Is it time to nuke the filibuster from orbit and let partisan politics sort it out?

Should a minority party be able to shutter the government and by their own admission, cause widespread suffering because of a tool some have claimed is a relic of slavery, especially when the nature of that tool has changed dramatically?  Generally speaking, I am a fan of the filibuster.  While the mainstream media and President… Continue reading Is it time to nuke the filibuster from orbit and let partisan politics sort it out?

Biden’s “Sherry Darling” moment at the DNC because Governor Walz is such a Springsteen fan

Sherry won’t abandon her mother, and the speaker is either stuck with the three of them jammed into the same small car, or he can move on, hoping to catch the eye of one of those “girls melting on the beach,” but the Vice President doesn’t have that option when it comes to casting off… Continue reading Biden’s “Sherry Darling” moment at the DNC because Governor Walz is such a Springsteen fan

2024 will not be a good year for electric cars, but of course that has nothing to do with the entire plan or the Biden Administration

These contraptions satisfy next to no one outside of a few specific buyers with unique needs, and, of course, our government overlords that are desperate to restrict our mobility to save the planet. Last week, the rental car giant, Hertz, announced a huge reduction in its electric vehicle fleet, selling some 20,000 cars, about a… Continue reading 2024 will not be a good year for electric cars, but of course that has nothing to do with the entire plan or the Biden Administration

Global warming: No solution is too insane for the “experts”

Genetically mutating humans to eat insects, controlling the clouds and blocking the sun, changing the oceans, and more. The alarmist propose “solutions” more disruptive and damaging than a couple degrees of warming could possibly be. “If we eat less meat, we could significantly reduce our greenhouse gas emissions. Now, some people would be willing to… Continue reading Global warming: No solution is too insane for the “experts”

Biden’s budget is why the debt ceiling exists in the first place

The debt ceiling debate takes a strange turn after President Biden demands something of a duel among budgets without realizing that his own $6.9 trillion monstrosity, which would more than double the entire budget of just six years ago, is why the debt ceiling exists in the first place. Earlier this week, the Republican Speaker… Continue reading Biden’s budget is why the debt ceiling exists in the first place

Biden’s Trickle Down 2.0

The President touted an economic record at the State of the Union address that largely consists of subsidies and contracts paid directly to many of the same large companies he frequently rails against.  These companies will make huge profits and pay executives big money, making it a new incarnation of the much maligned “trickle down”… Continue reading Biden’s Trickle Down 2.0

No, the problem for Democrats isn’t that Americans can’t understand how awesome they are

Recent polls suggesting a 2010 style “shellacking” for Democrats are prompting a range of wild narratives to reframe the midterm elections.  Administration officials and the mainstream media insist that President Biden’s accomplishments are simply too many and too vast to communicate to voters, while Biden himself claims Republicans will crash an economy already in recession.… Continue reading No, the problem for Democrats isn’t that Americans can’t understand how awesome they are

Biden’s celebration of inflation was woefully premature and dramatically out of touch

While the White House was celebrating passage of the Inflation Reduction Act complete with a musical guest, inflation itself continued to ravage the economy and the Dow plunged 1,200 points.  Out of touch barely begins to describe the handling of the looming stagflationary spiral.  The experts missed it 40 years ago and they are missing… Continue reading Biden’s celebration of inflation was woefully premature and dramatically out of touch

The President of the Perpetual Bailout

What do state and local governments, public education, the hospitality industry, the construction industry, the technology industry, the green energy industry, and, most recently, student loan recipients have in common?  They’ve all been bailed out by President Biden, ushering in a new era of perpetual spending, sometimes with no vote in Congress required. Americans are… Continue reading The President of the Perpetual Bailout

Joe Biden is President George Costanza, every instinct he has is wrong

President Biden and the Democrats are poised to pass the poorly named Inflation Reduction Act to much fanfare in the mainstream media, but once upon a time even President Barack Obama knew the last thing you wanted to do was increase taxes in the middle of a recession.  This is Biden’s fourth round of stimulus… Continue reading Joe Biden is President George Costanza, every instinct he has is wrong
