This is just setting the precedent to deny benefits to all veterans as outlined in Project 2025.

This is where I want every Democrat to be on gun control. Gun crime across the country (and even across borders in Mexico) is driven by states like Ohio.

But of all the places in Ohio, we chooses to live in Cincinnati and shut down a major street for weeks at a time whenever he is in town.

And a little preview of my talk, the direct route from Samarqand to Chach wasn't opened up until the Abbasid era when a series of cisterns were installed. During the conquest, you would hug the mountains to Ferghana and then backtrack to Chach.

I'm jealous about Turkmenistan. We're saving our travels for after the conference.

And cutting social programs that actually prevent crime rather than simply respond to it after the fact.

We could go back to taxing large corporations and the wealthy. After all, the idea was that lowering these taxes (and shifting the burden onto local communities and property taxes)would bring investment, jobs, and a growing population, but how did that work out?

I just saw a good example of what I was talking about with chatgpt being a crackpot generating machine.

A guy had started Wheeler's Spacetime Physics, and had a problem on page 2.

Wheeler expressed a square root as a power of 1/2.

√a = a^1/2. This is basic algebra, not physics.

2 journalists among 15 charged with felonies after Roebling Bridge ICE protest Two of the at least 15 people arrested by Covington police at a protest Thursday evening work for CityBeat. They are facing felony charges.

Disturbed to read that two journalists at the alt weekly Cincinnati CityBeat were charged with felony rioting while covering an ICE protest. CityBeat gave me my first-ever journalism internship in college.

But while House Dems have done a lot with a little, Senate Dems have real power and have *too-often* shied away from using it under Schumer.

For example...

Had they forced a govt shutdown, there’s a very real chance that neither the Trump megabill nor the rescissions would be law right now. 4

Normally I would say come work with me, but it's a different department and I'm on sabbatical until August 2026, so... If you're an archaeologist who wants to be where I won't be for a year.

I'm glad we spend money on this rather than waste it on useless crap like cancer research.

With violent crime rates and police budgets spiking in tandem, maybe #Cincinnati should try something like this instead of the total opposite.

I really really do not think most Democratic politicians understand how many normie democrats think we will need Nuremberg-esque truth & reconciliation investigations and trials of leading Republican officials the next time we are in power
