President Donald Trump’s approval declined after he announced broad tariffs not just on China but on trading partners who, in his opinion, take advantage of America with their tariffs on American goods. But how quickly those rooting for Trump’s failure forget the mood of the country during the Biden administration. ...
Note:I had intended to write a new reflection for this weekend, but my main computer stopped working on Friday night. Instead, I hope you will enjoy this reflection from 2016, and keep that timing in mind when I write about the film ‘Risen’ I still highly recommend it, too. This morning’s Gospel reading is John...
Back in January, when firefighters were doing their best to fight the blaze in the Pacific Palisades, the fire hydrants started running out of water. Developer Rick Caruso commented about this on local television and his comments went viral. That led to this amazing video in which a local news anchor tried to debunk Caruso’s...
Dana Perino has a superpower. It is a special gift that has nothing to do with her position as a Fox News anchor or her former role as press secretary for former President George W. Bush. Instead, it has everything to do with her ability to guide...
Chrissie Mayr still isn’t backing down — not from hecklers, not from the mainstream media, and certainly not from the woke establishment that wants to suppress laughs in favor of “regime comedy” and clapter. Two years ago, they all came after Mayr. First, she did an extemporaneous riff on Dylan Mulvaney that drew protests by...
President Donald Trump’s record as the deregulation president is nearly unparalleled. In his first 100 days in office, he has already identified hundreds of billions of dollars of potential deregulation savings in the areas of energy, education and housing. Hooray. But some of...
Government makes most things worse. Lyndon Johnson launched a War on Poverty; Richard Nixon a War on Drugs. Both had good intentions, but their “wars” do more harm than good. I believed the War on Poverty would lift people...
Mayor Daniel Lurie was elected on a platform of cleaning up San Francisco’s streets, in particular dealing with drugs and homelessness. He’s been claiming some successes recently. The number of homeless tents are at the lowest levels on record. Every San Franciscan deserves clean, safe streets—and every person deserves a path to stability. We will...
I spent a few moments this morning feeling a little burst of renewed optimism that things were going to be okay. That, economically, we were settling down and strong enough to ride this tariff and trade roller coaster out. I mean, the jobs report came in pretty darn encouraging – a bigger gain than expected,...
Shortly after Judge Hannah Dugan was arrested in Milwaukee for attempting to interfere in the arrest of a criminal illegal immigrant by federal agents, there was a general caterwauling from elected Democrats. I wrote a post cataloging some of the instant and suspiciously similar responses from Senators Tina Smith, Tammy Baldwin, Elizabeth Warren, Chuck Schumer,...
Artificial Intelligence agents are the new tech hotness. Still, they have a few flaws that not only limit their usefulness but can be weaponized politically and can cause actual harm to people. One of the biggest issues is what has been characterized as a tendency to “hallucinate,” which is a fancy way of saying that...
If we learned anything from mainland China’s slow-motion take over of Hong Kong, it should be that China has option other than rolling tanks in the streets. In Hong Kong it used legal measures and police action to stop protests and jail activists. Then it threatened everyone into silence and shut down independent news outlets,...
I haven’t done anything in a long time about worthless people whom no one cares about other than to watch their self-imposed slow motion train wreck and comment sagely on it…so here I am today. Litigious British Prince Harry, the ne’er-do-well Duke of Montecito, and still fifth in line to the British throne for some...
There six authors in the byline of this story titled “The Story of the ‘Mistakenly Deported Maryland Man’.” I think it’s fair to say the NY Times is going all out here to salvage a failing Democratic effort to make Kilmar Abrego Garcia a sympathetic figure, despite all the bad news that has come out...
Donald Trump is upping his threats to Harvard, and I am okay with that as long as he stays within the law in doing so. Trump’s first shot across the bow came when he froze some funding for Harvard, rightly accusing them of violating civil rights laws. The accusation itself is clearly true–as I wrote...
