Man, it’s like 2017 all over again. – With readership no doubt drastically declining in the wake of the issuance of a Mueller report that clears President Donald Trump, the news-fakers at the Washington Post and the New York Times decided last night to go back to their tried and true tactic of publishing fake reports based on unidentified and possibly even non-existent “sources.” The Times started the night’s fake-fest with a front page story headlined “Some on Mueller’s Team Say Report Was More Damaging Than Barr Revealed”. Wow! “Some”, huh? Good ol’ “Some”? You mean the same “Some” on...

It is uproariously entertaining to see the scurryings of the innumerable host of Democratic presidential candidates in what is already more of a lottery than a quest for the nomination of a great party to the world’s greatest office. The Gadarene stampede to (and over) the edge of the abyss of all who advocate open borders, 70 percent income taxes, the green terror, socialized medicine, legalized infanticide, reparations to native and African-Americans, packing the Supreme Court, and vacation of the Electoral College, has finally elicited, in a Churchillian expression, a tiny mouse of dissent. The charge to oblivion reminds me...

A German manufacturer plans to make tools and dies at a new Michigan City operation. Marbach America Inc., a subsidiary of the Germany-based Marbach Group, will invest more than $4 million as it takes over 16,000 square feet in the new Haskell Building in Michigan City.

Chief Operating Officer Fernando Pires said. "The tax abatement...

Joe Biden wants us to believe that all his touching speaks to how deeply he cares about other people. It’s really a testament to how much regard he has for himself. As everyone has always known, Biden is prone to weird and wildly over-familiar interactions with women, which are extensively on the record and have been the subject of jocular commentary over the years. The #MeToo era has put his grabby style in a different light, and now he’s had to tweet out a video saying he gets it. Biden’s conduct is obviously different and less blameworthy than the men...

Aiming to cauterize his political wounds, Joe Biden said in a Twitter video that he’ll be more respectful of people’s personal space in the wake of numerous women accusing him of making them uncomfortable with his physical contact. But two words were missing from his carefully crafted explanation Wednesday: “I’m sorry.”

I solved the Republican’s AND the Democrat’s most pressing national issues in my sleep last night. I must have been visited by both Athena and Minerva, the Greek and Roman goddesses of wisdom, while I slumbered as I woke with the resolution to the prickliest problems of the day. Allow me to insert here my preemptory mea culpa for citing exclusively Western civilization/Euro-centric goddesses as the source of my received knowledge. I hereby recognize my white privilege in doing so and promise to reference the African deities of wisdom next time I enjoy a dream of enlightenment.Now, on to the...

Medicare for all? Great idea until you realize you’ll be attending something akin to the local DMV To appreciate health care under the Insane Left’s “Medicare for All,” just visit your local, dysfunctional government office. Let me relate what happened to me when I tried to acquire a driver’s license at the New York State Department of Motor Vehicles and a replacement Social Security card as I did recently in Manhattan, and extrapolate this to health care. Surmise how many hours I spent going from office to office, and returning home or online to get another piece of identification.

Cardinal Robert Sarah: Catholic Church should not support "this new form of slavery that is mass migration" In an interview last week, Cardinal Robert Sarah, prefect of the Vatican’s Congregation of Divine Worship, condemned the present pontifical push for migration into Europe, saying that the Catholic Church should not support “this new form of slavery that is mass migration.” He said, “God never intended these fractures.” The cardinal was indirectly rebutting Pope Francis’ political activism in telling Christian nations that they should open their borders to Islamic “refugees” and be more “welcoming.” Sarah said that using the Bible to promote...

Bronx bartender—led socialists hiding under the cover of ‘progressivism’ is leading the United States of America The incurable condition known as megalomania is running rampant through Congress, where chef megalomaniac Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) seems to be running the whole Democrat show. AOC reminds Trump in tweet about tax return request: ‘We didn’t ask you’. (Fox News, April 4, 2019). In her Wednesday tweet AOC suggested that House Democrats won’t be taking ‘No’ for an answer in seeking access to President Trump’s tax returns.

If you still wondered what kind of opposition POTUS Donald Trump faces on a daily basis to any and all of his efforts to staunch the flow of illegal immigration and regain operational control over our southwest border, this will serve as just the latest example. In a highly improper and extremely controversial move, the Marine Corps’ top commander, Commandant of the Marine Corps Gen. Robert Neller, let a pair of internal memos leak to NBC News and the Los Angeles Times in an attempt to embarrass his commander-in-chief over is decision to shift some Pentagon funding to border wall...

Today’s Campaign Update (Because The Campaign Never Ends) How stupid are Democrat voters? – Impossibly stupid, apparently. With a textbook socialism-caused collapse of a formerly prosperous nation taking place right here in our own hemisphere for all to see, the Democrat voter base here in the U.S. appears intent upon taking our own country down that same doomed-to-fail path. It isn’t just the elevation of mindless nitwits like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to congress, nor is the movement to self-destruction limited to support for an array of socialist presidential candidates, from Pete Buttigeig to Kamala Harris to The Commie. Democrat voters are...

If the thing you really want to spring clean this year is your desk at your current job, you're in luck — there are thousands of opportunities to start fresh with a new office at a new company. Glassdoor combed through its vast database of job listings and discovered that job seekers still hold the upper hand as companies continue to compete for talent.

In particular, these 20 companies, spread across the...

If this isn’t the craziest, most heartbreaking story you’ll read today, you truly have a heart of stone. After struggling with infertility, a woman who is now pregnant with quadruplets—two boys and two girls—is considering the unthinkable. She wants to abort her baby boys. Known only on Reddit as “PlaneGanache,” the mother shared her story, filed under “Am I The A**hole?” asking if she is in the wrong for wanting to keep her daughters but kill her sons. The irony is truly bitter that after years of fertility and the monumental cost of in vitro, this mother fails to recognize...

I've just about had it with our college president. Today, yet another whining yet self-righteous condescending letter about "hate". Basically, last week this pres sent out a note to everyone about a couple (emphasis that last) fliers found on lampposts at our college. Again, today, she e-mailed about a swastika carved into a desk - desk was taken away, etc. All this is super alarm about "white nationalists" and "hate".

Natural gas prices at the Waha hub in West Texas plummeted to record low negative levels on Wednesday, as pipeline constraints and problems at compressor stations at one pipeline stranded gas produced in the most prolific U.S. shale oil basin. Real-time or next-day prices at the Waha hub in Texas have stayed at negative levels since March 22, so drillers have had to pay companies with capacity to ship the gas via pipeline. On Wednesday, the spot Waha hub prices plunged to minus $3.38 per million British thermal units (MMBtu), from minus 2 cents for Tuesday, data from the Intercontinental...

Federal prosecutors filed charges Monday against a woman carrying Chinese passports whom they allege illegally entered President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago club in Florida in late March. The woman, Yujing Zhang, initially gained access to the property on March 30 through a miscommunication with members of Mar-a-Lago security, according to the complaint. Trump was staying at Mar-a-Lago on that date, though he was not on the property at the time Zhang's alleged visit occurred. After she was detained, US Secret Service agents searched multiple electronic devices she was carrying, including four cell phones, a laptop computer, an external "hard drive type"...
