Ted Cruz is eyeing 2028 Presidential run positioning himself as a voice for a more traditional GOP. Cruz has also called on the GOP to separate itself from former Fox News host Tucker Carlson, whom Cruz has said is injecting the “poison” of antisemitism into the GOP. Ted it's too late, your MAGA.

Zuckerburg/Chan Foundation began pivoting away from social advocacy. The timing is strategic alignment with Zuckerberg’s rightward political recalibration in the Trump era. Zuck better get ready for the host of House investigation that will target him and Meta after 2026 elections.

The NY Times reported earlier this month that House Republicans were “reluctant to give [Jack Smith] a prime public platform out of concern that he could embarrass Trump ... the indictments over the president’s attempt to overturn the 2020 election and his retention of classified documents.”

Internal data obtained by Radio-Canada shows that the Lockheed Martin F-35A Lightning II was the overwhelming top-scoring aircraft in Canada’s fighter competition, outperforming Saab’s Gripen E by a wide margin across all major capability categories. Not sure I believe all the scores...sustainment??

Following temporary production delays earlier this year, the US Air Force has resumed its deliveries of the new F-15EX Eagle II iteration to the Portland Air National Guard Base. A strike affecting workers employed at Boeing’s St. Louis facility halted progress on the Eagle II’s production.

A just-released Gallup Poll showed Trump was 23 points underwater with only 36% of participants viewing him favorably. Trump’s personal all time low is 34% following the attack on the U.S. Capitol. With all-important Independent voters, the poll showed Trump underwater by a whopping 43 points.

At least 16 files on the DOJ webpage containing files on Epstein, including a photos of President Trump, were found to have disappeared from the DOJ's website. You have to assume the DOJ is removing/redacting material related to Trump. He really must be guilty given the amount of redactions!

The U.S. government has imposed sanctions on officials of the International Criminal Court (ICC) in The Hague — a judicial body, — including travel bans and asset freezes for some ICC judges and prosecutors. This was done under an executive order by Trump. What's Trump afraid of ? War Crimes???

2025 US House lawmakers aside from the "one big, beautiful bill," didn't have much to brag about. They have spent less time in session, barely edging out COVID-era voting days in 2021. The Constitution prevents stopping their pay, but maybe hold their pay until they work.

Brian Fitzpatrick is busy trying to look like the "good" guy. Complaining about how doing nothing is "unacceptable" when it comes to healthcare. He says there is "good faith" bargaining going on ... really? Maybe before he voted to do away with ACA tax credits he should have had a replacement plan?

More on data centers and are they really good for your State ? Large companies building data centers often negotiate sweetheart deals with States that include tax breaks and lower electric rates. But the increased infrastructure has to be paid for by someone, normally the other electric consumers.

PA is stepping into the AI Data Center frenzy. They should check what large data centers in Virginia have done to their electricity demand and cost. Without substantial new generation and transmission investment, Virginia energy prices could rise 25 – 75% over the decade to meet data center demand.

If you are following 2028 candidates for President, you might be surprised to see Kamala Harris is right behind Gavin Newsom in early polls. Basically driven by the very groups that cost her the last election (black men and young voters) why would you think she can count on them this time around?

Solar power in deep RED Indiana? Underway in rural Indiana, where farmers are discovering that solar/wind projects can offer financial stability. Landowners are embracing private projects where they rent out their property for renewable energy production. A win-win for the farmers & the energy co.

Revenge Trump style : President Donald Trump vowed to support a primary challenge to the Indiana Senate President Pro Tempore Rod Bray Republican leader of the Indiana Senate who helped kill an effort to redraw the state’s congressional map. Bray doesn't seem too worried ... TACO Trump ?

With an estimated net worth between $5 billion and $7 billion and a penchant for coating every surface in the White House with what he claims to be 18-karat gold leaf paint, President Donald Trump isn’t exactly an expert on personal cost-cutting.
Trump has no clue what the middle class is cutting.

Brian Fitzpatrick (R-Pa.) filed a discharge petition for his legislation that would extend the enhanced tax credits until 2027. Fitzpatrick sees the BLUE wave getting ready to swamp him in 2026. After he voted to get rid of ACA tax credits now he wants you to think he's a hero for extending them.

Trump's ballroom construction continues. Remember the sight because I hope to see it again when the next Democrat is President and tears it down, of course getting "donations" from all the people and companies who help build it.

Anti-vaxxers are at again. They want to ban the two most popular and effective COVID vaccination. The stupidity of these people is beyond believe. They will only be happy when COVID, measles and Polio are killing thousands of children. 1,228,289 confirmed COVID deaths, the most of any country.

Gov. Josh Shapiro (PA) is setting up the Democrats plans to take three GOP House seats. This includes PA-1 seat currently held by Brian Fitzpatrick who has become a newly minted "affordability" convert. This is after he voted to kill ACA tax credits and sat silent while Trump tariffed the world.

Without the tax credits, Pennie — Pennsylvania's ACA marketplace — estimates the monthly plan costs will soar an average of 102% statewide in 2026. That figure factors in next year's 21.5% bump in premiums. People living in Pennsylvania's rural counties are expected to be hit the hardest.

PA-1 Brian Fitzpatrick is now touting his work to lower copays. That is small consolation to people who can't afford healthcare anymore. Cost increases in PA PENNIE program are causing cancellations: so far nearly 31,000 Pennie customers canceled their plans — compared to the ~16,000 who signed up.
