This fine boy departs the world this day. My heart is shattered. A piece of it goes with you, my sweet annoying friend. My boy. I’m so glad we met.

His name was Banana. He was a fine boy. He was a ham. He was a malfunctioning alarm clock. He was a good brother sometimes. The world feels colder and darker without him. No more suffering for you, buddy. Your dad loves you and always will.

I wrote about why Comey's "86 47" post is indisputably protected speech. The people calling for his arrest and imprisonment—as several government officials are—are being delicate snowflakes who need to get a grip. reason.com/2025/05/16/j...
James Comey's deleted '86 47' Instagram post is obviously protected by the First Amendment
A lot of conservatives are falling prey to the same snowflakery they criticize.

American-owned businesses that manufacture here are still getting crushed because packaging and supplies come from China. If their shipment sits at the port, they’re bleeding storage fees they can’t afford.
Trump is pricing small businesses out of existence.

Trump is sending a Russian scientist who created a breakthrough cancer detection microscope back to Putin's Russia. She was a dissident who criticized Putin and now will be in danger.
“A groundbreaking microscope at Harvard Medical School could lead to breakthroughs in cancer detection... But the scientist who developed computer scripts to read its images and unlock its full potential has been in an immigration detention center for two months” www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...
New images could change cancer diagnostics, but ICE detained the Harvard scientist who analyzes them
Without scientist Kseniia Petrova’s expertise, no one can fully unlock the data’s potential, putting crucial advancements in early cancer detection at risk.

Elon Musk said he’d cut the federal budget by $2 trillion
Quickly lowered this to $1 trillion
Now he’s down to $150 billion
And even THAT appears to be an overestimate of $92 billion
So-after firing thousands of workers and destroying government services
This clown will cut $58 billion

I spoke to a South Carolina woman today who is miscarrying - her fetus has no heartbeat - but the state's ban is preventing doctors from taking action.
She has to walk around with a dead fetus for another week so she can get a FOURTH ultrasound.
