THE LEFT WING CABLE NEWS COLLAPSE It’s real… and it’s spectacular! Another couple weeks and it will be possible to fit the entire audience for CNN’s Sunday programming inside the Rose Bowl. DON’T TRUST CHINA, CHINA IS ASSHO Did you know that the IHME’s COVID data site reports that there have only been 4,900 total… Continue reading “Left”-over bits…

Mayor Lori Lightfoot is playing a stupid game…
We shouldn’t play along with her. The game is, if you’re a Left Wing politician and you’re really bad at your job, and the news cycle is turning against you (as things certainly are in America’s murder capital Chicago), distract your enemies and energize your base by saying something radical and maybe even a little… Continue reading Mayor Lori Lightfoot is playing a stupid game…
The Left sold us out
I’m angry… and if you aren’t… why aren’t you? As evidence mounts for the theory that COVID was released from a lab in China, we need to work hard to remind our fellow Countrymen that the entire apparatus of the Left… from the DNC to the Mass Media to Big Tech worked in concert to… Continue reading The Left sold us out
The Prison of the Progressive Mind
There’s a series of ads that has been running here in Los Angeles for a decade or so, paid for by the “Foundation for a Better Life.” Every ad, be it Radio, TV, or Print ends with a single inspirational word… “Integrity” or “Innovation” for example, followed by the encouragement to “pass it on.” One… Continue reading The Prison of the Progressive Mind
The Distinguished Gentleman and Political Money Laundering
Money laundering is the oldest crime in politics (with the possible exeception of assassination). Finding creative ways to funnel cash to supporters in exchange for votes or, even worse, funneling it directly into the pockets of powerful politicians, is a crime as old as our country. Literally… the origins of Tammany Hall and its elaborate… Continue reading The Distinguished Gentleman and Political Money Laundering
Rational Choice in the era of COVID
Getting vaccinated is a rational choice. Not getting vaccinated because you are young and healthy or have had COVID and recovered, is a rational choice. Getting vaccinated and then whining like a little girl because other people won’t wear masks of stay six feet away from you is not a rational choice, and people who… Continue reading Rational Choice in the era of COVID
How bad are award show ratings?
This bad… Like, I’d rather be Joe Biden’s sign language interpreter bad… Entertainment Tonight ran a commercial on Hugh Hewitt’s show Monday morning in which an announcer said “plus… what you didn’t see on the MTV movie and TV awards last night…” “What you didn’t see…” Guys… They know no one is watching. But I… Continue reading How bad are award show ratings?
How the consequences of school closings will be used against us
The closing of American schools over COVID was a disgrace. Yes… yes it was. A year of remote distance learning has been disastrous for all American kids, but all of the available data shows that it’s been even worse for poor kids and kids of color. And a decade from now when we begin to… Continue reading How the consequences of school closings will be used against us
Dementia…
My Grandfather suffered from Dementia in his last few years and something I learned about the condition as we went through it is that one of the hallmarks of Dementia can be a short temper that includes outburts of profanity… Welp… enter Ole Joe… Also, if this kind of behavior can get Scott Rudin cancelled,… Continue reading Dementia…
The ugly hypocrisy of the Progressive blame game
It’s become an article of faith on the Progressive Left that it was not enough to drive Donald Trump from the public square… Trump, it seems, was but a symptom of a larger disease. Turns out that it’s Trump supporters who are the real villains of the story. Trump supporters must be tracked, put on… Continue reading The ugly hypocrisy of the Progressive blame game
