    The Fake News Depot

    ABC just suspended Brian Ross for 4 weeks without pay. Brian's FAKE NEWS caused the Dow to drop 350 within minutes of his "scoop." Ya think ABC got a few phone calls from high powered investors when the "clarification" was issued? There are things going on (Veritas attempted sting of WaPo is...

    Another one bites the dust.....

    I don't know if people forgot about what he did or they are just massively missrenembering what he did. Letterman was never accused of sexual harassment or sexual assault, he was blackmailed over a long term affair with a staffer, Stephanie Birkitt, by her then recently dumped boyfriend, Joe...

    The Trump Card...

    It's not an analogy, it's a real, actual, verifiable example. And it's 100% accurate. Actually they did. When taxes were cut the unemployment rate dropped dramatically in Nashville, more people paid federal income taxes, people left the welfare system. And because of the increased competition...

    The Trump Card...

    Standard procedure when a House and Senate bill are different is, the bill goes to Conference Committee (joint committee) and hammer out a compromise. Once a final compromise has been reached, the final compromise is written up in a Conference Report that must be agreed to by both chambers...

    The Trump Card...

    Except... no. Every time this country has cut taxes on a large scale, government revenues have increased. How is that even possible? And it happens in other contexts, as well. One of the more striking examples (mainly because it's striking on its own, but I was living there at the time and...

    Best Cargo Van for New Owner/Operator

    2 skids versus 3 skids isn't nearly as important as people think it is. Height has become more important that it was a few years ago. Customers have moved on to where they now call up or post for bids asking for a Sprinter, even if it's one skid and 20 inches tall. A standard cargo van is still...

    Another one bites the dust.....

    My father taught me that in a workplace or professional setting, with colleagues or subordinates, and even casual acquaintances, never say or do anything to a woman that you wouldn't say or do to them if your mother was sitting right next to them.

    Illegal immigrant found not guilty of murder

    Yeah, it's a travesty. He was charged with First Degree, Second Degree, Manslaughter, and Illegal Possession of a Firearm.

    Illegal immigrant found not guilty of murder

    I can see not finding him guilty of first or second degree murder, but as a convicted felon it's illegal for him to posses a firearm, even for 2 seconds. And picking up that firearm and allowing it to discharge is reckless endangerment resulting in loss of life, practically the legal definition...

    The Trump Card...

    Ah, locker room talk. :D It won't be anything major, and it won't last very long. The US and global economy is the primary reason for where the stock market is right now. It's somewhere between 10 and 20 percent of the tax bill that's baked into the market now, so at most 10 or 20 percent might...

    The Trump Card...

    Yeah, no. That's not how it works. If the US economy was weak, or the global economy was weak, then the stock market at these levels would be considered a bubble. But that's not the case. There will probably be a 10 or even 20 correction by the end of 2018, but that kind of a correction is...

    The Trump Card...

    53 Christmas trees, 71 Christmas wreaths, more than 18,000 lights, more than 12,000 ornaments and thousands of yards of ribbon and garland. And more than 150 volunteers from 29 states spent 1,600 hours over the holiday weekend. It's the People's House, soooo the people pay for it. Except this...

    The Trump Card...

    For 8 years the Obama Christmas cards were blazoned with a festively inoffensive to anyone "Seasons Greetings!" or an equally tepid "Happy Holidays!" or just a picture of Bo the dog in the snow with no real mention of anything much at all. Not this year. During the Obama years, the...

    Now Texas, another shooting- in a church

    Precipitated by the Air Force's farcical failure to report the church shooter in question, Attorney General Jeff Sessions ordered a review of the National Instant Criminal Background Check System, the FBI database used to check prospective gun buyers, including examining whether other government...

    Now Texas, another shooting- in a church

    Gun-free zones are a famous red flag. So red, in fact, that some people think it's the bullseye of a target.

    what oil and filter

    I know. But after driving around Chicago these last few days, the ubiquitous billboard of "All of the liquor, none of the clothes" is still fresh on my mind. "Shakin' the bush" fits right in there.
