So there they were in the aftermath of the Virginia election. One MSNBC or CNN commentator after another calling the GOP wins in Virginia a “racist dog whistle.” So how do they explain the victory of Lieutenant Governor-elect Winsome Sears, the first African-American female to be elected in all of Virginia history? And Cuban-American Jason Miyares, the first Latino to be elected Attorney…

Reporters rush to protect latest Marvel film from itself by blaming toxic fans. The new MCU film Eternals, in theaters Nov. 5, is earning tepid reviews prior to its release. Even the positive critiques are far from glowing, and the movie hovered around the “rotten” mark at RottenTomatoes.com before falling to 53 percent at the moment. That’s a first for an MCU film.

Last week, Democrats settled on an area of apparent commonality: the desire to eat the rich. According to Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen, “Senator Wyden and the Senate Finance Committee ... would impose a tax on unrealized gains on liquid assets held by extremely wealthy individuals, billionaires.” While Yellen refused to call this a “wealth tax,” House Speaker Nancy Pelosi had no such qualms…

It was, of course, only a matter of time. With his passing in February of this year, there would inevitably be a last issue of Rush Limbaugh’s monthly magazine – The Limbaugh Letter. That issue has just arrived in my mail box – not the electronic one but the snail mail one as the magazine was indeed quite physical. It would arrive in the mail every month like clockwork, with Rush’s…

Far left NBC show can't avoid what we're all seeing from the Commander in Chief. Saturday Night Live is still pulling its punches when it comes to the President of the United States. We’ve watched the sketch series sugar coat the first nine months of Joe Biden’s administration, a stark contrast to how SNL treated the previous White House dweller. Not last weekend.

Democrats say President Joe Biden won "a strong mandate." His government can do all sorts of good things! I don't believe he has a mandate, but thanks to the selfishness of former President Donald Trump, Democrats control Congress, and that may give them power to shove their worst ideas down our throats. Those include: No. 1: Hate speech laws, No. 2: Expanding the Supreme Court, No. 3: Gun…

Vice President Kamala Harris, who appears to be in the witness protection program when it comes to her assigned role of restoring our southern border, has re-surfaced in a video she sent to 300 Black churches in Virginia. In it, she calls on congregants to vote for Democratic candidate for governor, Terry McAuliffe. She even reminds them they can vote on Sundays and urges them to do so…

Narcissus was a beautiful hunter in ancient Greece. He shunned all romantic advances. None were as beautiful as he knew himself to be, so there was no reason for a relationship with anyone. Eventually, Narcissus fell in love with his own reflection in a pool of water by a stream. He stared so lovingly and longingly at himself, unmoved and unmoving, staying and staring till death. The gods…

There's so much negative news these days. I was glad to see that a new podcast, “American Optimist,” features good things that are coming. It's hosted by Palantir founder and venture capitalist Joe Lonsdale. He interviews entrepreneurs like Sal Churi, who funds companies like Icon, which found a way to 3D print homes in just one day. The process is cool to watch. You can see it in my new video…

Human beings aren't great at assessing risk. In 1979, psychologists Daniel Kahneman and Amos Tversky posited a new branch of behavioral economics, which they titled prospect theory. One of their key findings was that human beings are naturally loss-averse -- we generally are willing to forego the probability of gains in order to minimize the chance of losses. Because of our loss aversion,…

“They said you were high class, but that was just a lie.” – Elvis Presley, “Hound Dog” White House Chief of Staff Ron Klain brought criticism on himself last week when he retweeted a post from Harvard economist Jason Furman. Furman claimed that rising inflation and nationwide supply chain issues that have delayed products from reaching store shelves is a “high-class problem.” Klain’s…

America remains bound by often extreme pandemic restrictions. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends staying 6 feet away from others. In Oregon, everyone must wear a mask outdoors. In parts of the country, 2-year-olds must wear masks. Are such rules necessary? Recently, Denmark lifted all pandemic restrictions. "Go Denmark!" cheers George Mason University…

And here we go again with the cancel culture. This time the target is comedian Dave Chappelle and his Netflix special. Here's the headline from NBC News: "Netflix Trans Employees Plan Walkout in Protest of Dave Chappelle Special." To his immense credit, Netflix co-CEO Ted Sarandos refused to buckle.

This week, the Biden administration received just the latest slap in the face from cruel reality: An economic report showing just 194,000 jobs added in the month of September, short of the 500,000 jobs forecast by most economists. The unemployment rate dived to 4.8% from 5.2% -- not as a result of job gains, but as a result of more and more Americans dumping out of the work force. Meanwhile,…
