Harris says Congress needs to act on immigration reform as Title 42 ends

“Vice President Harris told NPR that the administration plans to bolster agents at the southern U.S. border after pandemic migration restrictions...”

The Biden administration is relying on double speak to avoid addressing issues and shift blame elsewhere.  Congress is not ending the Title 42 restrictions; that's all on the Biden administration.  And a pathway to citizenship won't address the number of encounters at the southern border.  A...

Why America Is Getting Tough on Trade

“Trump huffed and puffed; Biden is rewriting the rules.”

Klueless Krugman is at it again.  Krugman is desperately trying to hammer his fiction of neoliberal progressivism into a shape that fits the real world. Dear Dr. Krugman, didn't you get the memo?  MAGA is why America is getting tough on trade.  Trump was a far more consequential policymaker...

“Monday's meeting punctuates a nearly two-year investigation”

Damned well better make criminal referrals.  And they better be spectacular.  Otherwise the public may think this House committee was only a political sham. BENGHAZI !!!

“Denver Mayor Michael Hancock has declared a state of emergency to help the city deal with an unanticipated influx of migrants from the southern...”

Another urban mayor declaring an immigrant emergency.  Apparently immigrants are flooding across the southern border for the bright lights and night life. And no one saw this coming?

Kathy Hochul and Eric Adams tout pro-business Midtown revival at power breakfast

“No, you leave! I need my high-income earners right here in this city”

Desperate times require desperate measures.  It's gotten so bad that prominent Democrats cannot hide their true motivations behind 'Robin Hood' platitudes. New York needs rich people a lot more than New York needs the middle class.  Mayor Adams says so.  Gov. Hochul says so.  The rich are New...

“Engineers at RMIT Australia have used high-frequency vibrations to manipulate individual water molecules during electrolysis.”

Another case of rediscovering lost knowledge.  And the researchers will likely obtain a patent for something that used to be common industrial knowledge.   It seems the more we learn, the more we forget.

Biden's potential first veto

“We should get back to normal lives.”

Biden is not going to give up authoritarian power. The technocrats won't allow it.  The WHO has set an impossibly high benchmark for declaring an end to the pandemic.  And Biden will use that technocratic power grab for his own benefit.  We've already seen how Biden uses the pandemic to justify...

Biden White House warns against 'disastrous consequences' as Congress barrels toward government funding deadline

“And the clock is ticking.”

Another week, another hair-on-fire warning.  Congress was supposed to have a budget in place on October 1.  But the midterm elections were far more important. So now Biden is trying to scare the country - again.  What were Democrats doing while they were in charge of everything?  What was Biden...

How Joe Biden suckered Europe

“Boxed in, the European Union is failing the test of the war in Ukraine.”

Europe has fallen and can't get up.  How much is this going to cost American taxpayers? Biden is only following the easiest path.  The Cold War did establish stability in Europe.  Europe would whine and bicker among themselves.  The United States would intervene because Russia was the world's...

Putin and Zelensky finally agree. Here's why that's a bad thing.

“In recent weeks, leaders in both Kyiv and Moscow have argued that the Minsk agreements are no longer worth the paper they're printed on.”

No peace in our time.  A quagmire.  The Russian invasion is turning into another phase of the War in Donbas.  On the present trajectory, the best that can be achieved will be a stalemate.  There were talks to address the War in Donbas, the Minsk Agreements of 2015, but the war continued anyway....
