So why did VW “cheat”? Uncle? That question hasn’t been asked enough. It ought to be. Now we have the answer – confirmation of what I suspected and wrote about earlier when this “scandal” broke last year. VW “cheated” because it had to. Because “cheating” was the only way to keep on selling diesel engines that delivered the mileage buyers expected at a cost that made economic sense to them. Satisfying Uncle – passing his Rube Goldberg-esque emissions tests, which among other defects don’t measure the totality of a vehicle’s output – grams per mile –  but rather sample parts per … Continue reading →

The Transportation Security Administration has an extraordinary amount of power: they can root through personal belongings, force people to take off their shoes, and act all suspicious around any sort of liquid. But the TSA doesn’t ban everything. Here is a list of things will make it through the security inspection. 1. Delta will make special accommodations for flying Christmas trees. Of course, you’ll also have to make room in your luggage for the massive amount of judgment your fellow travelers will heap on you for dragging an evergreen into an airport. 2. Cremated remains are permitted as both carry-on … Continue reading →

As the labor participation rate and employment to population ratio linger near three-decade lows, the mouthpieces for the establishment continue to perpetuate the Big Lie this is solely due to the retirement of Boomers. It’s their storyline and they’ll stick to it, no matter what the facts show to be the truth. Even CNBC lackeys, government apparatchiks, and Ivy League educated Keynesian economists should be able to admit that people between the ages of 25 and 54 should be working unless they are home raising children. In the year 2000, at the height of the first Federal Reserve induced bubble, … Continue reading →

American investor Jim Rogers is short on all four FANG stocks, according to a report on Financial Times. FANG is a term coined by CNBC’s Jim Cramer for Facebook Inc FB 0.18%, Amazon.com, Inc. AMZN 1.16%, Netflix, Inc. NFLX 0.57% and Google, now Alphabet Inc GOOGL 0.8%. “Although he still holds significantly more US dollars than he does Chinese renminbi, he is short the Fangs — Facebook, Amazon, Netflix, and Google — which in his view are masking the early stages of a US equity pullback,” the report said.

Imagine arriving at your local airport one morning for a domestic flight to a neighboring city. You approach the security checkpoint and the TSA lackey asks for your identification. After handing him your driver’s license, you prepare to be groped as you pass through the checkpoint. But instead, the TSA man tells you your driver’s license is no longer accepted as identification for domestic flights. He asks you for your passport. Unfortunately, you don’t have a passport. A few months ago, you received a letter from the State Department stating that since you owed the IRS money, your passport was … Continue reading →

The story of the Bush crime family doesn’t end with good ‘ol Jeb Bush.  In fact, there seems to be an inheritance of elitism and criminality in the “SON OF JEB.”  That could be the title of a horror movie, and it would be better if it were.  Alas, the truth is always darker, especially when digging around the Bush family.   I mean, of course, George P. Bush.  The “P” stands for Prescott. Yes, George P. is named after his grandfather Senator Prescott Bush who made the family fortune financing the Nazi war machine and who’s Union Bank was seized by the Roosevelt Administration for treasonous activity … Continue reading →

Even by The Donald’s standards, his 95-minute long interview with the Washington Post was remarkable. He let loose so many stray shots as to leave the establishment press clucking in a chorus of disbelief. It undoubtedly started with the stink bomb he lobbied at the ” all is awesome” meme about the US economy and stock market: Donald Trump said in an interview that economic conditions are so perilous that the country is headed for a “very massive recession” and that “it’s a terrible time right now” to invest in the stock market, embracing a distinctly gloomy view of the economy that … Continue reading →

They are the little blue fruits which put the ‘super’ in superfoods. Blueberries are jam-packed with health-boosting compounds which have been linked to seemingly endless health benefits. From the Holy Grail of slowing the ageing process to fighting devastating ailments like heart disease and Alzheimer’s, blueberries have been hailed in numerous studies. A recent study placed them top of the list when it comes to antioxidant activity – compared to 40 other fresh fruits and vegetables.  Scientists at the US Department of Agriculture Human Nutrition Center put them top of the crops for mopping up harmful by-products of metabolism in … Continue reading →

Some politicians want to ban cash, arguing that cash is helping criminals. The first steps in that direction are the withdrawal of big denomination notes and the limits imposed on cash payments. Proponents of a ban on cash claim that this will help fight criminal transactions — involved in money laundering, terrorism, and tax evasion. These promises of salvation are used to get the general public to agree to a society without cash. But there is no convincing proof for the claim that the world without cash will be a better one. Even if undesirable behavior is indeed financed by … Continue reading →

Professor Victor Davis Hanson is a classicist and historian with the Hoover Institution at Stanford University. He recently wrote an article titled “The hypocrisy behind the student renaming craze.” Students, often with the blessing of faculty, have discovered that names for campus buildings and holidays do not always fit politically correct standards for race, class and sex. Stanford students have demanded the renaming of buildings, malls and streets bearing the name of the recently canonized Junipero Serra, an 18th-century Franciscan priest who was often unkind to American Indians. Harvard Law School is getting rid of its seal because it bears … Continue reading →

Under the auspices of “protecting clients from criminal activity,” JPMorgan Chase has decided to impose withdrawal limits on certain ATM transactions. As WSJ reports, following the bank’s ATM modification to enable $100-bills to be dispensed with no limit, some customers started pulling out tens of thousands of dollars at a time. This apparent bank run has prompted Jamie Dimon to cap ATM withdrawals at $1,000 per card daily for non-customers. Most large U.S. banks, including Chase, Bank of America Corp., Citigroup Inc. and Wells Fargo & Co. have been rolling out new ATMs, sometimes known as eATMs, which perform more … Continue reading →

Though no millennial metrosexual, I sleep next to my laptop, and this morning, an email came from a Japanese literary journal, Monkey, to ask me to name a short story I wish I had written. Editor Motoyuki Shibata also requested a one-hundred-word explanation, which I promptly knocked out while sipping Earl Grey at my kitchen table. Done, I had a breakfast of spaghetti with tomato sauce, SPAM, salami and chunks of cheddar cheese. You had to see it. Though I immediately thought of Borges, Kafka, and even Walser, I decided on Hemingway’s “The Sea Change,” a rather obscure yet groundbreaking … Continue reading →
