A fun, down-and-dirty post comparing China to the Aztec Empire and talking about the real economic difference between Red and Blue states. Yes, China does have something in common with the Aztecs. One of the points I’ve been making for about a decade is that, contrary to what they teach

When it comes to Iran, Trump is brilliantly locking the country in a box by breaking it financially, frightening its leadership, and courting its people. Although I no longer post any content on my real-me Facebook page, I do check it out regularly. It helps me stay abreast of interesting

China has been slowly sucking America dry through unfair trade. Trump is right to demand that it treat us fairly and I think he’ll win this trade war. When I graduated from high school, a family friend, recently widowed, sold me her deceased husband’s eight-year-old car for a price I

A post in which I share my thoughts about the Notre Dame fire and an open thread at which you should feel free to post your thoughts too.

The pause in North Korea negotiations reveals that the media is locked in a dangerous imaginary world where negotiations play out like bad old-time movies. To date, the stupid Leftists in the media have been trained like Pavlov’s dog to expect “a win” whenever there’s a summit with a foreign

Trump turned the debate over funding a Southern border wall into a brilliant reality show, with Pelosi and Schumer as his hapless foils . . . and much more. Funny day today, with a lot of people who are important to me needing me. That’s not to say that they are

Even as Paris burns, America’s media and other Democrat establishments demand that America institute the socialist policies that are destroying Europe. Paris burns — and the people call for Trump.
