The Omaha Bugle-Global News Network

Send us Fan Mail Adam and Jeff discuss the recent 6-3 decision by the U.S. Supreme Court to strike down the Biden Administration's plan to forgive $400 billion in student loans.  Unfortunately for the free-wheeling President Biden, the Court ruled that he does not have the authority to waive his magic wand and make loan obligations of up to 46 million borrowers disappear.  Because the U.S. Co...

Send us Fan Mail Though currently embroiled in contract negotiations with the corporate brass at the Omaha Bugle,  Adam and Jeff continue with their discussion about the loan forgiveness plan proposed by President Biden which was recently struck down by the U.S. Supreme Court.  They view the Administration's cavalier attitude about adding another $400 billion to the national debt as symptomat...

Send us Fan Mail The Board of Directors of the Omaha Bugle authorizes Jeff and Adam to offer $1,000.00 to Taylor Swift, an up-and-coming singer-songwriter, to compose a new overture for the show.  Adam even tries to sweeten the offer by offering to give Taylor a few master-class guitar lessons.   Jeff and Adam then discuss the recent U.S. Supreme Court decision striking down affirmative action pro...

Send us Fan Mail Adam and Jeff discuss the recent settlement of income tax evasion charges by Hunter Biden in which he was given probation if he promised to try very hard to pay his taxes in the future.  Jeff acknowledges that Hunter Biden must have had very good lawyers because the typical outcome of a tax evasion charge is a lengthy trial with the attendant public ridicule followed by a few year...

Send us Fan Mail Still smarting from not having been invited to the bigwig economic conference in Davos, Switzerland, Adam and Jeff consider some of the changes caused by globalization over the past 30 years.  They also discuss whether a country with no democratic tradition (name any country that the United States military has ventured into in the past 50 years) can become a functioning, self-sust...

Send us Fan Mail China's continuing threats against Taiwan, its Asian neighbors and, basically, the rest of the world except for a few scattered grubby dictatorships and thugocracies illustrate its hostility to the current international legal and economic system.  Renowned armchair geopolitical experts Adam and Jeff consider the likelihood that China could successfully invade Taiwan even thou...

Send us Fan Mail The grossly-overpaid podcasting dream team of Adam and Jeff wonder why Joe Biden keeps falling down flights of stairs.   They conclude that his recent mishaps are probably not merely his personal renditions of traditional Serbo-Croatian folk dances.  Jeff points out that the Biden family, which is renowned throughout the world for its business prowess, is missing out on the opport...

Send us Fan Mail Adam and Jeff discuss whether corporations should donate company funds to charities of any sort.  Because companies are owned by shareholders, they argue that the corporate officers themselves should not be able to allocate monies for their own pet projects or political causes.  They also look at the Bud Lite marketing debacle whereby Anheuser-Busch hired a trans activist to reach...

Send us Fan Mail With cryptocurrencies posing a possible threat to the currency monopoly enjoyed by national governments, Adam and Jeff discuss the possible advantages and disadvantages of a digital currency backed by the full faith and credit (or whatever is left of it) of the United States.  Both are skeptical that there is any real benefit to be obtained by a full-blown switch to a digital curr...

Send us Fan Mail Adam and Jeff (who are not known for their mathematical skills or their ability to solve a Rubik's cube) examine whether mathematics is racist.  They suggest that the fact that much of modern mathematics was created by European pigment-deprived men does not mean that mathematics itself should be viewed as somehow hostile to  non-white minorities.  The claims of racism seems t...

Send us Fan Mail Adam and Jeff congratulate the newly-crowned King Charles but are still somewhat bitter about having been left off the guest list.  The coronation organizers' failure to coordinate scheduling times with the broadcasting segments of the Omaha Bugle is pointed out.   Adam suggests that the challenge for King Charles is to make the monarchy more relevant and more efficient in a...

Send us Fan Mail Adam and Jeff discuss recent negotiations by the corporate offices to bring an up-and-coming talent named Tucker Carlson to the Omaha Bugle so he can learn first-hand about becoming a hard-hitting journalist.  Jeff talks about China's recent role in helping Iran and Saudi Arabia agree to restore diplomatic relations--at least until they decide to sever them again.   China&apo...

Send us Fan Mail Adam and Jeff discuss the always popular battles that occur on Capitol Hill every year or so about increasing the debt ceiling.  Although the debt ceiling was created to require Congress to go on record to approve ever-greater spending, it does not seem to have deterred too many politicians from larding up the system.   Adam and Jeff believe drunken sailors are unfairly maligned a...

Send us Fan Mail The Omaha Bugle broadcast considers whether the concept of moral hazard exists in an age where the federal government seems hell-bent on rescuing every bank from every self-inflicted wound.  Adam and Jeff wonder who decides which banks survive and which banks are allowed to go out of business.  They are surprised that the people in power at both the banks and the federal governmen...

Send us Fan Mail Recent decisions by California and Oregon to allow homeless people camping in front of residences and businesses to sue property owners for "harassment" are considered by Adam and Jeff.   Would social justice warriors be so enthusiastic to have homeless camps in their own neighborhoods?  Do government officials even try to solve intractable problems such as homelessness...

Send us Fan Mail Adam and Jeff talk about the latest digital dump of classified documents and draw comfort from the Pentagon's soothing assurances that it will not happen again--at least not this week.  They also wonder why a Department of Defense budget of nearly $800 billion apparently does not have much funding for designing software to compartmentalize document retrieval systems.  Adam th...

Send us Fan Mail Adam talks about the trauma of nearly being banned from Facebook due to his having posted a quote by an urban terrorist named Benjamin Franklin.  Jeff wonders if the Facebook punk determining the worthiness of Adam's posting even knows anything about Benjamin Franklin.  Adam and Jeff point out that many people would simply prefer to silence individuals having opposing points...

Send us Fan Mail Adam and Jeff acknowledge that their office jobs which require them to labor under harsh florescent lighting and bear the discomfort of irregular air-conditioning cycles are, surprisingly, not among the most dangerous jobs in the world.  Indeed, the U.S. government has published a survey that states the top U.S. job in terms of deaths per 100,000 workers is logging, followed by fi...

Send us Fan Mail The Omaha Bugle's highest-paid correspondents, Adam von Romer and Jeff Weaver, discuss President Biden's most recent executive order which is designed to promote "equity" and support underserved communities even though it has, by its own statement, no legal effect.  They conclude that this executive order is little more than a sop to the far-left wing of the De...

Send us Fan Mail Adam and Jeff discuss China's most recent statements blaming the United States for Russia's invasion of Ukraine.  They point out that China--which is seeking to end the liberal economic trading system--has been one of the biggest beneficiaries of the open markets that have been encouraged and protected by the United States for the past seven decades.  China's vulner...

Send us Fan Mail Adam and Jeff discuss the international crisis caused by the Chinese balloon laden with spy equipment that recently floated across North America before being shot down over the Atlantic Ocean.  Jeff wonders whether our defense dollars are being well-spent if we cannot detect a slow-moving "hostile" balloon before it crosses over U.S. territory.  Adam and Jeff think that...

Send us Fan Mail Always eager to search for nuggets of wisdom in President Biden's public pronouncements, Adam and Jeff review a number of points offered by the chief executive in his 2023 State of the Union address.  They point out that the 12 million jobs supposedly created during Biden's first two years of office are largely imaginary, consisting primarily of people returning back to...

Send us Fan Mail The world's two smartest men, Adam and Jeff, consider whether China is poised to wrest the title of the world's largest economy from the United States.  The inflexibility of China's mercurial government and its ability to marshall enormous amounts of resources to finish large-scale projects is contrasted with the more open, even anarchic chaos of that of the United...

Send us Fan Mail The Omaha Bugle's crack broadcasting team discusses whether members of Congress should be subject to term limits.  Adam points out that the decision to limit the President to two terms occurred in part due to concerns that elderly and infirm (but popular) presidents could keep getting re-elected even if they were totally out of their minds.  Many people believe that lifetime...

Send us Fan Mail In the newly redecorated newsroom of the Omaha Bugle which features tasteful original paintings of dogs playing poker, Adam and Jeff discuss the Fed's numerous increases in the federal funds rate over the past year which have led to a doubling of the interest rates most consumers pay.  They talk about how these increases will have an explosive effect on the cost of financing...
