The $5 million "golden visa" being floated puts an actual price on how much thugs from other dictatorships cost to bring into the country. Then we can have our very own teams of hit men working our streets. I assume they will all be men. We can't have DEI hit men out there, can we?

A person (I can't call him a man) who thinks reality TV is part of "the art world " reveals more about himself than he can imagine. (And the inability to truly imagine keeps him from ever being an artist.)

The Reagan years brought us the failure of "trickle down economics" to fix big government. FOTUS 47 brings us "DOGE FAAFO Economics" - make random cuts, then see if that does anything.

I made scrambled eggs this morning and had to get out the good china to serve them. It just seemed wrong to serve something that expensive on the everyday dishes.

In the last ten days my retirement accounts have dropped and my eggs are more expensive. Soon, my produce will increase. Who bears responsibility for that? I didn't do anything different. Biden wasn't in office. So, who does the buck stop with on all of this?

If Trump is afraid of displaying the portrait of this patriot, we all need to display it even more. Thank you General Milley for your service to our country and commitment to the values of our nation and our Constitution.

Christian Nationalists are the least likely Americans to pay attention to Jesus. Even atheists are more likely to follow his teachings, if only inadvertently.

If you’re upset by a woman prophetically speaking truth to power, allow me to introduce you to Jesus’ mom:
