Why is everyone not chanting, “they’re taking your money” for the next 1100 days or so? Retirement account balances, social security, tax cuts for the rich, inflation, tariffs…it is an obvious and simple message.

Then add in the costs for delayed purchases, cancelled and restored contracts, missed decisions and opportunities.

We are talking hundreds of millions or possibly billions here (?). And how does that compare to the actual cost savings of DOGE?

I’d like to know which reporters are drafting FOIA submissions for the costs associated with the government travel restrictions: cancellation fees, wasted registrations, elevated airfares to return immediately to the office.

It isn’t insignificant.

Who is tracking the government bloat of renaming bases? New signs, new letterhead, name tags, etc. will run into the millions for just a single base.

I expect the Democtatic party to melt the budget down and die on every point of order. If not, they are complicit and they stand for nothing.

Eric Adams sold out this city to get the Trumps to fix his personal problem, simple as that.

Who can shed some light on the quality of these fluoride studies being cited? This morning's WSJ article "What the Science Actually Says About Fluoride in Drinking Water" cites a study ( pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37880740/) that can't even make conclusions about IQ. Plus the MADRES data seems narrow?

I promise that we will regret contacting them.

Comic by War and Peas. Panel 1: Two green aliens are at a press conference, sitting behind microphones. One alien happily says, "Jesus? We love that guy!" Panel 2: A human reporter with a microphone looks surprised and says, "We’ve been waiting centuries for his second coming." Panel 3: The first alien casually responds, "Really? He comes to us every year." The second alien adds, "We invited him for cookies. What did you do?" The reporter starts to sweat. Panel 4: Both aliens pause, looking inquisitive. One alien asks, "Wait. What did you do?" All reporters sweat.
