Facial Recognition. Digital IDs. Electronic Funds. License Plate Readers. Surveillance Cameras. Internet Usage Tracking. National Gun Database. You name the technology program, and the odds are that it will reduce individual freedom. Where are the robust safeguards against government misuse of all of these data? They do not exist, except as a throwaway comment from…

The Morning Report 4/19/24
Good morning, kids. Were it not for the fact that Israel evidently launched what it describes as “limited” yet by most reports pretty sharp retaliatory strikes on Iran – that is directly and overtly on Iranian territory by IDF assets, not merely suspected covert Mossad assassinations or sabotage – you would not know (if you…
The Morning Report 4/18/24
Good morning, kids. Let me just get this off my chest. Me calling Malig-Nancy Pelosi a warped, venal C-U-Next-Tuesday is, to swipe part of Martin Sheen’s dialogue from Apocalypse Now! “like handing out speeding tickets at the Indianapolis 500.” Her nakedly prevaricated words in supposed defense of Israel slid off one side of her halitosis-tinged forked tongue while…
The Morning Report 4/17/24
Good morning, kids. A couple of under-the-radar stories that despite on the surface could be taken as good news items nevertheless underscore the ideologically-driven incompetence and lust for absolute power of the anti-American Democrat-Left that don’t necessarily fill me with strength and confidence. First, yet another story that tells us that the push for EVs…
The Morning Rant
I don’t much care how NPR is funded. I know that it gets public money. They are welcome to play accounting games and lie to the American people, but the fact remains that CPB (Corporation for Public Broadcasting) gets several hundred million dollars from the federal government, and that means that we are paying this…
The Morning Report 4/16/24
Good morning, kids. It’s obvious, as well as beyond insane, that whoever the puppet-master(s) pulling the strings of Joey Sponge-Brain Shits-Pants is (or are) are willing to touch off a conflict that could quickly escalate into World War 3 just because they fear Donald Trump will actually beat the cheat that for sure is in place…
Israel War
By most measures, the Iranian attack on Israel was a colossal failure. It demonstrated that Iranian technology is at least one generation behind Israel’s and the West’s, and it also showed how well several Western-armed forces managed a combined military response. There were no friendly-fire incidents…that in itself is impressive. So what is next? Should…
The Morning Report 4/15/24
Good morning, kids. It’s good to be back in the blue room! No, you have not taken leave of your senses. It is indeed me, your personal envoy of gloom, doom, destruction, madness, meshugas and snark in the flesh, more or less. I’ll give you a personal update at the end of the editorial but…
The Israel War
UN chief calls for maximum restraint after Iran’s attack on Israel Guterres, speaking to a meeting of the UN Security Council, told member states that the UN charter bars the use of force against the territorial integrity or political independence of any state as he condemned Iran’s attack on Israel and warned against further escalation….
Watermelons vs. Traditional Progressives: Internecine Warfare At The NY Times!
There’s not much better than a nasty little spat in the newsroom of the Old Gray Whore. All of those earnest little communists being pumped out by the “elite” J schools yearn to work for the NYT and transform the fourth estate into the masturbatory fantasies they had in college. Unfortunately for them, and fortunate…
