I'd like to congratulate the people of Canada for not being as stupid as we are.

Everyone is going crazy about who Pete Hegseth is including in his signal chats. Come on, folks. The real story is who isn't included. Can someone please tell me how we are supposed to develop legitimate war plans without including Kid Rock or the My Pillow guy?

There's nothing in the Secret Service training manual to prepare agents for the challenges they face today.

“What do you get when you combine economic calamity, a budding mass protest movement, and the regime’s eagerness to display its mastery of the military on the streets of an American city? …I left out one key factor: Trump has 44 months left to serve in his term.” open.substack.com/pub/thebulwa...

Having a sneaking suspicion that — just like it did for Trump’s illegible and science-defying response to Covid — the bullshit machine will find a way to give Trump the win (and relocate blame elsewhere) for his inexplicable tariff rollout and consequent stock market crash.

It’s a recalibration of economic control. Oligarchs don’t live paycheck to paycheck. They have the capital to buy market dips and recoup faster, acquiring more assets at fire sale prices along the way. When the dust finally settles, they will own more. The rest of us will own less. A lot less.
