Good morning, everyone. As the horrific events unfolded Mondayin the nation’s capital, with social media displaying its inadequacy to provide alacrity and accuracy, how depressing was it to see the reflexive reactions on right and left? Gun control!!!! Enforce gun laws!!!! Really, dear Flashees? Is every tragedy simply an opportunity for some to exploit for a political agenda? Depressing.
I moderated a panel Monday before the Turnaround Management Association, which is a very conservative group...
President Obama told GOP senators he would authorize bombing Syria "because we think we can get away with it," Sen. Dean Heller said last week in a wide-ranging interview in which he first said he would not shut down the federal government but then said he would not vote for a budget that contains Obamacare.
Heller's comments came Friday evening during an interview on Vegas PBS' "Nevada Week in Review" in which he also said the left is "all for" bombing Syria and half of Democrats want to shut...

I tasked my Weekly Insiders this week with looking at the margin tax as well as a telescopic gaze at what the...
Good morning, everyone. Triskaidekaphobics should be extra careful today as bad luck is everywhere. And I cannot guarantee that if a mishap befalls you that Mark Manendo will be able to fly to the rescue. I’m not sure how many heroic feats that guy has in him, so if you are worried about what might happen on Friday the 13th, best thing might be to stay home and watch reruns of “Ralston Reports.” Nothing bad ever happens there.
Speaking of the program, take note: On Monday, we will finally sync...
