Thirty two days can’t be described as the end of an era, but we have reached the end of the CNN+ error. Just over a month after the streaming channel debuted, it bombed spectacularly and ended, officially, on Thursday. Last week, we brought you the things that lasted longer than CNN+. (New Coke, the marriage of

We are having some fun this week. We began talking about Elon Musk and Twitter, which has been more fun than getting paid to hang out at an amusement park. Little known fact: liberal tears are rich in vitamins and minerals. via GIPHY As a special treat for our dear VIP friends, Kevin and I

San Francisco’s $160 million supportive housing program provides rooms in 70 single-occupancy hotels run by local nonprofits to the city’s homeless in an effort to help them gain enough stability to find their own housing independently.  The hotels are plagued with crime, violence, drug overdoses, rat infestations and unsanitary living conditions, a San Francisco Chronicle

On Thursday, the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) reported that the United States’ Gross Domestic Product contracted by 1.4 percent in the first quarter of 2022, a full 2.4 percent off from economists’ expectations.  After ignoring the latest round of bad economic news for the Biden administration, ABC’s World News Tonight and CBS Evening News attempted

I’ve written a few things about some of the juicy nuggets contained in the book This Will Not Pass: Trump, Biden, and the Battle for America’s Future, written by New York Times reporters Alexander Burns and Jonathan Martin, which is set for release next week. One claim made by the book is that Nancy Pelosi assessed

Sometimes I’m asked to recommend economics books for people. This is hardly a chore, because recommending books is one of my favorite things to do. Mike Rowe will tell you the book to read above all others is Economics in One Lesson, the masterpiece written by FEE founder Henry Hazlitt. I really can’t argue with

The Biden administration formalized its war against so-called disinformation.  Politico outlined the new Disinformation Governance Board’s (DGB) purpose to “coordinate countering misinformation related to homeland security, focused specifically on irregular migration and Russia.” The outlet also noted that Nina Jankowicz who advised the Ukrainian government and served as a disinformation fellow at the Wilson Center

Could this be why panicky Democrats are creating a Ministry of Truth? Is the truth about the 2020 presidential election — “the most secure election in history” — finally coming out? Large cracks are appearing in the Leftist dam of information, and the narrative is getting closer to collapse by the day. Very few Americans

Salmonella With Your Salad? Study Reveals Dozens Of Harmful Bacteria On ‘Healthy’ Vegetables Harold Hutchison on April 28, 2022 The organic lettuce you bought to make a salad may make you sick, according to a preliminary study released this month by a Spanish university.

I love Wikipedia. I donated thousands of dollars to the Wikimedia Foundation. Before Wikipedia, all we had were printed encyclopedias — out of date by the time we bought them. Then libertarian Jimmy Wales came up with a web-based, crowd-sourced encyclopedia. Crowd-sourced? A Britannica editor called Wikipedia “a public restroom.” But Wales won the battle.

As Dr. Anthony Fauci finally admitted Tuesday night on PBS Newshour that the United States is now past the pandemic stage of the coronavirus, it’s important to reflect on how much the country has changed in recent years. Many people quip that 2019 could be considered the “good old days,” especially for Millenials and Generation

Most relatively capitalist countries are engaged in a massive wealth redistribution scheme: corporate subsidies. In 2015, the University of Sheffield estimated that the UK government was giving British companies £93 billion ($118 billion) in corporate subsidies each year. In 2020, companies in the agricultural industry received $46 billion in subsidies (aggregate numbers were not easily

One of the ways the liberal media will throw mud at new Twitter owner Elon Musk is to accuse him of endangering people with his free speech. Beware the right-wing mobs! Early on Wednesday, The Washington Post dropped this attack: Elon Musk boosts criticism of Twitter executives, prompting online attacks The targeting of employees by

I voted for Mitt Romney once. I was quite enthusiastic about it, too. Okay, okay, I should point out that it was years ago. He was running for governor of Massachusetts, and I had only graduated from college about six months earlier. I was a kid then. Who knew then what Romney would become and

The National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) put out a new batch of campaign ads Wednesday tying vulnerable House Democrats to rising inflation. The ads targeted 10 members of Congress and cited estimates from a Bloomberg article published in March that inflation will lead the average American household to pay an extra $5,200 per year, or

On MSNBC’s MTP Daily, host Chuck Todd wailed that the Republican Party was “built on a lie” and was “gonna get power based on a lie” in November’s midterm elections. Todd and his panel of liberal journalists were expressing frustration that voters don’t seem to care about the Democratic Party’s partisan congressional investigation into January

Throughout Donald Trump’s presidency, it seemed like any action he did was almost immediately challenged in the courts. Liberal groups filed lawsuits in jurisdictions with judges friendly to their causes and successfully managed to thwart Trump. One of the most troublesome actions by the judiciary against Trump didn’t even involve one Democrat-nominated activist judge but

Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas insisted during a House Homeland Security Committee hearing Wednesday that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) will still maintain control of the border amid the expected tidal wave of migrants following the end of Title 42. “It is our responsibility to maintain operational control of the border. That is

Who knew that NASCAR, of all organizations, maintains a gulag for political criminals? It’s true. The sport of good ol’ boy bootleggers is now run by humorless apparatchiks enforcing speech codes. According to Yahoo, “NASCAR on Tuesday ordered Denny Hamlin to begin sensitivity training this week after he posted an anti-Asian meme from the television

Hunter Biden may be under investigation by the Joe Biden administration, but have no fear: Attorney General Merrick Garland promised there would “not be interference of any political or improper kind.” Garland, the hackiest of political hacks serving in the Biden administration, made the promise on Tuesday when he appeared at a Senate Appropriations Committee hearing. Sen.

Twitter’s top lawyer, Vijaya Gadde apparently broke down crying during a meeting with staff on Monday after news of billionaire Elon Musk’s acquisition of the company broke, according to a Tuesday report from Politico. This is the same lawyer who decided to crackdown and purge the Hunter Biden laptop story before the 2020 election and

Look, we have to milk this for as long as we can. Elon Musk could turn out to be a total disappointment in regards to Twitter, but I like what he says he wants to do with it. He’s also pretty good at the space company thing. For the moment, I’m a fan. via GIPHY

I saw a meme that resonated with today’s insanity. It basically said that in twelve years, the political left has gone from anti-war, anti-pharma, and pro-worker to the complete opposite. It;s actually an incredible feat, and if I didn’t know any better I’d say someone had bet a dollar they couldn’t get the sheeple to

Philip Rieff (right) speaks on a 1967 panel on “The New Left and the American Consensus.” (Denver Post via Getty Images) There is a fundamental and fundamentally appealing insight at the heart of left-liberalism, as distinguished from classical liberalism or libertarianism, namely, that human societies should be caring and nurturing, integrating more and more of

That free-speech thingy is okay, but not if it’s mean to women! That was Morning Joe‘s general take today on Elon Musk’s takeover of Twitter.  During its segment on the situation, the show ran a clip of a “reporter” interviewing Brianna Wu, a video-game developer and harsh Musk critic.

In 2019, the Trump administration initiated a policy that kept those seeking asylum in the United States in Mexico until their cases could be heard. Named “Migrant Protection Protocols (MPP),” the first thing the Biden administration did when it got into office was to try to end the program unilaterally. But the MPP came about
