I'm more of a dog person - actually a big time dog person. But for this cat I'll make an exception.

Costas is one of the few hopes left for American media. You may not agree with his positions. But he is one of the few journalists left who still has a firm grasp on that increasingly rare foundation of journalism and American society. The truth.

In the middle of the pandemic, I often thought "Why didn't I invest in some plexiglass manufacturing companies?" Today, I'm asking myself "Why didn't I invest in beer and popcorn manufacturers?" Hindsight is always 20/20.

So Musk thinks he's a genius. He contributes almost $300M to Trump's campaign and several million more on State races. And despite the hundreds of examples to the contrary, Musk thinks he'll be the first person in history Trump doesn't throw under the bus or stab in the back.

US inflation rate for May 2025 was 2.3%. For the EU, same month, was 1.9%. So the EU had a rate 17.4% lower than the US without f*cking around with tariffs. Yes, this only one month, but we've seen this disparity numerous times. Trump is MAGA's Master of the Economy? Spare me.

Ok, Joni. You call yourself a leader. Lead by example. If we're all going to die, you go first...sooner rather than later.
