Y’all don’t actually expect Dubya to forcefully speak up about 47 do you?

AI can be a huge benefit to humanity or it can be the Devil. Left unregulated, it will almost certainly be the Devil.

Show me how it powers itself without being a burden to the world we all share. Solve some Big Problems.

Once it does that I will begin to believe in its positive potential.

There is no excuse for what the president posted on social media. Your first response would normally be β€œWhich post?”

But today you know exactly what I mean.

It’s disgusting, it’s hurtful and it’s intentional.

It damages all of us.

The worst-kept secret in Gainesville is out - I’m running for re-election!

You deserve a mayor you can trust to deliver for working families across Gainesville. I always have, and I always will.

I’m asking for your vote and your trust once more on August 18th. Thank you!

I don’t think this is going to turn out the way Comer thinks it’s going to turn out.

So it was OK that a huge chunk of the bitcoin economy was always helping the dark internet thrive, as long as it want this particular brand-name evil person?

You want a non-partisan statement? I stand with this one from the US Conference of Mayors as well.

Just data, no judgement. I’ve tracked the same seven grocery items at the same store nearly every week for a year. As of yesterday, 1/23/26, it would have cost 2.74% more to buy this basket of groceries than it did the week the current president was sworn-in.

As of this posting, none of the first 11 headlines in my NYT feed includes the T word.

It is a glorious afternoon to be alive.

The polling represented here was completed before ICE abducted a five-year-old child. I don’t imagine the 61% figure would be lower today. This foolishness must end.

If you were a former KGB agent trying to functionally ruin the US, what would you do differently than what is currently happening?

This Greenland thing is not in the best interests of the American people.

That ought to be obvious, but here we are.

In July of 2024 Kevin Roberts at the Heritage Foundation (Project 2025) said, on Steve Bannon’s podcast, that the β€œSecond American Revolution” was in process and that it would be bloodless β€œIf the left allows it to be.”

And America responded, β€œYeah, but Joe Biden is old and Harris laughs too loud.”

I’m not saying the current administration is filled with Russian agents. I’m asking how much different the actions of the administration would be if it WERE filled with Russian agents. I don’t think there’s a lot of daylight between the two.

Hey, TV news producers:

Nobody elected Miller.

You don’t owe him screen time.

But when you give it to him, you lose me as a viewer.

You DO owe your advertisers viewership.

Consider carefully.

You should watch the video.

Download it before it disappears.

The image I choose to remember from January 6, 2021 is this one of Andy Kim, then a sitting member of the US House and now a US Senator, doing the literal work of cleaning up after a violent, but failed, coup.

This is what leadership and patriotism look like in the real world.

When we invade a country and the president - any president - tells you it won’t cost us anything you should hold on to your wallet tightly.

The War Powers Act and the AUMF have been, generally speaking, failures at keeping presidents from making durable war.

What is a better system?
