OH GOD PLEASE GIVE US A RECESSION, AND FAST! This seems to be the underlying wish behind media saturation coverage of last week’s somewhat bad economics news. I think it’s biased wish-fulfillment reportage, and rather embarrassing, given the low unemployment rate and other strong economic indicators. However, I admit to having the same shameful wish, […]
Just control yourselves
What a pathetic mess in Congress around the Ilhan Omar controversy. I can’t be happy that the Dems are getting what they deserve for perpetuating sclerotic leadership — it’s too scary to think they may blow it and hand Trump a second term. The main thing going on here are overly hysterical fears of anti-semitism, […]
Border Ambush – Dems Beware, Pelosi’s Gaffe
See Pelosi’s “immorality” gaffe here. It’s mortifying to watch Trump play the Democrats with the border wall gambit. It’s high stakes stuff, and Trump has significantly raised the game with tonight’s speech and the planned photo op border tour set for Thursday. I really started to worry when I saw the “immorality” sound bite from […]
Trump Drug Plan: Cynical New Opiate for the Masses?
Trump’s conjuring of an immigrant terrorist mob marching for the border was a truly superior and well-time exercise in cynical, evil political manipulation. Yet today’s new drug pricing proposal — while less telegenic — may even be a few notches more evil and cynical. As with many cynical and evil political gestures, the Trump drug […]
Hypocrisy, cowardice, demagoguery and children in cages
The grotesque political charade of children in cages is just another consequence of decades of hypocrisy and cowardice on the issue of immigration. As everyone knows, we have an economy that depends on millions of immigrant workers, documented or not. In compassionate times, we look away. In times of anger, we demonize. Hypocrisy and cowardice […]
Jerusalem: Trump Gives the Finger, Pays off Adelson; Dozens and Dozens Get Shot and Killed
The Jerusalem embassy move is another crude, angry Trump gesture against the political correctness of the elites. It has the added plus for Trump of paying off campaign contributor Sheldon Adelson and the evangelical Mike Pence constituency driven by Millennial visions of the second coming. It’s doubly anti-PC because it is based on a cynical […]
Trump Got Me Out to Vote – And It Wasn’t Election Day Here
Thank you Donald Trump for motivating me to go out and vote on a day when there isn’t even an election in my district! I wanted to go out and vote for Dem. Shelly Mayer in the special election for the 37th senatorial district of New York, but after driving around and a phone call […]
Not Collusion — Just Treason
The point is that it’s treason. Does anyone actually believe that the Trump campaign specifically guided the Russian hackers into the Dem’s servers? A quid pro quo maybe – you dirty trick Dems, we’ll treat you right. More probably just friendly and encouraging back and forth between Trump camp and Russians. And that’s TREASON, because […]
