Bank Bailouts are a Bad Idea

Boy, I bet half of you are already heading for the comments section just from the title. But hear me out. I’m not unsympathetic to the depositors. Silicon Valley Bank had a lot of new start ups as customers. Losing that capital will end many of those businesses – for now. Here’s the thing: leaving more money than was insured in an account is beyond stupid. Did NONE of these folks have the good sense to hire an accountant? No … Continue reading “Bank Bailouts are a Bad Idea”

Leftism is Drowning

Political terminology is ‘definition flexible’. Translation: stupid terms rarely mean the same thing to everyone. Everyone assumes lawyers get Poli Sci degrees as a stepping stone to law school. I suspect that having to constantly define every common term is too annoying for them. Being a good little Poli Sci geek, I will now define my terms. Leftism for the purposes of this discussion is defined as positions on the economic scale that hold to socialism through communism and that … Continue reading “Leftism is Drowning”

Biden to Surrender American Sovereignty in Public Health

Conservatives be crazy. I should know, I’m one. In our present edition of ‘lookie, squirrel’ we have our heroic commentators all up in arms about Biden’s visit to Ukraine. Evidently, trying to shore up his failing administration and making Russia look stupid in the process it a bad thing. Sigh… This kind of thing happens to everyone. Heck, for all I know, they might even have a point, although for the life of me I don’t see it. It’s not … Continue reading “Biden to Surrender American Sovereignty in Public Health”

Don’t Become the Monster: US Edition

The Biden Administration is a train wreck. Get out of its way. That doesn’t mean stay silent or to never criticize. After all, we’d like this particular train wreck to do as little damage as possible. No, it’s a cautionary statement to not become a distraction from just how bad the Biden Admin is all by its little self. Think first, argue later. This little gem is something the Democrats no longer do and that lack has cost them dearly. … Continue reading “Don’t Become the Monster: US Edition”

COVID 19 Time for Truth: US Edition

Below you will find a link to a fairly dry little video of a doctor going over the latest research out of Italy. I fully agree with him that it’s pathetic that we have to wait for Italy to do what EVERY developed nation should have been doing, most especially the US. Here’s the TL;DR: Vitamin D is shown to reduce hospitalization and incidence of death. In normal people speak, vitamin D helps you fight off C19 so that you … Continue reading “COVID 19 Time for Truth: US Edition”

Why Arizona Elections Matter

Simple, letting cheaters get away with it is the same as destroying the system they are cheating within. See you next… Again? Okay, so let’s break it down. If you can guess which cup the pea is under I will give you two dollars. But if you guess wrong you will give me one dollar. Gambling is a lousy way to invest, just so you know. Odds favor the house or the house wouldn’t be in business. But hey, if … Continue reading “Why Arizona Elections Matter”

Protecting American Freedoms is the Best Thing America Can do for the Rest of the World

Obviously. What? That’s not obvious to you? What they heck did they teach you kids in school? Can’t do math, can’t half read, can’t pay attention – How’d you end up worse than MY generation? Seriously, we grew up on Westerns and Tarzan, roaming the neighborhoods until dark, with permanently skinned knees, hyped on boatloads of sugar and watching way too much TV – we were supposed to be the space cases, not you kids! Do yourselves a favor, try … Continue reading “Protecting American Freedoms is the Best Thing America Can do for the Rest of the World”

Joe Liedn

This comes as a surprise to who, exactly? Biden has been in politics for over forty years and the butt of jokes for most of that time. Being a Southerner, I suspect he only survived this long because he came from Delaware – they all knew him and couldn’t find anyone better who’d run in such a tiny state. Okay, that’s probably not what happened. States get a really bad case of ‘familiaritis’ where they continue to elect the same … Continue reading “Joe Liedn”

The Fight for the Speakership is how Politics is Supposed to Work

By the time this posts the fight will probably be over. Most observers expect McCarthy to win. Having seen the results from today’s (Wednesday, January 4) fifth round, I’m not so sure. Regardless, the battle marks a turning point for the Republicans. I’m coming to share the view that the leadership sold out the base during the midterms. That is probably proving to be a huge mistake. The Republican party sold out the Tea Party and tried to ditch the … Continue reading “The Fight for the Speakership is how Politics is Supposed to Work”

It’s About Our Future

America is the most consarned, ornery thickheaded mule of a nation-state ever when it gets that isolationistic bee in its bonnet. Dumbest question I hear conservatives ask is ‘why do WE have to be the world’s policeman’? Simple, it’s us or something MUCH worse. I’d be amazed if we could convince Europe to take the job, let alone pony up for the necessary military costs. However, do we really want the folks that brought us not one but two world … Continue reading “It’s About Our Future”
