I have no credit card debt and my credit score is in the 800s. I got a letter from Macy’s telling me that my old Macy’s credit card that I haven’t used in years will have its interest rate increased from 22% to 30%. This is Macy’s response to Amazon.

You’re aware, I’m sure, that a lot of people thought “Joe Biden” was being play-acted in the White House over his four years there by a series of look-alike actors. You saw those news items comparing “JB’s” earlobes to the old gaffer who showed up at the podium on a given day. Hmmmmmm. . . . I was not persuaded by any of that. “Joe Biden” has simply been impersonating himself — play-acting the role of “president.” The […]

Confirmation hearings for President-elect Donald Trump’s cabinet picks kicked off Tuesday with a feisty showdown between Pete Hegseth and Democrats on the Senate Armed Services Committee. Hegseth, a veteran and Fox News talking head, is an unorthodox pick to lead the Pentagon. He argued that’s exactly what the Defense Department (which I am obliged to remind you has still never passed an audit) needs. “It’s time to give someone with dust on his boots the helm,” Hegseth told the […]
