Retired engineer; gone guy from Twitter. Don't mess with me - I have daughters. Please, no DMs unless we're close friends. I believe that consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds.

Scott Bessent, on Fox, said beef prices are high because immigrants from South America bring cattle with them as they come here, and that cattle is infected with disease. Bessent didn't explain - did they smuggle their cattle in luggage?

I find him - and his hypothesis - udderly ridiculous.

Grammar complaint/question regarding the alleged Kirk shooter: Isn't there a difference between "family member turned him into police" and "family member turn him in to police"? When I see the first one, it just seems so wrong.

This thug was arrested in Newport News, VA. He was arrested for J6 insurrection and pardoned by Trump. Hope he goes back to jail for a long time.

I retired in October of 2000. Thanks in part to Joe Biden, I have more money in my 401k plan than I did when I retired. Thanks primarily to the orange menace, however, I have significantly less than I did on January 20.

Reciprocal tariffs? In math, a reciprocal is when you flip a fraction on its head. I'm feeling pretty flipped off right now.

Not endorsing this but, make Canada 51st state. Larger population than California - LOTS more Dems in House of Reps. More likely: ten provinces become ten states (leave territories alone) - LOTS more Dems in Senate. Doesn't seem like a smart GOP plan.
