One of my favorite jokes of all time is "Adolph Hitler Commits Suicide" being a tiny headline under the banner story about a hare-vs-tortoise race ... in 1943, two years before Hitler committed suicide. He was alive and well when the Warner Bros. cartoonists made this joke.

The only winners out of today’s interest rate increase are the big banks.
And they don’t need the win. They’re already making 200k profit off the average mortgage!
This government is choosing to let ordinary people cop the pain, while corporate profits soar.

Part of the problem of religion in politics is that practicing religious folk believe god is all powerful and controls everything, therefore if they ascend to high office it must have been God’s will that they lead.
When you replace facts with faith, disaster is inevitable.

Tesla reported paying ZERO federal income tax on $5.7 billion of U.S. income in 2025.
Meanwhile, thanks to his new Tesla pay package, Elon Musk could stand to make $3 billion more per year than all 1.4 million elementary school teachers in the U.S. combined.
