Was served an ad for Mike Johnson's pet project, the Ark Encounter theme park in Williamstown, KY.

Genesis describes Noah's Ark as 30 x 50 x 300 cubits and gives no other details. And yet this dweeb is 100% sure he knows what it looked like, wants you to pay $125 to see for yourself.

I got pilloried for suggesting that America needed to hit a low point, that the mob actually hanging Mike Pence on January 6 could have been it. The fever would have broken. The Senate would have convicted. Merrick Garland would been on cleanup duty.

In 2025 we may need a lower low.

There is an asymmetry among the GOP donor class:
They could apply their power to restrain the MAGA right, but center left candidates represent an unrestrained Communist armageddon.

You recently called out the fever dreams of Prof. Jason Stanley for moving himself and his non-white family to Toronto.

This analysis is probably untrue. The large diffusion models are scraping the internet for human images and so much of the internet is, well, you know.

This is no joke. Jewish Dems of a certain age only know Bibi as leader, saw him trash Obama and Biden on the house floor at the behest of the GOP, watched him rally support for Trump.
