We all knew that this would be coming. In 2026, the rate of AI-related layoffs has greatly accelerated, and that means that large numbers of good paying jobs are suddenly disappearing from the economy.

Many young people specifically chose a major in college that would prepare them for positions in the tech industry because those were supposed to be the jobs of the future. Unfortunately, the AI jobs apocalypse is wiping out those jobs the fastest. Let me give you…

The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) formally closed its operations on July 4 as investigating fraud government-wide becomes an integral part of the Trump administration’s agenda. DOGE wrote on X on July 4: “Far and away the best prize that life offers is the chance to work hard at work worth doing.” While the formal mission of DOGE has come to an end, the mission to eliminate waste, fraud, and abuse will continue. Good stewardship of taxpayer dollars and accountable government are not temporary initiatives. We hope those principles endure long into America’s next 250 years. It has been our…
Larry David almost went out on top. Then he made the mistake of getting mixed up with Barry and Michelle Obama. No one has to watch HBO’s Life, Larry, and the Pursuit of Unhappiness to know it stinks. We’ve all seen the trailers and promos, which reek of desperation, of the legendary Larry David counting on his legacy as he becomes a self-parody, yelling at famous figures throughout American history. It reminds me of Lucille Ball’s final sitcom, 1986’s Life With Lucy, with the 75-year-old embarrassing herself, hoping to recreate the magic that made her a superstar 30 years earlier. It…
