The Shadow Rate Casts Gloom

Nearly 92% of economists surveyed this week by the Wall Street Journal expect that our eight-year experiment with unprecedented monetary easing from the Federal Reserve will come to an end at the next Fed meeting in December. Since we have had the monetary wind at our back for so many years, at least a few […]

Rubio and Cruz Look Like Top Contenders in Debate

Tuesday night’s Fox Business/Wall Street Journal debate in Milwaukee provided clues as to why Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz have been climbing, not by wide margins but perceptibly, into the top-polling positions of the candidates behind the two poll leaders, Donald Trump and Ben Carson. The widespread assumption among political insiders is that in the […]

The VA System Was Always Corrupt

Most everyone, except politicians and those who profit from it (often, one in the same), agree that the Veterans Administration is broken and frankly doesn’t appear to even give a crap about our men and women who have sacrificed in the defense of this country.   Yet I’ve heard that like a lot of “broken” […]

Netanyahu’s framing of Middle East situation is spot-on

Americans could learn a thing or two from Bibi Netanyahu. The Israeli prime minister was in Washington this week to receive the American Enterprise Institute’s Irving Kristol Award.

When a country becomes as progressive as Sweden, the moonbattery is mandatory: [Swedish nurse Ellinor] Grimmark was fired from her position because she refused to assist abortions. Even though there was a shortage of midwives at the time she was fired and even though she is willing to take on double shifts, she has been […]

Finally a Good Idea From a Black Lives Matter Type

Moonbat of color Kyle Lydell Canty has an excellent suggestion for others of his creed: Black people or people of African descent living in the United States should consider seeking asylum in other countries. That’s what I did. On 23 September, I applied for asylum in Canada. We were brought to America as slaves, and […]

VIDEO: Did Someone Just Film The Earth… Breathing?

I’ve seen a lot of weird stuff caught on tape, but this video caused me to do a double-take. The Earth looks like it’s breathing! From Mashable: Brian Nutall filmed this particularly bizarre nature experience while walking through the forest in Apple River, Nova Scotia. The mossy ground below Nutall was moving up and down, […]

Minnesota University Student Government: 9/11 Remembrance Would Violate Our Safe Space

More tales from the leftist implosion of American academia… On Tuesday, November 10, the Minnesota Student Association (MSA)–the undergraduate student government at the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities (UMN)– rejected a resolution for a moment of recognition on future anniversaries of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. Theo Menon, the student group representative to MSA for […]
