Senator Dick Durbin, the senior senator from Illinois, is 80-years-old and still has about 18 months left on his current term in office. Today he announced he will not be running for another term in 2026, but said he does plan to finish out his current term. Durbin said it was time to “face reality.”...
Initially, I intended to include Rainn Wilson’s zinger in my earlier post regarding the debate on CNN. However, this really does warrant a separate look at yet another defense of the mainstream media, and accusations that outsiders are responsible for its credibility collapse. This time, the excuses come from MSNBC anchor Stephanie Ruhle, who claims...
Everything is easy, as long as you don’t have to consider reality. A while back, I wrote about Biden’s Chairman of the Council of Economic Advisors, Jared Bernstein, who literally couldn’t explain what money is, where it comes from, or why the federal government didn’t just print as much as it wants and not borrow...
Today in England is traditionally celebrated as St. George’s Day. I say ‘traditionally,’ because the Church of England has seen fit to move the feast day back to the 28th of April so as not to interfere with any of the Easter week celebrations. …According to church rules, no saint’s day can be observed during Holy...
Is this a blink? Or is it a nudge? Since Liberation Day, the White House has spent considerable effort recalibrating its tariff rates and applications as the markets responded — largely and significantly negatively. Donald Trump has hit China particularly hard, and after the first few days of the tariff rollout, appeared to make China...
Who could have guessed that Klaus Schwab was a grifter? Not me. I tend to think of him as more of a Bond villain, but unlike the old days when Bond villains could freely skim off the top of their evil organizations, the World Economic Forum’s version of global domination requires the proper paperwork before...
Public trust in media has never been lower. Once-important newspapers have hemorrhaged subscribers and readers. Ratings for cable-TV outlets like CNN and MSNBC have cratered. And guess who’s fault it is — at least according to CNN’s assorted talking heads? Yours. And mine too, it seems … for pointing out just how badly they do...
Nothing says “FIGHT THE OLIGARCHY” quite like flying a private jet to rally the Brownshirts with an aging millionaire. AOC sure knows how to fight “The Man!” HEIGHT OF IRONY: @BernieSanders and @AOC take $15,000 an hour private jet to ‘Fighting Oligarchy’ rallies. pic.twitter.com/Ouadcr1JHz — Corbin Williams (@corbinwilliams) April 22, 2025 No doubt you are...
Elon Musk is clearly proud of his time at DOGE. He posted this yesterday. ???? https://t.co/bcMZLov2La — Elon Musk (@elonmusk) April 21, 2025 But he’s also facing some real backlash from the left, some of it violent, over his position with DOGE. That pushback is starting to impact the bottom line for Tesla. Today, after...
I had to. First up in our round-up is the hydrogen Green dream. It’s not going so well for some of its former firm adherents – they’re throwing in most of the proverbial towel. For years, Airbus held a front-row seat in the theater of climate virtue signaling. With grand fanfare and a hefty €1.5...
After deliberating for about two hours a jury in Sarah Palin’s case against the NY Times sided with the newspaper, finding the Times was not liable for defaming Palin back in 2017. The jury deliberated a little over two hours before reaching its verdict after lawyers for Palin and the newspaper delivered closing arguments at...
You know, the Democrats have a case to make over the Abrego Garcia affair. It is a so-so case. Perhaps even a weak case. But it is not utterly absurd. Having the courts give a definition of what process is actually “due” in immigration cases involving identified terrorist organization-affiliated individuals wouldn’t be the worst thing. ...
It’s a good question. And perhaps no better time to ask it, although the timing may be accidental. Or not. The New York Times published this Lauren Jackson column on Good Friday, which questions whether America’s march toward secularization and atheism threw “the baby out with the baptismal water.” Jackson points out that Americans seem...
Yesterday Harvard sued the Trump administration and accepted applause from the left for leading the resistance to the administration’s demands of universities around the country. But it turns out that both sides of this argument have, at various times, been hoping for a compromise which would avoid an all-out confrontation. Initially it was Harvard that...
It really is a crazy story – as in ‘Crazy Eddie‘ of New York fame. If you’re from the Tri-State area, hearing that brings back memories of lunacy laced commercials for a retail electronics chain. Damn near every time they played, they’d blow out your TV speakers, with the shouted, frantic tagline ending them. COME...
