RIP Jules Feiffer

The New Neo Posted on January 22, 2025 by neoJanuary 22, 2025

The dynamic duo: Musk and Ramaswamy

The New Neo Posted on November 21, 2024 by neoNovember 21, 2024

They explain their plans for government efficiency (sounds like the oxymoron to end all oxymorons, doesn’t it?): Musk and Ramaswamy are correct: unelected bureaucrats passing “rules and regulations” have detracted America from what the Founders framed in the Constitution. DOGE … Continue reading →
