“God is on Trump’s side. God is not on the Democrats’ side and if patriots have to kill 60 million of these communists, it is God’s will. Think ethnic cleansing but it’s anti-communist cleansing.”
William McCall Calhoun Jr.
Bessent said in October that they would only return 50% of collected tariffs. Take it for what it's worth.

That would be a high end brothel in Seattle, 1900. What Friedrich Trump aspired to at his joint in the Yukon.

There are no errors in AI output. AI produces alternative facts, obviously. Why? Because alternative facts are freedom.

Since Bush vs Chávez a couple of decades ago I've yet to see one article describing VZian politics. I never went looking mind you but it's a blank. How the oil money surely shapes it all, with a long history is my guess. Why are all the VZ migrants silent about things back home? Who are the sides?

Trump weighs bombing Indianapolis to put down the growing rebellion in IN.

That these guys who have little to say but are paid to say it for 20 or 30 years is stupid but one must pity them because they actually believe what they say means jack shit.

When I saw Apple's 1984 ad during the Super Bowl I pretty much knew I would never buy an Apple product. Or that's the way I remember it now. I instinctively abhorred a corporation hijacking Orwell's visions of control as if they represented freedom.

Stephen Miller's stock sale raises question?

Please God, make it stop.

As of 2025, the U.S. health industry employs an estimated 19 to 20 million people, representing roughly 12% of the entire national workforce. Making healthcare the largest employment sector

Or one reason healthcare is so expensive and why there is no plan B.

I recommend my shorthand version.

Roberts said "I will call balls, strikes". Everyone thought he inserted 'and'.

If you have a cache of topics and articles to keep as a digital time capsule to look at in 20 years, which I recommend, I suggest this one. It will remind you of your current profound naïveté.

It demonstrates the centrality of race to the MAGA world view. Their madness.

So the Treasury selling securities is now creating money. Until the trade blows up.

Hedge funds are buying huge amounts of Treasury paper, shorting that amount in the futures market to reap their price convergence as the futures near expiration. Usually. This is a carry trade.
They then repo the Treasuries, a short term transaction, giving them cash which funds the purchases.

A better bet is Nuzzi becoming Editor in Chief of CBS News.I mean, come on, Bari isn't even a blond

The white English speaking Christian's love/hate relationship with Jews demonstrates where the Age of Reason collapsed long ago for huge swaths of Americans. Terrifying for some but it's best to just consider it mundane.

Oddly the fact that practicing Christianity is illegal in Saudi Arabia has gone unnoticed and unremarked about in America. By MAGA's of course but the anti's too. If someone had asked MBS or Trump at the Golden Office press event all hell would have broken out. So of course, crickets.
