  1. So, just want to nail down commitments from the folks who support this action. Do you support similar active military action to seize Greenland? Because it is going to happen. Show us your principles. You’re going to need to stick with them.
  2. He’s never leaving office. None of what he has been doing matches the actions of a man who expects not to hold the office for life.
  3. One thing that’s becoming pretty fucking clear. The chances of us having legitimate, functioning elections in 2026 are dropping below 50%, and the chance of us having ANY national-office elections in 2028 is approaching zero. Oh, and another rock-solid guarantee: the usual suspect who tell me I have TDS, that will never happen, nobody wants that, etc…when it happens, will be split 50/50 between being for it all along, and being dead silent. Because the greatest enemies this republic has are the collaborators within who are joyfully supporting its dismantling.
  4. Was the “German/Japanese” path “cut the Dear Leader in on a 10% vig on all ‘reconstruction,’ concessions, etc…on top of a healthy tip of billions in crypto?” Because if it wasn’t, a fraud you’re going to be very disappointed in the coming years. On the bright side, it will be illegal for you to express any such disappointment.
  5. This is the entire story: “This incredible thing last night... We have to do it again [in other countries]. We can do it again, too. Nobody can stop us." That’s it. We are about to go on an orgy of violent conquest. It doesn’t stop with Venezuela. Not even close. We’re just going to take places, countries, etc, because we want to. The story of the US in this era is nothing more complicated than “Putin, but with lots more money and a much, much better military.” We are now officially everything Putin wants to be. Maduro is shit. But legitimate countries don’t do this shit. And then threaten their neighbor and ally Mexico - MEXICO, FFS - with the same thing. The only rock-solid guarantees here: 1) we’re going to do a lot more of this, with even LESS justification, 2) in the end, the Venezuelan people aren’t going to end up materially better off because this was NEVER about them, and 3) Trump will be massively personally enriched as a result.
  6. Century. You meant “century.” We are well into a new dark age of human history, and the bleakest part of that is that we’ve only just begun.
  7. What if we told you that one of the primary purposes of Elmo’s purchase of Twitter was to INCREASE the spread of CSAM, make it easier and safer to produce and create, and ensure that the small cadre of billionaires who literally run the planet got their “fair share” of profit from the sexual exploitation of minors?
  8. Chavez bad. Maduro bad. And we are a rogue state run by a psychopathic madman, and we are now fully into a new era of global conquest and capture by powerful against weak. Everything old is new again.
  9. You sound like a woke idiot who hates freedom. Stifling regulations are anti-freedom and pro-commie.
  10. Yeah. It’s just a mystery why the Nobel committee hasn’t engraved his name on the next Peace Prize. He’ll probably kidnap a couple of them to force them to do it. It would probably work. He’s a fucking psychopath.
  11. Man….the stuff in the next round of Epstein documents must be TERRIBLE.
  12. They mistyped “2000s,” and mis-wrote “millennium.” We are well into a new “digital dark age,” and it will last for hundreds of years or until total civilization collapse, whichever comes first (and you know how I’m betting).
  13. The Lebowski lesson was a good 95% of the reasoning behind placing their ashes together in a biodegradable container rather than just “scattering” them. And it was windy AF today, so it surely would have been a travesty. And yeah…I chose the correct Gulf name pretty damned deliberately. FFS, the boy read a poem in Nahuatl, so that’s how we roll. That, and literally hundreds of years of family history around that body of water with its correct name.
  14. And if you were wondering, while it was a bit rough (and the boy does NOT do well in heavy seas of any sort, so he needed to head back in after a short time out there), we DID fish for just a bit afterwards. My folks actually would have loved that.
  15. Mom was born in NOLA, along the Mississippi. She grew up along the coast. Dad was born near the banks of the Rio Grande. The Texas coast was his retreat. He’d fish for hours, in contemplation. He shared that gift with me. Around 20 years ago, when they had returned to Houston and re-settled there, they decided to look for a beach house. They looked in Galveston (I had grown up with Saturday trips down to east beach, and visits with friends who had modest places on the west end), but it was pricey, and they were discouraged. One weekend, I went down and had them join me on a trip to Surfside Beach, where I’d been fishing and duck hunting recently. They loved it. Soon after, they found and bought a house on Bluewater Highway, 3rd row from the beach. They had it for 10 years. They spent a lot of time there, just the two of them. But also with their grandkids, who grew up with the place. And they were generous with it - countless friends and such would use it for a week with just a handoff of the keys. MaybeACoordinator would stop in some times. I recall one afternoon, as we sat in folding chairs on the beach, he was talking about Follet’s island in general and said “you know, I just think of the place as a Brisket family place.” My parents wanted to rest together. My dad missed my mom so much. We went offshore about 8.5 miles today. The wind picked up overnight, it was a bit bouncy, and not the easiest ride. And, when we got to the place, it all washed over me. It was hard getting the words out. We all had something to say. My wife - gifted as she is - had even put together a simple liturgy, which she delivered from the back of the boat as it swayed side to side. My parents’ ashes (in a biodegradable envelope meant for such use) floated for a moment, then sank to return to the sea. These were my words. I don’t think they are enough. Nothing ever will be. But they poured into and out of me one night, and there they were. The Gulf drinks earth-rich water Not from the blue-crystal rivers of poems But brown channels of life and grit and truth Mississippi Bravo Brazos Colorado. Meandering tracing of life lived in a place The paths and barriers that make us That carry us to what we will be Emptying in a jumble of everything we were, into the sea. Earth has a heart The sea’s curling waves pushed by each beat Whooshing in our ears as the first sound of our mother A rhythm from the time before time A promise that time does not end. She bears love, and life, and tempest-blown fury Our relationship status is “complicated” But always binding Salt lives in both waves and tears for a reason. Teeming with memories both fresh and fading A bowed rod at sunrise, shining speckled sides glinting at the end Joy and innocence in the sandy playground at water’s edge Walks on her winter shore, side-by-side Combing for treasures While treasure is already in hand. She is womb and grave Carrying souls to shore, where they walk for a time On sand, firm with the sea And soft from the wind Until the moon calls them to ride the falling tide back home. A lull. Another set. Life-flecked foam left on the beach, already fading Erased. Re-created. Her waves, God’s infinite loop They are in them Together They always will be. Last night, we walked along the beach. On the sea-firm sand, and its wind-blown softness. Today was harder than I thought it would be. They belong to the sea now. They belong to God. As do we all.
