Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) was bombarded with phone calls Saturday after President Donald Trump publicly shared what he said was the senator’s phone number, and the flood soon spread to payment requests after a journalist found a Venmo account linked to it.As flagged by The…

Trucking bankruptcies mount as Trump’s war forces drivers to take dire measures: report

Well over a dozen small trucking operators filed for bankruptcy over the past month amid soaring diesel prices, and an increasing number of truck drivers have been forced to adopt extreme cost-saving measures, The Wall Street Journal reported Saturday.“Out at the fuel bays, truckers spoke…

Cursing Trump mourns lost ‘simple life’: ‘I could have been in Monte Carlo!’

President Donald Trump mourned the loss of his life prior to entering politics during his rally in Ohio Saturday night, telling attendees he “didn’t have to” be “working my a-- off” and could have instead opted to live a private life in luxury.“I had a…

Knowles, YAF, and Professional Provocation

If you didn’t get it before, perhaps you’ll get it now. Michael Knowles is not a political philosopher or thinker. He does not share novel ideas worth anyone’s serious engagement. He is a propagandist whose sole job is to provoke the left. That’s it – he exists to trigger the libs. Or to make libs cry. Or to troll the

NYS DOT And The Little Engine That Won’t

I recently spent a vacation in Italy, where the trains run more or less on time and the high-speed rail network is extensive and genuinely fast.

Knowles made headlines literally just this week by calling for the “eradication” of “transgenderism” from “public life entirely,” then whining about coverage that correctly interpreted this as genocidal.

CaBoom Goes the Cover-Up

When someone deletes a Twitter account – the official term is “deactivate” – one typically has thirty days within which to reactivate the account and to restore it to its most recent published state. It is also possible for a person simply to change their username, and unless you know the new account name there is no easy way to

Good Riddance

People who aren’t funny and have no sense of humor shouldn’t attempt humor. People who are transparently nursing and prosecuting grievances – and won’t shut up about them – should not simultaneously pretend that they are acting out of a sense of civic duty. This is insulting the intelligence of literally anyone. People shouldn’t lie over and over and over
