    SNL in 1975 had the sharpest edge

    Now they’re as dull as a broom stick. Watch this two-minute bit with Chevy Chase and Richard Pryor. It’s about a black man who is interviewing for a job. This is the broadcast television of my youth. This is a sketch that could never be done today. SNL would be taken off the air. WARNING:…

    China supplants U$ Dollar for Yuan in cross-border transactions

    Trump sees Florida Ron DeSantis as his main competition for the Republican nomination for President of the United States. Therefore DeSantis can do no right. Trump is like Biden in that each man has no moral center or compass driving their actions. Both will say any stupid thing they think will move people in their…
