What does Joe Biden's six trillion dollars actually look like?

People — and by people, I mean the Democrats in Washington and their compliant media — have been throwing around the word "trillion" as if it were no big deal.  I'm sorry — it is a very big number and a very ...

Tom Steyer’s tax disclosure is transparent as mud

Tom Steyer, Democrat for President, is confused by the word transparency. He sets up a website titled Transparency that contains ten years of his tax returns -- except it doesn’t. It contains ten years of parts of tax returns that he wants us t...

The best laid plans of mice and Muellers

As they say, the best laid plans of mice and men often go painfully awry.  Robert Mueller is learning that the hard way as he now slithers back into the swamp from whence he came. Let us follow the multi-year course of Mueller...

Paying for Medicare for All

When asked how the Democrats will pay for Medicare for All, the "honest" answer from the DNC CEO, Seema Nanda, was that they didn't know. This isn't actually truthful, because they know what it will take to pay for this mo...

When will the Democrats throw out that old broken record?

Jobs numbers last week didn't meet expectations but were still positive, even before factoring in the reality that we are running out of employees to fill all the available jobs.  In their official response, the Democratic lea...

The Russians hacked my computer, and Trump is doing nothing

Several weeks ago, Russians tried unsuccessfully to hack my computer, and Trump did nothing. When I went into my emails, there was an official-looking email from Microsoft telling me that my service was going to be canceled if I didn't cl...

Talking about aging porn stars

While Trump moves forward with his pledge of making America great again reality and not just letters on a red hat, all the leftist media want to talk about is some aging porn star trying to revive her stripper career, some sort of tax apocalypse...

Trump tax savings and a river in Egypt

Taking their cues from Nancy Pelosi and CNN, leftist Democrats are in denial. I had the opportunity this week to tell a friend of mine, who is a devout leftist, the results of the Trump tax plan on my employees' take-home pay. His respo...

The termites are scurrying to the shadows

Kathy Griffin didn't act alone when she posted that picture of herself with a bloodied disembodied Trump head, and now her cohorts are scurrying to the shadows like termites. There were likely hundreds of people involved, starting with the pho...

Hacksaw Ridge: No snowflakes here

The movie Hacksaw Ridge was snubbed by Hollywood in favor of La La Land, but it's the perfect way to contemplate what Memorial Day is really about.  Unless you're a snowflake, that is. Recently, my wife and I were watch...

The college bowl explains why Hillary Clinton lost

The excuses for why Hillary lost are many, but like in football, if you fumble on your opponent's two-yard line, maybe you don't deserve to win. Consider the University of Michigan vs. The Ohio State University football game Thanksgiving w...

Hillary has gone full Jake Blues

Hillary has more excuses for why she didn't win the election than Jake Blues.  Who can forget that classic scene in the Blues Brothers movie where John Belushi character is staring down a machine gun in a sewer and he tries to explain to his...

Hillary’s friends pay ‘hypothetical’ taxes

The Clintons and Obamas have no bigger supporter and friend than Warren Buffett, and while Hillary is quick to label Trump a tax cheat, he’s a rank amateur compared to folks that donate to her coffers. Looking through Warren Buffett’s ...

Washington's Endgame: First Your Guns, Then Your Cash?

People don't even think of the American dollar much.  Punch a few buttons on an ATM, and twenties appear from a drawer.  We don't think much beyond what cash dollars in our pockets can buy at a particular moment.  In reality, c...

If everybody is making so much more money, why does the economy still suck?

The Census Bureau reported an unprecedented increase in household income in the last year, but it just doesn't pass the smell test.  Is it possible that the Obama administration is trying to stack the deck for Hillary?  Liberal media ou...

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar exposes Democrat Party's racist past

A tale of two movies

One of the silliest movies ever to hit the theatres is coming out this weekend.  It’s a movie based on Obama’s and Michelle’s first date.  My only interest in this movie is to see if it exceeds the box office success of Di...

A Speech for the Ages Analyzed

Michelle Obama gave a speech at the DNC convention that her adoring media and minions described as remarkable, memorable, a speech for the ages, an absolute home run, and Reagan-esque, among countless more proclamations and platitudes. The first l...

The RNC Convention through Mainstream Media Eyes

I’m one of those rare few who don’t believe in paying for television or radio, so most of my updates on the RNC convention came via network news, public television, public radio and a smattering of Liberal-leaning websites. Since it...

The bar for POTUS is set low indeed

Apparently, the bar for being president of the United States is set extremely low these days.  Bill Clinton just had to wipe the occasional stain off a dress or tie.  Obama just has to talk passionately and recite big words as they scroll a...

New liberal agenda on full display at Trump-less Miss USA pageant

Yes, I watched the Miss U.S.A. pageant with my daughters. I’m man enough to admit it -- I hope without coming off as metro-sexual although my kids did buy me pajamas identical to Pajama Boy’s. Not unexpectedly, given the new ownership,...

Title IX language: Hope on the transgender bathroom issue

Why exactly should we vote for a candidate?

If I am a true conservative or liberal Progressive, I should not feel as though I need to settle for the person that is least likely to lose. Did we vote for Reagan on a platform of "at least he might not lose"?  Did Progressives vo...

America the Place vs. America the Idea

On NPR news last week there were two reports coming out of Greece that I had trouble reconciling. The first was Greece’s $85 billion bailout resulting in the Greek PM stepping down. Greece isn’t just broke, it’s broken. And yet...

Next Time You See a Soldier in the Airport, Say Thank You

I’m a woos. A wimp. I admit it. A private fresh out of boot camp has more courage in his pinkie fingernail than I do in my entire being.   I could never imagine putting myself in harm’s way for my country the way our young men and...

'My problem with Cruz is that he's very, very smart'

If establishment pundits can’t deny a Republican’s intelligence, then they have to claim his intelligence is a problem. The other day, NPR’s Robert Siegel assembled his usual suspects from the New York Times, Washington Post and ...

Obama's Incredible Shrinking Economy

Healthcare.gov Is Who's on Third

The Figures are In!

Obama's operatives in the White House and the media will be going out of their way to put lipstick on this piggy, but no matter what shade you use, that swine is still painfully ugly. The long-awaited figures show that 26,794 people "bought" health ...

The IPCC needs Obama's team of spin masters to survive their latest report

Obama's spin machine has come to POTUS's rescue many times. Now they need to come to the rescue of the International Panel on Climate Change. The global cooling deniers at the IPCC need just that kind of spin given the fact that they can't reconci...

Obama shows us what he's made of

Usually, dudes like to puff and flex and show off their man-toys in an attempt to promote their virility and manliness. Not Obama. When he threw down the gauntlet in front of Assad and Congress a couple weeks ago, Obama wasted no time showing just...

Liberal Hypocrisy, Krugman-Style

Nobel laureate Paul Krugman's blog is titled "The Conscience of a Liberal."  Apparently, a liberal like Krugman has no conscience -- otherwise, he would recognize his own blatant hypocrisy. He must be a super-smart economist if he can pack so ...

Many Questions, No Answers

CBO gives Obama's stimulus an F

Compromising with Obama

The Republicans need to realize that compromising with Obama is a battle that they just cannot win. Obama has his Chicago spin machine controlling the messaging and he has the adoring Liberal media in his back pocket. When it comes to taxes, Obama's ...

Just the facts please

In all fairness, I vow to be an impartial, independent fact checker. First Mitt Romney. This week Governor Romney was caught shaking hands with a supporter and saying "Good morning". Now while it was technically still morning it was 11:30, and as yo...

Obama can run from the press but he can't hide

Romney met with reporters and took loaded questions from the media and responded to all of their queries before he left. This is something he has done many times over the last several months but this time it was a little different. As reported h...

Fact checking the fact checkers

Fact checkers have been getting a lot of attention recently as the line between fact checking and personal interpretation have become more blurred. I first noticed this in the results of the "fact checking" of Ryan's acceptance speech. In every c...

You're a Racist and You Didn't Even Know It

Survivor 2012: Wisconsin

The Republicans in Michigan are getting it done. Why can't Obama?

Michigan's Republican Governor, Rick Snyder, didn't just balance the budget. He's putting $130,000,000 into a rainy day fund. Maybe Obama, Harry Reid and the Senate Democrats should take notice. Snyder inherited a Michigan economy that was bleedi...

The Do-Nothing Democrats
