Good. Ban every gas appliance in new construction, including furnaces and back-up generators. New York voted for this grasping, thieving, lying, corrupt harridan, and they should reap what they have sown. NY fired up over potential gas stove ban: It’s ‘not wanted’ New Yorkers are fired up and releasing steam over their governor’s plans to…

Imagine a Vatican City that had been conquered by a Muslim army 1,000 years after the Sistine Chapel had been built. They built a mosque on top of it, but then were thrown out of the city by a resurgent Christianity. Now multiply the religious importance of the Vatican by 1,000, and you will have…

Chaos…inability to stay on-message…infighting…sniping at fellow Democrats. Why, it almost seems like the Republicans! Mayors Adams and Lightfoot demand Colorado stop sending migrants Colorado Gov. Jared Polis informed New York City this week that he’d be sending more buses full of migrants in the near future. The story made news after Mayor Adams of NYC…

Government reparations is a misnomer. The taxpayers of Los Angeles County are the ones paying the reparations, and I doubt very many of them had anything to do with the government theft of this land in 1924. Was it wrong? Absolutely. But charging the residents of 2023 Los Angeles County for the sins of the…

The Age of fiscal responsibility has passed. We are in a new age of financial chaos, in which our politicians shuffle tax money around to purchase votes from their favored constituencies without even the pretense of restraint. State employee pensions are famously generous; defined benefit pension plans are financially crushing for the states, because the…

Deep Blue states such as CA, NY, and NJ have ridiculous state income tax rates: California tops out at a mind-boggling 13.3%, NY at 10.9%, and NJ at 10.75%. And what do the good citizens of these states get for their hard-earned money that flows into the corrupt and chaotically inefficient state governments? Bums, crime,…

That is my little town’s Christmas tree, at the top of the main street, beautifully decorated by a local tree company (they have done work for me and they are great!). And notice the star at the top? Then Herod, when he had privily called the wise men, enquired of them diligently what time the…

At first glance this is just another ridiculous waste of our money…money we don’t have yet! At the rate the federal government is spending, this money is probably our grandkids’ tax bill for their first jobs out of college (or trade school if they are smart). And of course much of this money will go…
