Food for thought: Autism was discovered in 1911, while Tylenol was developed in 1950.

While in England, Trump couldn't help but wonder where he thought he originally saw Prince Andrew: he looked awfully familiar.

Since antifa is being classified as a terrorist organization, I thought it important to note that the domain (antifa.com) appeared initially under a St. Petersburg, Russia address in July of 2016. Where it remained until 2020 when it was transferred to a Panama address *after* the connection made.

Foreign investors disappear from US Treasury auctions, as China borrows at the lowest rates ever
YouTube video by Inside China Business Foreign investors disappear from US Treasury auctions, as China borrows at the lowest rates ever

Even when the Fed does lowers rates, the mortgage rates and other debt rates won't change and go down also: it won't matter.

OpenAI's CEO Sam Altman says in 10 years time college graduates will be working 'some completely new, exciting, super well-paid' job in space While Bill Gates has said the 2-day workweek could come within the next decade, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman says Gen Alpha college graduates will be too busy planet-hopping.

Will somebody please duct tape Altman's mouth shut?

The biggest IPO this year barred Americans โ€” and it was a huge success Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., the worldโ€™s largest maker of electric batteries, saw its shares rise as much as 18% on Tuesday after raising $4.6 billion in the top initial public offering of the...

So now Trump and the Republicans are looking to kneecap nascent green energy companies and anything associated with Biden's IRA, crippling any competition against China who leads in green energy development. Case in point: CATL's IPO.

Trump has imposed a lot of tariffs. But here's why collecting them can be hard Collecting Trump's tariffs could be tricky. The agencies that screen imports say they're frequently overwhelmed and understaffed, and experts say exporters are becoming cannier at evading taxes.

As many Federal employees are retiring or leaving and are not being replaced while DOGE wipes out inspectors. So, Musk wipes out the people that Trump needs to make tariffs work.

Our government (in)action.

Diseases are spreading. The CDC isn't warning the public like it was months ago Some of the CDC's main channels for communicating urgent health information to the public have gone silent.

This kind of development is to be expected when the Secretary of Health and Human Services enjoys swimming in raw sewage with his grandchildren while wearing blue jeans.
