A phenomenal film popped up on my screen the other day, and it hit me: it’s been twenty-five years since Almost Famous came out. Twenty-five years. It’s one of Cameron Crowe’s best, and it came out the same year I first went on the air. And the reason I bring it up now is because the movie has one of the greatest […]
We’ve arrived at a full-on healthcare embarrassment in this country — an Obamacare embarrassment, yes, but also a Republican embarrassment. Let’s be blunt: the GOP has been incompetent on this issue for more than a decade. Completely, undeniably incompetent. I remember Trump’s first term when Republicans were chanting “repeal and replace.” Great. Repeal and replace. Except they only had the first […]
Every time we hit one of these “must-pass” funding deadlines, I tell you the same thing: watch what they do right before Christmas, when nobody pays attention. And like clockwork, here we are. Right now, Senators Mike Lee, Ron Johnson, and Rick Scott have brought five appropriations bills to a standstill. Why? Because of earmarks—the same pork-barrel garbage Republicans once […]
I hit a breaking point this morning. Driving home from the gym, listening to Republican senators and House members making their rounds on cable news, I realized something with absolute clarity: I am never voting for “less bad” again. I’m done with it. Not wavering, not softening, not “holding my nose” for the sake of the team. Finished. Listening to these […]
The President is preparing a “One Rule” executive order for artificial intelligence—one national set of regulations instead of a patchwork of state laws. His argument is that America is in a superpower race with China, and requiring companies to navigate 50 different approval systems would crush innovation before it even gets off the ground. On […]
The European Commission just fined X roughly €120 million under the EU’s Digital Services Act, targeting Elon Musk personally in the process. On its face, this is being sold as a move to “modernize” Europe and protect democracy. In reality, it looks far more like self-preservation by an unelected bureaucracy that feels its influence slipping. Here’s the part few people understand: the European Commission […]
December 2025Alright, time for a Venezuela reality check. Take a breath. Inhale. Exhale. Now ask yourself one simple question: do you truly believe this is about narco-trafficking? Seriously. That’s the story we’re being sold again, and if you’ve been paying attention to American foreign policy for longer than five minutes, you already know how this […]
July 2024 Two stories in the Wall Street Journal today caught my attention and really shook me up. They illustrate the critical importance of financial responsibility and the consequences of poor money management. Long-time listeners know I don’t sugarcoat things. Today’s column will be no different. The Cost of Inaction The first story that blew […]
Recent news stories have been disheartening, and they remind me of the end of Orwell’s Animal Farm. In the book, the reformers, the pigs, ultimately become indistinguishable from the oppressive humans they replaced. The final commandment, “All animals are equal, but some are more equal than others,” is a stark reflection of our current reality. We […]
July 2024 Recently, I’ve been interviewed on several radio shows where hosts have been asking about Jay Powell and the Federal Reserve’s stance on inflation. They were eager to point out that I had predicted the Fed wouldn’t wait for inflation to drop to 2% before lowering rates. My response? A facepalm and a simple, […]
