Buddy Brown became a country music star on his own terms, but it wasn’t by choice.

Amuse Me, Eurotrash Oval Office occupier Joe Biden’s trip to Cornhole, England or something has given the sputtering leftist rump kissers in the mainstream media a chance to fall back on one of their favorite idiotic narratives: the world loves our presidents when they’re Democrats, and hates them when they’re Republican.

This week, three members of an 11 member FDA advisory committee of experts resigned in protest over the FDA’s approval of Aduhelm (aducanumab) for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease.

How’s this for elitism? On Thursday “All In” MSNBC host Chris Hayes sought to downplay the rising inflation that is striking at the wallets of consumers.

Raiders of the Lost Ark turns 40 on Saturday, and does that ever make me feel both old and nerdy. I must confess two things before we get to the meat of this column. The first is that I’m such a movie buff that I actually caught Raiders a few days before it was released
