There’s an old saying that Wall Street economists have predicted eight of the last two recessions.
A Message to Young Women From a Career Woman
Every Wednesday, the second hour of my national radio show is the “Male/Female Hour.” A few weeks ago, a woman named Jennifer called in. For reasons of space, I have somewhat shortened her comments. Every young woman should read them. This is precisely what she said...

Nuggets From H.L. Mencken Regarding the Climate Report
H.L. Mencken was way ahead of his time in detecting what was (and certainly is) going on with government and society. He was especially prescient in regards to the man-made global warming agenda.

Lucrative Law Enforcement Will Become Lawless
Tyson Timbs made a mistake, but not one as important as Indiana’s Supreme Court made in allowing to stand the punishment the state inflicted on him. He was a drug addict — first with opioids prescribed for a work-related injury, then heroin — when his father died.

Chief Justice Roberts Is Wrong. We Do Have Obama Judges and Trump Judges.
In the 2016 election, exit polls showed that 70 percent of voters said Supreme Court appointments were either the most important or an important factor in deciding their vote.
The Things Some People Say
When some people say life isn’t fair, it’s just sour grapes, all they’re saying is that they don’t have a billion dollars; don’t live in a castle; aren’t rock stars, super models, or movie legends; aren’t married to George Clooney or Julia Roberts; or, if they happen to be Hillary Clinton, are not living once again in the White House.

Saint Michelle Cashes in, Big Time
Michelle Obama has a new memoir out called “Becoming.” Add two words: “Very Wealthy.” The Obamas struck a $65 million book deal for his-and-hers memoirs, and next to it is their $50 million production deal with Netflix. They are set to cash in to the tune of hundreds of millions of dollars. One outlet has called them a “billion-dollar brand.” None of their media sycophants find this the tiniest bit controversial. They are the royal family. They cannot possibly be compensated enough.
Crosscurrents on a Democratic Election Day
Some random observations on the 2018 offyear elections, for Thanksgiving weekend pondering:
Dear TSA, Please Stop Molesting Kids at the Airport
The other day -- after slogging through a check-in line at one of the nation’s busiest airports, dutifully removing my shoes and belt, and checking my bag and pockets for other potentially dangerous items (water and loose change) -- I was pulled aside by a crack Transportation Security Administration agent so he could further investigate the contents of my carry-on. While waiting, I witnessed what looked to be a 10-year-old boy being molested by a 250-pound man.
An Alternative to the Status Quo

We Gather Together to Give Thanksgiving Its Meaning
If Thanksgiving were just about Pilgrims, the Mayflower, and exhortations to gratitude, it would never have become the most cherished American holiday after Christmas. Our calendars are replete with National This Day and National That Week, most of which never merit a moment’s thought.
Don’t Let Trump Hatred Thwart the School Choice Movement
The Detroit school board recently voted 6-to-1 to consider removing Dr. Ben Carson’s name from one of its high schools. Carson, a former Detroit student and former head of pediatric neurology at Johns Hopkins Hospital, pioneered several groundbreaking neurosurgical procedures.
Jared: The Birdbrain of Alcatraz
In the systematic dismantling of common sense in America, Jared Kushner’s “sentencing reform” bill is the coup de grace -- a Mack Truck hurtling down the highway about to take out thousands of Americans.
Giving Thanks for Technology — and Air Taxis
On this Thanksgiving weekend, I thought it would be appropriate to remind Americans about some of the tremendous technological advancements we should be thankful for: better cellphones, safer cars, Lasik eye surgery and drones that deliver pizza and life-saving medications. Technology also provides life-changing services like Uber and Airbnb, too.
Jonestown and the Jane Fonda Crowd
Forty years ago this past Sunday, more than 900 men, women and children killed themselves or were murdered in Jonestown, Guyana.
