GIGOT IS BACK - ON FOX NEWS CHANNEL: WHAT, NO BROADCAST EXPOSURE?

The conservative revolution may be dead on PBS, but FOX NEWS CHANNEL has obviously listened to my pleas. Paul Gigot, and the WSJ Editorial Report have resurfaced at 11 PM on Sat. nights, with a repeat at 6AM Sun. (story)


Much like the liberal I used to be, I am not satisfied with that. FOX must make this show available to their broadcast audience, meaning those of us without cable. I say bring the Beltway Boys as well, and make it a 2 hour block with FOX NEWS SUNDAY on the FOX broadcast network every Sunday morning!


The commercials affected the time alotted to the panelists, and it seemed to show in their debut on FoxNews. I'm sure that they will get used to the new time constraints as they continue. This show has the potential to be the free-market equivalent of the 1970's MacNeil/Lehrer Report, which lives on as The News Hour with Jim Lehrer to this day on PBS.

Dan is the man. I can't even remember his last name, but his smirking face is etched in stone in my mind, as he gives the most sensible analyses available on TV, or elsewhere.

The same goes for Kim, my other favorite on the show. She may not have Dan's smirk, but she has the same good sense that I have come to expect from all of the people on this program. Bravo to you all, and here's hoping for greater viewership! You provide true public-service programming.

I get a kick out of the news reports labeling this program "conservative." I have not once heard PBS' NOW program labeled as "liberal," except in programs that investigate that subject. Speaking of which, maybe there is room for FOX NEWS' Media Watch show on the broadcast network, if they get rid of Neil and Jane...-JUST KIDDING! (I only wrote that because I know that they would disagree with me, and I didn't include their show in my Sunday "fantasy" lineup)

Even funnier is the last line of the news link: "Fox News Channel called the show interesting and well-produced, and likely to draw affluent viewers to the network." I think it may have a wider appeal, as noted in my last post about it.

The Biden Record, and the Democrats Who Supported It, Pt. 4: How Biden Blew Up the Economy With Inflation

   The US economy is in chaos. This is not "spin," or "opinion," but a fact. Some people aren't feeling it as hard as others, because they were well-off before the inflation started. Unfortunately, the worst is yet to come, and it will affect those "well-off" people, to a greater degree than it does currently, as the recession sets in. It also will present a crisis for government, as the interest rates for the chronic borrowing that sustains all of their largesse double, triple, or even quadruple. How did we get here, after what was shaping up as a robust recovery from the pandemic response inspired recession?    When Pres. Biden was elected, almost every policy that had been in place was reversed. We've looked at the disatrous results of this on the southern border , but what's happened to our economy has impacted many more Americans. It started out on day one, when Biden killed the KeystoneXL pipeline, followed by freezing new federal leases

The Biden Debacle Part II

  In my previous post, I wrote about Pres. Biden's disastrous policy at the border, as well as it's impact on the spread of COVID. I also noted his false promise of bipartisanship, and embrace of the far left agenda. This post will deal with some of that agenda, including it's impact on the economy, law enforcement, race relations, education and the military. They're all interconnected in no small way, and Pres. Biden is making a mess of them all. With the left wing ascendant in his own party, he has found it easier to go along with them, rather than work with Republicans, even when they propose policies that a majority of Democrats support. The economy was recovering before Biden assumed office, and yet he continues to push a long wish list of leftist policies in the name of "recovery." The extension of unemployment benefits is a good example of how they can backfire. While he denies that the extra payments were keeping people from returning to work, the sta

The Bogus Charges Against Pres. Trump, Part IV

      One can say many critical things about former Pres. Trump, many of which may be true. However, there is one thing that also is true, but is not critical: He has been the most unjustly accused president of the modern era. It's a fact: The "Russian collusion" allegations, which were not true. The two "impeachments," that didn't follow the regular House rules so blatantly that they were dismissed by the Senate both times, and now, a Manhattan DA has indicted Trump on the most spurious of grounds.    It's about time that DA Alvin Bragg was thrown out of office. This "prosecutorial overreach" should just be the final straw, because he has enough reasons preceding this. Abusing "discretion" to cover a "blanket" ban on prosecuting any specific offense is an abuse of power. He doesn't get to order his ADA's how to use their discretion, on specific crimes. It's incredibly ironic that he now is trying to upgrade a mi
