I think you can go back to Joe Biden and Ted Kennedy doing a tap dance on the reputation of Judge Robert Bork in the Supreme Court confirmation process in the early 90’s. Or the incessant derogations by the Left of Republican figures such as Gerald Ford and Ronald Reagan for their supposed stupidity. It’s as old as John Adams and Thomas Jefferson. 🤬
And KJB really doesn’t understand math. 😉

Very good summary of affirmative action ruling:
I still think they will find an excuse to pull him (health, legal). They’ll get around Kamala and things will bust open. Newsome will not be the candidate. Maybe Lori Lightfoot. She’s not doing anything. 🤪😉
More rate increases to come. ☹️
And actually, glancing at recent commodities prices reminds one that we are walking a razor’s edge. Right now all eyes are on the threat of inflation. However, should Powell not hit the policy bullseye, we have a serious threat of deflation looming in the background.
“what is inflation and how do you measure whether it’s meeting your expectations?”
I understand your point, but the monetary expansion over the last 15 years was so unprecedented and so egregious that one could have reasonably felt that there would be a much more extreme and much more extended increase in inflation. I actually think there is more to come, as core inlation has only come down a bit more than 1% from its peak.
I wish Milton Friedman were around to respond to this. Given money supply growth over the last 15 years, this is confusing to me. I have been anticipating much more inflationary impact than we have experienced up to this point once the economy started to recover. It is looking like inflation might abate now as the economy falls into recession. These are confusing times in many ways.
I appreciate your effort, RJNWMill. Beyond Thunderdome thinks it is all about discrediting personalities that he tries to assign to you. Liberals like her tend to be far more interested in personal attacks than reason. Nice try, though.
Agree that Haley seems to be getting less attention than I had expected. Love Tim Scott’s positivity, but hopefully he can mix in more hardcore policy specifics as he goes along. DiSantis should try to smile more. His wife is his personal connection to the electorate. He is very articulate in explaining his policy goals. And Vivek is my sleeper. Maybe a great VP candidate w/ DiSantis. A president-in-training!
Peggy Noonan has become a cocktail circuit RINO with a sappy self-inulgent perspective who spouts cliche drivel. If Chris Christie has any influence on the direction of the country, we are truly lost.
Apparently, there is more to the story. Jesse Waters on FOX updated the story and said the marines had been partying w/ the teens when the fight broke out. Guess we’ll learn more later.
I’m outraged. What should I do? I’ll bet there are millions of others who saw that story and feel the same frustration.
There are several strong GOP candidates in terms of their vision and the ability to articulate it. I have been surprised and impressed by Tim Scott since he announced. He has a stronger message than I have ever heard him express before from his position in the Senate. I don’t think DiSantis is bland. Effectiveness is not boring. And I am paying attention to Vivek Ramaswamy. Very strong handle on the facts and is focused on the most important issues. A ticket of DiSantis/Ramaswamy might result in 16 years of GOP dominance. If you’d be into that sort of thing. 🤗
I do not believe Trump can win the general election and, even if he does, will not be able to repeat the magic of his first term. He has pushed away the people who helped him and labeled them RINO’s. He does not understand how to begin dismantling the administrative state and badly underestimates the seriousness of the national financial dilemma.
I’ll vote for him if he’s the nominee, but I’d prefer someone else. I’m just concerned that the hard core Trumpers are so obsessed that they might let someone else lose. Talk about cutting off your nose to spite your face!!!
