Good morning kids. First, our good friend, the estimable commentator and historian Michael Walsh and his fantastic site The Pipeline are back up and once again diving right into the fray! Welcome back to you and your great crew. So, vile, foul revolting in the extreme Jasmine Crockett once again opened her pie hole to vomit…
The Dow Jones Industrials…aren’t. Most of the stocks that comprise the index are not industrial companies, and the top 10 stock measured by market capitalization are tech and retail heavy. There isn’t a traditional industrial corporation until #13: Chevron, and there are only four more companies that I would consider industrials: Caterpillar (#24), Honeywell (#25),…
Good morning kids. Well, the beat goes on as the song goes, and as the nattering nabobs of negativism in the propaganda press and on the Left continue hammering away at President Trump over his tariff regime, more countries including the EU are now lining up to make a deal with Trump and do away…
Good morning kids. Of course the leading story is the aftermath and reactions to President Trump’s tariff regime announcement last week. Of course. Despite the doom casting and politicization from the usual sources, already 50 countries are crying Uncle Sam and want to negotiate with Trump and team.There are other potentially massive benefits if this…

The late and decidedly unlamented five year or 10 year or 20 year environmental plan of the Biden administration to transform America’s evil addiction to fossil fuels into a beautiful garden of unicorns and pixies and lovely and abundant clean energy ran into two problems: Reality, and Donald Trump. Reality came in the form of…
Podcast: CBD is joined by journalist and film critic Christian Toto, and Jim Lakely of The Heartland Institute. We discuss Hollywood’s contempt for its customers, in particular the catastrophe of Snow White, and whether its failure is a signal of a sea change in Hollywood.
Good morning kids. So Cory Booker, who I see as the poor man’s Barack Obama took to the well of the Senate two nights ago to deliver what amounts to the world’s longest presidential candidacy announcement. How appropriate that he chose April Fool’s Day, for this uncunning stunt. Sen. Cory Booker’s 25-hour congressional floor rant is…
Good morning kids. First up, on a sad note, news broke late last night of the passing of actor Val Kilmer at the age of 65. He was in some of the more iconic pictures of the mid 80s through the 90s, creating some memorable roles and moments on the silver screen. RIP. Well, Wisconsin disappoints…
