To stop out-of-control spending, it will take more than replacing politicians and bureaucrats. Almost nobody doubts that the federal government wastes a lot of money. Every day we hear stories of fraud, mismanagement, and misplaced priorities that cost taxpayers millions, and sometimes billions, of dollars. But just how much money is wasted? In his annual […]

The system of “checks and balances” in scientific research is completely off-kilter. President Biden’s 2024 budget includes over $210 billion directed toward federal research and development, an approximately $9 billion increase from 2023 funding. That might not sound particularly bad—after all, who doesn’t like science and innovation? But, although seemingly noble, the billions pumped into […]

One of the primary issues leading up to the beginning of the Revolutionary War was the “quartering of troops.” The occupying British forces thought it was OK to house British troops in colonists’ homes. I guess it saves on barracks and probably food for those troops. And gives you eyes on places you might not […]

By Kelly Jan 15, 2024 Instead of addressing the corruption allegations for paying $650K to her lover, Fani Willis says she’s only being questioned because she’s a black woman. Didn’t we see this at Harvard recently? Let us hope we see the same result and she resigns. But judging by her recent church performance in Atlanta, […]

By Kelly Jan 11, 2024 I watched the rambling “I am honest” speech from Gov. Chris Christie so you don’t have to. “It’s clear to me tonight that there isn’t a path for me to win the nomination,” Christie told voters at an evening event. “Which is why I’m suspending my campaign for president of the […]

I’m struggling to believe this one. My old accounting professor used to say in reference to whoever was handling petty cash: Take some, but leave a little for me. We’re used to stories about criminality. We’re in that place as a nation. Organized gangs invade high-end stores and steal the stuff they see Kardashians repping […]

If you’re paying attention, you already know that the would-be world rulers at the World Economic Forum want to reduce population. (And make us eat bugs, but that’s another matter.) They’re pretty open about it. One advisor thinks we should dump a few billion people (keeping only smart people) for the good of the planet. […]

The harpies on The View are well-known for their radical leftist rants. I’ve written before about various unhinged incidents. I only wish I could stop watching them — except I never started. When I get news about their nonsense, it’s generally off the internet. As is this one… Batshit crazy insane lunatic. https://t.co/HY8Aik3XdC — Catturd […]
