I love that 2025 is going out with this last troll and/or bot message in my Insta inbox. “Nunnery.” It’s either an AI glitch, someone who’s 83, or a home schooled 12 year-old.

There is nothing in the Constitution that forbids a president from mass redacting FBI documents to hide evidence of his sex crimes. So the Democrat Party's outrage du jour is, as always, much ado about nothing.

271,000 people have lost their jobs and federal spending has ctually increased. So people get less services, while we added debt paying for private jets for Kristi Noem, bulletproof cars for Kash Patel. This is what the rust belt voters demanded.

Al Qaeda’s high point came with a cult of personality around Osama bin Laden. His successor, Ayman al Zawahiri, was once described as “a black hole of charisma,” and couldn’t replicate bin Laden’s (relative) success.

Not a perfect analogy, but I’ve been thinking about it a bunch lately.

RIP Lou Cannon
Mr. Cannon had a long-term and inside view of Reagan dating back to his CA governorship. His book, “President Reagan: The Role of a Lifetime” is the definitive biography. An excellent read and highly recommended.

EVERCORE: “.. As Trump recalibrates to adjust for the fact that he owns an economy that voters have soured on, investors should expect more policy volatility in 2026.” He’ll pressure Congress and the Fed “to add more stimulus ahead of the midterms, potentially beyond the markets’ comfort level.”
