First of all, I told you so. You didn't listen. Second, I do like saying this! I have no humility. At all! Not quite so tarrifying? Chart R For the US economy in 2025, perhaps no moment stands more memorable than Donald Trump unveiling his big board of tariffs on April 2. Although the “Liberation Day” announcement might have come the day after April Fools, the levies slapped on America’s largest trading partners — as well as some of its smallest — were no joke. They upende

You are what you watch Chart R Should the $83 billion deal course its way through the Paramount- and regulator-shaped obstacles it now faces, the Netflix-Warner Bros. takeover could completely overhaul our media landscape. For now, though, we’re all doing a fine job of upending things on our own, as traditional formats struggle and social media blurs the lines between video and TV. According to Nielsen, YouTube, th

BFD. It's a smart way to save money getting grandma back home on the cheap. If someone hadn't squealed everything would have been fine. It's not like the body had started to decay. What?

I have 5,000 pristine acres in Arlington Heights, Illinois that have been home to over 30,000 head of Angus cattle for three generations. And now I hear that Gov Fatso is coming for my land! I don't think so!

Fortunately, the chicken community is responding by reproducing to save their heritage. BTW the way I fired up a little cost data. This explains some of this. Also as Dave points out, it's delicious.

The progressives movement, the current face of the Democratic Party is aligned with Bernie, particularly AOC. Wonder why at Trump’s inauguration, Tesla (Elon Musk), Meta (Mark Zuckerberg), Amazon (Jeff Bezos), Google/Alphabet (Sundar Pichai), and Apple (Tim Cook) were all seated prominently in the second row behind the First Family? Because their economic future along with Nvidia relies on AI, fossil fuel to power a vast array of new data center assets. Think these folks ar

Wisconsin Judge Hannah Dugan guilty of obstructing ICE agents after helping illegal migrant evade arrest By Richard Pollina, NY Post Published Dec. 19, 2025 A Wisconsin judge was convicted Thursday of felony obstruction of justice for helping a violent illegal migrant evade federal immigration agents following a court appearance earlier this year.

This is obviously a complex issue. A few things that seem to make sense (at least to me) Having health care that can travel from job to job. Changing our tax code so you can deduct medical expenses without having to itemize or worry about the AGI threshold would be an important step in that direction. Get rid of PBM managers and find a better was to provide Americans drugs at pricing commensurate with other nations. Provide incentives to engage in preventitive self care. Er

A Spritzler Special Investigation. Think of me as a modern day Mike Wallace. Here's what a month's supply of the stuff costs elsewhere and the US: Monthly Cost Comparison (List Prices) United States: $936-969 By far the highest globally 5-10x more expensive than most other countries Japan: $169 Second highest after the U.S. Still 82% cheaper than U.S. prices Mid-Range Countries: Canada: $155 Denmark: $122 Netherlands: $203 (for Rybelsus formulation) Germany: $59-103 Lowest C

Let Snitz mansplain this. Changing the classification of marijuana radically changes the business model for legal producers and sellers. Why? Because they will be able to expense operating expenditures...not the case today. Section 280E Relief IRS Code 280E currently prevents businesses selling Schedule I or II substances from deducting standard operating expenses like rent, payroll, advertising, and utilities . Once marijuana moves to Schedule III, this restriction no lon

The UK publication can't be faulted for getting their facts wrong. While the Dark Lord is a flaming asshole and says vile/untruthful crap (faster than you can process) his record isn't terrible. I discount the DOGE and ICE offensive behavior....eckkkk. After months of people going nuts about his tariff negotiations, inflation clocked in today at 2.6%. Shocker his plans might work. For the time being they haven't cratered the economy. Am I a huge fan. Certainly not. But wo

Seriously? You expect me to living a 2,400 sf house? My walk in closet's bigger than that. Whadda think? This too much for a summer house? I think they're will do drop the price 15%!

I didn't take a dime of that money. I have never been indicted for any welfare fraud scheme, barring that one incident in 2011. The Biggest Fraud in Welfare The government gives tens of thousands of dollars in benefits to the poor, which it doesn’t count as income. By Phil Gramm and John Early, WSJ Dec. 17, 2025 Something is profoundly wrong with the U.S. welfare system—a problem that runs far deeper and is more dangerous than the shocking fraud in Minnesota that has been ma

Actually, the Dark Lord is correct. None of this is his fault and things are getting better. Sadly, this country is filled with decent people who can't see past the fact that he's the devil incarnate. Me? I did two tours of duty in Hades, I'm no stranger to debauchery.

What's the matter with that crazy beach! In the 1990s Harry Reasoner and Mike Wallace had our house on speed dial. Every one of our kids had one instruction before they left for school each day..."don't talk to the press". My favorite words in the English language "no comment".

From the skewering he's received in the mainstream press you'd certainly think so. VDH explains the opposite is likely true. Hegseth has accomplished two important milestones: For the first time the armed forces have met their recruiting goals. This was a disaster during Biden. Nobody wanted to join the military. How he fixed this is fascinating and required some good old common sense. For years, the military did most of it's weapons procurement with large suppliers, like

What happens is you get ripped and your lazy progency gets an education inferior to what you received. BTW: Can you explain why research needs to occur in a college setting? I can't figure that one out. Lot's of alternatives. Then again, my 20 part longitudinal study on the subject doesn't come out for another 24 months. T Spritzler PHD, MD, JD, The Harvard University

I did a little research. The folks who mostly belong to unions in Chicago are lead by either the Chicago Teachers Union (not a friend of children...total scum) or government agencies. So these folks get to make more money than their private sector equivalents in return for drumming up votes for the Chicago Political Machine. Sorry. That sounded a little cynical (& of course accurate). Largest Union Employers in Chicago (Ranked by Number of Workers) 1. Chicago Public Schoo
