Too Many Corporations, Like Universities, Have Lost Their Way

February 25th, 2024 8:31 PM

Universities are not alone among our institutions that have lost their way. How about America’s corporations, which now seem to think social justice is their job, beside efficiently delivering goods and services to the American public? In a recent panel discussion at the Bipartisan Policy Institute, Jamie Dimon, chairman and CEO of JPMorgan, the nation’s largest bank, rang the alarm about the…

Hey, Elon Musk, You May Have a ‘Deep State’ Problem

February 25th, 2024 5:28 PM

The New York Times raised questions about President Joe Biden's mental fitness after the bombshell special report explaining why there would be no criminal charges against Biden for unlawful possession of documents. Special counsel Robert Hur wrote, "Mr. Biden would likely present himself to a jury, as he did during our interview with him, as a sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man…

Do Americans Trust Republicans OR Democrats?

February 23rd, 2024 9:43 AM

“How small, of all that human hearts endure / That part which laws or kings can cause or cure.” Oliver Goldsmith’s lines — written 260 years ago, with help from his friend Samuel Johnson — are worth remembering in an election year. But it’s tough. Congress and the White House are both up for grabs this November. An already single-digit Republican majority in the House of Representatives…

My Phone: A Privacy Expert Doesn’t Like What She Finds

February 22nd, 2024 5:27 PM

The government and private companies spy on us. My former employee, Naomi Brockwell, has become a privacy specialist. She advises people on how to protect their privacy. In my new video, she tells me I should delete most of my apps on my phone. I push back. I like that Google knows where I am and can recommend a “restaurant near me. I like that my Shell app lets me buy gas (almost) without…

Fani Willis vs. Nathan Wade vs. Euphemisms

February 22nd, 2024 1:29 PM

During questioning of Fulton County, Georgia prosecutor Nathan Wade about his “relationship” with District Attorney Fani Willis there was a moment that cut through all the euphemisms we have become accustomed to when it comes to human behavior. Scott Sadow, an attorney for Donald Trump, who is trying to get an indictment against Trump dismissed for Trump’s alleged interference in the 2020…

A World Order, If You Can Keep It

February 21st, 2024 9:56 AM

With the exception of Pearl Harbor, the Western Hemisphere escaped World War II mostly unscathed. It also led, to paraphrase Japanese Adm. Isoroku Yamamoto's alleged quote, a sleeping giant to wake up in the form of the United States. With Europe and Asia in rubble, the threat of the Soviets replacing the Nazis, and China falling to the communists, men like Winston Churchill, Harry Truman, and…

The Gospel on PBS Lifts Spirits

February 19th, 2024 4:19 PM

If you are tired of TV shows like “The Bachelor” where women demean themselves by competing for the “love” of a man; if you are sick of all the shootings and explosions on TV, the canned laughter on sitcoms that mostly aren’t funny (which is why they have to insert canned laughter in the first place); if you want to have your spirit lifted out of the mundane and into the heavens, there is a…

Media Bias: Subtle (and Not So Subtle) Ways Journalists Slant the News

February 19th, 2024 9:43 AM

On CNN, a “reporter” interviewing Vice President Kamala Harris gushes, “I’m struck, just in your presence! Looking you in the eye, with your passion ... ” Really? Even Harris looked embarrassed. My new video shows how the mainstream media treat conservatives and libertarians differently. We shouldn’t be surprised. Reporters overwhelmingly lean Democrat. A survey by The American Journalist…

The Apple Vision Pro Future

February 14th, 2024 5:10 PM

This week, I tried out the Apple Vision Pro. That’s the device you’ve been seeing on the news: the bulky, unwieldy headgear; the bizarre images of people attempting to manipulate the air in front of them; even some people driving while looking like Geordi La Forge from “Star Trek.” It’s extraordinary. As a piece of technology, I’ve never seen anything like it.

Jobs vs. Machines: The Rise of Artificial Intelligence

February 11th, 2024 6:13 PM

The media warn, “Artificial intelligence will replace millions of jobs.” In San Francisco, Teamsters protest, demanding the government “protect” their jobs. In my new video, they chant, “Do not have these self-driving vehicles on San Francisco streets, taking jobs!” They’re complaining about the Waymo driverless taxis already in use in part of San Francisco (and Phoenix).

Progressive Black Pastors Misguided on War in Gaza

February 9th, 2024 11:00 PM

Some 1,000 Black pastors nationwide are reported to have weighed-in to pressure President Joe Biden to force a ceasefire in the war in Gaza. According to one pastor, the war “has evoked the kind of deep-seated angst among Black people that I have not seen since the civil rights movement.” And per another, regarding the Palestinians, “we see them as a part of us ... They are oppressed people.…

The New Gold Rush — The American Border

February 6th, 2024 8:23 AM

I recently traveled to give a speech. I stayed in a hotel where a group of U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents were also staying. I spoke to several, mostly men, but a couple were female. The average person I spoke to had been with the agency for over seven years. Many people told me, all off the record, that before the Biden administration, they thoroughly enjoyed their job. Many were…

Trump’s Map to the White House

February 5th, 2024 10:34 AM

In 2020, Joe Biden won three states by less than 1 point: Georgia, Arizona and Wisconsin. If Donald Trump can flip these three in November — he took them all in 2016 — he’ll be back in the White House this time next year. Can he do it? First he has to hold every state he won last time. Trump’s narrowest victory was in North Carolina, where his margin was a little more than 1.3%. His home state…

Biden’s Bad Border Deal

February 1st, 2024 2:09 PM

President Biden offered a deal on the border to congressional Republicans that they could refuse. To their credit, they did. The president, speaking from South Carolina, said he would shut down the border “right now,” if Congress passed the proposed bipartisan deal now in front of them. The proposed deal, Biden said, would “give me as president, the emergency authority to shut down the border…
