Christian Nationalism is NOT Christianity, but it is a national security threat.

The fire at Glasgow central station is utterly devastating. Shops, homes and our transport link to England are being wiped out.
I am amazed by the limited news coverage.

I Could Be Wrong.

The United States is the strongest when its leader shows restraint, not recklessness. When they follow the Constitution, not their impulses. When they treat the decision to use force as a national decision and not a personal one. Read: cbwrong.blogspot.com/2026/03/most...

So Justin's partner in crime, Nate Cavanaugh, was also asked "what is DEI" and he comes up with "making decisions on the basis of something other than merit."

And then says that "DEI" grants are "wasteful and unnecessary."

I wonder if Farage and Badenoch are having a little think about whether they should have been so gun-ho about supporting this war. You sure that's going to be a popular long-term position pal?

Anyone who thinks oil is coming down in price for years is fooling themselves. The US is taking out a major oil producer. Who's making money from this? Oil companies

When are we going to stop oil wars?

Get ready for gas prices to be really high for a decade, at least

I'm going to stay home, more

Fertiliser disruption from Iran conflict prompts global food shortage warnings Prices have jumped and exports been hit as war puts pressure on one of the world’s largest producers

If we need to triage fertilizer, we should look to where it's most useless: ethanol (not food) and animal feed (an ultimately inefficient way of producing food).

Food not fuel or feed = less demand for land and fertilizer/other inputs + less externalities.

Security Researchers Warn Age Verification Laws Are Building a Global Surveillance System The people who spent their careers building the security systems governments want to exploit for age verification have finally had enough.

371 security/ privacy academics, including a Turing Award winner, just issued a letter saying age verification laws are building global surveillance infrastructure. Every search, message, and article read would require ID verification.

Democrats are working w/ Republicans to push these laws through
