Three things made the US a rich and powerful nation: the rule of law, its science & innovation system, and openness to foreign talent. Remarkable how Trump has taken a sledgehammer to all three. No enemy of this country could do more.

I read recently that most historians believe that the Reichstag fire — long used as the ur-example of a false flag justifying Nazi totalitarianism — was probably just set by a dude acting alone and not at the behest of Nazis. That it was a violent act that served as useful idiocy.

Supreme Court, with the three liberals dissenting, formalizes an earlier decision allowing Trump to fire members of independent agencies & seeks to distinguish this case from a hypothetical case in which Trump fires members of the Federal Reserve. www.nbcnews.com/politics/sup...

Great. This news comes as (1) U.S. govt health communication is sputtering; (2) Trump/RFK fools are running the U.S. health agencies; (3) FDA says COVID vaccines will no longer be available for most folks under 65, and (4) Moderna is pulling the application for its new two-in-one flu/COVID vaccine.

Noem’s statement is true in the Trumpian sense. It’s an answer that, however wrong and stupid in our reality, conveys loyalty to Trump and defiance of anything not-Trump. That’s what being right means to Trumpers.

Republicans in Congress are backing a bill that gives away an insane amount of congressional power to their Lord and Savior Donald Trump. Remember that the next time you hear a MAGA representative call someone else a "weak beta soy cuck" or whatever the current junior high insult is.

Cato has published my comprehensive review of the ~240 Venezuelans the US government renditioned 2 months ago to Salvador’s notorious prison. We identified FIFTY who came legally, never violated any immigration law, but are imprisoned at the US government’s request and at US taxpayer expense.

I want to see Democrats on TV blaming every flight issue on Trump. I want to see them at rallies telling voters that their hospitals are about to be defunded by Republicans. Instead what I see is Dems and the left arguing among themselves about signal votes and word choice.

Trump admits (1) the company thrived during the last year of Biden’s economy and (2) will be bearing the brunt of tariffs in Trump’s economy

For the first time in modern US history, Moody’s has downgraded the United States credit rating from Aaa to Aa1. A direct consequence of economic mismanagement & tariff terrorism by Trump and the GOP, which will lead to higher interest rates on mortgages, credit cards, car loans, and student loans.

so to be clear about what happened here, the Trump White House released audio meant to make Joe Biden look bad to Axios hours after the US's credit rating was downgraded. Trump wanted a distraction and the usual suspects in the press are happy to oblige.

The word "entitlement" has been twisted by the right to mean "unearned". But you ARE ENTITLED to keep your salary, your belongings, and your freedom. ENTITLED means earned. We shouldn't let them bastardize the real meaning.

Re birthright citizenship: The potential chaos is the point. If there is ambiguity regarding who is a citizen and who isn’t, there is then more pretext for rounding up people for being here “illegally” and then making it hard or impossible to prove their citizenship

The Day Grok Told Everyone About ‘White Genocide’ #TeslaTakeDown

The lesson of cases like this is that under our system convictions are more of a sacrament than a matter of reason. Lies, junk science, garbage witnesses — none of that matters. You have to finish the sacral process, and denying it is like denying Christ.

Update: Grok has been patched and no longer responds to inquiries with non-sequiturs about white genocide, instead returning customary and apt responses that are on topic and elaborate on how children are ungrateful and the penis-enlargement industry has been corrupted by Jews
