Some family business. Wish I were staying longer but it’s back to the mud.

Maximum truck size. 95% of truck owners do not need a bigger truck.

Funny thing: I posted that on Twitter and my bike got stolen off my porch later that day.

Seeing an elevated monorail through an urban core is basically like staring upon intergalactic alien technology to this Ohio Man.

Trump is a unique force in American politics, largely because of his run with The Apprentice.

No other Republican will be able to get away with what he does. Not that it will make all the little impressionists that follow him any less insufferable.
MAGA do not hate rich people, they have consistently voted for a man who plasters his name in gold on literal skyscrapers everywhere he can.

You know ball.

And the dirty secret on Ramaswamy is he doesn’t gaggle with the press because he can’t stop putting his foot in his mouth.

His team clearly plans on campaigning through big room speeches and his billionaire buddies bombing the airwaves.
She needs to get this stuff onto the television screens all over the state. It doesn’t even have to be a big production. Just her in front of a camera with this type of stuff superimposed next to her talking about it.
Dr. Acton appears to have developed a cunning campaign strategy: Simply posting Vivek Ramswamy’s words and rich guy facts about his life.

It’s Ohio. But she definitely has a shot and it’s only going to get better over next 11 months.

There would have been Republicans self-immolating by now if Sherrod Brown had run for governor like was the longstanding plan.
It would be amazing if she could pull this off…

Well, no proof of that. But probably more damning, he’s an alleged billionaire who hired independent contractors for his wife’s security because he’s cheap!

Seattle might be GOATED for real for real.

Joyce Beatty has yet to say a word about Leslie Wexner being subpoenaed.
"A chronic, devastating cancer in American society is prominent Democrats outright refusing to share their constituents' urgency and horror in the face of what is being done to society by Republicans..."

That time Mehek Cooke tried to guilt trip people into donating $25 to her doomed Ohio House campaign because her dog died.

Legendary rizz.

Today’s Rooster dispatch features an exclusive interview w/ Emmanuel Remy.

We discuss Remy’s position on alcohol, treatment of City Hall staffers, why he sent his children to private school, Columbus campaign finance laws, and his biggest 2026 legislative goals.

Clearing the air with Councilman Emmanuel Remy
Say what you want about him, and I've said a lot, but Councilman Remy had the honor to sit down and work through some of our problems.

Bro, had I known this would happen, I wouldn’t have deleted the raw footage of him and I squabbling for five minutes.

Tomorrow on The Rooster: Clearing the air with Columbus City Councilman Emmanuel Remy.

Postal Inspectors are only law enforcement organization that require college degrees.

The load of Amazon packages (and frankly, drugs) means they can’t get everyone, but it’s lights out if they turn their eyes on you.
Ask anyone. The postal inspectors do *not* play games.
January 9, 2026 at 12:42 AM
They didn’t have the Ramaswamy angle, which I reported at 9:39 this morning.
January 9, 2026 at 12:41 AM
Tried to tell me to get a job. That’s my line, sir!!!! And now you’re going to prison.
January 9, 2026 at 12:26 AM
The Betsy DeVos henchman who got in my face and told me to get a job got arrested this week for trafficking fentanyl through the mail.

Would be nice for Joyce Beatty to care enough to localize this issue and make Republicans play defense!!!!!
Garcia: Les Wexner was basically Epstein’s sole billionaire benefactor for a long time. He was a huge part of Epstein’s life, and getting him in is going to be really important. He’ll be sitting in front of the Oversight Committee, along with the two executors of the Epstein estate

One of them! But not the 10 others.

Columbus, Ohio, beware!

A five-star pervert named Trevor Bauer is in town this week for a baseball convention. He will be in the Short North and downtown neighborhoods.

He is officially wanted for questioning.

And I have to get in the mud with these hogs because Columbus Democrats apparently think the best way is to ignore these grifters, when, in reality, you have to punch them in the face every time. Otherwise they just get more emboldened.
