Bursting Biden’s Balloon

The Great Balloon Panic of 2023 has mysteriously ended with no explanation for our actions, no details from the administration, and no curiosity from the media whatsoever about why the United States military might have fired a missile at a $12 amateur balloon. It’s been over a week since the US military shot down an… Continue reading Bursting Biden’s Balloon

Science for me, but not for thee, the Ohio train derailment and coronavirus revisited

Thousands of dead fish wash up on the shoreline, and residents complain of sore throats, eyes, and respiratory issues in the wake of a train derailment and the controlled burn of toxic chemicals, but authorities insist everything is safe and they have nothing to worry about.

What the hell is going on over America’s skies?

In barely a week, America’s skies have been transformed into a real-life version of the classic Asteroids video game and there is plenty of reason to believe the Biden Administration might not be completely honest as a Pulitzer Prize winning reporter claims we destroyed the Nord Stream pipelines last year.

Biden’s Trickle Down 2.0

Bursting China’s Balloon

President Biden ultimately made the right call, shooting down the Chinese spy balloon over the Atlantic Ocean, but questions about the past and the future remain.  Why wasn’t he informed for three days?  Why was the prior administration never informed?  What do we do about it now? Last week witnessed what might have been the… Continue reading Bursting China’s Balloon

Tanks and missiles and possibly planes, oh my!

President Biden approves the shipment of M1 Abrams tanks to Ukraine over the objections of his top military advisers and fighter jets are apparently back under consideration.  The media meanwhile has decided that there is no risk of Russian retaliation because these escalations do not meet the experts technical definition of war.  After all, who… Continue reading Tanks and missiles and possibly planes, oh my!

Artificial Intelligence: Government regulation will be a disaster for the next big technological leap

Teddy Roosevelt, beer, and equality under the law

New York City had a drinking problem in 1895, or rather a legal problem concerning drinking because the sale of alcohol was prohibited on Sunday throughout the state. As President of the Police Board of Commissioners, Teddy Roosevelt chose to take on machine politics and the entire city by rigidly enforcing the prohibition as a… Continue reading Teddy Roosevelt, beer, and equality under the law

Classified information here, there, and everywhere

As we learn former Vice President Mike Pence also had classified documents and the National Archives begs former officials to come forward with any other documents that may be missing, it’s become clear that classified materials are everywhere and the government has no control even as everyone acted like they did when former President Trump… Continue reading Classified information here, there, and everywhere

Debt ceiling: Get ready five months of nonsensical bloviating over our insane finances

The names of the politicians in Washington change, but the debt and the debt ceiling keep on increasing at an almost exponential rate, over a monstrous $30 trillion.  Some, however, continue to insist that raising the debt ceiling is just a routine vote that should be accomplished without question, while others claim the idea of… Continue reading Debt ceiling: Get ready five months of nonsensical bloviating over our insane finances
