I did indeed! Because of a prior commitment, I won’t be in my home state of the People’s Republic of New Jersey on election day, and I wouldn’t miss this one for the world! In fact, I would never miss an important election, and almost never have missed even off-year dogcatcher elections. It is the…

Ah…it’s a trifecta of failure! Biden’s magic touch at turning everything he does into a massive, jiggling pile of excrement, the government’s fantastic, wide-ranging skill at being absolutely awful at everything it does, and the delightful frisson of DEI, which always injects additional failure points! Frankly, I’m amazed that they only pissed away $42.5 billion!…

“Illegal Alien” is a legal term to describe someone who has entered this country illegally, or who has overstayed legal, temporary permission to enter the country. There is no racial connotation.

Canada, Mexico, and Australia are the heavy hitters in beef imports to America…the rest of the countries are a small fraction of the total. A combination of robust demand, bad weather, high feed prices, and all of the other factors that make cattle ranching a tough business have conspired to shrink American cattle herds. Canada…

Bombast and hyperbole are some of the hallmarks of president Trump’s communication, but the reality of his administration’s policies are quietly impressive. For instance, this bit of news will get very little airplay among the savagely anti-Trump mainstream media, but it will be a concrete and powerful message to the people who must rely on…

Wars are immensely complicated human endeavors, and the arrogance of assuming that one’s enemy’s plans are understandable and manageable is tremendously dangerous. The ancient Greeks understood that rather well… Hubris –> Atis –> Nemesis –> Tisis That sad progression applies perfectly to Israel’s military and political hierarchy with respect to Hamas and, to a lesser…

While the Archbishop of Canterbury virtue signals his dislike of Jews and Israel by demanding an end to the Gaza war, American churches demand that we block military sales to Israel, and the Pope spouts similar sentiments, Christians are being murdered throughout the world by Muslims who are simply obeying the dictates of their pseudo-religion….

Put those blinders on! Mustn’t see the explosive issue that threatens the survival of the French state! You know, the French state that has cradle-to-grave welfare, and 10% of their population that games that system? Oh, they also are responsible for a huge amount of crime, and no-go zones, and vicious anti-Semitic violence, not to…

Sometimes the conventional wisdom is correct, no matter how much we want it to be wrong. There are two governor races that are being sized up as referendums on the 2026 prospects for the Republican party, but neither race is being taken seriously by the corporate Republican hierarchy, which signals their lack of interest in…
