Real question: When can we stop paying federal income tax since, apparently, the federal government doesn’t do anything anymore?
In the nine months since Donald Trump returned to office, Russell Vought has frozen vast sums of federal spending, terminated tens of thousands of federal workers, slashed federal aid, and, in a few cases, brought entire agencies to a standstill. https://newyorkermag.visitlink.me/gf64YG

It will never not be crazy stupid & dysfunctional to me that the government of the United States of America is shut down just to keep its president from being exposed as a serial child sexual abuser.

I feel like more people in power need to watch “Pretty Woman.” The moral of the story is that heading up a private equity firm that strips companies of their assets and then file for bankruptcy makes no one happy.

A new restaurant opened in my town, and they have a $8,300 bottle of wine on the wine list. So, what I’m saying is that we need to eat the rich.

Pushing back works!
Thank goodness: after an outpouring of public dissent, Lackland reversed its terrible decision and will thankfully be teaching recruits about the Tuskegee airmen and the Women Airforce Service Pilots again. A reminder that we must always push back: www.expressnews.com/news/article...
Air Force says new recruits will again learn about Tuskegee Airmen
The head of the service's San Antonio-based training command said a video about the pioneering Black aviators would remain in the basic training curriculum.

I've built a machine that can be Confidently Wrong. It can also make pictures that all look a bit the same, as well as make a video of you kissing any celebrity or person you know. In payment, I'd like to boil the world's oceans dry, & steal all literature. For some reason, my head is not on a spike
