There is nothing remotely troubling about corporations raising money on the debt markets. It’s smart financial planning in many cases, doesn’t dilute the stock price like issuing more shares, and with a steady revenue stream the cost of the money raised is easily managed. And it benefits the economy by providing a reasonable return that…

The Morning Report 4/30/24
Good morning, kids. Back in the spring of 1978, during my freshman year at Brooklyn College, a couple dozen black and Puerto Rican students led by one “professor” Richie Perez stormed Whitehead Hall, kicked out teachers and students from their classrooms, and barricaded themselves inside. IIRC, It was ostensibly to protest cuts in the budget…

Good morning, kids. You know everything is upside down when John Fetterman of all people turns out to be a voice of reason. Well, sometimes situations such as we find ourselves yield the occasional positive, if not head-shakingly bizarre result. “It’s a great American value to protest, but I don’t believe living in a pup tent…
Blue-On-Blue Fighting! Cheer For Casualties On Both Sides!
The Kennedy family is bathed in the blood of others: from Joe Kennedy’s bootlegging criminality that built the foundations of their sordid little empire, to JFK’s expansion of America’s presence in Vietnam and cowardice in the face of communist expansion in our hemisphere , to the execrable Ted Kennedy’s destruction of our immigration system, serial…
The Morning Report 4/26/24
Good morning, kids. Much like George Jetson had a collapsible flying car in a suitcase, Harvey Weinstein, had a collapsible Posturepedic in his back pocket, and whipped it out con gusto to threaten career death to female starlets unless they gobbled his pockmarked johnson. Yet, he had his 2020 rape conviction tossed by the NY State…
The Morning Rant: Distorted Labor Markets, Courtesy Of Our Idiot Legislators
Who could possibly have predicted this shockingly unexpected result of increasing labor costs via government mandate? The idea that if wages go up, demand for workers will decrease and the price of goods and services will increase is insane! No economist could have foreseen this Black Swan event! There is simply no experience anywhere in…
The Morning Report 4/25/24
Good morning, kids. First, a big thanks to Mis Hum for filling in yesterday. Not going to go into detail about my situation except to say that I’m neither better nor worse than before the consult. In the coming weeks, I might be absent for a few days here and there, hopefully no longer than…
The Morning Rant: Jews Need To Fight
The archetype of the European Jew has subsumed the reality of worldwide Jewry. Scholarly, studious, non-confrontational, more interested in the intellectual than the physical. And of course the prevailing historical truism that millions of Jews went meekly to the slaughter from 1933 to 1945. And this well-meaning fool accepts the paradigm that Jews don’t fight,…
The Morning Report 4/23/24
Good morning, kids. Aside from being absolutely sickened to my stomach by the rabid, nearly and actually violent Jew-hatred that has exploded across college campuses and beyond in the wake of the 10/7 attack on Israel, it’s stunning to me how so many people, most dishearteningly my fellow Jews, are shocked – SHOCKED! – at…

Good erev Pesach morning, kids. Passover eve, for those not of the Tribe. What an ironically appropriate holiday for all of us, all things considered. But, it’s also Earth Day! So happy Earth day, or more accurately happy Brutally-murder-and-compost-your-girlfriend-then-flee-to-France-for-23-years Day! Speaking of compost, I give you a batch of it to start off the week, either with a laugh or…
