Our society’s conflation of wealth with virtue is the underlying problem. No kings. No slaves. No Nazis. Sometimes going to war is the right thing to do.

This from the lawyer who successfully argued the tariff case before SCOTUS, casts huge doubt over the applicability of the statute the @POTUS is relying on to slap down a new 15 percent global tariff.

I detest her, but she looks good for her age. Even better, 60 is a perfect age for her to retire.

Taking the Wins There’s good news to report on many fronts, and we should not only enjoy them but understand what they mean going forward.

Great read from the Status Kuo
"...There is still no justice for the murdered victims, the investigation remains politically tainted, and many residents illegally detained and transported to concentration camps have yet to be returned home..."
But there are wins

There is no specific Constitutional prohibition of shooting a man after pinning him down, pepper spraying him, and taking his gun. So while the radical left may choose to bring charges against the men who shot Alex Pretti, those charges would not be rooted in the Constitution.

The man who told reporters it’s time to move on from the Epstein files won’t shut up about the 2020 election.

i think my academic employer’s refusal to provide indoor bike parking (e.g. in its very spacious underground parking garage) is premised on the claim that such storage poses a “fire hazard.”

i just want to remind everyone that not all cyclists ride ebikes.

A Secret Oil Cartel Might Have Killed Our Clean-Energy Future In a landmark antitrust case, Michigan alleges oil companies colluded to “capture and kill” clean-energy and electric-vehicle efforts.

Big Oil "purchased solar and EV patents to ensure others couldn’t use them, solicited control of renewable markets and then abandoned them, and funded powerful institutions to promote false solutions, all while using trade groups to downplay the harms of fossil fuels, according to the complaint." 😠

Trump LOSES IT and ATTACKS Journalist Over Epstein COVER-UP
YouTube video by Katie Phang Trump LOSES IT and ATTACKS Journalist Over Epstein COVER-UP

Whenever Trump is asked about the Epstein Files, he runs scared, lies, & lashes out at reporters, especially the female members of the media.

I share my thoughts on why Trump’s terror over the Epstein Files is a tell & why mainstream media needs to get its shit together.

Realized we were out of foil to cover a dish I was cooking in oven and had a brief moment of "what the heck did people do before foil??" and then remembered I have several dutch ovens.

Done.

We can’t have someone enforcing the law who isn’t even following the law himself. The American people deserve to know if Tom Homan took $50k from an FBI undercover agent and what he did with the money.

Who would accept that job after the way Robert Mueller and Jack Smith have been treated? If there is a true patriot who will do it, God bless him or her.
