What is it with Commies and New World Orders? One week Biden is pitching a new world order and next week it’s Russia. Utopian political messianism is a hell of a drug. It also seems to make the users dumber. Russia’s Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov promoted a new “world order” with China on Wednesday ahead…

Marvel’s movie sausage factory has scored over $25 billion worldwide. Disney’s theme parks are still profitable, in the billions, but they’re one of the least profitable elements of the Mouse Empire. (Forget Mickey and Donald, even Disney may not be able to bribe enough D.C. politicians to hang on to the IP rights.) Disney still…

The phrase, “Hoist on your own petard” comes from Hamlet. The Southern Poverty Law Center comes from a direct mail scam run by a KKK lawyer. What’s the relevance, you ask?  When you spend all your time accusing others of racism, it’s bound to boomerang. SPLC Union members protested outside of their employer’s office Monday…

Good news everybody.  Oil price worries are a thing of the past. No, Joe isn’t about to authorize domestic drilling. But he’s going to release 1 million barrels of oil.

I’ve resisted tweeting, posting, and writing about the latest stupid thing everyone is supposed to be discussing until now. And the only thing I have to say about it now (and probably the only thing worth saying…

Another data point for the preference cascade. In Jan, 20% of Americans thought COVID was the most important problem facing Americans, in Feb it was 13%, and in March, it’s down to 3%.  Tied with health care and lack of energy sources. Inflation has gone from 8% to 10% to 17%. The economy is at…

In the New York City mayoral race, the Dems were fortunate enough that Eric Adams, an anti-crime candidate, became the nominee, rather than the AOC-backed troll, and that the GOP candidate, who should have been able to deliver a compelling anti-crime message based on his history instead proved to be erratic, awkward, and past his…

All better now. The Federal Election Commission has fined the Democratic National Committee and Hillary Clinton’s 2016 campaign for lying about the funding of the infamous, and discredited, Russian “dossier” used in a smear attempt against Donald Trump weeks before he shocked the world with his 2016 presidential victory. The election agency said that Clinton…
