Apparently “America First” means promising foreign countries financial assistance from US taxpayers but only if they vote for the incumbent president trailing in the polls.

Elon Musk is a white supremacist.
Not particularly aware of history, but that tracks too.
Elon Musk, a pro-apartheid South African, may have come here believing the US was a bastion of English-Scots-Irish culture. (By the way, were the Irish welcomed by the English?)

My grandparents and so many others came here because of the promise of freedom, tolerance, equal rights, and opportunity.

As a strict constitutionalist, I am so horrified by the possibility of a president serving three terms that I may have to write in Edmund Burke in 2028 if Trump runs again.

UCLA said no to Trump's abusive demands, went to court, and the govt is backing off.

Harvard said no to Trump's abusive demands, went to court, and the govt is left sputtering.

Columbia, Cornell, and Northwestern giving in was a big mistake. If only there were lessons against appeasing fascists.

Job growth in the supposedly terrible Biden economy of 2023-24 averaged 192k per month. With 2021-22 it's even higher.

In the supposedly great pre-COVID Trump economy of 2/17-2/20, it averaged 181k.

Now one month of 130k is praised as strong growth, because standards are lower for one special boy.
