Good morning kids, and a very Happy Thanksgiving to you all! It’s one thing to mindlessly shriek at Lake Michigan because someone you’ve been brainwashed into believing is literally Hitler won the closest thing to a landslide presidential election which perhaps is an utter rejection of the shriekers’ warped worldview. Sure we can laugh at these…
Good morning kids. On the latest edition of our podcast, we discussed the notion of a sea change in the American psyche vis a vis how we as a people, especially those on the opposite end of the political spectrum than us on the right, view government and what the relatively-speaking landslide victory for Donald Trump means…
Tariffs as an instrument of economic policy are problematic. They will shift costs to imports, but they may dampen total economic activity, or at the very least shift capital to possibly less cost-efficient manufacturing. But that is an economist’s discussion, and we will need several hands to do it correctly. As an instrument of foreign…
Good morning kids. So, among some pretty big stories in the links is that the execrable hack Stalinist show trial prosecutor Jack Smith has folded up his tent and ended the groundless, baseless case against Donald Trump. The estimable Daniel Greenfield describes it perfectly: The abandonment of the Trump cases simply signals that the ‘resistance’ is…
Good morning kids. Hope you all had a nice, restful weekend, as we are now in the run-up to the Thanksgiving holiday. Sorry to have to be the bringer of dyspepsia, but hey, it’s my job! So let us dive right in to the deep end. For those of you fortunate enough not to recognize…
Good Morning Kids. Lots going on to talk about, first and foremost more than two weeks after what was both a massive victory for Trump and a concomitant rebuke of Democrat failure, Bob Casey the soon-to-be ex Senator from Pennsylvania has finally conceded to Republican Senator-elect Dave McCormick. By some miracle enough ballots to overcome…
The headlong rush to envelop the world in war continues apace. Ukraine wants it to expand so NATO rushes to its rescue, and the Biden/Obama junta wants to create chaos for the incoming Trump administration while simultaneously pleasing the neo-neocons who never saw a war (and rising defense industry profits) and graft they didn’t like….
Good Morning Kids. Wow, it really is great to be back up and running. Being off a day here and there is a good thing, but to be away for so long, especially as the election loomed and then passed was gnawing at me. Thank you for your patience and understanding, and a big thanks…
The Biden/Obama junta’s last gasp of relevance is functionally identical to a toddler smashing his toy because he didn’t get the correct scoop of ice cream. There is no logic to our Ukraine policy, other than a maniacal drive to fatten the coffers of the defense industry and their grifting, grasping, graft beneficiaries, while simultaneously…
Let’s be honest. Donald Trump is a sh*tty anti-Semite…he is a shitty totalitarian…he is a sh*tty misogynist. And worst of all? He is a sh*tty warmonger! Everything he touches turns to…peace? What the hell! We were promised Armageddon, WWIII, armies of White Supremacists marching through the streets. And what do we get? Zelensky Says Trump’s…
