The news coming out of China’s economy continues to be a very mixed bag. Officially the country met its 5% growth target last year, but Evergrande is on the verge of liquidation, the stock market is down, foreign investment is down and the PMI numbers for January also show factory activity is still contracting. China’s […]
Jill Biden made a speech at a fundraiser in Houston Saturday night. She slammed Trump for trying to make her husband look bad. She also was angry that Trump does not like the Senate Democrats border bill. Jill Biden is married to a man who has been in elected office for 50 years. She’s no […]
Those big electronic message boards along highways that convey a message with humor to drivers are under attack by Uncle Sam. The federal government wants the messages to be less humor, more standard use. It seems to me that the country could use more humor, even more corny dad jokes. Especially on long, boring highways, […]
Beege has a piece about the utter failure of the Biden Administration to deal with the Houthis essentially shutting down shipping in the Red Sea. The level of incompetence displayed by the Biden Administration is almost beyond parody. It’s like our entire executive branch of government has created a script by cribbing from Veep and […]
This was rather a refreshing – and surprising – note to the truly awful earthquake and subsequent tsunami the Japanese mainland suffered this week. They are desperately trying to find survivors in the rubble of collapsed buildings and parking garages.

What cracks me up about it is the line at […]
Not many of my leftoid friends are still speaking to me. Sure, they’ll “tolerate” a needy man in a dress shaking his bahookie in their kid’s face, but diversity of thought is verboten to the Marxist ambergris who have wormed their way into every institution in America. Here is […]

RECENTLY I had just delivered a pile of The Light newspapers to a shopkeeper, ‘Janet’, who displays them on her counter for customers to take, when an elderly woman came in. As soon as she caught sight of the papers she erupted in sheer fury. ‘What on earth are you doing promoting that awful paper?’ she demanded […]
I TEND not to indulge in schadenfreude but I couldn’t resist a smile at the sight of private jets frozen on the runway of Munich airport – and thus unable to make their way to the COP28 climate conference in Dubai. One can only imagine the embarrassed explanation of the tardy or absent invitees: ‘I’m sorry that I won’t be able to […]
