It’s sad when Dems root for a recession
Cheering for a recession suggests you have no better arguments, and there is something to that.

So now we know, Kamala Harris has turned left and rolled the dice by selecting leftist, two-term Minnesota governor Tim Walz. Harris is already being portrayed by Republicans as the “most liberal U.S. senator,” one of the coastal elites. Harris is to the left of Joe Biden, and has
Politics
It’s official! 2024 has just passed 1968 as the most fucked exciting election in American history. In 1968, President Lyndon Baines Johnson bowed out in March, leaving lots of time for Democrats to pick another candidate. They chose the vice president, Hubert H. Humphrey. And they lost. No, I

Joe Biden decides this is the right time to float the idea of Supreme Court “Reform”? As recently as last year, he opposed trying to reform the court, including by expanding the court’s membership. Now, he’s contemplating establishing term limits, an enforceable ethics code, plus some other changes,

I’m not going to go all Socialist on you — although some of you would like that — but I am going to kick around the idea of what is a “fair” amount of income tax to saddle impose on the rich. And my case in point will be Elon Musk,
Donald J. Trump
I recently got back in touch with one of my oldest friends — from junior high school — and in the course of getting reacquainted, I mentioned another old friend, a mutual acquaintance, who supports Donald J. Trump. How can that be, my friend asked? I don’t understand his appeal and

Let’s talk about lies, and where some lead. “There are three types of lies,” said Benjamin Disraeli, “lies, damn lies, and statistics.” I disagree, at least as far as the media is concerned. I think there are black lies, white lies and casual lies, the last being the most

The current turmoil in the Middle East is, as usual, a Goddamn shame, and some Americans, including Leftist Jews such as Bernie Sanders (not a practicing Jew) are urging the U.S. to take an “evenhanded approach” to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. To which I reply — why? Create an equivalency between
Joe Biden
Today I am putting on my political advisor hat and will stage an intervention to rescue Joe Biden from the fracking fracas. Part of the problem is of his own making, when he answered “yes” when asked if he would ban fracking. Here is what he should have said, and
Coronavirus
I tuned into the Tuesday Senate committee hearing mostly to hear Dr. Anthony Fauci, the most plain-spoken member of America’s medical team. Several of his comments were newsworthy, but the show was stolen by Democratic Virginia Sen. Tim Kaine. He posted a graphic (above) that stunned me: In a

Before the pandemic that turned America upside down, the bag of squirrels that was the Democratic presidential campaign presented a choice between “moderates” and “progressives.” (I’m using quotes because who knows what those terms actually mean.) As I look back at what happened, there were several waves. I am
Coronavirus
Let’s look at the new economy, being shaped by World War III, against the coronavirus. If 78% of Americans were living paycheck-to-paycheck before World War III started, where are they now, when so many are receiving no paycheck? If only 39% of Americans could withstand a $1,000 emergency
