So Deliciously Cruel, It Makes You Laugh

February 20, 2025 Skip

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).

January 6, 2023 Steve MacDonald

Electric Vehicles are expensive and not green, but an even bigger insult is the taxpayer-backed incentives to get one. EV buyers are high-income earners, which makes them high-income emitters looking to buy a bit of virtue signaling.

Elon Has Become Enemy Number 1

April 15, 2022 Ray Cardello

Elon Musk has crossed the line as far as Big Brother and Government are concerned. I guess that is redundant. It was yesterday that he was a hero. He was the most prominent advocate and producer of electric cars. That fit into their program.
