On October 31, 1517, an obscure German theology professor put the finishing touches on a paper he had written about the current state of the Catholic Church, and sent it off to Archbishop Albert of Brandenberg for review. The professor’s letter was polite and professional, with a formal tone that one might find in a modern academic work. It could hardly be d […]

“Sometimes [two and two are four], Winston. Sometimes they are five. Sometimes they are three. Sometimes they are all of them at once. You must try harder. It is not easy to become sane.” One of the key themes from George Orwell’s dystopic novel 1984 is that the Party can do and say whatever it wants. And more importantly, you must believe it, with all your […]

Amazon made big headlines yesterday when it announced it was walking away from its plan to build a new headquarters in New York City. The company was under intense pressure from the media and politicians who were angered that New York City’s local government was giving away too many tax incentives, purportedly worth around $1.5 billion. (Including the state […]

Last month, Chicago hedge fund billionaire Ken Griffin spent $238 million on a condo in New York City. It was the most expensive home ever sold in the US (but only one piece of Griffin’s massive, luxury real estate portfolio). Good for Ken… he’s incredibly wealthy and can spend his money however he wants. But most of society hates this kind of behavior. Even […]

She wants to nationalize healthcare. Raise your taxes to 70%. Legislate her way to ending poverty and saving the environment. And if she had her way, probably cleanse the English language of offensive words like gender pronouns.

And just like that, it seems we’re headed back to quantitative easing… After cutting interest rates to nearly zero following the 2008 crisis, the Federal Reserve starting raising rates near the end of 2015 (from 0.25% to 2.5% today). Following the most recent hike in December 2018, Chairman Powell seemed hell bent on further tightening, saying “some further […]

One of the things that I’ve been musing about the past few months is how different the Democratic Party has become in the past several decades, and how few of their voters I think really understand that.

Not only did he fake a hate crime against himself, but it’s looking like he was perfectly happy to let innocent people suffer the consequences of his “attack”.

Apparently Michael Avenatti has had enough. It seems a couple of ass-kickings by Donald Trump jarred loose a few brain cells. Thus, Avenatti seems to have boarded the Trump train. In an odd request, Avenatti asked a federal judge in California to dismiss Stormy Daniels’ defamation lawsuit against President Trump and Michael Cohen. Further, the lawsuit […] […]

Recently House Speaker Nancy Pelosi removed her tweet on Jussie Smollett. Apparently, Smollett has become toxic in DC circles. Soon we’ll see many others join Pelosi, as the truth continues to emerge in the Jussie Smollett farce. Smollett not only embarrassed the Left, but he put them between a rock and a hard place. He […]

There isn’t a Leftist alive who believe Smollett’s story. Not ONE. They believed what they wanted to believe and ignored the truth. That realization should be the wake-up call they need to re-evaluate their belief systems. And that’s what Nana Efua Mumford, executive assistant to The Post’s editorial board knows about herself. She writes, But even […] […]

We get the first installment of the reason Jussie Smollett faked his attack. But as “first installment” implies, more will come later. The first excuse is simple. Smollett is a publicity whore with serious mental problems. Though this hasn’t been confirmed by those posing as media, Smollett created the concept for the letter. Then he […]

Black Leftists have upped the ante on getting paid by “the man”. Formerly, a black guy had to get killed by a cop for his family to receive the lotto check. But now black Leftists have a new hero. Colin “Take a knee for social justice” Kaepernick got a fat settlement for race-pimping in the […]

Last week, disgraced Empire cast member, Jussie Smollett, insisted he was attacked by MAGA hat-wearing rednecks. Conservatives were crucified for their disbelief until the undeniable happened.

“They sure grow up fast, don’t they?” “The older you get, the faster time flies.” “You can’t slow down time, so treasure your days because they’ll be gone before you know it.” We’ve all heard these thoughts, often from the parents of grown children. If you’re part of the older and wiser population, you may […]

Kicking Ass with Money is much like healthy eating and joyful living.
