Davos, Switzerland, the annual retreat for the world’s elite, gets a very flattering portrait this year from Molly Ball, a reporter at Time magazine. Nothing surprising there. Nor is it surprising that neither Ball nor her editors didn’t realize that they were letting readers know how disconnected the elites are from common folks. That said, this […]
Senators just passed tax reform legislation that included a repeal of Obamacare’s individual mandate. The House of Representatives, which passed its version of tax reform without such a repeal, should now follow the Senate’s lead. The individual mandate is a gross violation of individual liberty and is not helping to make insurance more affordable. A […]
On Wednesday, sports network ESPN announced it was laying off employees effective immediately. The long-expected announcement follows a similar purging of 100 employees back in April. At present ESPN has about 87 million subscribers, a big drop from 2010 when it had around 100 million subscribers. Even at this late date, there are still those who claim […]
After watching Kathy Griffin’s latest YouTube video, I have to wonder if she is certifiable. Back in May she sent her career into a nosedive after posing for a photo holding up the fake, decapitated head of President Donald Trump.

Poor Ms. Griffin had to apologize for it, but a lot of mean people wouldn’t forgive her and her wonderful […]
(language warning) Last week comedian Louis C.K. was set to release a new movie titled I Love You, Daddy about a 17-year-old girl who has an affair with a much older movie director. As I noted, this was a case of some really bad timing. Little did we know. It turns out masturbation is seemingly always on C.K.’s mind […]
One of the great questions of 2017 will be why comedian Louis C.K. didn’t put a hold on the upcoming movie that he directs and stars in, by, say, releasing it a year from now. Louis C.K. plays a middle-aged father in I Love You, Daddy. Chloë Grace Moretz plays his 17-year-old daughter, and John Malkovich […]
Seeking the Virginia governor’s mansion, Lt. Gov. Ralph Northam (D) recently said he would sign a bill banning sanctuary cities. Northam promised “he would sign a bill to ban so-called sanctuary cities if a Virginia locality tries to become one in the future,” according to the Richmond Times-Dispatch. A sanctuary city is one that does not cooperate with […]
