She is being awfully clingy today. #bostonterrier

When we have idiots running our national health department, even pepperoni is at risk of not having a cure.

Quit trying to find a "tRump deal breaker" for the MAGA crowd. In a cult, there are no deal breakers.

Income tax is the only tool for government revenue that can actually be equitable and moderately stable.

To expound on my observation of historical oligarchy in the U.S., there was a reason the oligarchs sat in the political background, quietly pulling strings. Musk has broken that rule. It's biting him in the financial butt and will cause him to lose any political power he might've had.

And this is why we can't have decent things.

As I observe the political climate, I see woke as intelligent awareness and deep state as competence. So the party of anti-woke and anti-deep state is getting what they want: a blindly ignorant and incompetent government.

The founding fathers chose "president" because it was a passive term. We need to get the executive branch back to that.

What is being called "Artificial Intelligence" is just hyper-search engines. Regurgitating what's out there already isn't intelligent, it's just aping.
