“I absolutely love seeing the left-wingers and corporate media squirm and whine about deportations, I really do. Every little story about how someone who ‘never did nothing to nobody’ that ends with someone here unlawfully makes me smile. ‘No one is above the law,’ Democrats routinely say without irony, which is fighting harder than they fight for anyone other than child genital mutilation to keep gang members, wife beaters and any other kind of illegal [sic] alien from being subjected to our laws. They hate you, they hate us, they hate everything and want to see whatever they can’t control be destroyed so they can replace it with institutions designed to make you subservient to them. And third-worlders who can’t speak English or even read in their own language will always be subservient/obedient to them. This is why I’m hopeful about the midterms.” (11/30/25)

“Never a dull moment in the news coming out of the White House. Today, we learned that President Donald Trump suddenly declared that 92% of former President Joe Biden’s signatures will be voided due to the prior administration’s use of the Auto Pen. Trump claims that Biden’s Executive Orders are null and void as the Auto Pen was not used with his direct authorization, but became a ‘rubber stamp’ used by unelected staffers of the Biden administration, and Joe Biden did not know what was being signed. As an American, I usually cringe at the chaos of politics, but this situation rips the mask off something we’ve been warning about for decades: The Administrative State is running on autopilot, and not in a good way.” (11/28/25)
“Interest rate direction is central to modern U.S. monetary policy, and the last two decades, that direction’s been mostly downward. The Federal Reserve drove the federal funds rate to near zero in late 2008, kept it there for seven years, and rates have stayed unusually low through this decade. As the Fed now approaches its December meeting, it’s once again weighing the health of the dollar (which demands raising rates) against the loose money policies benefitting the stock and housing markets by lowering them once again. It raises the question of which demographics the Fed really wants to serve.” (11/28/25)
“In an era where ‘democratic socialism’ has gained renewed traction among politicians, activists, and intellectuals, one might assume the term carries a clear, operational meaning. Yet, a closer examination reveals a concept shrouded in ambiguity, often serving as a rhetorical shield rather than a blueprint for policy. Proponents often invoke it to promise equality and democracy without the baggage of historical socialist failures, but this vagueness undermines serious discourse. Precise definitions are essential for theoretical, empirical, and philosophical scrutiny. Without them, democratic socialism risks becoming little more than a feel-good label, evading accountability while potentially eroding the very freedoms it claims to uphold.” (11/28/25)
“Painted figures haunt an empty building. A boy leaning on a pair of crutches. A father and son wandering a barren railroad track. A nuclear family at a picnic table. These poignant scenes were painted by two of the foremost American artists of the twentieth century, Ben Shahn and Philip Guston. No one is around to see them. They are on the walls of the Wilbur J. Cohen Building in Washington, DC, one of forty-five federal properties currently earmarked for sale. The staff who worked in the building have been mostly fired, furloughed, or relocated. Only the murals remain—and perhaps not for long. The Cohen Building has been called ‘the Sistine Chapel of the New Deal’ for its ambitious mural cycles.” (11/30/25)

“Until the Supreme Court decides whether Trump’s tariffs are constitutional, American businesses are stuck in limbo — and the best way out invites antitrust scrutiny. … Home Depot and its subsidiary entered into an agreement to acquire building materials distributor Gypsum Management & Supply. This move consolidates their supply chain for building materials, including drywall, ceilings, and steel framing. Likewise, this summer, Walmart opened its first beef facility to create ‘more resiliency in [its] supply chain.’ … If SCOTUS finds that Trump’s tariffs are legal, these mergers could be the first of many among American businesses. In that case, antitrust regulators pose a real risk to the economy.” (11/28/25)
“Sorry, cows. The planet comes first. I don’t want to give the wrong impression. No order has been issued requiring Danish farmers to kill their cows. The state is merely requiring that they feed the cows poison. The purpose of the wonder-additive, Bovaer, produced by a company called Elanco Animal Health, is to limit the methane that cows produce as they digest their food. Then, says Elanco, the amount of methane that the cows emit — by a method too indelicate to mention — will be reduced 30 percent. Elanco must have done some kind of testing to figure this out, I suppose. What is the point, though? Why does anybody want to accomplish this?” (11/28/25)

“The Two percent inflation target — monetary policy’s sacred commandment for three decades — has become structurally impossible to achieve. Not because central bankers lack skill, but because every attempt to hit the target destroys the financial architecture that previous monetary expansion built. This is the endgame of central planning: a system that cannot tolerate its own success criteria without collapsing.” (11/28/25)
“It’s long past time America’s immigration optimists and restrictionists came to an arrangement. For a decade now, these two groups have been locked in an impassioned, sometimes vicious battle over how best to preserve the country they both cherish. And for the most part, that fight has taken place within the confines of the GOP — the only party ready, willing and able to have an honest conversation about migration and its downstream effects on America’s very character. On Wednesday, that fight resumed in earnest when Rahmanullah Lakanwal, an Afghan national who came to the United States amid the Biden administration’s chaotic withdrawal from his country [and was granted asylum by the Trump administration], allegedly opened fire on two National Guard troops in Washington, DC.” (11/28/25)

“Overshadowed by the recent revelations in the Epstein files, the 62nd anniversary of President John F. Kennedy’s assassination came and went with little notice. Yet new documents relating to that still-unsolved murder — released only recently by the Trump administration — deserve far more scrutiny than they have received from corporate media.” (11/28/25)
