FADE IN: INT – OVAL OFFICE – DAY (POST-LID) Three of Biden’s ADVISORS are seated around the coffee table with JEN PSAKI. JOE BIDEN is behind the Resolute Desk. He’s asleep… and he’s snoring. PSAKI: Guys, people are starting to ask me about raging inflation, the plunging stock market, gas lines, and the war in… Continue reading Joe Biden’s terrible, horrible, no-good very bad week: A play in one act

I just had a wild thought…
What if the strange prudishness and over-the-top political correctness that we see in teenagers these days is actually an evolutionary survival strategy desgined to protect them in an era of ubiquitous video cameras, social media and a ruthless Cancel Culture? I’ve posed this concept to a few people whose opinions on childhood development I respect,… Continue reading I just had a wild thought…
George was right (#8773)
Holy crap! That was fast! It was literally Monday when I posted that we would soon see agents of the Palace Guard Press trying to manipulate the Inflation numbers by pulling out the products whose prices are rising fastest. I just didn’t think they’d be so open about it. I mean, thank god none of… Continue reading George was right (#8773)
Top o’ the world, Ma!
Perhaps it is inevitable that there is almost no place on Earth, except perhaps the bottom of the Marianas Trench, COVID will not eventually infect. However… there’s being cautious and then there’s being silly. Remember when Trump banned air travel from China? Well… not to be outdone, China is going to put some kind of… Continue reading Top o’ the world, Ma!
The “Welfare Queen” goes mainstream
In the 70’s and 80’s, folks on the side of fiscal and personal responsibility tried to make the argument against a massive Welfare State by discussing the idea of incentives. It was argued that if you pay people not to work, they won’t work. And if you, say, pay people to have children outside of… Continue reading The “Welfare Queen” goes mainstream
Joe Biden’s coming Inflation “solution”
At some point Joe Biden is going to have to realize that the Inflation sparked by his profligate spending and deep misunderstanding of the underpinnings of our Economy is causing real problems for the implementation of his agenda, to say nothing of his re-election, and he’s going to decide that he has to do something… Continue reading Joe Biden’s coming Inflation “solution”
George was right (#8132)
Yesterday I published a post about how even though I know deep in my heart that the Democrats don’t understand one damned thing about how the Economy works, I am neverthelesss always surprised by the sheer audacity of their failures when put in charge of growing or fixing the American Economy. They keep going back… Continue reading George was right (#8132)
Today’s “surprising” jobs numbers
I remember sitting on a dock at a fishing camp in Southern Louisiana just after Barack Obama won in 2008 chatting politics with some members of my extended family. None of us had voted for Obama and we all had hopes that the GOP would regroup and take the House in 2010 and maybe the… Continue reading Today’s “surprising” jobs numbers
Brilliant!
Congressman Mike Gallagher from Wisconsin was on with Hugh Hewitt this morning and said something that I think ought to become like a new National Motto for The United States, at least through the midterms. He said: “China gave the World a Virus; America gave the World a vaccine.” Holy crap, that’s good! Spread it… Continue reading Brilliant!
IHME quietly drops one of its original COVID metrics
I’ve been checking the IHME COVID stats site almost every day since the pandemic began. I did this for a couple reasons… one, I’m a total stat junkie and I love staring at Data Sets to try and pull out useful information. And two, because so much of the panic porn I was seeing in… Continue reading IHME quietly drops one of its original COVID metrics
