Messing With Texas
For about twenty years now I have had the unenviable role of quashing Democratic fever dreams about turning Texas blue.

Ted Cruz once appeared on TV,
To preach armed revolt overseas.
“Give Iranians the guns!”
But at home? “You’re thugs, sons.”
Turns out our rights transfer selectively.

Assclown Alert: Urging ICE to ‘recalibrate’ with Texas Gov. Greg Abbott
Abbott's remark is a bloodless cop-out meant to distance himself from a catastrophe he's cheered on.

Any Democratic votes to fund DHS later this month as Minneapolis is being terrorized by DHS is going to be a major slap in the face to Americans living here. Demand major reforms or shut the government down.

Weird to be commemorating the 250th anniversary of the Am Rev while living under a government that has a) sent armed troops to occupy cities perceived to be too rebellious, b) rendered largely irrelevant the representative branch of government, and c) claimed imperial right to rule other countries.

because I can freely download two different child pornography generating apps on Apple's App Store and the Google Play store, both very popular and highly ranked, I must conclude that Apple and Google endorse that activity
New: Trio of Dem senators urge Apple and Google to enforce their own terms of service and ban X, Grok apps for their flood of nonconsensual sexual imagery.
I've repeatedly asked both Apple and Google about this for three days. They're completely silent, seemingly hoping the question just goes away.

Senators urged Apple and Google to remove X and Grok from app stores over sexual deepfakes
“Turning a blind eye to X’s egregious behavior would make a mockery of your moderation

If the US holds Venezuela, we will seize 17% of oil -- yesterday's technology. If China uses this precedent to take Taiwan, it will own 60% of semiconductors -- tomorrow's technology. See what happens when you elect evil & stupid at the same time?
