Thunder and Blunder on Day One
by David Stockman | Jan 23, 2025 | Featured Articles
Well, the Donald surely did hit the ground thundering, and some right good noise it was— starting with the 1500 + pardons of the J6 offenders. That promise-kept was crucial because it was one big presidential middle finger rebuke to the Giant Lie that the Washington...
Speaker Johnson’s Ignominious Betrayal
by David Stockman | Apr 19, 2024 | Featured Articles
Speaker Johnson’s ignominious betrayal of fiscal sanity might well be the death knell for the GOP. He is apparently risking his speakership on behalf of $95 billion of foreign aid boondoggles that Uncle Sam cannot remotely afford, and which actually provide zero...

Enough of the Ukrainian Clown Show!
by David Stockman | Jun 26, 2023 | Featured Articles
If the truth be told, we are getting sick and tired of the little piss-ant who runs the cease-pool of corruption, tyranny, delusion and death called Ukraine. This clown – and that’s what he is actually trained as – just can’t seem to stop stridently demanding money,...
The Trump 'Gotcha' Indictment
by David Stockman | Jun 15, 2023 | Featured Articles
We have minimum low regard for Donald Trump, and not merely because he is a bombastic lout and world historic megalomaniac. His policies were terrible, too. The Federal budget and debt exploded on his watch; the Fed printed money recklessly even as he demanded more;...
