Hello Ron,

I like you, but I am unfollowing you because you post so many links to twitter and truth social. I don't support pedophiles and neither should you.

I will believe that the ICE/CBP invasion of Minnesota is about "law and order" when I see masked, armed IRS agents storming Wall Street and Rodeo Drive.

I just watched this yesterday with my wife. I am far more impressed by this than she will be.

Your message may be more effective if it were directed to your former colleague, and current Amazon director, Jamie Gorelick.

Holiday tip #18. Unsolicited advice has, at best, zero value.

Is the president sitting at his desk with people standing around him a new thing? Did Biden or Obama do this? It seems weird. Can he not stand long enough to give a press conference/speech anymore?

Why doesn't DHS care about Topeka?

Well, at least he got you to stop asking about the Epstein Files.

Today is Disney Purge Day. Cancel ESPN, Hulu, Disney+, Marvel Unlimited, and any other Disney service you can think of

I'm going through a Disney purge. Captain America fought against fascism and you should too.

No matter what's going on in your life, just remember... You're just a little piece of meat on a little rock being flung at almost unimaginable speed through a largely unknown universe.

My wife's and my experience today trying to get vaccines at Walgreens just furthers my belief that public health should not be put in private hands.

How does giving money help them, if food and medicine can't reach them?

Clearly, Europe should have erected statues of Hitler and left them standing so that JD Vance could remember how WWII ended.

Per the rest of the article, he is now deportable and does not want to risk being sent to a deportation center or some unknown country while he waits for the January 2026 court date.

When I visited in 2019, the gift shop was guarded by a Secret Service officer. I assume that it still is. Your tax dollars at work (for Trump).

If the US annexes Canada, then Carney can be elected US President.

The tariffs were supposed to raise government revenue to replace the revenue lost from making the 2017 tax cuts permanent. So will Congress pause making the tax cuts permanent or will Congress drive the US budget off a cliff?

MAGA is not a measurable goal. Is the goal of the tariffs to increase government revenue or "bring jobs back to the US"? How much or how many? By what date? Success or failure can't be determined if success is not defined.

It is no longer the Roberts Court, it is now the Trump Court.

Why should they? The US population is 5 percent of the world population. Those countries have 95 percent of the world left to trade with.

America stopped killing Nazis in 1945. That was a mistake.

America stopped killing Nazis 80 years ago. That was a mistake.
