Before we get started this week, I want to show you a chart:Now, if this chart showed the stock price of a company, would you want to invest in it?If it’s the price of a commodity, would you be a buyer?What if you were already heavily invested in this enterprise? Would you hold on and hope for better days ahead? Or would you look at that long downward slide and cut your losses, just walk away?Now, when I say “long downward slide,” I do mean long. Here’s a bit more information…The chart above includes data for over a century –...

It took 15 ballots and the full first week of the 118th Congress to finally elect GOP Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) as Speaker of the House, but crossing the finish line doesn't mean the new speaker's work opening the new Congress is close to being done. The negotiations that took place on the margins of the public House floor spats between Republicans included several provisions that were worked into the House rules package — the document adopted at the beginning of each Congress that sets the ground rules for how the lower chamber will function for the next two years....

Former Republican Sen. Ben Sasse of Nebraska resigned Sunday as he prepares for his next position as president of the University of Florida, which he begins Feb. 6. “thrilled to join Gator Nation in February — very excited about the work ahead,” he tweeted on Nov. 9 after the Florida Board of Governors confirmed him in a 16-1 vote. “Melissa and I have had the great honor of serving Nebraskans in the Senate these 8 yrs — I will finish out the upcoming lameduck session and resign in the first week of January.” “thrilled to join Gator Nation in February...

"INSPIRATIONAL HOLIDAY VIDEO" — A Bad Lip Reading of Joe Biden (Humor)Humor - President Biden delivers a moving heartfelt message during the holidays. Video Here

The only thing not going viral in China is the truth. Chinese officials are spewing lies to cover up the massive COVID outbreak there. Worse, U.S. public health officials dawdled for a week, allowing air travelers from China in without testing, while other countries immediately blocked infected travelers from entering. Aerial photos and videos from China show body bags stacked outside hospitals and crematoria, funeral home parking lots full and hospitals overwhelmed with COVID patients jammed into hallways. In Beijing and Sichuan, over 50% of the population is infected, according to internal government documents. Yet the Chinese government officially claims...

On Dec. 30, as Washington shut down for the Christmas-New Year holidays and Republicans prepared to take over the House of Representatives, Democrats on the House Ways and Means Committee, in their final days of power, released copies of former President Donald Trump’s tax returns from 2015 through 2020.Democratic lawmakers had fought for years to get the documents. They claimed they needed them not for partisan political reasons but in order to oversee the Internal Revenue Service more effectively. The “legislative purpose” rationale was always a joke; everyone knew that, once they had the returns, Democrats would release them to...

MSNBC ushered in Thanksgiving to its viewers by claiming that the holiday and the nation were built on genocide. “We are a country founded on violence. Our birth was violent,” MSNBC star Joy Reid declared. It was another hateful lie about our country from a 24/7 hate network built on lies. America was not founded on violence, but on a revolutionary proclamation that all men are created equal and have a God-given right to liberty. By contrast, NBC’s takeover by Comcast was lubricated by a corrupt deal with hatemonger Al Sharpton who has described fellow racist Joy Reid as his...

Kris Kristofferson said that “freedom” is “just another word for nothin’ left to lose.” To the political left, freedom is an abomination that must be defined and controlled by the ruling class elites. And what better way to do that than to crack down on automobile travel? Cars are a favorite target of all progressives and most Democrats. No human invention has increased freedom as much as the automobile. That’s why they have chosen to go to war on cars. It’s a long-term campaign that will take decades to finish. But there are victories along the way, and one of...

The China Project was accused by a whistleblower of being a front for the Communist regime.Hillary Rodham Clinton, after a lifetime of struggling to find a steady job to support her family , has finally landed a position with Columbia University.The former first lady and two-time presidential loser will become a “professor of practice” at Columbia’s School of International and Public Affairs and a “presidential fellow” at Columbia World Projects. Considering Hillary’s “practice”, the university will likely be locking the cash drawer and securing any valuable art that might perchance fall into her pantsuit pockets.“I have had the great pleasure...

First comes love, then comes an indeterminate period of conveniently living together to decide whether your partner’s dishwasher-loading habits are a dealbreaker, then comes marriage.Today a lot of young daters assume moving in together is a prerequisite for matrimonial success. But it actually hikes up a couple’s proclivity toward divorce compared to spouses who wed without first cohabitating — a statistic that shocked hosts Jordyn Woodruff and Alex Bennett of Barstool Sports’ “Mean Girl” podcast in Wednesday’s episode.“Couples who live together before marrying have nearly an 80 percent higher divorce rate than those who do not,” Bennett noted incredulously. View...

Hollywood’s unconditional love for Zelensky is as strong as ever. This year’s Golden Globes ceremony, which will air Tuesday on NBC at 8 p.m., will feature an appearance by Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky, who will deliver a “special message of peace.” Naturally, actor Sean Penn will be on hand to introduce Zelensky during the live telecast. In its announcement Monday, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association didn’t say if Zelensky will appear in person at the ceremony in Beverly Hills or will address viewers remotely.

What Are the Feds HIDING in Jan. 6 'Investigation'? | Video Podcast It’s been two years since the events of January 6, 2021, and despite the Left’s obsession, huge questions still remain unanswered: Was the FBI involved? Who planted the pipe bombs? Why does the government care more about prosecuting grandmas than prosecuting Ray Epps, who admitted that he “orchestrated it”? Glenn talks with Darren Beattie, who has devoted himself to uncovering the full story of the Capitol riot with his website, Revolver News. He has come to a disturbing conclusion: Without the feds, January 6 couldn’t have happened. He...

Actor Adam Rich died in his Los Angeles home over the weekend. He was 54. Rich, who was best known for his childhood role in the 1970s Eight is Enough television series, was found lifeless inside his home Saturday, according to reports. “Adam was simply a wonderful guy,” said Danny Deraney, Rich’s Hollywood representative. “He was kind, generous and a warrior in the fight against mental illness.” "Adam did not have an ounce of ego," Deraney added. "He was unselfish and always looked out for those he cared about, which is why many people who grew up with him feel...

The Great Scenic Railway, at Luna Park in Melbourne, Australia, is the second oldest rollercoaster in the world: and it's one of only a few which still uses a manual brake. Here's how it works.

Journalist Paul Sperry is not going quietly into the night — as we reported, he’s been calling out the effort by Rep. Adam Schiff’s office to silence him, to get him suspended from Twitter as well as to shut down his reporting about things that Schiff didn’t want to be exposed. In articles for RealClearInvestigations, I outed his anonymous “whistleblower” from the first impeachment of President Trump. It was Eric Ciaramella, a Democrat who had worked in the Trump White House as an Obama holdover. I also exposed Ciaramella’s prior relationship with one of Schiff’s top staffers on the impeachment...

Patti Davis, actress and youngest daughter of the late President Reagan, gave Prince Harry some sage yet unsolicited advice ahead of the release of his memoir, "Spare." In an op-ed written for the New York Times, Davis, 70, cautioned the Duke of Sussex to be judicious with his candor. "My justification in writing a book I now wish I hadn’t written… was very similar to what I understand to be Harry’s reasoning. I wanted to tell the truth, I wanted to set the record straight. Naïvely, I thought if I put my own feelings and my own truth out there...

That's why they call it gambling. In the morning on our Sports Radio station, they air VSIN the Sport Betting Network that broadcasts from Las Vegas, weekly they have been following the Circa Survivor contest that started with 6,133 entrants at $1000/each. You pick one team each week to win straight up, once you pick a team you can't pick that team the rest of the year. Yesterday it came down to 3 people, the 3 people picked the Jaguars, Colts, and Seahawks, 2 picks won meaning they will divide up a $6.133-million-dollar payout versus 3 people dividing it.

Yes, the America middle class is disappearing. At least as defined by the above WSJ chart. 38% of US families were middle class in 1979 vs. 32% in 2014. But where did that 7% (6.8 percentage points to be exact) go? Well, of the five income groups (poor, lower middle class, middle class, upper middle class, and rich) displayed, the bottom three got smaller, the top two bigger. The poor shrank by 4.5 percentage points, the lower middle class by 6.8, the middle class also by 6.8% But the upper middle class got a lot bigger, expanding by 16.4 points,...

ABC News’s George Stephanopoulos predicted two years of chaos during Kevin McCarthy’s House speakership, but his Republican guests weren’t having it. In his opening segment on “This Week” Sunday, Stephanopoulos said that McCarthy’s concessions to 20 conservative members who opposed his bid would put the country on edge. He extended his alarmist rhetoric to interviews with two Republican congressmen, but both lawmakers rebuked him for it. “On the second anniversary of the January 6th insurrection, Kevin McCarthy clinched his decade-long quest to be speaker of the House,” Stephanopoulos said. “It came with concessions to the most extreme members of his...

The fact that American living standards have broadly stagnated, and for some segments of the population have declined, should be cause for real concern to the ruling class. America ran out of frontier when we hit the Pacific Ocean. And that changed things. Alaska and Hawaii were too far away to figure in most people’s aspirations, so for decades, it was the West Coast states and especially California that represented dreams and possibilities in the national imagination. The American dream reached its apotheosis in California. After World War II, the state became our collective tomorrow. But today, it looks more...
