I work in a market, beef prices are NOT coming down. And with all the regulations being stripped from the USDA/FDA's safety protocols, I wouldn't trust anything beef being imported.

Barack Obama isn't in the Epstein files & he never pressured the CDC to hide COVID case numbers before an election.

We should tax non-owner-occupied homes at a much higher tax rate AND a vacancy tax. Single family homes should never be โ€œincome propertyโ€ when millions cannot afford a first home. #banAirbnb

Never in my most cynical dreams did I imagine so many people willing to sell out their own country for money, attention, clout, out of spite, ignorance or hate.

That will remain the most heartbreaking part of this ordeal.

America is such a beautiful idea.

We are becoming unworthy of it.

Man detained in Minneapolis dies in ICE custody in Texas A man arrested by immigration officials in Minneapolis died in federal detention in Texas.

This is deeply disturbing, especially after reports of growing concerns about the conditions at this facility. An investigation must take place.

Rising electric bills are the number one concern I hear about across New Jersey, which is why I pledged to take bold action to freeze rate hikes and take on our grid operator, PJM.

just got out of an uber. the driver was telling me how he has to work 16 hour days, seven days a week, at two different jobs to afford rent. he doesn't have healthcare and he worries about retirement. "i would feel a lot better if we owned greenland," he told me. then he cried.

Bible sez: "Be careful not to practice your righteousness in front of others to be seen by them. If you do, you will have no reward from your Father in heaven...when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray...your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you." [Matt c6,vs1,6]

I live 30 minutes from Antietam and a little over an hour from Gettysburg. Gettysburg is a tourist trap. Antietam is the real deal. Walking along Antietam Creek, thinking of it running red with blood, is very moving and sobering.

I sure hope the IIHF is taking note of the piss poor attendance at the World JR hockey tournament this year and for other major sport federations to avoid hosting events in the USA.

That's a really good line and it definitely hits. 2025 was the year when the cowardice and cruelty of the elites was finally revealed and exposed.

Some who have commented are harking back to Obama. So am I. I'm also harking all the way back to FDR, as Ken Burns's documentary on the Roosevelts has reminded me. Eloquence understandable by anyone who hears it.

Have any of the police leadership that sat outside of Uvalde during the shooting been held to account?
