Klar: Will Trump and Kennedy Rein in Big Pharma Advertising?

June 28, 2025June 28, 2025 John Klar

The Trump administration is mulling policies to make it more difficult and costly for pharmaceutical companies to promote prescription drugs directly to consumers. Big Pharma spends billions on advertising to promote sales, yet not all of its products are necessary or even safe, contributing to the overmedication of many Americans. Concerns about the industry’s excessive … Read more

Is It Just Me, Or Are There Fewer EV Car Commercials Airing?

November 24, 2023 Steve MacDonald

I like to sneer and make snide comments when commercials for Electric Vehicles interrupt whatever I happen to be streaming. My wife has learned to ignore them, and I am trying to keep those opinions to myself, but recently, within the past few weeks, I’ve had no need.

April 12, 2022 Steve MacDonald

This is funny. It is, and it will piss off Democrats so that makes it even funnier. Attributed to Saudi TV, we have Joe and Kamala stepping up to the podium to make a few remarks. Or, something.

Hollywood Hypocrites Gun Violence shooting

If we are about to start “having a conversation” about guns before adding new legislation to previous legislation, which doesn’t stop violence, how about some new, sensible ideas I am sure progressives can support.

Turner Networks Cancels Michael Moore’s “Refreshing” Take on Politics

February 11, 2019 Steve MacDonald

Michael Moore failed to deliver on his promise. He told Turner Network Television (TNT) he wanted to create a political program that “was to be ‘a raucous gathering place for millions of our fellow citizens in desperate need of a break from the screaming pundits and the purveyors of ‘alternative facts.'” Two and a half years later, the Fat Marxist Millionaire from Michigan has failed to deliver anything. Turner has rescinded the offer.

Winter is Coming

September 26, 2018November 13, 2012 Steve MacDonald

Anyone who is a fan of Game of Thrones will see the myriad meanings in that title, to both the story and to real life.

As for the thing itself, if you have not yet seen the HBO version of Game of Thrones I highly recommend it. The entire first season is available on DVD, which is how I came to view it. Thanks to Barnes and Nobel, and a few gift cards and discounts, I managed to snag it for less than the cost of a month of HBO. (My monthly food and gas bill have practically doubled while my income has stagnated so I’m doing the best I can with the circumstances I’ve been stuck with–I must choose my entertainments wisely and this came highly recommended.)

I cannot yet remark on how well the HBO version hews to the book–I’m reading the books now and 100 pages in (it’s 790 pages long) so far so good.

Don’t worry, no spoilers…

ABC Cancels GCB – Too Much Competition from DCB?

September 26, 2018May 12, 2012 Steve MacDonald

ABC Canceled GCB. (That’s the family Friendly Disney/ABS’c short-lived controversial program about so-called Christian women who do not behave according the The Word.) Who among us is without sin? ABC certainly cannot claim otherwise.

While I’m sure GCB could have played well enough in the coast cities and liberal ghettos, it must–after all–be a show based on how Democrats actually approach the faith (you write what you know, yes?) no one else seems to have cared for it. And why would they? We already have the ugly version of this progran running 24/7 in DC called Democrat “Christian” Bitches (DCB). (I’m not being sexist here–most of the ‘bitches’ in the Democrat party are actually men, and most if not all the of the “Christian” Democrats are simply hypocrites.)
