Watching OSU-Michigan (Go Buckeyes!). ATT ad appears and “straight shootin’”guy says he can tell fact from fertilizer then claims ATT invented the telephone. Except AG Bell didn’t form his company until a year after inventing the phone. Pedantic? Yes. Corporate fertilizer bullshit? Absolutely.

Sept 5 - Welker asks “Do you acknowledge that these tariffs are a tax?”
Bessent “No, I don’t.”
Nov 14 Bessent “You’re going to see substantial announcements…That will bring down prices very quickly”
Tariffs aren’t a tax but cutting them will slash prices. What a cynical lying sack of shit.

The new ICE song by Jesse Welles nails it.
ICE isn’t recruiting heroes, it’s recruiting the bitter, the rejected, the ones desperate for a badge to cover their failures.

Point Roberts is a geographic anomaly of the treaty that set the U.S./Canada border along the 49th parallel. It’s a part of the US but not connected. Covid crushed the economy. Idiot Trump not helping. We went up to spend some money. You should do the same. Great golf course and restaurant.

Posting here I feel insufficiently politically engaged but I can’t be angry 24/7. Sometimes you have to paella. Yes, it’s a verb! And if you have a few crab as well, so much the better.

Breaking: RFK Jr. has forced out PETER MARKS, the nation’s top vaccine regulator.
In his resignation letter, obtained by the Post, Marks said he was willing to work with RFK Jr on his vaccine concerns — but said Kennedy wishes “subservient confirmation of his misinformation and lies.”

When it comes to threats from abroad, politicians must stop promising quick fixes through border closures—and start investing in the infrastructure needed to actually mitigate these dangers, argue @edwardalden.bsky.social and Laurie Trautman.
