I dunno, it seems kind of obvious that, given you can get to a place, being able to walk around is more conducive to shopping. I mean, shopping malls were generally not built like giant drive-thrus.

THE HERITAGE FOUNDATION DID A STUDY TO FIND OUT HOW MANY PEOPLE VOTED IN A FEDERAL ELECTION THAT WERE UNDOCUMENTED. THEY FOUND A WHOPPING 77 VOTERS...IN 24 YEARS OF VOTING.
IN 24 YEARS, 1,008,643,528 PEOPLE HAVE VOTED, WHICH MEANS THEY HAVE UNCOVERED AN ASTOUNDING .00000764% OF VOTERS THAT VOTED ILLEGALLY.
THIS IS WHAT THEY ARE CALLING THE HUGE PROBLEM WITH VOTER FRAUD.

Voter fraud is not a real problem.

Our problem isnโ€™t non-citizens illegally voting in our elections. The real problem is American citizens not voting in our elections.

And our even bigger problem is voter suppression.

California grid electricity demand continues to decline despite 2.5 million EVs and lots of data centers in the state

2026 Demand on CAISO grid down 1.84% v '25; 1.22% v '24; and 2.27% v '23

Due to growth in behind-the-meter roof PV, which eliminates need for grid electricity

Charging EVs as fast as petrol?
The future is closer than we think โšก

One of the biggest barriers drivers still raise about EVs is charging time - with petrol refuelling seen as quicker and more convenient. That gap is about to shrinkโ€ฆ fast.

Chance of El Niรฑo forming in Pacific Ocean may push global temperatures to record highs in 2027 One expert says 2027 could be even hotter than the last three years, which have been the top three warmest on record

"I have predicted that 2027 will likely set a new record [for global temperature] if a moderate to strong El Niรฑo event ends up developing."

Lutnick and Epstein were in business together, Epstein files show Though the commerce secretary has called his interactions with Epstein as "limited," the two were in business together four years after Epstein's 2008 guilty plea.

Howard lied.

By the time Epstein and Lutnick agreed to buy stakes in Adfin, it had been more than four years since Epstein agreed to enter a guilty plea to Florida state charges of procuring a child for prostitution and soliciting a prostitute.

This is nuts. So the President is openly tying federal funding to putting his name on airports and train stations.

Quick question, where is Congress on this? They control the purse strings. Or did we skip that part of the Constitution too?
