One of CNN’s most notorious TV egoists surprises viewers every once in awhile by displaying a modicum of common sense in the face of leftist politicians running economies into the mud. His recent repudiation of blue city spending is no exception. CNN host Fareed Zakaria actually ripped how Democrat strongholds like New York City were “out of control, promising more, spending more, delivering less and pushing off fiscal problems to some future day,” in an X post promoting a February 23 segment of Fareed Zakaria GPS. In a stunning display of red-pilling, Zakaria directly called out the newly minted communist...

On X there are a great many genuine posts and truth be known, the news tends to show up on X before it does on television. The problem is you need to sort out the truth from the nonsense, and there is a great deal of nonsense. In vetting with that nonsense, Grok is a treasure. Liberals, AWFULs in particular, are well known for their trafficking in untruths. For example- In her profile Suzie Rizzio describes herself this wayI’m a small town beach girl that loves politics & fostering animals! She posted this yesterday: Fact Check by Mike NetterThe incident...

VIDEOIt's on! The European Union vs Elon Musk. The battle began when the EU demanded that X (forever to be known as Twitter) bow down to its censorship regime by paying a 120 million Euro fine. However, the EU may have bit off more than it can chew because it is also trying to extend its censorship to TikTok and Apple and they are also refusing to comply. How will this war end? Will the EU be able to impose its censorship on the rest of the world? Stay tuned!

The Warning Was Sounded — But No One Wanted to Listen There may come a time, years from now, when future generations will ask: “How did they let it happen?” How did nations as strong, as historic, and as proud as those in Europe — the UK, France, Germany, the Netherlands — fall into decline so quickly, and so obviously? The answer will not be complicated. They were warned. And they didn’t want to listen. The UK Is the Canary in the Coal Mine The United Kingdom, once an empire that spanned the globe, now finds itself shrinking — not...

VIDEOI wasn't at all prepared for how incredibly YUUUUUUGE the Jeronimos Monastery in Lisbon would be. At least two full city blocks in length. So big that a single photo can't capture all of it. Even using my cell phone camera video to show you a panoramic hview of it fell short. The good news is that if you don't have the patience to wait several hours on line, the view from the outside is more impressive than the view on the inside where the building is divided into segments which permit only a smaller view. Therefore the BEST view...

84 years ago today, Bob Dylan was born. At his Nobel Prize winning best, from 1961 to 1966, he challenged us to rethink everything with everything he wrote. Donald Trump, born about 5 years after Dylan, in 1946, looks to me like he is just entering into a period of his Dylanesque best. Trump forces us to revealuate this modern world all the time. Bob Dylan mastered and elevated American music twice to great literature in a few short years, first as a folkie but then as a great rock n roller. Potus 45 surprised everyone to come down a...
