The Big Yellow Button Is Back Again!

We are now less than three months away from the 250th anniversary of American independence, which means that the “Early Bird Special” at my favorite fireworks wholesaler will soon be ending. That’s the shortest explanation for why I’ve once again super-sized the PayPal “donate” button for the benefit of near-sighted readers who otherwise may have […]

Trump Declares Ceasefire in Iran

During Tuesday’s liberal freakout, Democrats were denouncing President Trump as a genocidal maniac because of his threats to destroy Iran. Then, about an hour before the 8 p.m. deadline he’d given the Iranian regime, Trump announced that a deal had been reached for a ceasefire: President Donald Trump and the Islamic Republic of Iran both […]
