Bigly, but temporarily. Or is it temporarily-ly? Whichever term one wants to use, some may add surprisingly as well. Wanna bet Gavin Newsom got surprised by a unanimous slapdown at the Ninth Circuit in his fight over control of the National Guard? The California governor took a brief X/Twitter victory lap after a win at...
Can Democrats escape the corner they painted themselves into on gender ideology? Survey says: “No!” At least not until the paint dries out completely, and this is slow-drying paint. That reality was demonstrated again on Wednesday, when the Supreme Court ruled that states have the power to ban “gender affirming care” (sterilizing and mutilating) procedures...
I know a lot of you saw this story I had in the headlines last Friday because WOOF. Weren’t the comments enfuego?! For those of you who didn’t, here’s a quick recap, and I guarantee, it’ll frost your shorts. City Gov to Seize 175-Year-Old Farm by Eminent Domain, Replace with Affordable Housing Family fights township...
I just read through this rather lengthy story published today at the NY Times. It’s titled “How the Transgender Rights Movement Bet on the Supreme Court and Lost.” While I don’t agree with everything in the story, I do think this is a very fair and well rounded presentation of how we got where we...
SpaceX appears to have mastered the production of the Starship Heavy Booster, but it is experiencing significant challenges in getting its Starship second stage to function as intended. It should come as no surprise that getting Starship to be the reliable, fully reusable, and rapid-turnaround rocket that Elon Musk envisions is not going entirely smoothly....
Vice President J.D. Vance joined Bluesky yesterday and the results were about what you’d expect. His first three posts clearly seemed like an effort to troll the far left denizens of the site. Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â The responses to Vance were exactly what you would expect. First his account was taken down just minutes after...
This is very much a local story, believe it or not. I’ve kind of always had a hard spot in my heart for Boeing. It originally had to do with growing up with a Lockheed-loving Daddy, who sang the praises of the Electras and then L-1011s he flew for the majority of his time as...
“Bunker buster” bombs are not all the same, even if they all share the same name. Israel can deploy “bunker buster” bombs, but only of the 2000 lb variety. These can be very useful to strike some buried targets, particularly tunnels and certain reinforced bunkers. But the technology dates back to the 1970s, and already...
We’ve talked about this topic before but as Nate Silver points out today, it probably gets less attention than it should. Let’s just start with the chart so you can refer back to it. As the legend indicates, this is a 0-100 point scale where 100 is “excellent” and 0 is “poor.” As you can...
DIS GUY I tell you what. In the long annals of exploded pecuniary hopes, sought after fame, and dreams for a monster book debut, DIS GUYÂ has to be damn near the top of the list for all time floparooskis and utter humiliation. Jake Tapper, pilloried as a mendacious clown from one end of the country...
It may seem a bit nitpicky of me to compare Democrats’ love and mandating of masks during the COVID tyranny and their about-face on masks for law enforcement today, but it really isn’t, at least not entirely. First, the point isn’t that masks themselves are the issue, but rather what the Democrats consider the appropriate...
Candace Owens used to be a thing. She is smart, gorgeous, an outspoken conservative, and bat excrement crazy. She has always been out there, of course, but more as a provocateur than a nutcase. Her outspoken advocacy and willingness to take on the race-baiters raised her profile so much that she landed a spot at...
There’s something I’ve found observing people all these years that I believe is unique to the Western psyche. Particularly Americans, but it can often also be found in those from other Western countries who have either spent too much time in America itself, or have absorbed much of the progressive and insular attitudes so fashionable...
Wowza. It’s no surprise that Israel has destroyed Iran’s Arak nuclear reactor. After all, it was a key element of Iran’s program to build nuclear weaponry, and a very vulnerable target. The only strategic reason not to attack it was the fact that it could have contained highly radioactive material, and Israel had to balance...
The Democratic Party is effectively decapitated, which means that it is every man and Xe for they/them. As America has become increasingly divided, what motivates liberal voters, and especially the increasingly radical base of the Democratic Party, are fringe issues that are either irrelevant or even offensive to everybody else. What that means is that...
