Behold the devastation that Israel has inflicted on Gaza. Oops, sorry! That's a Japanese city we firebombed in WW2. The Allies leveled German cities, as well -- Dresden, Hamburg, Berlin. And let's not forget the utter destruction of Nagasaki and Hiroshima, which saved

If Scott Bessent wants to say democratic states and individuals are underachievers who are jealous of jobs, he should help create someone and answer why republican states are dead last in health care, income, education, infrastructure, fiscal stability, and overall well being.

What's the meaning of the Greek concept of "filotimo?" I'll give you a hint. It has to do with personal honor, and it's sorely absent these days. Please click the link. And please forward it to your Greek-American friends. Or to anyone who loves film. AllisonBurnett.com/filotimo.html

Disney's new CEO, whose pay package is worth nearly $45M, just announced 1,000 layoffs. Reminder that Disney paid an effective federal income tax rate of ZERO in 2025 and aims to buy back $7B of its own stock in 2026. This is what corporate greed looks like.

In 1924, one of FDR's advisors wrote to him, "Prosperity from the Republican point of view means the prosperity of a few great corporations and such crumbs of prosperity as drop from their table for the benefit of the country at large." In short, little has changed

In a stack of papers, I just bought an income tax table from 1944. If you made more than $200,000, you paid $151,140 in taxes on the 200K plus 88 percent of anything over that.

Watch closely. The Administration may seek to get in bed with the dangerous Iranian cult MEK. The MEK was tied to Saddam Hussein and was on the US terrorist list. Rudy Giuliani, Louis Freeh, Newt Gingrich and others supported and took money from them to get them off the list. Bad bedfellows!
