The world’s only one man media empire
When Trump increased taxes via tariffs many screamed that it was the largest in history, but now some want to revert back to the old rates. When Trump began slashing the government under DOGE, many of the same people said he was cutting too much, too fast, only to insist the real problem is that… Continue reading The Big, Beautiful Bill is pretty badass, Speaker Johnson delivered for the Trump agenda, and the Senate better get off its ass
What’s the point of prefacing what’s supposed to a celebration of rock and roll, perhaps Mr. Springsteen’s final run considering he will turn 76 later this year, with a political diatribe of largely recycled talking points? Last week, legendary singer, songwriter, and all-around-rocker, Bruce Springsteen chose to open his European “Land of Hope and Dreams”… Continue reading Bruce Springsteen and the now purely performative Resistance
A negotiation over the price of sea shells reveals that value is in the eye of the beholder and as a colleague brilliantly put it when comparing the US to India in general: It doesn’t convert and we can be both different and the same. “Be honest. How bad does it smell there?” The question… Continue reading It does not convert: A few reminisces and observations on my recent trip to India, part one
A trade deal with China, a lower than expected inflation number, and a higher than expected jobs report suggest the experts were wrong once again. As even The New York Times put it recently, “Recession Warnings Are Everywhere, Except in the Data.” Earlier this year, I opined that President Donald Trump’s critics were living in… Continue reading The trade war that didn’t happen has delayed the apocalypse
Senator Bernie Sanders prefers private jets to flying coach for the people and the heir to the Hyatt fortune is now a frontrunner in the new resistance while Democrats outraise and outspend their Republican counterparts from shady big donors. It seems some billionaires and associated luxuries are more equal than others. Last week, democratic socialist… Continue reading This revolution requires private jets and billionaire backers, apparently
Does anyone remember Elon Musk’s supposed Nazi salute? Or when planes were supposedly falling out of they sky in other countries because of President Trump? How about claims the entire government was about to collapse and people were going to die? If President Joe Biden presided over the Era of Perpetual Bailouts, we can confidently… Continue reading The Era of Perpetual Outrage
The great majority of what Democrats claim today, the issues they suddenly consider of the utmost importance, were either ignored or outright lied about throughout recent history beginning with the mental capabilities of President Biden himself, what we might consider the original sin from which all loss of credibility flows. While the opposition party opposes… Continue reading Why Democrats and progressives can’t be taken seriously under any circumstances
Why is Jerome Powell talking about keeping interest rates high in the face of a potentially slowing economy when he’s spent the last three years trying to slow the economy to fight inflation? “We may find ourselves in the challenging scenario in which our dual-mandate goals are in tension,” Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell said… Continue reading The Federal Reserve is a fraud that doesn’t seem to know what inflation actually is
To combat climate change, there was almost no part of your life Democrats and their progressives allies didn’t want to disrupt, from the car you drive to the house you live in to the food you eat, but somehow, this was all good and great, the height of enlightened thinking and if you weren’t completely… Continue reading Reminder: Democrats have called for massive disruption for decades and can’t possibly be taken seriously now
While I’m the first to admit the tariff strategy might backfire and unintended consequences could abound, good economic news outside the stock market is almost everywhere, contrary to the predictions of the experts. Last week, the price of eggs made headlines once again when a report found they broke another record in March, contrary to… Continue reading Only one thing is certain, the media and the experts will keep lying to you repeatedly about the state of the economy and everything else
