Big Balls’s past gets more scrutiny β€” including the internship where he was terminated.

β€œYou’re willing to risk our entire network to a 17-year-old?” one frustrated executive asked the company’s CEO in 2022. β€œAre you for real right now?”

DOGE claims to have saved $55 billion.

WSJ is able to find $2.6 billion over a multiyear period.

Elon is taking a sledgehammer to the government over 0.2%.

This is not about economics.

If any of our former NATO or Five Eyes allies have intelligence data and assessments, which surely they must, about the background of the leader of their new strategic adversary, the United States, now is as good a time as any to release them, subject to protection of methods and sources, of course.

Home insurance in areas hit by repetitive disasters is going to be the number one housing affordability issue over the next 4 years. And possibly going into the midterms.

More so than interest rates. Florida in particular is going to have huge problems.

People need to calm down about the Oreshnik missile. (Not about the strike itself, which was barbarous Putin chest-thumping.)
It's a medium range ballistic missile. Of course it's faster than the speed of sound because that's what ballistic missiles do. Don't fall for "AMAZING SUPERWEAPON" hype.

Opinion | The Pete Hegseth Sexual Assault Accusation If the Trump transition was taken by β€˜surprise,’ did he not disclose it?

WSJ EDITORIAL BOARD: ".. If Mr. Trump wasn’t informed about this political liability before announcing the nomination, he might reasonably wonder what else Mr. Hegseth hasn’t told him."

Just my 2 cents. But my goal is to ignore the trolls. Give them zero attention. Block them if they annoy me.

I think the worst thing we can do on this site is re-create the ad hominem/ personal attacks that occur across comments on Twitter/insta/tiktok/ etc
