I can't even... Yesterday I wrote about how shamelessness is a superpower, and I have to say that it is a wonder to behold. As the Democrats gather in Chicago to experience the religious ecstasy of being surrounded by each other and sniffing their own farts, they are treated to speeches from elite hypocrites who pretend to be perfectly normal people. Last night was the ol' HOPENCHANGE shtick, with Michele and Barack Obama babbling on about things they don't believe while Obama sycophants babble on about how their "spiritual voids" were filled by the Lightbringer. An emotional high point was,...

The share of total net worth held by the top 1% has exploded since The Fed’s rate cuts following the 2001 recession. The...
