Norah O’Donnell challenged Hakeem Jeffries, saying that 2/3 of America believed the economy was better under Donald Trump. “Well, that’s just not the case,” says Hakeem Jeffries.

Night Cap: Hey Joe, Did You Ditch Bidenomics
Joe Biden was on a three-city tour of Pennsylvania this week. He started in his hometown of Scranton, though I am not sure many in Scranton want to claim Joe as one of their own. You see, for all Joe says he is doing for his homeys, his lousy policies are costing the good people … Read more
Inflation Nation: Will America’s Economic Woes Worsen in 2024?
In his State of the Union address, President Joe Biden claimed US inflation is a result of price-gouging by corporate bogeymen. Recent statistics suggest other causes, some of which will likely persist through this election year – and the president’s narrative is not likely to hold up as rents, wages, and taxes rise, all increases that are hard to blame on corporate America.
Night Cap: Joe Biden, Liar In Chief
I have tried to be respectful as I have been critical of Joe Biden and his Administration, but he has not earned that respect. It is time to call a spade a spade and be blatantly honest about the damage this feeble man and his crew have done to America and Americans.
The Bidenistas are Bailing on Bidenomics – Not the Polices, Just the Word
You don’t hear the words build back better much anymore unless it’s from someone closer to the small government end of the spectrum making fun of Democrats who live at the other end. We’ve built debt and gone backward, and only the size of government is bigger (which they think is better).
Biden Ignores The Facts When Praising Bidenomics

Night Cap: Shrink-Flating Biden’s ‘Greed-Flation’
Rumor has it that mindless Joe Biden’s State of the Union speech will include a new deflection from his complicity in the shitshow that is the American economy. The guy who swore to end fossil fuels (no matter what…it would do to the economy) appears ready to blame greed for what ails us.
Joe, Please Stop Telling Us The Economy Is Great
Maybe it’s me. Perhaps we have first to define great. From Joe Biden down to Sandy Cortez, the entire left tries their damndest to convince the country the economy is booming, and we ignorant people of the land don’t understand it.
Night Cap: Bidenomics – Better Than Abysmal is Still Miserable
“Bidenomics is working!”
At least that’s what Joe Biden and his administration tell us every chance they get, citing cherry-picked statistics to prove their point. They tout the most recent inflation figure of 3.4 percent and compare it to last year, when the inflation rate was a crippling 6.5 percent.
Woodrow Wilson’s Christmas Grift of 1913
We think of thieves as conducting their work when no one is looking, such as breaking into a house while the owners are away. But the most successful thieves have done their stealing in plain sight, on a grand scale, while the owners were home and often with their tacit approval, though with sleights of hand that few are able to detect.
Sorry Santa, Joe Says No More Coal
To say it has been a wild year would be a gross understatement. Thanks to Joe and the rest of the gang that can’t shoot straight, we have had no shortage of topics in 2023. The difficult task has been to avoid redundancy as the disappointments and failures of Team Biden filled the headlines. I wanted to report good news but would not fall into Joe’s trap.
While Freedom Flourishes in New Hampshire, the Rest of New England Is a Different Story

Bananas GOP 3: Return of the Son of Ramaswamy
The Adrienne Arsht Center in Miami, Florida, was the site of the third Republican debate. Missing from the stage were candidates Mike Pence, Asa Hutchinson, and that guy Doug, as was the Reagan Library plane that disappeared like the hopes of the three vanquished old white guys.
The Dangers of a “Cashless” Economy
Before delving into the dangers of eliminating cash and mandating that all transactions be conducted by digital means, let us briefly discuss the legal aspects of money.
