Here we go again another criminal bank bailout. Don’t even try and argue that the SVB bailout isn’t a bailout. You can tell it’s a bailout from all the frantic explanations the Biden gang is pushing telling us how giving funds, way over FDIC deposit insurance limits, to deposit holders in 2023 fundamentally differs from … Continue reading Some Modest Proposals for SVBish Bank Bailouts

Ethanol is Excrement in the Gas Tank
Like many U.S. government programs, the blended corn ethanol mandate has done little to address its avowed goals, i.e., strengthen energy security, reduce carbon emissions, and lower prices for consumers. By some accounts it, consumes more energy than it produces, increases consumer prices, distorts food production, wastes vast tracts of arable land, and contributes to … Continue reading Ethanol is Excrement in the Gas Tank
Ukraine Unknowns
This will be my sole posting about the ongoing clusterfuck in Ukraine. In 2014, shortly after Russia invaded Crimea, I posted this little ditty, Ukraine takeaway: Don’t give up your Nukes. I cynically observed that if the morons that constituted the first Ukrainian government after the dissolution of the Soviet Union had held onto a few … Continue reading Ukraine Unknowns
The Great White North: Now with Shiny Pony Capital Controls
I take pride in ignoring what some perceptive individuals have labeled the “misleadia.” Our garbage press spends more time pushing their contradictory agendas than providing useful information. I monitor their tone but immediately consign the majority of their claims to the almost certainly crap unless overwhelming and independently verified bin. But, occasionally, events force the … Continue reading The Great White North: Now with Shiny Pony Capital Controls
Joe Biden = Intelligence Failure
Joe Biden, the demented imbecile in the White House, recently had his, “it will go away like a miracle” (Trump) moment. His, “the rise of the oceans began to slow” (Obama) moment. His, “mission accomplished” (Bush) moment. His, “I did not have sex with that woman” (Clinton) moment. His, “I’m not a crook” (Nixon) moment, … Continue reading Joe Biden = Intelligence Failure
How Do You Check Your Vote?
How do you check your vote? It’s a simple question with a simple disturbing answer. You cannot check your vote! And when I say “you” I mean you. I don’t mean the system, the authorities, electoral officials, foreign auditors, or any third party. I mean you - just you. There isn’t an electoral system on … Continue reading How Do You Check Your Vote?
The Mass Kill as Performance Art
It’s been almost a week since the Las Vegas Mandalay Bay massacre and the idiot media is still looking for “a motive.” They remind me of O.J.’s fruitless search for the “real killer.” I don’t watch the alphabets, except when trapped in airports or, with increasing annoyance, in my employer’s cafeteria so I’ve missed days … Continue reading The Mass Kill as Performance Art
EquiFucked
If you have the misfortune of dealing with US Fuckancial orifice Insertions (Financial Institutions) you’ve probably heard of the Equifax hack. Equifax is one of three large companies in the US that collect, without your explicit approval, personal credit information to compute credit scores. Your credit score is a single number that allegedly measures how … Continue reading EquiFucked
Idaho Statesman Regurgitates High Precision Hate Calculations
The other day while eating lunch in my employer's cafeteria I picked up the fish wrap version of the Idaho Statesman. My employer kindly subscribes to the Statesman and scatters copies around the office so I don't have to spend my money on what is usually a slightly left of center, sane, and boring publication. … Continue reading Idaho Statesman Regurgitates High Precision Hate Calculations
I Help Fat Little Kim Pick Nuke Targets
Guam? Guam? Kim, you can't be serious! I realize you live in a self-imposed hermit kingdom where questioning your fat headed notions results in being thrown to actual dogs but surely you're aware of Baker's Law of American Cluelessness. No matter what the topic of conversation roughly one-third of the American public won't have a … Continue reading I Help Fat Little Kim Pick Nuke Targets
