        Disdain for President Donald Trump translates into a refusal to accept reality if doing it gives Trump a political victory. Examples include, but are certainly not limited to, the continuing assertion that Trump, about Charlottesville, said some variation of, “There were good and bad white nationalists and neo-Nazis on both sides”;...

        What is it about politicians in Washington that they just can’t stand progress or the thought of anyone getting rich?         That’s the attitude of many Democrats in Congress as they try to cripple the private equity and venture capital industries with higher tax rates. These financers are...

        China has a death grip on our medical supplies and consequently our ability to survive. It is the sole manufacturer of one hundred medications we commonly use, including antibiotics and blood thinners, and is the largest supplier of nitrate gloves, masks, syringes and other medical equipment essential in hospitals.    ...

It has been an iron law in American politics that, no matter what the electorate wants, our politics only has two speeds: a rush to the left and then a period of the left consolidating their gains.  There is a liberal “ratchet.” There have been a few exceptions, but they have been minor and temporary....

The latest salvo from the Trump administration fired at Harvard comes only in part from the current standoff over anti-Semitic intimidation campaigns and discriminatory practices. Five years ago, Trump’s team opened an investigation into Harvard’s revenue streams over concerns of full reporting as well as foreign influence in Academia. Joe Biden buried that probe, officially...

Come on, man. Where else but at a Joe Biden speech would one hear so much “malarky,” both literally?  Unfortunately, the market hasn’t ponied up for $300,000 speeches about dog-faced pony soldiers from a man who mumbles nonsense about “colored kids” while claiming to have been raised in a veritable United Nations neighborhood. As the...

The WHOLE island. At around 12:40 local time (16:40 UTC), a power outage impacting the entire island or #PuertoRIco began. #Internet traffic from the territory dropped by ~40% as a result.

Surprisingly, this spin on a story ranks only #2 in the rankings this week.  #1 I wrote about yesterday, in which I learned that Trump was responsible for the heart attack of an obese Social Security employee with chronic heart disease and hypertension because he didn’t respect her enough.  But this spin is about as insane.  LA...
