Joining the woke brokers

Some fads end slowly, taking up to a generation to wane. Others are like lightning, bursting on the scene unexpectedly, destroying all in its path. This is what has happened in the Sydney Sweeney storm. An ad for American Eagle blue jeans and especially the reaction to it catapulted the 27-year-old actress to national fame and controversy. Move over Taylor Swift! In case you weren’t paying attention, the ad shows Sweeney reclining while zipping up a pair of jeans and flashing a little cleavage. What sparked the woke left’s attention and outrage was the ad copy which invoked a ...

Where are the heroes?

Following the tragic mass shooting in Midtown Manhattan, New York City, that resulted in the deaths of four individuals, including a New York City Police Department officer, we must confront a vital question: Where were the heroes? Reports indicate that the shooter walked from the curb to the entrance of 345 Park Avenue, a distance estimated at between 50 feet to 100 feet, with his assault rifle held out to his side. He approached the entrance during peak hours at 6:28 p.m., attracting the attention of numerous bystanders before entering the building and discharging his weapon. In the ...

Nixon, ‘The Godfather’ and ‘The Apprentice’

Nostalgic much? Sometimes the movies, television shows and disgraced political figures leave an enduring mark on you. The Godfather, The Apprentice, and former President Richard Nixon all do that for me. Yet, I see them all coming back now. I can always find a comparison between my favorite movie of all-time,The Godfather, and almost anything else that occurs today. For example, President Donald Trump often makes “offers that people (universities) cannot refuse.” Isn’t that true, Columbia and Brown universities — and others? Or like Michael Corleone in The Godfather, Trump ...

President Trump’s tirades

Boy, can he get sore. Donald Trump’s tirades are sharp and rancorous. Because the Bureau of Labor Statistics adjusted an employment statistic to the low side, he fired the director for rigging the results. When the head of the Federal Reserve, Jerome Powell, failed to lower interest rates, he was suddenly labeled a “moron.” Not to mention his accusation of “treason” against former President Barack Obama. Sometimes his actions are as comical as they are dangerous. When former Russian President Dmitri Medvedev, now Deputy Chairman of the Federation Security Council, denounced ...

More socialist mayors?

I live in New York City. “Proud Democratic Socialist” Zohran Mamdani is likely to be my next mayor. I’m not happy about it. But I am outnumbered. Mamdani is popular. He won more primary votes than any other candidate in the city’s history. Minneapolis may also elect a socialist mayor. Why?! How deluded can voters be? In my new video, I explain why their socialist ideas are destructive. Mamdani mocks those of us who fear socialism. He says socialism just means that the state “provides whatever is necessary for its people to live a dignified life.” Sounds ...

Which scandal is defined as a ‘distraction’?

There’s something funny in scandal politics when people accuse each other of pushing a “distraction.” So if Donald Trump tries to change the subject to Russia collusion-hoaxing, it’s a “distraction” from the media’s energetic Jeffrey Epstein obsession. All this really proves is that the liberal media elites get unhappy whenever anyone tries to offer a different topic than the one they demand we all be magnetically focused on. The networks don’t want any contrary new information added to their narrative on how Trump won in 2016 with Russian assistance — if you’re not ...
