501(c)(3)s NGOs NEED TO BE REINED IN SHARPLY, or just abolished. I prefer abolished; I doubt that anything that's been sucking the government teat for as long as they have can be effectively reined in.

FEMINISM: The mutation of womanhood.

JACK DUNPHY: The Keyboard Kops weigh in.

SMILES FROM AYN RAND: [Appointed] European Commission president Ursula Von der Leyen tells EU citizens 'all your monies are belong to us'.

Hold on to your wallets, Europe, the EU is coming for you.

THE “MOST TRUSTED NAME IN NEWS.” Wolf Blitzer’s Trump mail-in voting lie blows up in his face.

"Used To Be" should be inserted into CNN's tagline.

LIBERALS: You can't change the name of Lake Ontario to Lake America. Oh? "Just ask any Latinx birthing person.”

CONGRATULATIONS, AND WELCOME TO A THINNING CROWD: Nobody applauds when you fix the garbage disposal.

NANCY PELOSI just threw Hakeem Jeffries under the bus.

TRUMP: Chicago 'will die' without federal intervention.

So let it die. The people of Illinois bought into Pritzker and Johnson; make them fix it.

DRONES WON’T WIN WARS, but they have changed warfare.

Unfortunately, only boots on the ground win wars.

TOO MANY ACADEMICS: Why Higher Education is likely doomed.

Please explain to me what AFT has to do with teaching....

BEHIND THE SCENES: The Trump administration just found a pressure point that could disrupt Antifa's entire network.

INCOMPETENCE AND BIGOTRY at NASA and Lockheed Martin.

Mostly incompetence, I think. Luckily I retired and left before it really got underway. But then my choices post-Lockheen Martin were worse.
