There may be good news and bad news for the Democrat Party regarding current (but, I suspect, not for long) DNC Vice Chair David Hogg. The good news? There may be a way they can get rid of this serial loser before he wreaks more damage on the party. The bad news? The reason they might be able to de-Hogg themselves is that the party acted in a way that, had it been done by anyone else, would...

Adding to the two trillion or so dollars already committed to US enterprise – mostly from foreign countries looking to avoid the tariffs imposed by President Trump – we have this, from Michael Schwarz’s article for the Western Journal, via msn.com: In a statement issued Monday, manufacturing giant IBM announced a $150 billion investment in the United States. That commitment...
Today’s quote comes to us from Donald Trump Jr. Mr Trump’s quote references comments by jay robert pritzker (who likes to be known as “jb”), the Governor of Illinois. On Sunday, pritzker was speaking in New Hampshire – a place that has one of the earliest presidential primaries in the country (“jb”, you see, seems to think he is presidential...
Here is your answer, drawn from the latest post at confoundedinterest.com: DOGE is working: in Q1, US debt funding needs were $2BN less than the Treasury forecast in February, and in Q2 the Treasury is expected to need $53 billion less than it forecast 3 months ago. The result? Wow. How many Teslas would you have to key to get to those numbers? Just asking….
Michael Carney had no business winning Canada’s general election and becoming its new Prime Minister. His party’s predecessor, Justin Trudeau, was immensely unpopular and the people wanted a change. So how come he won? It seems clear that the one and only reason that a seemingly impossible gap in voter sentiment could be overcome by Carney was Donald Trump. That big, uncontrolled...
Answer: In March, Border Patrol encountered just 7,181 illegal immigrants at the southern border. Compared to the same month under Biden, that represents a 95% decrease from 2024 (137,473), a 96% decrease from 2023 (163,672), and a 97% decrease from 2022 (211,181). The Los Angeles Times reports “migrant crossings have slowed to a near halt” along the California-Mexico border, where...
No commentary from me on this one. Just the link to what appears to be a truly informative article that lays out the facts regarding our trade status with Canada clearly and completely. Here it is: Take a look and see if you agree.
Here, in its entirety, is Daniel Greenfield’s article at frontpagemag.com, describing how UCLA, its campus “security” and Los Angeles authorities “handled” the anti-Israel/pro-hamas riots on its campus: During the UCLA Hamas riots, it was routine for the terrorist supporters to mace and assault Jewish community members and students. And for campus security to refuse...
Today’s quotes (there are two of them) come to us from Michael Hardaway, former Communications Director for House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) and from New York Times “journalist” David Brooks. It seems Mr. Hardway is miffed over the arrest of Milwaukee County Judge hannah dugan, who was arrested on Friday and charged with obstruction of an official proceeding on...
Did you know they held the White House Correspondents Dinner last night? I didn’t until I read it this morning. How did what has always been a major league political/media event turn into a little-league nothingburger? Maybe because, as in his first term, President Trump did not attend. And this year, probably due to the controversy over comments made by them in previous years, there was no...
Here is today’s quote: “You need to negotiate trade systems with the US at the earliest possible (opportunity). If you delay, it hurts everyone.” That’s some quote. It pretty clearly says that President Trump’s tariffs have given the United States the upper hand, and that it would be highly beneficial for countries which trade with the U.S. to strike a bargain with him...
A lot has been made over the past several months about popular discontent with the leadership of Iran. Could this be the final straw that causes the people to uprise and overthrow these terrorist murderers? From an unbylined article at Reuters: DUBAI, April 26 (Reuters) – A huge blast on Saturday likely caused by the explosion of chemical materials stored at Iran’s biggest port...
david hogg, an unaccomplished loser who, despite his resuméless resumé, somehow keeps getting himself in situations that generate a lot of publicity, looks like his latest failure just might lose him the plum position of DNC Vice President. From Lauren Gambino’s article at The Guardian, via msn.com: Ken Martin, the chair of the Democratic National Committee, has announced a proposal...
Is this just an anecdotal little (well, not little) blip on the radar screen, or the start of a trend; one which China has to be dreading? From Munsif Vengattil’s article at finance.yahoo.com: Apple aims to make most of its iPhones sold in the United States at factories in India by the end of 2026, and is speeding up those plans to navigate potentially higher tariffs in China, its main...
My newly deserved congratulations to Yale University. Why? This excerpt from Jamie Joseph’s article at Fox News, via msn.com, should give you the answer: Yale University revoked the status of a registered pro-Palestinian student group this week, saying it “flagrantly violated the rules” and set up an unauthorized encampment to protest Israel and blocked Jewish students from...
