  1. I shared your optimism about our military holding the line until a recently retired military friend of mine cautioned against being so confident.
  2. That will end the practice of every Californian receiving a ballot by mail. Trump hating voting by mail.
  3. Well, Elon and his assistant, Trump, plan to send 5-10 thousand dollar checks to SS recipients who will be duped into thinking its a good idea, only to be disabused of that notion when they receive SS checks that have been reduced by 2/3. Bamb! There’s your savings. Easy Peasy
  4. This just in: On Jesse Watters Primetime on Fox News on Wednesday, recently confirmed Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick hailed the work of Musk’s so-called Department of Government Efficiency, which is “gonna cut a trillion dollars of waste fraud and abuse,” Lutnick said. “You know Social Security is wrong, you know Medicare and Medicaid is wrong, so he's going to cut one trillion,” Lutnick added. “Get rid of all these tax scams that hammer against Americans and we’re gonna raise a trillion dollars in revenue, and our objective, under Donald Trump, is to balance this budget.”
  5. Okay, so that’s one and even he’s not advocating abolishing the 1st amendment.
  6. Watched John Oliver’s season 12 premiere last night. I don’t know why I ever even bothered with Bill:
  7. The working class people who voted for Trump don’t care about the price of eggs as much as they support Trump’s ability to make them feel secure.
  8. That’s not why we have a second Trump administration, or a first one, for that matter.
  9. The largest voting bloc in the Democratic Party is working class.
  10. Este.
  11. But neither compares with Trump’s Helsinki speech. The world watched in wonder.
  12. It’s all the fault of the migrants. That’s why Abbott wants “his” 11 billion dollars back.
  13. I’m going to give New Yorkers “How to Detect Butter Biscuits” lessons.
  14. It’s the damndest thing ever. Like a thief in the night - gone.
  15. With a MSM media that are cravenly profit driven, is it even realistic to expect anything else?
  16. Even the B listers must be harder to book. Good.
  17. Twice, do you think those present came away thinking how smart Vance is? I just hope we don’t “Ted Cruz” him explaining away odious behavior that ostensibly belies his brilliance.
  18. There are any number of politicians who can deliver a speech that pisses off our allies. What Vance did was unremarkable and predictable. That was SDE.
  19. I’m halfway through ABC Nightly News and I had to stop watching. Stories about laying off thousands of federal workers willy nilly, including essential medical professionals at the CDC and National Nuclear Security Administration, and Vance overseas upbraiding European allies (calling them the enemy within) for resisting the far right Nazi lite Party in Germany, is just too much. How can anybody watch what’s being done to our country and not be enraged, is beyond me.
  20. We should call this what it actually is. It’s not a coup. It’s a handover.
  21. Has Abbott said anything about this or is he gonna let Sec’y Kennedy handle it? (AP) - The ongoing measles outbreak in West Texas has doubled in size to 48 cases, mostly in children and teens, making it the state’s worst in nearly 30 years. State health officials said Friday in a news release that those who are infected are either unvaccinated or their vaccination status is unknown. Thirteen people have been hospitalized. The outbreak has spread from its epicenter in Gaines County, with single-digit cases in nearby Lynn, Terry and Yoakum counties. Officials in the area also expect the outbreak to continue to spread in these communities. South Plains Public Health District Director Zach Holbrooks said earlier this week that some of the cases appear to be connected to private religious schools
  22. Taking coaches from Tech hasn’t even been a mixed bag for Texas. It hasn’t worked out. I’d be wary going to that well again. Lincoln Riley to Tech will never happen even if he gets fired from SC
  23. We don’t care about leading anymore. It costs too much - Republicans.
  24. President Musk is not playing around: https://www.wfaa.com/article/news/local/dallas-county/ut-southwestern-medical-lose-100m-annually-if-nih-cuts-take-effect-official-says/287-55d26ef0-c430-40f9-b1f6-c4b4d68e7798 DALLAS — UT Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas could lose up to $100 million if a rate cut proposed by the National Institutes of Health goes into effect, UT Southwestern Medical Center President Dr. Daniel Podolsky warned this week. On Friday, the National Institutes of Health announced changes to how it would reimburse research institutions, like UT Southwestern, for indirect costs related to medical research. These indirect costs, also called facilities and administrative costs, help pay the costs of running a research lab, but aren’t related to a specific grant.
  25. Chuckle. Alpha man.
