This had to be an unwelcome surprise for the Master of the Old Magoo. Friedrich Merz has spent his whole life massaging the various super-sized egos along the path of his political career, fawning at the feet of such Christian Democrat (CDU) luminaries as Angela Merkel, to reach the pinnacle of German political power –...
Back in the 90s, I started following the “Global Warming”/Climate Change narrative, and I have been frustrated with the debate ever since. The theory that human behavior and emissions can have marginal but meaningful effects on regional climates or a global level is not as absurd as some critics seem to think. We know, from...
How is it possible that the FBI reached the conclusion back in 2017 that the Alexandria baseball practice shooting by James Hodkinson was just an attempt at “suicide by cop” and not motivated by politics. Today, GOP members of the House Intel Committee released a new report based on its own review of the entire...
Have the Houthis waved the white flag? And did they do so a day too late? Donald Trump announced a few minutes ago that the US would pause its bombardment in Yemen after the Iranian proxy terrorist army “capitulated.” Trump claims that they have pledged to stop targeting Red Sea shipping, at least: BREAKING: President...
A key thing to understand about liberals is that they don’t actually care about the results of their policies. If they don’t work out as planned, it’s not their fault; it is due to some flaw in implementation, reality itself, or the human beings who (predictably) couldn’t make their utopian plans work. “Real communism hasn’t...
This is such a tired, obvious old story repeating itself endlessly that we don’t cover much of it anymore. Lying, gaslighting, half the story – it’s what the press does routinely. Protecting, defending, and promoting, not the truth but the progressive narrative is so much a part of their function, so baked into their very...
To paraphrase Bill Murray from Stripes: There’s something wrong here. There’s something very, very wrong here. Donald Trump — who last I checked was the duly elected president of the United States — nominated Ed Martin to serve as US Attorney for Washington DC, and also has him serving as interim US Attorney. With only a...
Is it time for the United Kingdom to go on a war footing? Keir Starmer seems to think so. His government is busily updating the Cold War-era war plans that were last looked at seriously 20 years ago. EXC: Britain is secretly preparing for a direct military attack by Russia. Officials have been asked to...
Curious, only in that this wasn’t the first target selected by the IDF. Israel has launched retaliatory strikes against the Houthis in Yemen after a missile nearly hit Ben-Gurion Airport in Tel Aviv, the main international hub. Airlines suspended service temporarily while the Israelis work to restore security, creating headaches for their transportation and their...
I was skeptical when I saw that the number of “millionaires” in Ukraine has increased by 61% over the past year. The statistic was just too on the nose for a narrative for it to be taken at face value. If true, the propaganda value for Ukraine war opponents would be obvious. It turns out...
A pair of vacant properties in Hollywood, CA started making news 10 days ago after residents complained a large group of squatters had taken over the homes and were creating a nuisance in the neighborhood. “They cut the fence and lift it,” said Jennifer Martinez, a neighbor. “I’ve seen a lot of trespassers have drugs...
By the time you all get to read this, all the celebrities and wanna-bees, often in outlandish costumes…oh. Excuse me. ‘High fashion.’ Anyone lucky and/or rich enough will have sashayed up the sweeping, wide staircase into the Met Gala 2025, Anna Wintour’s must-be-seen social event of the year. I’m serious about the staircase part. THIS...
The trade war with China has sent US stocks on a rollercoaster ride and led to disputes about whether or not China is already discussing a trade deal. But the impact is also being felt in China. Last week there a report showed Chinese factories were slowing down in response to tariffs. Estimates of China’s...
If somebody from 2005 teleported 20 years into the future, they would beg to go back home. Sure, there are lots more cool toys to play with now, and the televisions are mega huge, but it seems our basic grasp of reality disappeared somewhere along the way. It’s kinda like that Ryan George series of...
