Hear me out–Rahm Emanuel may be the best candidate for president the Democrats could put forward. Of course, that makes it an even bigger longshot than it usually is for any candidate. President Rahm Emanuel? He Thinks So. https://t.co/pKxjddSdTj — David Strom (@DavidStrom) May 23, 2025 I’m not a big fan of Rahm Emanuel or...
Both Beege and I have been writing about this problem for a few years. In my case, I think my first post about problems with the Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) train system was back in 2018. But post-pandemic the problem really went into overdrive. Prior to the pandemic about 70% of the funding for...
I seem to be on a ‘renewables suck so bad they blow’ kick here all of a sudden. But holy smokes – it’s as if the floodgates have opened and commonsense, coupled with a cold firehose dose of reality checks, is beginning to wash through state houses and parliaments all over the world. And hallelujah....
“Domestic Violent Extremists” is not a rhetorical flourish when employed by intelligence agencies. It has a very specific meaning and empowers US government intelligence and law enforcement officials to take enhanced steps to monitor and investigate you. What would be “unreasonable” searches under the Fourth Amendment suddenly become “reasonable,” based on your enhanced danger to...
Yes, yes, this is precisely the question on everyone’s minds before the victims of the assassin chanting “Free Palestine” have even been buried. Americans watched in horror the last couple of days with the question How will this impact the mostly non-violent “Globalize the Intifada” movement dominating their thoughts. At least, that’s what dominates the minds...
As David wrote here, the Trump administration announced yesterday that it was putting an end to Harvard’s ability to enroll international students. That’s significant because about a quarter of Harvard’s total enrollment is international students. Those students also pay a higher tuition compared to others so it’s a big portion of the school’s tuition income....
According to a peer-reviewed study published in Vaccines, mRNA COVID vaccines destroy 60% of female ovum supplies, which are non-renewable. 2/ The study titled, “Impact of mRNA and Inactivated COVID-19 Vaccines on Ovarian Reserve”, was published in the journal Vaccines, and reported on by @NicHulscher at @mcculloughfund and https://t.co/L48yIC4zPm — Rod D.

This story published by the Chronicle of Higher Education is really interesting and a bit surprising. UC Berkeley is well-known as one of the most left-wing campuses in the country and has been since the 1960s. As you might expect the faculty at Berkeley is about as far left as you could imagine. But an...
So much for our deep friendship with India! Tim Cook might have figured that shifting production lines for iPhones in the American market from China to India would curry favor with the White House. The initial suspension of tariffs on high-tech products like those made by Apple must have appeared that Cook made the right...
The Department of Homeland Security has announced that it will revoke Harvard University’s ability to host foreign students due to its continued toleration of violence, intimidation tactics, and student promotion of terrorism. Homeland Security is not making the claim that most or all of these students are violent or support terrorism–which would violate the terms...
There’s a lovely song, You’ve Got a Friend in Me, by Randy Newman that always makes me smile when I hear it. Newman’s warm, ‘guy next door’ voice doesn’t hurt a thing. It shines with natural warmth, and the words are just so reassuring – you have to smile every time you hear it. You’ve...
What happened? Your guess is as good as mine. The Supreme Court isn’t explaining how it got to a 4-4 tie in OK Charter School Board v Drummond, except to remind everyone that Justice Amy Coney Barrett recused herself. The Supreme Court only offers an explanation of the effect of the 4-4 tie in its...
Democrats have been telling us for years that Donald Trump is demented for a long time. At first, it was an attempt to distract from Joe Biden’s actual loss of mental acuity, but now that Biden is in the rear-view mirror and the cat is out of the bag about Biden’s dementia, they are using...
Actually … how difficult is this to believe, really? Hasn’t everyone tired of this show? Fresh off their attempt to cover up Joe Biden’s cognitive impairment, and not long after setting a record for the number of on-air retractions in a single show, the women of The View have been put under scrutiny by Disney...
Did the Supreme Court just execute Humphrey’s Executor? Justice Elena Kagan certainly thinks so. That could put an end to nearly a century of an extra-constitutional “independent” branch of the federal government … with one notable exception, as we’ll see. After a series of defeats over the firing of executive-branch officials in lower courts, the...
