In 2021, the Dow went up 18%. In 2025, it went up 13%ish. Yet I don't recall any Republicans praising Biden, much less his AG, back then?

So since the AG sampled the market, the Dow has fallen 500 pts below 50k. The NASDAQ is off 7% since Oct. Turns out she's not that great at picking stocks either.

Just an annual reminder that, for most of the Northern US, today is the earliest sunset of the year. That's right, from now on, the sun will stay up later. You're welcome! #earliestsunset

ChatGPT apparently came too late for Marco Rubio, who thinks that "copy-and-pasted" is the equivalent of "authored."

If you think you've ever heard me say a nice thing about Larry Summers? I'm quite sure you've got me confused with someone else. Though apparently he could do one thing well: Ask Epstein for dating advice.

Michigan lawyer says a Halloween terror plot that FBI Director Kash Patel described never existed A Michigan defense lawyer is disputing allegations his 20-year-old client and four other young suspects were planning aΒ terror attack.

It would just SHOCK me if Patel's crowd mistook the equivalent of planning to throw some eggs on Hallowe'en as a "terror attack." www.cnbc.com/2025/11/02/h...

Good to know that only males can identify the qualities that qualify one to be a soldier, but when It comes to what painkillers one should take when pregnant? Only males can decide that too. Got it.

Imagine Corp Bigwigs tell u: "We like u & r gonna give u 10 mill USD." U say, "What's the Catch?" They say, "U have to increase the value of the company." U say, "Well DUH, what else?" They go "U have 2 invest 100k in our company." This is LITERALLY (less 6 Zeds) what Wall Street is agog about 2day!

Sen. Rand Paul blasts Trump's stake in Intel as 'a step towards socialism' Sen.Β RandΒ Paul criticized the Trump administration's decision to take a 10% stake in Intel.

Granted. with all the craziness going on, this may not even rank in the Top 10, BUT can you even IMAGINE the vitriol and cries of "STATE SOCIALISM!!" if Biden or Obama had purchased 10 percent of a major US corporation?? www.cnbc.com/2025/09/03/s...

The US rolls out the red carpet for War Criminal on US soil, & then allowed WC 2 be lead speaker at the subsequent presser; WC promised to give up Zero in his quest for peace. Of course, this opportunity is all at the behest of someone who once saluted a North Korean general, so nuttin' to see here!

You know, there WAS a time where the GOP insisted that, if an individual said something even REMOTELY pro-Russian, they should be "cancelled," regardless of how long ago or even whether they worked for the gov't or not. Nowadays, they put them in charge of National Intelligence.
