At times, one has to consider if Mr. Biden would benefit from beginning each morning by reciting the alphabet in order three times if only to practice saying something correctly on a regular basis. Mere days ago, the President opined that “God willing — I don’t think we’re going to see a recession.” Well, God […]

The title for this post is one for our older Bereans that remember Dan Quayle’s debate with Lloyd Bentsen in the 1988 vice-presidential debate. Yet the real purpose of this post is to stop the disparagement of Jimmy Carter by comparing Joe Biden with him. As the nation sinks deeper into an inflationary morass, with […]

So notes CNBC yesterday. We’ve already highlighted the gross inequity of forcing people that never were a party to a loan to assume the payments of others (as in here, here, and here), in many cases people that make far less money than the beneficiaries of student loans, so I’m not highlighting that this morning.

A bipartisan group of twenty U.S. Senators have a broad agreement on legislation in response to mass shootings in America. Opposition from the left and right still exists, and a legislative recess looms, but Congress seems poised to pass the most significant reforms in this area since the Clinton Administration. The framework is still just […]

The Biden Administration has finally accepted some blame for the ongoing inflation that they helped fuel, and like a good soldier, Janet Yellen has taken the spear for her boss, President Biden. President Biden was obviously anxious to make good on a progressive agenda after his inauguration, pushing his major spending bills, and he pushed […]

Proverbs 11:15 tells us: One who is a guarantor for a stranger will certainly suffer for it, But one who hates being a guarantor is secure.
