President Trump is not only rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic, he is renaming them -- and the ship and the oceans. Beautiful! 🪑🪑🪑🪑

Our @friedmanadam5.bsky.social has spent months interviewing people sued by Advance Financial and combing through data. This, friends, is public service journalism and I am incredibly proud of him.

Elon Musk and SpaceX bring us the latest tech innovation: a Mill Village. Have they settled upon the company script yet? (BTW, textile mill villages weren't all that great for the people living there.) www.foxbusiness.com/technology/s...

Listing tariff charges in the price is a great idea. Amazon capitulated but Target, Walmart, Amazon, Costco and, yes, Amazon should do it. Transparency is good. Sales tax isn't hidden; why hide the tariff taxes (except they are dumb idea).

Don't follow the lead of Jimmy and Dee Haslam in any pick'em contest. It can only lead to bad outcomes. So sorry, Cleveland Browns.

Is Elon Musk disrespectful to the president when he doesn't wear a suit when in the Oval Office or cabinet meetings? He seems to just show in a black T-shirt.

This is where we are now: An elementary school at Fort Campbell has removed all books from its library that so much as *allude* to slavery or the civil rights movement. The wholesale erasure of history in real time.

Elon Musk had never worked well with others who are not subordinates. How many days until Musk tells Trump to resign so he can be solely in charge? The Constitution is just a few broken eggs in the process.
