the response of Senator John Kennedy (R-LA), who has the most droll, dead-pan delivery of scorching humor when addressing the idiots arrayed before him (his “colleagues, some of those offering “testimony” and current events). But … Read more
If you don’t read my Substack, you should. Yesterday, I created a TDS variant named DOGE Derangement Syndrome (DDS, but without the dentist). There’s no need to describe it; it’s the only thing the Democrats can talk about. And it turns out to have been one of several judicial traps set by Team MAGA for … Read more
Donald Trump continues to get the people he wants as the United States Senate has just confirmed Kash Patel to run the FBI. The Senate has narrowly voted, 51-49, to confirm Kash Patel to be FBI Director. Collins and Lisa Murkowski joined all 47 Democrats in voting no on Patel’s nomination. That was NBC – … Read more
The “Press” has “fluid” definitions for Free Speech depending on who legitimately gored their ox or whose ox they are trying to gore. And too often, their (retributional) ideological persuasions override their common sense (provided they have some of the latter left): And THIS would be MAGNIFICENT if the MSM would just go away from … Read more
I am old enough to remember when organized sports kept their distance from gambling in any form. Remember how Pete Rose was excommunicated from Major League Baseball and banned from the Hall of Fame because of betting on games when he was a manager? This was when he was the all-time hits leader and should … Read more
Back in the mid-1980s, while a mail handler working for the United States Postal Service at what was called the South Postal Annex, I had a conversation with a White liberal co-worker. I was trying to “Red Pill” him” by loaning him a book, “Hijacked,” the Anthony Bryant Story. Mr. Bryant was a Black Panther … Read more
Russ Vought, former Director of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), has recently made bold claims regarding the role of government institutions in shaping political agendas. Vought’s statements have sparked debate over several pressing political issues, particularly government waste and ideological influence. He has argued that Elon Musk’s actions challenge the political establishment, referring to a … Read more
Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders’s comical display over babies’ “onesies” during Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.’s Senate confirmation hearing for HHS Secretary was an attempted assault on the right to free speech. The speech policing of the Biden administration is not yet in the rearview mirror: it was on full display when Sanders demanded Kennedy curtail the … Read more

My Guest will be Phill Kerpen from American Commitment, and we’ll be unwrapping the Trump Agenda. It’s a big topic with a lot of moving parts coming at us like water from … Read more
The Department of Governmental Efficiency (D.O.G.E.) reminds me of an old song titled “Who Let the Dogs Out”. The miracle of Google allowed me to review the lyrics! While President Trump and Elon probably would not approve of the lyrics, ironically, the title foreshadows the amazing accomplishments that D.O.G.E. has brought to the USA. The … Read more
Workers across the country responded with anger and confusion,” the Associated Press reported last week, in response to the Trump administration’s layoffs of probationary workers. CBS News tells us “federal workers express shock, anger over mass firings,” and The New York Times writes that federal works face “sleeplessness, anger and tears.” Some workers launched lawsuits against the Trump administration. Others went on … Read more
The cost of everything was already up thanks to bad economic policy. Inflation got so bad that it started to harm the so-called green energy industry. The elite’s response to that was to print more money and give it to the greenwashers, which just made inflation worse. But that wasn’t enough. Busy-body lefties piled regulations … Read more
The Democrats have two choices. They can put their collective heads together and come up with solutions, which will never happen because, even collectively, there is no level of intelligence to develop solutions. They can put their tails between their legs and work with the Republicans, who have the majority support of Americans on key … Read more
To answer the question in the headline, probably not. As in, no clue at all. Sure, a COUPLE of them might know but they won’t speak up as it would spoil the narrative. But they sure are making a lot of the ages of the DOGE wonderkiddos that are turning up all KINDS of waste … Read more
What kinda set of morons are going to try to take on a pistol-packing momma with “da babe” on her hip? Didn’t they pay attention to Sarah Palin’s “Mama Grizzly” – and this one bringing some hot lead to make somebody’s day? Mother With Baby on Hip Gets in Shootout With Alleged Intruders A Decatur, … Read more
In a heated war of words, Luther Martin responded to a series of essays penned by Oliver Ellsworth under the pseudonym Landholder, defending his colleague Elbridge Gerry against Federalist attacks and reinforcing key Anti-Federalist warnings about consolidation and the dangers of unchecked federal power. Gerry and Martin were both delegates to the Philadelphia convention, and neither … Read more
The market economy is the first economic system that makes it profitable to be colour-blind and look for the best supply and the best demand, regardless of who is responsible for it. Of course, it will not make everyone colorblind, but it does so more than otherwise would have been the case (especially in combination … Read more
With a nod to Marxism’s goal of breaking everything, trust in public health, hospitals, and medicine is at an all-time low. The response to SARS CoV2 fractured public confidence, and while there’s room for a discussion about whether that was the point or just a helpful artifact, that ship has sailed. The triad of hospitals, … Read more
D.O.G.E. just cut $900 million from an agency, the Institute for Education Sciences (IES), which tracks American student data. Did the cuts go deep enough to eliminate funding for the State Longitudinal Data Systems (SLDS) ? This system tracks student data from all fifty states, despite the fact that the federal government has no constitutional … Read more
